Starsky and Hutch cameo ??


anyone noticed at the end when Ken is in the yellow car followed by doznes of police cars

when they go over a bridge which on the sides it has GRAFFIT cars one of the traffic cars appears on the rigth side just before the cut , it's red and has those white stripes like the Ford Grand Torino of Starsky and Hatch

anyone noticed this ??? could it be a conncidence or a CAMEO?

reply

No idea, but it's Starsky and Hutch, not Hatch.

reply

the Bill Pullman character named his fish Tobbs and Crocket after Miami Vice so we could assume this is a reference to Starsky and Hutch

here the screenshot , see on the right http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_472577-Ford-F-Series-1977.html

PERHAOS THIS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE TRIVIA SECTION OF IMDB !!!!

What does Miami Vice have to do with Starsky and Hutch, besides both being TV shows about cops?

reply

the fact that they may have a allusion in this movie ?? if the producers made an allusion to Miami Vice maybe they also made this allusion to Starsky and Hutch!!!!!

you really think that car with those famos white stripes is just a coincidnce and not something deliberate ???

reply

I have no idea, and neither do you.

The Miami Vice reference was deliberate and overt. If there was an allusion to Starsky and Hutch, it was buried and barely noticeable.

I know this is an old post but the car in the picture is a Plymouth Duster. The Starsky & Hutch car is a Ford Gran Torino.
