night cub ◊ 2018-08-11 04:45	Ddey65 wrote Not a 128? Correct, not a 128. I also don't think it's a real Fiat.
Kooshmeister ◊ 2018-08-11 05:27	What makes you think that?
130rapid ◊ 2018-08-11 10:06	It reminds Lada 2103, very much.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-08-11 13:07	Yes, but it is 2106/1600. Footage borrowed from different film/series?
Kooshmeister ◊ 2018-08-11 16:22	Not as far as I'm aware. Magnum appears to drive it while being chased by an armored car through the jungle.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2018-08-11 21:45	Indeed, saw later the trailer, where the car is also visible and does some stunts.
night cub ◊ 2018-09-25 17:53	From the fantasy opening segment, the scene takes place in North Korea, where Robin Masters' character that is suspiciously a lot like Magnum escapes with a family to a waiting helicopter, which is piloted by a character just like TC. So apparently Robin Masters' novels are about Magnum and his friends. -- Last edit: 2018-09-25 17:54:59

Gamer ◊ 2018-09-25 20:10	And no 2106s either.
Ingo ◊ 2018-09-25 20:24	Gamer wrote And no 2106s either. No, the Northkoreans never were COMECON-car fans, they preferred and still prefer West German, Japanese and US cars, and then larger ones, not Lada-size or smaller. The only Soviet car, I remember, were some single Volga M-24.

Ingo ◊ 2018-09-25 22:24	kegare wrote Well, I found lots of Nivas and UAZ in north Korean movies, in case you missed those. I mean cars, not 4X4 Jeeps. Most popular are four door-Sedans, I cannot remember Wagons and two door-cars.
-- ◊ 2018-09-25 22:32	Other Soviet sedans...GAZ M-21 Volga, Pobeda, ZIM, ZiS were used in north Korea. -- Last edit: 2018-09-25 22:41:49
Dmitry_P ◊ 2018-09-25 22:48	Discussion of Soviet/Russian cars in North Korea reminded me of a photo released by Korean news agency Yonhap, which was widely discussed in Russia on car forums in July 2018. It revealed that Kim Jong-un uses 2009 Lada Priora with old-style door handles for his inspection trips. You can see a chrome handrail installed in place of the front right seat headrest and decorated with coats of arms coverings: -- Last edit: 2018-09-25 23:11:33
-- ◊ 2018-09-25 22:51	It has been discussed here, too: /vehicle.php?id=1165854 What coat of arms would they use on the interior of a Lada really? To me it's some aftermarket seat cover. -- Last edit: 2018-09-25 23:06:26
Kooshmeister ◊ 2018-09-29 16:09	3 stars. Fantasy sequence or not, it's used in a chase.

You can see a chrome handrail installed in place of the front right seat headrest and decorated with coats of arms coverings: I guess that's the element of surprise. Some worker sees a boring '09 Lada and thinks "Our grand Supreme Leader would not be caught dead in such a boring plain car." What a shock they got once Kim steps out of the car.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2019-04-17 14:11	That was one occasion when Kim was visiting an island and perhaps could not have his usual Benz shipped over. https://twitter.com/NKResearcher/status/1013002620162568192 -- Last edit: 2019-04-17 14:11:41
night cub ◊ 2020-05-26 09:18	2.10: s13a wrote Filmed where? IMDb says the series was filmed in Hawaii, yet Lada were never officially sold there? Unless it's a Canadian-sourced 1500/1600 [21061-37]. -- Last edit: 2020-05-26 09:19:55
