With his filmography, the experienced actor transports us to the classic vehicles that his most iconic characters turned into legends. Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford and more. With which of the five do you feel most identified? Details and images below.
Accumulating more than fifty years being a name of reference for young acting enthusiasts is only for the chosen ones. Al Pacino not only complies with the premise, but through his famous leading roles and in certain scenes, he managed to catapult punctual car models to posterity.
Countless classic cars invade his most acclaimed films. Vehicles are the resource that guarantees the setting of a plot and the filmography of the New Yorker is full of luxurious convertibles and coupés that correspond to the time of each story. This time I bring you five of the cars that best represent its most popular characters:
1. Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 1947
Just a couple of scenes were enough for the Roman actress Simonetta Stefanelli to immortalize her name in the history of cinema. apolloniahis character in The Godfatheris one of the most mysterious of the trilogy because of the little that is revealed about it and because of its tragic end when it exploded inside a Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d’oro model 1947 in the face of Michael Corleone.
2. Mercury Montclair 1957
In The Godfather Part II, Mike Corleone travels to Cuba in full social explosion. There, already with Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) between his eyebrows, he is transported through the hectic streets of Havana in a Green 1957 Mercury Montclair. After experiencing the Revolution firsthand, the legendary character of Al Pacino shines with one of his most unforgettable lines from the script: “Cops get paid to fight, rebels don’t.”
3. 1983 Ford Country
The image you just saw is neither more nor less than the scene of Scarface which perfectly describes the concept of suspense: we all know that the journalist willing to reveal criminal secrets involving Tony Montana is about to have a bomb explode in his car. The question is whether the detonator that goes on board the 1983 Ford LTD Country Squire will accomplish your goal.
4.Ferrari Mondial 1989
Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade and one of his follies in New York City. For Scent of a woman, the Big Apple was the location of the appreciation scene for Ferrari models in the late 1980s. The Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet 1989 Due to its evolution and persistence in the market, it is one of the Ferraris with less recognition than it deserves. Through his film, Martin Brest does justice.
5. Cadillac Series 62
Tell “Cadillac Series 62” and “Tony Montana” is pretty much the same thing. The iconic American convertible, with its yellow bodywork and white canvas roof, represents Brian De Palma’s essential film like no other vehicle.
Choosing only five sounds absurd, since the career of Al Pacino was forged by surrounding himself with directors who made their feature films the perfect deposit to immortalize classics, the vast majority of them American, beyond their qualities and brand legacies. Is there one that deserves in your opinion to be part of this list?
