Lightbulb Falcons in movies and TV

Don't know if a list like this has been compiled before, but I made a top 10 list of media the Falcon has appeared in. Probably the last Falcon-related thing out of my system now (until last4 auction coverage I guess). Hope you like it.

Filmed in South Africa. I saw plenty of Territory Police cars there in 2011.

Plenty of Fairlane and Falcon hearses in UK TV shows.

Stunt driver who drove it commented on how well it drove

Some things I would like to contribute:

Swerve had an explosive end to an AU Fairlane.

The Brock telemovie just shown had a baby blue Falcon GT chasing him down.

The Day After Tomorrow has a Falcon or two dressed up as NYC taxis in a flood scene.

Death Race 2 had EF and EL Fairmonts dressed up as LAPD-style cop cars.

My missus watches Home and Away and I've noticed a number of Falcons in it.

And no, I don't watch it.

Rush (Melbourne cop show from a few years ago) was supplied by Ford, I think.

Watching The Streets of San Francisco is always interesting for a Ford fan since almost all the cars are seventies Fords of some kind - Galaxie, LTD, Thunderbird, Mustang, etc. Must have had an exclusive supply contract for the studio.

Bluey (aka Bargearse) often featured Valiants.

Don't forget The Professionals for Ford Capris!

There was a falcon in Bullet, don't know if it was passed as many times as the little beetle was in the chase scene.

There's a pretty filthy XT Falcon in Romper Stomper. It's so bad that it's almost good.

Love the Stomper XT, has cool character.

Drive Hard is a fairly poor movie, but has an corker of a XA GT Hardtop in it.

I am pretty certain there was more than a couple of falcons got blown up in one of Tom Cruises' mission impossible movies too. I think it was the second one.
