In terms of marketing, the Dodge Charger is a no brainer for attention grabbing. The name “Hemi” is so synonymous with power that even the most clueless, or uninterested, non-car person knows that it means it can go fast. A ’68-70 Dodge Charger looks like its wearing aviator sunglasses full-time. Those that own one, even a used ex-rental with a worn V6, probably enjoy responding with confidence to the question, “What do you drive?”Īll Chargers, except maybe the 4th generation, look aggressive and intimidating when seen through a rear-view mirror. The name Charger is fun to say and it relates to power. It’s easy to see why Dodge Chargers are constantly type-cast as both hero and villain cars.

The Dukes of Hazzard destroyed over 300 just to make the show, not counting the movies, spin-off TV movies, and annual Duke-fest.īullitt, Dirty Marry and Crazy Larry, Grand Theft Auto, Eat My Dust, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Death Proof, Drive Angry, John Wick, Ride Along, and Vanishing Point all show a Dodge Charger (new or old) getting destroyed, and those are just off the top of my head! When was the last time you saw a badass Dodge Charger, new or old, in a movie and not see it get written-off in a massive stunt or crash? It’s rare if a Dodge Charger survives the whole movie or episode. The Fast and Furious franchise has destroyed Dom Torreto’s ’70 Dodge Charger so many times that I’m surprised Dom doesn’t feel guilty, as an enthusiast, for ruining his father’s car so many times. I was sitting at my desk waiting for the caffeine to kick in when it dawned on me that Dodge Chargers are the Sean Bean of the movie cars. KITT, Herbie, Christine, General Lee, and the Blues Mobile are all examples cars that became famous for the characters they played. In the world of cinema cars can sometimes steal the show and become immortalized in pop culture. However, Sean Bean is commonly known as “the guy” the same way most people think that Nickelback sucks and that Nicholas Cage is a weird sellout. Even though he is only 4 th on the list of actors with the most deaths in film, John Hunt is actually the actor with the most character deaths under his belt.

Sean Bean is often known as the guy who always dies in movies and TV shows.
