Saw this at the cinema today, so no pictures.
Women in Iran are not allowed to go to football matches in Iran, so various young women dress as men to sneak into the Iran-Bahrain World Cup qualifier -- and get arrested by soldiers, who round them up and hold them in a pen where they can hear (but not see) the game.
SsangYong Musso -- three stars
Fiat minibus -- three stars
There's actually a little bit of a chase.
A middle-aged man is in the Musso, which is going to the stadium because he suspects that his daughter is going to the game. (I can't remember if it's marked as a taxu or if he's just hitched a lift.) When a bus full of football fans passes the bus, he persuades the driver to overtake it and force it to stop, so he can see if his daughter is on the bus. He gets out and the Musso driver promptly drives away.
Mercedes-Benz city bus (O 305 or similar) -- four stars
I'mm pretty sure this was a Mercedes, and would have been built by Iran National/Iran Khodro. It carries another group of fans, including a girl.
Mercedes-Benz O 309 with Iran National badging on the bonnet -- four stars
This is used by the army to carry the arrested girls to the police station, but it doesn't quite work out that way.
And background appearances of:
Paykan (dozens)
SAIPA Saba (Kia Pride saloon/sedan): http://www.globalautoindex.com/maker.plt?no=117&g=SAIPA
Peugeot 405
Peugeot 206
Renault 5 (Pars Khodro Sepand):
