1) Panic in the City - Howard Duff on the trail of left-over Nazi's
trying to build an H-Bomb in LA. Bad guys try to outrun the cops in a Series
V. Cheesy crash.
2) The Avengers (TV) "The Danger Makers" Head of gang of "dare-devils",
planning to steal Crown Jewels, takes the delectable and unflappable Emma
Peel for a fast ride in a Series IV. (Note: The A&E Network, which most
recently used to air this show, cut out this entire sequence to make room for
more commercials. Boo!!
3) The Parent Trap David Niven's daughter takes her Series IV for a
spin - with a stuck throttle!! Great airborne shot.
4) Norwood Glen Campbell, in his first movie roll, plays a country
hick who unknowlingly transports stolen cars across state lines - including a
1969 Alpine GT.
Unbelievable premise - who would STEAL an Alpine fastback? Includes goofy
chase scene with police. Turn it off after the Alpine "crashes", as movie
gets even worse with introduction of midget and dancing chicken.
5) Get Smart (TV) KAOS plans to blow up top US space scientists with "the
old bomb-in-the-snack-truck-trick." Includes FOUR classic Sunbeam scenes,
including a crash, a chase, two ejector seats, and demonstrations of EVERY
spy gadget known to man! Every gadget!! Well....would you believe....ALMOST
every gadget? As in almost all of the episodes, a Series V Alpine
substitutes for the Tiger. Look for a quick glimpse of a Series II early in
this episode.
6) Get Smart (TV) Max shows off all of the Sunbeam's goodies to a national
magazine writer. KAOS has booby-trapped it.
7) Charlie's Balloon Gramps (Jack Albertson) takes his grandkid on a
ballon ride across the country. Mom and a "free-lance TV-reporter" try to
keep up in his Series IIIB Minx convertible. Seduced by a Minx?
Also, from your listing:
Human Jungle (Elizabeth Taylor): Is this right? Perhaps you're thinking of
Butterfield 8?
Dr. No: Its a Series II.
Viva Las Vegas (Elvis): Isn't this the one with Elvis, driving a Cobra,
racing with Ann Margaret in the opening scene?
