I was more curious about that light bar on the back of the boat. I watched the movie a couple of times and I thought the blue and amber combination looked kind of neat.

CopLite might have a website but I doubt it's current... The most recent picture is of a 1991 Caprice ! :undecided:

Did anyone else who watched the movie clip notice Willis wears his seat belt in some parts of the scene and not in others? Also, after hastily throwing the red light on the roof, you never see any power cords hanging down in the way.
Hollywood... Where a girl cop can carry a 5 pound, uniform full size Beretta AND it doesn't show under her designer tight jacket. Oh, she can also outrun a dope addict in her high heels, without breaking a sweat.
What do you expect.... :huh:
Director: I don't care if it is daytime. We rented cars with lights, and I want them all on!
Jurassic World - Mobile vet lab for dinosaurs!
I had the exact same 89 Caprice on the job. Great car (sigh)
How the heck does Bruce manage to keep the wheel covers on driving like that ? :huh: I would lose one at least once a month !

New cop TV show, Aquarius. David Duchovny is a LAPD detective chasing Charles Manson. In this clip of a new episode, Crime is Changing, he gets out of his old Plymouth that has a Model 15 as a throw light:

We have parking staff who do this during details. "Time to direct traffic, hit every switch you can find"Hebbie Jeebies.jpg

There are guys at my other job that do this ALL THE TIME. Granted, we do traffic control for the KY Highway Dept. and various utility companies and are typically in the road. it just kills me when they leave all the lights on regardless of the direction in which traffic is flowing. I almost always limit my lights to rear only with TA, and my amber dashlight. I use my personal vehicle (A former KSP CVPI) while they use company trucks with mag mounted lights and strobes.
Actually that's a Maxim from Premier Hazard. The Star is more of a square shape that doesn't have separate endcaps on the domes. They're a British outfit with a lot of shared products with Code 3. I'm aware of exactly one example of such a bar used in the States, and it doesn't look to be from a particularly wealthy place. I'm pretty sure they were widely used in the 90's in the UK.

(I hear this in my high school coach's voice) "PEOPLE! Get a shorter bar or a wider vehicle!
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Pursuit of UFOs, PD cars have what looks like Yankee 4 bulb beacon, Roy's utility truck has a Model 14?

Later on there are two MP vans with blue Model 14s on the roof.....

PD cars have the Signal Stat 374 beacons with generic lolli's in the rear, and Roy's truck has a Tripp Lite RF-6 beacon.
You gotta love the triple Visibars!
That Dodge van with the triple VisiBars has really made its rounds in movie and TV. I like the Chevy van.
Tech One- That doesn't look quite right with two bars...You gotta love the triple Visibars!
Tech Two- Maybe we should take one off.
Supervisor- Just add a third one in the middle.

Stripes... Bill Murray and Harold Ramis are fighting in the armor lager. MP jeep pulls up, has a fast spinning Model 14 and a blinking blue light, Unity? Scene shows them wrestling on the ground, and the light now looks like a Mars light sweeping back and forth.
Later, at the bar fight, same jeep, Kawa 1000 police bike with steady burn reds, and a MP wagon with sealed beam rotators.

The Junkman, 1982. Not a terrible movie, ALOT of crashing, fire and explosions. CHP Z28s and Trans Ams are my favorite (all second gen GM F body cars, especially after 1974 are my favorite)
Just a sample below, there's quite a few more in there. Plus some really cool *regular* cars ( http://imcdb.org/movie.php?id=84184 )
