Movie Pics from Charles

Thanks to Charles for sharing jeep pics from some movies. I don't have time to figure out which pics belong to which movie, since Ann and I are going to enjoy an evening together.

    first pic shows jeep with no motor/grill/radiator...i saw another movie where they blew up the 'shell' of a jeep...as it flew off the bridge, you could see the empty motor bay...

    Looks like most of them are from the movie " Patton"

    Patton---- gets my vote----the 4th picture down-- not a expert, but that looks like a cj3B-- the hoods appears to be a lot higher then what is on the fender- among other differences ,I remember that scene and always thought the jeep was a 3b , but it went by very fast-- looking at the head lights, appears the hood is higher then the other jeep with extra metal on top of the slants --- but claim only very basic knowledge , so feel free to correct me

    They are ALL from Patton. This is one of my favorite films, having viewed it over 20 times. The pictures are not posted in order of the movie, but here are the scenes : pictures 1 - 3 " Sicily Invasion " - this is when Omar Bradley's jeep is blown up while taking cover. 4 " Patton's arrival in Europe " - his arrival at Bradley's command trailer just prior to receiving command of the 3rd. Army ! 5 - part way along the Sicily attack. 6 - 10 are in the very opening minutes of the movie , after the famous speech and opening titles. Here Bradley's group arrives in Tunisia to access the casualties of the Kasserine Pass battle. Picture 11 jumps back to Sicily. This scene features the jeep bouncing like crazy over ruts, as Monty is informed that Patton has taken Palermo. This film is a must watch classic. " Cheers ! "

    Great movie, but....another case of Hollywood and their poor technical vehicle data. Ah, to be a kid again and just enjoy the film w/o knowing the incorrect vehicles and armament! Look at 'Tora, Tora, Tora' or any Pearl Harbor movie, ALL the jeeps are wrong. Only correct ones would be MA's, GP's, BRC's or 'slatgrill' MB's. I know, I know you're thinking...they didn't have CGI at the time...but there was more surplus available...

    The movie in harms way depicted the attack on pearl harbor and and had m151 mutts for jeeps. was a great movie though. i love the movie patton but yea the jeeps are all wrong. the one in the pictures with the mb grill was actually a cj2a.

    Whoa...this comment section is turning into a 'craigslist'! Just to be clear...are there 3 Craig's here, or only 2? I'm the 5th comment...Craig in Maine.

    There are a lot of Craig's. If you want to be singled out, you may want to add a state or city to your screen name, like I do and Craig/Vermont does.
