Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

In Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Jim Carey drives a beat up blue 72 Monte Carlo. In fact, it gets beat up pretty badly through the course of the movie. I remember a part where Carey says "It's a high performance machine, I have to put Super Premium in her!" Then a big ugly guy busts out the front window. Jim then has to stick his head out the window like a dog because he can't see out of the front due to all of the cracks in the glass. It's also hilarious how he drives the car. It's also funny when he opens up the ashtray and there's dog food in there. Go rent it now! It's hilarious!

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

A first generation Monte Carlo make an appearance when Tyrese drives a Monte in the crash derby. There is another Monte Carlo with the number 19 on the side when there is a fight next to Tyrese's motor-home at the derby.

The Jerk (1979)

The Jerk was a movie from around 1979 that starred Steve Martin at the peak of his hilarious stupidity. The movie is about a white man, Navin R. Johnson, that grew up in a black family. On Navin's 18th birthday his black mother broke the sad news to Navin that he is not their natural born child. Navin said, "You mean I'm going to stay this color?!?" Anyway, when Navin decided to leave his home for adventure, he set out on a long journey that brought him from his poor family to being a wealthy inventor then back to being poor again. Here is where the Monte Carlo comes into this:

When Navin is working at a small service station, a Medium Blue 1971 Monte Carlo pulls up to the pump. The car has 4 Mexican guys in there and they try to pay with a stolen credit card. Navin calls the police. When Navin senses that the Mexicans were getting suspicious of what he was doing, he told them that they "won a free oven mitt" to keep them from driving off. Then Navin starts to chain the car up to a nearby churches water spigot so they will surely not be able to get away with the stolen card. However the Mexican guys start up the Monte Carlo and commence in pulling a part of the church off of the rest of the church and going down the road towing a "small church".

There are several interesting things about this Monte Carlo. First of all, any Monte Carlo enthusiast would notice the front headlights, which look like a 1977 Monte Carlo "stacked" dual headlights. I don't know how they did this or why, but it looks rather interesting. Also the car has hydrolics and when they pull up to the pump, they "hit tha switches". Navin then tells them, "Hey, I can fix those shocks!".

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

In this Movie, from around 1978, starred Burt Reynolds who is a big "show-off" in his black '77 Trans Am. There is a small shot of another blue 1971 Monte Carlo in this flick, although not in the spendor that the Monte Carlo deserves. The car wrecked into some other car who was trying to get out of the way of the "bandit" who was being chased by the cops. It was only a two second shot but it was recognizable to a Monte Carlo fan.

The Crow (1994)

The Girl In The Empty Grave (1977)

"The Girl In The Empty Grave" starred Andy Griffith. When a husband and wife are discovered dead, a small town police chief begins an intensive investigation, including an attempt to verify sightings of the couple's deceased daughter. It was filmed in 1977 and the girl in question drove a silver 1970 Monte with the early halo top. You only get to see it in the beginning and end of the movie.
