The Highwaymen Movie
 

Have you guys seen "The Highwaymen" yet? It's a new movie that came out late last month. If you have a Netflix subscription I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching it.

The film stars Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson who play Texas rangers on the hunt for Bonnie and Clyde. Predictably, there's LOTS of great Ford-V8 action, including a beautiful black '34 Fordor sedan that the two protagonists spend much of their time in. Check it out if you get a chance. It's a bit of a slow burn, but well worth it for the car spotting!

How does it end?

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

They die in an ambush just like the true story. You Tube has videos and pictures. Car is in Primm, Nevada (Near Stateline) on display in a casino there complete with hundreds bullet holes.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

Are you sure that one is "the car"? There are a number of "clones" around!

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

I watched and thought it was a lot better than most of the things on TV nowdays. I'm waiting for the experts to tell us more about the cars because they are way before my time and I don't know that much about them as far as correct or not. Would like to learn.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

The ambush was filmed in the exact location. as the real one, the car seens were really good.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

Great movie! Just something I noticed was that most of the cars used were deluxe models. I know it’s probably nit-picky, but I would think there were probably more standard cars around than deluxe in 1934?

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

Hey if you are gonna steal a '34, why not grab a Deluxe? It was one of the fastest cars on the road in 1934!

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

No not sure but a casino can afford the real deal.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

Where is the James Dean death car? Nobody knows what happened to it. They know where the drive train went but not the car. Disappeared from a closed trailer on the way to Texas.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

I saw the “Godfather” caddy years ago. I saw on Hagerty Barn find video someone still has it.


Looking forward to it Phil.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

Good movie given from the opposite perspective compared to most Bonnie and Clyde movies. The 33 door pulls on all four doors of the 1934 ford in the movie drive me nuts for some reason.

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

I agree , I like the ash tray radio that woody talked about

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
 

I'd "guess" that most cars that are available to be used in a movie made today are restored... No surprise there is a lot of deluxe models.

Ya it was funny how woody (as an actor/character), once he/character learned that they can do wire taps" kept using it like he thought of it.

I like just about every Kevin Costner movie. well... most anyway. This one was great.

I noticed the wood grain ashtray radio dial in the plain dash. Also the wipers are modern replacements . Still a fantastic movie

Re: The Highwaymen Movie
