10 Times Movies Got the Car Choice All Wrong
Movies love a great car almost as much as they love a great hero. The right vehicle can instantly define a character, a mood, or an entire era. But sometimes Hollywood gets it spectacularly wrong. Whether it’s a car that makes no sense for the character driving it, a model that clashes with the setting, or a choice that unintentionally distracts from the story, these automotive misfires tend to stick out more than filmmakers probably intended. From impractical rides to baffling brand choices, these are the times movies picked the wrong car—and accidentally reminded us that even the smallest details can pull an audience out of the moment.
