This movie starred Loki, Scar, and a guy we all thought was Oberyn Martell...until it turned out to be Bard the Bowman.

But to a gearhead like me, an unsung star of the movie was the lot full of 70s-era European DDs in wonderful muted shades of green, blue, and gold.

Sadly, the lot of cars would, like the towers they service, gradually deteriorate.

This movie starred Loki, Scar...

I was like "Dogma," "The Lion King," and then you just lost me completely.

Why is there what appears to be a Saab 95 backside on what appears to otherwise be a Renault 5, over on the left?

That looks weird indeed, and it’s on the right too. It looks like they just flipped a part of the parking lot, and recoloured the cars. The ones on the other row look a bit off too. Maybe it’s largly CGI, and they changed the Renault 5 because it looked too new?

In other words, you haven’t watched any movies since the 90s?

Put another way, 80% of all movies I've ever seen were made in the 90s. That feels weird to think about...

O_O I just noticed that! I was wondering how a shoestring budget indie movie got all those pristine cars.

In this scene, the BRG Mini is chasing the Stag to the spot next to the olive W123.

That sounds like a cool chase. xD

I think the Mercedes-Benz is a W116 though, as it looks a bit too big for a W123 and the front matches up better.
