Manta Manta. A film, soley based around manta's. With a budget of about 59pf (thats Pfennig's to you uncultured types... or those of you who arn't Tom ;)) it still manages to be super awesome :D

I only managed 1 300 spot, but it is shown twice. And a PV pickup I think??!

Ah yes, a classic trashy German film :-) produced by the recently deceased Bernd Eichinger (The name of the Rose, Resident Evil, The Downfall). There are some great haircuts and clothes to be seen too - makes the nineties feel like a long long time ago now ...

Cheers

Awesome awesome! I spent half my night yesterday watching it. I thought, hmm let's check V3M real quick before going to sleep. Thanks. :lol:

I spotted 2 V300's. 1 on the corner of the street when the blue Manta is chased by the Ferrari, 1 (I think, not sure) in the beginning when the red Mercedes is trying to pass the Manta's blocking the highway.

edit: wrong, other Volvo :( Only 1 then :lol:
