Well, I searched for "futuristic anime F1 racing movie", and found a lot of unrelated things and wasted several hours. Fun!
Then I looked for "GAZ Tigr 6x6" and found this thread. I could spend days looking through that, and it's very tempting to do so, Russian military vehicles are so cool.

It reminds me the front of the GAZ Tigr, but I could not find one exactly like that.

-Never thought of Oshkosh, even though the HEMTT is one of my favorite noncombat military vehicles.
-I've heard of the Naked, I just didn't realize I had no idea what it looked like.
-Thought I knew all Vectors, I shouldn't have dismissed that idea so quickly.
-That's something to go on, I thought it was just some random model kit nobody would have ever heard of.
Thank you, that only leaves the Russian thing. There's some writing above the grill, but I can only tell that it's six letters and the first two are "YP":
(I found the red car in the first picture, it's a B engineering Edonis.)

I think it's the curiously named Daihatsu Naked.

Your guess was correct, this is a Vector SRV8.

No clue what this is exactly, but it was the star car in an anime about futuristic F1 racers.

#666 - the British thing - seems to have been an Austin/Morris 2200'Land Crab' at one time ... and the Aussie Coupe with the Scoop is an early Reliant Scimitar.
Thanks!
I messed up the captions though, #666 and the Scimitar are at the same UK car show. Cyclon (the FWD drag car) is the Australian one (note the New South Wales license plate).

Thanks. I was wondering what they were. The movie is set in Iowa, but appears to be shot in South Africa. It's pretty obvious at times, as there's many cars that weren't sold in the US visible and you can see that many of them are right hand drive.
Those ones had me confused though. The movie was released in 1994 and those all appeared to be much older cars which I didn't recognise. I also noticed that they were left hand drive, unlike the majority of the vehicles in the movie.
Nearly all of those cars are flipped over and blown up. There's a good few of them used and they're all similar looking. I thought it was just two models. I wonder why they had all those early to mid 70's American cars in South Africa in 1994? I doubt they imported them specifically for this movie, as if they were importing US police cars you'd expect them to choose a Caprice/Impala, Dodge Diplomat or Ford LTD Crown Victoria which wouldn't look out of place and would probably be quite cheap.

They were probably imported for previous films needing American cars, during the 1970s or 1980s. Perhaps they had been fitted with lightbars for whichever film they were used in first, and the producers of the 1994 film decided to use them and save the cost of dressing more modern models as police cars.
What's the name of the film?

Just a bunch of random pictures I have:
blue Zonda, black Zonda, red Maserati 4200GT, De Tomaso Bigua/Qvale Mangusta, Ferrari 550 or 575?, Lamborghini Murcielago, and... what's the last red thing?
AM General, maybe? It's freakishly huge, anyway.
No idea. Photo taken in northern russia. (this is from englishrussia.com)
From Coop's trip to Japan.
From Australia.
Car show in the UK somewhere. May be too customized to identify.
I'm not good with old stuff like this, it's even harder when they're modified so much. Same car show.
Smackhead from the rear.
It looks like a Vector, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.
Okay, it's not a real car. Really cool though. (I made up the filename, so you won't find anything searching for that)

Well of course, the site can always use more movies and cars!

Perhaps I should add those and more captures to the site here?
