Have you ever had a feeling that if a car wasn’t available, a certain hero would have died? Or that a car chase scene was made 100 times more interesting due to the cars they used to chase? Or is it just me? Well, call me a car fanatic. But I feel that the vehicle used by the ero in the film should suit the hero’s character, right? I mean, imagine Batman driving a Volkswagen Beetle and fighting for the world. Doesn’t fit the picture right? Thankfully, directors take special care when choosing a vehicle for their movie characters. We have already discussed the top iconic cars in movies, but now, let us explore the top luxury car brands that are often seen in movies. 

What car brand is in most movies?

Here is an alist of the top 5 luxury car brands that were featured in moves. 

1. Ford In Movies

Well, Ford is the king of this list, as its different models were used in 10,363 movies. The Ford Crown Victoria is the most used car in movies. It is followed by my favorite, the Ford Mustang, which appeared in 1,019 and 932 movies, respectively. Ford Crown Victoria appeared in famous movies like Taken 3, Super Bad, and Seven Pounds. On the other hand, the Ford Mustang made an appearance in Gone In 60 Seconds, Death Race, and Bullit. These appearances made the cars more famous and sought-after models of the entire chain. 

2. Chevrolet in Movies

This American Automobile company has always been famous among the stars and movies of all time. Driving a Chevy has always symbolized style and sophistication. The Chevrolet Impala stands out as the most famous Chevrolet car featured in films, appearing in 6,508 movies. It has been a star of movies like Jeepers Creepers, Saturday Night Fever, and Raising Arizona. Impressive, isn’t it? Followed closely by Chevrolet Caprice in 721 movies, like Se7en, The Dukes Of Heaven, and Point Break. Another famous model of Chevy used in films was the Chevrolet Camaro, which we have all seen racing around in 2 Fast & 2 Furious, Spring Breaker, and Transformers. 

3. Mercedez Benz In Movies

Mercedes is the ultimate picture of success and entrepreneurship. Whenever filmmakers want to show a wealthy businessman traveling, they often choose a Mercedes-Benz. It’s as if once you become successful, a Mercedes is a must-have in your car collection. The Mercedes-Benz S Class holds the crown for being featured the most in Hollywood, appearing in 758 movies, including 21 Jump Street, The Fate Of The Furious, and The Bourne Identity. Mercedez became one of the characters of the stars who drove it. 

Interesting fact: Mercedes struck a marketing deal after they filmed Agent Jay driving a Mercedes-Benz E500 in Men in Black 2. The car then appeared in many commercials with the Men in Black two theme of saving Earth from aliens. It became a very successful marketing strategy. 

4. BMW in Movies

Well, BMW has also been among the list of most featured cars in the movies with a role in 2417 movies. Filmmakers have featured the BMW Series 3 and 5 the most times. The BMW Series 5 appeared in almost 650 movies, while the Series 3 appeared 641 times. These automotive masterpieces have starred in many recent and popular films, including Fast and Furious 6, Ronin, and James Bond: The World Is Not Enough.

5. Cadillac In Movies 

Well, Cadillac Brand is one of the top choices of directors, due to its versatility and fame. Filmmakers have featured a total of 2,402 Cadillacs in major roles in movies. One of the reasons for this is that General Motors Corp., the manufacturer of Cadillacs, has a partnership with Warner Bros. that gives the world’s largest car manufacturers the first opportunity to provide cars and trucks for the studio’s films. Making it an ideal option for studios to feature a Cadillac in them. 

This supercar brand features famous models like the Cadillac Escalade Extension SUV in The Matrix and the Cadillac Fleetwood, which appears in 331 movies, including The Godfather, Terminator Genisys, and The Muppet Movie.

What is the most known movie car?

Well, without any doubt, the most well-known car in the movie industry is the Aston Martin DB5 in the James Bond Goldfinger. The Bond films made this car so famous that the two are now inseparable. It first appeared in the 1968 Bond film “Goldfinger” and later in its sequel, “Thunderball.” Many Bond movies have featured the car, making it a symbol of the franchise.

The filmmakers modified the car with various gadgets to turn it into a spy car. These included a smoke screen, rotating license plate, delivery system, an oil slick device, and bulletproof back shield. These features made the car even more unforgettable.

In 2020, Aston Martin announced plans to recreate the iconic DB5 Goldfinger version, complete with many of the spy gadgets seen in the film. It remains one of the most famous cars in movie history.

In Brief 

Luxury car brands have been part of the movies or screens since these two came into being. Sometimes, it’s the advertising strategy of the car manufacturers, and other times, it’s the demand of the script. But in both cases, a luxury car enhances the character of a film.
