Hey!

I have a pretty odd question: Does anyone know movies in which a car isn't able to start? Now the Explanation: I need the sound sample of a car that doesn't start, and it should be from a more or less famous movie to refer to...
Can anyone name me some movie titles???
Thanks in advance!

Back to the Future. The Delorean's Renault-based V6 engine is great in chase scenes, but fails to start when driven a lot. There's also Christine, where the '58 Plymouth Belvedere (or Fury) fails to start in a short scene. You must be the only female on this entire site! welcome!

There was "The Parking Garage" episode of Seinfeld where Kramer's car would not start at the very end. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_132386-Ford-LTD-1983.html

And I haven't seen the movie, but in the book Cujo, the whole reason for the standoff is that the car wouldn't start. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_42685-Ford-Pinto-1977.html

Or in Better Off Dead.. after Lane runs into the "Pig Burger" truck, he cannot get the LTD wagon to start again. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_59512-Ford-LTD-1973.html

The DeLorean scene is quite famous indeed, this is a good example.

There are probably many horror movies where it happens, as it is one of the "clichés" of such movies

In the Rocky Horror Picture show, the County Squire gets a tire blown. Not engine trouble but this happens a lot in movies.

I added this today:

As you can see the fuelpump isn't connected so obviously it doesn't start...

Thank you so much!!!
The back to the future is a very good example!

Thank you!
