Another Movie To Star A Scooter

[King Vino]

The new Britt flick, Alfie debuts soon with a staring role, an old classic Vespa. Looks like the lead is a modern Mod, with his tailored suits, sorry guys, but plastic Jpn scooters just aren't chic enoguh for the real mods :p

[Zuma88]

when are they going to put newer scooters in movies other then gay @$$ kiddie move's that is what i would like to know

[King Vino]

Don't hold your breath on seeing that anytime soon.

[scooterconvert]

That TV show "Scrubs" has a TNG Venice in it regularly.

[King Vino]

Guess that's better than a Geely :D

[mrklaw]

They actually wanted Vespas but Piaggio gave them a hard time with tons of rules, so they switched to TNG at the last minute.

[Zuma88]

they need to have some honda elite S's or SR's stroker out 125cc and water cooled in the moves

[isoscelesjones]

I don't think we'll see Ahnold shouting "Come on! Get to de scootah!" in a movie anytime soon.

[Zuma88]

lol yea. "its time to scoot you up"

"Ill be scootin"
Austa'la scooter baby" lol okay thats just wierd

Yeah, thought you, jered and Lennox would like that, LOL. Now I bet Arnold would ride a HummV-scooter.

Second look, a better look revealed that he was not riding a Vespa, but a Lambretta. Notice the scooter was tu-tone. Looked like an LD though it could've been a GP. The first look I only side the top side of the leg shield and it looked like it was a solid dark blue, but later in another commercial it was a lighter blue with black tu-tone. Maybe there are several scooters.

SIDENOTE: Mark, it's not really a mod only read function, I just use it as such, the reason for the soft delete is so it can be undeleted at a later date after review. LOL.

Are you still talking about Alfie?

In interviews (http://www.handbag.com/gossip/celebrityinterviews/judealfie3/), Jude Law refers to it as a Vespa.

'I loved that Vespa - even though I couldn't get it to start sometimes,' he recalls. 'It was so much fun to ride. When we started filming they asked me, "Do you want a helmet?" and I said no. No way. That made it even more fun. I loved the clothes, too. I managed to keep a couple of outfits.'

The sfgate.com (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/a/2004/10/24/PKGIJ7PJ2N1.DTL) also talks about Piaggio's relationship with Paramount for the making of Alfie.

In one scene there was him on a Vespa, but in several others, it was clearly a Lambretta. Remember people use the term "Vespa" like "Cleanex" or "Xerox"

[isoscelesjones]

cleanex? kleenex?

Anybody catch the "Monster Nation" last night? they had a segment on scootin' - they covered a rally in cali. Lotsa vespa vespas and lambretta vespas, zuma vespas and vino vespas. ;)

It made me yearn for sunny days and warmer climates.

[mrklaw]

I caught 4 or 5 episodes on my Tivo. I hope I got that one.

[King Vino]

The Monster series kicks. LOL, as I was typings this they played the Alfie commercial, in one segment they showed the Vespa and the other was him on the Lammy, LOL.

[XPS1210]

well... it's not a movie... but it's a commercial...

Microsoft and the hat drawing commercial...

has I think a stella or one of those older looking metal scooters in it...

Kinda cool that microsoft used one in their advertisements...

[Davey-boi]

Just watched Alfie and all he rides is a vespa. The reason you might have thought it was a lammy is cuz of the paint job. Good movie non the less, makes me wanna go out and by a gucci suit for riding on my scoot. Gotta luv the mod style.
