Here are Three (count 'em, 3) "Busses in the Movies" not mentioned on
Vanagon.Com

#1) RONIN - A movie that mostly consists of car chases in the narrow streets
of small towns in France, the movie's first 10 minutes however, has all the
protagonists riding in a Bay-Window Bus right after they leave the cafe...

#2) In the George Clooney film THE PEACEMAKER (1997), in the middle of the
movie, there's a brief shot of a swat-type team pulling up to a desert camp
in a Vanagon...

#3) "Prison Heat" Yes, this is one of those R-rated women-in-prison films
with far too many shower scenes (honest honey, I'm watching it for the
Vanagon content!). Anyhow, the girls eventually escape the torturous prison
in the last 15 minutes in a '86 or '87 Vanagon with a really cool front
bumper (Projectzwo?) that allows them to crash right through several guard
gates.

And actually, I don't remember if vanagon.com lists the episode of the TV
series "Sliders" where the heroes escape the police in a Vanagon (and the
Police can't keep up.. oh yeah, this is Sci-fi after all!)...

Oh yeah, and I can't remember if the 23-window Samba that gets completely
flattened in "What's Up Doc"? is also listed...

So maybe there's more than 3 mentions here, but it is Friday, so what the
heck.
