Yep...my wife and I just got back from seeing "Get Smart," too. Let me echo
the other three posters when I say that, for those of you who were hoping
for a big boost in the image and value of the Tiger like the '67 Shelbys
experienced after "Gone in 60 Seconds," you're in for a big disappointment.
The Tiger only shows up in two scenes, none of which is particularly
flattering, and both of which were too short and totally inconsequential.
Being a fan of the original series, I was a little (just slightly)
disappointed in the movie; it just didn't have the laughs that the original
series had. It was entertaining, nonetheless.
Driving my Tiger and "loving it,"
