What Movies or TV shows had a Kawasaki Z1R in it?

I know of:

CHiPs TV series - "Name your Price" and "The Killer Indy"
Movies - "MadMax", "The Road Warrior" and "Cobra" with sylverter Stallone.

Do you know any more? Please add to this post.

 

Didn't Arnie's daughter pillion on one in "True Lies"? Was a small Kwaka
of some kind ...

ZXR750-J2
(most people would burn James Cameron at the stake for having made that
sinking-ship movie; personally, I think "True Lies" was exponentially more
vile than even that)

 

How about STONE the movie,except most of em rode Z1's
Good movie though.

 

Keanu Reeves in Chain Reaction rode a Z1 in freezing weather.

Dunno about the others, but CHiPs rode Z1000s, and I can't remember a Z1R in
Mad Max either...

Isn't that like trying to decide whether you should execute Hitler for
gassing the Jews or gassing the Poles ? Both equally horrendous acts
deserving of the full penalty of law.

How about we turn the question around, has he ever created a movie that
could be considering a redeeming feature against the other atrocities
he's committed ?

Aliens.

"17 days? Hey, man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna
last 17 hours. Those things are gonna come in here, they're gonna come in
here just like they did before, and they're gonna come in here and they're
gonna get us!"

Anyone who can watch "Aliens" without, in the best tradition of Keanu Reeves
standing on the roof of an office tower, going "whoa" at the end of it,
would have to vie for the title of the most boring person on earth.

 

"The Thing" was OK. Didnt he also do "The Abyss"?

 

"The Thing", or the 1982 remake of it, anyway, was a John Carpenter joint.
"The Abyss", on the other hand, was Cameron, and none too shabby an effort
at all, I must say.

 

Remember his cop mate who rode the Z1R. Didnt he get burned alive or
something?

 

Goose.
No, it was a silver Z1000 (as was Bubba Zanetti's).
No Z1Rs in Mad Max / Road Warrior!

(Or GPZ1100s!)

 

Fox in The Hat Productions is of the opinion:

I think there may have been one in "Stone", but I couldn't say for sure. A
pretty good movie to watch while stoned, I might add.

Mmm Ok, while I probably rate as one of the most boring people on earth
anyway, yes I'll rate Alien, I'm not convinced the sequel was better
than the original however. Question is though does that let him off the
hook ? Two decent flicks - yeah I suppose - Kubrick gets rated a genius
on the back of 2 great, 2 decent and a swag of OK's ....

<sigh>

Did you mean "OK" as in "not quite the worst movie of all time but I
guess I didn't get robbed the $3 I paid for it when it came out as a
weekly" ?

 

Well I guess that's two for, 1 against (and probably rising). I still
think it's lame.

JL

 

Having checked IMDB, ahhh that explains it (Alien/Aliens) - the original
by Ridley Scott and the sequel by James Cameron. OK, I'll rate him for
Aliens and T1 (T2, nice try, but...) - above average, not genius but
very solid, high points of the genre. The rest of his resume is weak,
but then Titantic sold shitloads so what do I know

JL

 

Well, you could start by proclaiming that people are lame, and go for
overhyped bullshit if instructed to do so.

At the same time, though, I do consider Aliens to be something fairly
special, because of how_honed_a piece of storytelling it is; I've seen and
nitpicked the bloody thing too many times to count, and I really can't point
to any single scene or even an individual shot or snippet of dialogue which
trips the story up (I won't say the same for the director's cut, which from
which only 1 extra set of scenes should've been left in the original; the
ones with the robot sentries and the monochrome-screen laptops which form
their control consoles), or looks contrived, overwrought or overly
attention-seeking. Everything in it just_flows._

If I can ever write a report of one of my dirtbiking weekends that manages
transitions from ambience, to tension, to action and back again half as well
as that, I'll be content.

 

Not a FUCKING chance!!

(I think there were some ELRs though... and one mach111)

 

I'm with you JL.
While the sequel was a satisfactory mega shoot-em-up (and probabaly a bit
of a pioneer in the genre) the original was a damn scary movie and a
"classic" in every way I can rate.
