Sorry if this has been brought up before, but what the hell happened to his Mustang? He never even bothers to find it after Theon took off with it from that shop.
shareI thought they did a decent job of demonstrating throughout the movie that he didn't really care about the car.
He knew he could replace the car... he couldn't replace the dog and what it represented.
It was a chop shop. That car, in it's current form, failed to exist within an hour or less.
shareTheon took it to fight the white walkers
shareI like to think it will magically return in the sequel.
shareYeah, I was wondering that towards the end of the movie. It kind of bugs me that he never gets his Boss 429 back. The way it was portrayed, the car was a part of the character--an extension of himself, so it just seemed odd and out of place that he never got it back in the end. The final scene should have been him driving off in his Boss with his new dog in the passenger seat. Literally the only way you could have ended this film. They just left that storyline incomplete for no reason.
shareWhere'd you get that? The car was just a thing he liked. He didn't want to sell it but I don't see how a thing on screen for maybe three minutes could be an "extension" of him. All that really showed was that he didn't want to part with it for money.
Those seven years of MacGyver finally payed off
The letter from Bridgit Moynahan said "something... someone to love and no, the car doesn't count" so there was obviously a very strong connection to the car, probably the #2 thing in his life after his wife.
shareYes, I remember that line but I think it was more of a joke. Like how people joke about how their longest relationship is to their car or to alcohol or something. The car being an "extension" of the character is absurd, the car is just a thing he drives around in.
Those seven years of MacGyver finally payed off
They say it's a 1969 Boss 429, but it's actually a 69 Mach 1 probably with a 428 cobra jet under the hood. Still a beautiful car but far cry from a Boss '9.
shareCheaper to destroy a later model prop than to build a prop of that car just to be destroyed.
And like others have said, it was just a car.
he either finds it after this film or he buys another but it's in the trailer for jw2... or at least a similar mustang is.
shareNow we know. As such, I like that the first thing he does in the sequel is retrieve it from the Russians. Of course! But what happened to it in the process was, well, not the easiest thing to watch. Heh. But you know Aurelio is getting that baby back in tip-top shape!
Since a third film is on the way, I would love to see the car used in more of the action (and can somehow avoid damage!). Update: next time!
Do they resurrect the puppy too? On second thought, dont spoil.
