Default 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!

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

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.

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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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
