Surprised no one has reported this one yet (or maybe I missed the
memo?). In Clint Eastwood's latest, 'The Mule' there is a red BJ8
featured briefly, but prominently, in a couple scenes. Eastwood, who
has been transporting coke for a Mexican cartel, is brought to meet the
cartel's big boss in Mexico; as he's driven up in a black Escalade--of
course--there is a Mustang, a Cobra, an E-Type and, as Eastwood gets out
of the SUV the red BJ8 is seen in the background. A few minutes later,
there is a framed shot of the drug lord's mansion in front in the
evening, and the BJ8 is on the left, the Cobra is in the center and
there's another older car--think it might be a Jag coupe, not sure--on
the right. Eastwood is the kind of director who leaves nothing to
chance--frames every scene--and it's pretty damn cool he featured the
Healey in a full shot; the Cobra and the other car (Jag?) were both
partially obscured. I'm a cheap ass, except when it comes to my cars,
and I waited for the movie to be rentable 'On Demand,' which is nice
because, of course, I could back it up and forward it to verify my
sighting (and try to discern the dialog my old ears often miss). The
first shot is at 1:00:37, and the second at 1:01:27.
The movie? Oh, it was OK; for $5.99 it was worth it for the Healey
sighting. My SO was only slightly annoyed but, she drives a Focus.
