5 Times Mercedes Cars Starred in Hollywood Movies
If there's an auto manufacturer worthy of taking center stage in Hollywood, it's the brand with the three-pointed star. Check out these Mercedes-Benz movie stars.
Ronin (1988) - 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9
The Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 was the equivalent of the AMG S 63 for its time. The high-performance variant of the S-Class was an aspirational luxury vehicle even before its memorable appearance in Ronin. As a part of one of the coolest car chase scenes ever, the 450 SEL was driven by Jean Reno's character as the star of the film, Robert De Niro shoots a rocket out of the sunroof!
Dude, Where's My Car? (2000) - 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500
A movie characterized as a less-than-sophisticated form of comedy, Dude, Where's My Car chronicles the adventures of a pair of young men who embark on a journey to find their busted-up Renault Le Car. The 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 they drive throughout the movie actually takes an essential starring role.
The Hangover (2009) - 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Cabriolet
As ridiculous as it is famous around the world, the hangover series of movies feature numerous interesting appearances. Who could forget Mike Tyson and his tiger? One of the most memorable of these cameos is made by this lovely 1965 Mercedes 220 SE Cabriolet, which the gang of crazy dudes manages to destroy on their adventures, just as they do everything else.
Liar Liar (1997) - 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL 500
Playing the role of an arrogant lawyer, who makes quite a living with his ability to deceive, Jim Carrey can be seen behind the wheel of a 1996 Mercedes SL 500. Aside from looking pretty, the role of this Benz includes receiving a gnarly scratch on its body side.
