- ilovefood 9y agoThank you so much! I finally found the car from Wolf of Wallstreet that I'll buy.
- amelius 9y agoWhich one?
- robin_reala 9y agoPresumably the Countach 20th Anniversary.
- LeonM 9y agoIt was a 25th anniversary edition. And I say was because they actually wrecked the real car for the movie (instead of using a replica). Such a shame...
- robin_reala 9y agoOops, 25th of course. And I hadn’t realised it was a real one :( Hopefully they trashed a non-runner at least.
- cpayne624 9y agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVp5a38WT_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVp5a38WT_0
- anon335dtzbvc 9y agoSo where do i find the top 250 list?
- kowdermeister 9y agoHere's the stats page: http://www.imcdb.org/stats.php?type=makes&subject=2&limit=25 http://www.imcdb.org/stats.php?type=makes&subject=2&limit=25
- scrollaway 9y agoI love that site. I first found it when I googled a license plate from an IT Crowd episode, which led me to another movie (love and other disasters) where the exact same car was used: https://imgur.com/a/So1m6 https://imgur.com/a/So1m6 So cool. :)
- jokoon 9y agoAlso don't forget about the Internet Movie Firearms database http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page Crazy to see that there are custom made guns in movies, like this one: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Bourne_Supremacy,_The#Keppeler_.26_Fritz_KS_II_Mockup_Prop http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Bourne_Supremacy,_The#Keppeler_.26...
- sytelus 9y agoI'm wondering where all these props end up after movie is done. There is so many things usually get created from costumes to props even in average movie which usually get disappear. Wouldn't it be good startup that works with producers to collect all these material and puts in some online shop? It doesn't have to be for fans for specific movie. For example, if I wanted shoes, I can just look up that website to see if anything used in movie is available in my size. It reduces burden of finding cool stuff on customer part.
- sanswork 9y agoThey reuse a lot of them. A lot of props come from prop shops that lend them out. Here's an example http://i.imgur.com/mItm9Og.png http://i.imgur.com/mItm9Og.png
- Famicoman 9y agoOne of my favorite examples of this is the magnetic boots in Face Off (1997) and the boots the Goombas wear in Super Mario Bros. (1993)
- Freak_NL 9y agoOr that one newspaper¹ — not the exact same physical item obviously. 1: http://www.businessinsider.com/ed-oneill-has-been-reading-the-same-newspaper-for-20-years-2012-9?international=true&r=US&IR=T http://www.businessinsider.com/ed-oneill-has-been-reading-th...
- bakztfuture 9y agoThis is brilliant!
- hollander 9y agoBeautiful! http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_43840-Rover-Mini-Chic-ADO20-1997.html http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_43840-Rover-Mini-Chic-ADO20-199... For images like this one, make a submit/suggest/correct button, without having to register. I don't see the BMW 7 and Peugeot 406 mentioned.
- borispavlovic 9y agoThe big car in the center is a BMW and behind, a bit left is the Peugeot
- growt 9y agoI think he meant that the two cars are not mentioned (not that he/she does not see them). The BMW is mentioned in another frame for that movie: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_455078-L-anniversaire.html http://www.imcdb.org/movie_455078-L-anniversaire.html
- Elizabet 9y agoThanks a lot!
- MsCate 9y agoIt's great
- onorton 9y agoMy Dad loves to point out in period films when cars came out after the film was set. He'll love this and I guess I can one-up him now.
- krets 9y agoIs this actually done by hand or is it Machine Learning behind it?
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoManual, similar to IMDB, Wikipedia, etc; never underestimate the power of crowdsourcing.
- cyberferret 9y agoWow, this is great (and very comprehensive). I remember being really intrigued years ago when I stumbled on "The Cars of Tintin" [1] (one of my favourite comics as a kid). The vehicles in Tintin were beautifully drawn and the attention to detail was exquisite. Someone also did a "Planes of Tintin" [2]. I wonder if anyone has done "Internet movie plane database"? If so, I hope someone can post a good link as an appendix to the OP...

- dingaling 9y agohttp://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=The_Internet_Movie_Plane_Database http://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=The_Internet_Movie_Plan... I used to contribute to the 'mystery planes identification parade', I really should make time again to do so.
- RickJWagner 9y agoHuh. I like it.
- b__d 9y agoi'd like something like that for watches.
- mwexler 9y agoAs it turns out... http://watchesinmovies.info/ http://watchesinmovies.info/ And if you want to see what the celebs choose in real life and compare to what they chose in the move, sometimes http://www.watch-id.com/ http://www.watch-id.com/ has the info.
- roman_savchuk 9y agoSurprised to see that of all motorcycles only HD Electra Glide made it to the top 250 vehicles.
- helipad 9y agoAlright, alright, alright http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=106677 http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=106677
- chiph 9y agoThe burger stand from the film is still running in Austin: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3512032,-97.7339721,3a,39.5y,101.78h,91.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1snYwyhMwunkU8RiN-eu7OXw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3512032,-97.7339721,3a,39.5y... Not sure if you'll see a Plymouth RoadRunner Superbird there though...
- sokoloff 9y agoCool. One of our cars is in the database, despite having just been a background car.
- zonged 9y agoour cars?
- sokoloff 9y agoOne of the cars my family owns. (We've had a few old cars over the years appear in TV series or background of movie shots; never managed to land a "hero car" role for any of them.) Only one made the database, which was surprising to me that it made it as it was a background shot, not at all critical to the movie.
- H00tyMcOwlFace 9y agoWhy
- gokhan 9y ago"Because it's there"
- mcdonje 9y agoThere sure are a lot on a show called "Top Gear".
- z3t4 9y agoIs this done via computer vision or manually ? Either way it's impressive.
- throwaway2016a 9y agoI would like to know too. It always intrigues me how sites like this that have a seemingly unique database actually build the database. And if it is computer vision, how did they get the footage?
- sosuke 9y agoIt is all done by hand I bet. Started in 2004
- elihu 9y agoAre the DMV records public in many states? It seems like you could feed a corpus of video into a license plate scanning algorithm and lookup make/model from DMV records, if available. Presumably, that would be more accurate than trying to recognize the vehicle from appearance (either manually or using machine learning).
- throwaway2016a 9y agoMovies are often shot on private lots. There is no requirement that a vehicle actually be registered and be using a real valid license plate unless it is driven on public roads. (at least in the US) I would be curious if that database is public, though.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoIt's all manually done!
- zeep 9y agoNitpick: Some probably should be merged, like these Honda bikes: CBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird (11) CBR 1100 XX Superblackbird (1)
- jdlyga 9y agoYes, the movie Cars is in the database :)
- tiirbo 9y agoVery, very cool!
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoI wonder how long the Crown Vic will be out of production before it stops being the most popular make/model.
- callumprentice 9y agoCouldn't find the SV9 Competizione mostly I think because search ignores terms less than 4 characters. Friend of mine worked on it and it was featured briefly in True Blood - http://thethrottle.com/2010/08/06/what-does-true-bloods-lafayette-drive-17-hq-photos/ http://thethrottle.com/2010/08/06/what-does-true-bloods-lafa... Will try to add it if it really doesn't exist.
- oblib 9y agoThis is cool as can be, especially the "custom cars" section. There are a few in there I worked on but I helped build most of this one when I was around 16 years old... http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Custom+made&model=Evel+Knievel&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Custom+made&model=Eve...
- bovermyer 9y agoBack to the Future is not listed for the DeLorean.
- Amorymeltzer 9y agoYes it is: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_88763-Back-to-the-Future.html http://www.imcdb.org/movie_88763-Back-to-the-Future.html http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&sortBy=4&make=De+Lorean&model=DMC+12&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&sort...
- 5_minutes 9y agoThis is why the internet exists. This is awesome. Oh this: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_243751-Austin-FX4-1968.html http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_243751-Austin-FX4-1968.html
