Top 5 Hollywood Benzos

Check out the homepage article with Teddy Field's list of the Top 5 Hollywood Benzos. Is this the definitive list, or did Teddy leave something out?

Money Talks? Rush Hour 3?

Not really any car chase scenes, but they sure did showcase the W140 and R129. Rush Hour 3, OTOH, showcases a black SL AMG with Chris Tucker chasing down a villain, while Jackie Chan is on foot in LA.

A few weeks ago, Covert Affairs (USA Network TV series) had the villain driving through the streets of Istanbul in a shiny black E63 AMG.

Transformers Dark of the Moon had a maybach, a ML being destroyed, and an SLS AMG Gullwing as a decepticon.

Top 5 Hollywood Benzos

The S-Class in Michael Clayton.

From IMDB page:
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan that is blown up in this film was first used in filming of The Devil Wears Prada. For the earlier film it was cut in two for use in process shots featuring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. It was then welded back together and repainted in order to be blown up in Michael Clayton. The car's preparation was featured on Shooting Cars.
