Wolverine movie DOES NOT USE REAL HUMMERS!

[Alex400]

So there is one seen where Wolverine is being chased my the military and there are hummers, but they were not true hummers. I watched it last night and there, "there is something wrong here." they were hummer bodies mounted on what looked like chevy solid axle truck frames with leaf springs. They were wailing on these things pretty hard and seemed to act like they had more power than a normal one would. They probably did it for the sake of more readily available parts and so that they could more easily put a high horsepower motor in it.

It was a little let down. lol

They failed to use real Wolverines also.

Sounds like a "Bummer". You know the fiberglass body you can put on a full size Chevy chassis?

Imagine the movie industry using something less than authentic vehicles!!!
It's kinda like the M43(M37 Ambulance) used in the movie Pearl Harbor. It sure did look good though!
I guess thats why folks that know MV's are always picking apart the movies. My wife hates it when I do that but heck...I enjoy it.

I love NCIS, however in one episode there was a 5 ton cargo that had the M35 mushroom on a reducer mounted on the air cleaner. My wife hates it too when I pick movies apart, but it's so much fun!

Let not forget when indiana jones movies use MV that weren't around yet too.

Did anyone notice the knobby tire on the Harley? Looked like the style tires they put on the military Harleys. I notice stuff like that whenever I watch movies.

I can't believe they didn't use real Humvees, I mean after all, the rest of the movie is so factual and complete reality. Now I don't know if I want to go see Star Trek, Transformers, or that other factual one, Angels & Demons. What is Hollywood thinking? I know what you are saying though, I can't help but critique every single military vehicle, quasi or real for every detail, including period correctness. I find myself driving me crazy sometimes. The vehicles distract me from watching the movie.

The movie was really good. I did'nt really like the last X-Men, too much crap, but this was well done, it explained a lot of how things got started. If you liked any of the three X-Men movies, you'll definitely like this one. It ends where a sequel is without a doubt in the works, but in this case, you'll look forward to it when it comes.

It certainly is a whole lot better than watching the most rediculous movie in a long time where the whole premise is having to watch some a$$ parade around the screen with a blue penus hanging out all the time. I was standing there ready to buy tickets for this POS movie when a fellow walked up and demanded his money back. I should have known right then to steer clear.

Or ever existed like the WW! tank with the WW2 turret, where did that come from? I still like war movies I just have to curb my critizism of their
authenticism, especially when they llist a consultant and don't listen to him.

I have read that in the original Star Wars movie the characters were fake. It was just a bunch of "actors" pretending to be Jedi Knights. Whats next, polititians looking out for themselves and not the good of the country?!

They're Rhino Buggies...

Rhino Buggies - Hummer Replicas - H1 - Gold Coast Australia

Getting Started....
Simply throw away your Nissan Patrol body (or sell it for cash). Line up the pre-drilled holes and bolt on the Hammer replacement body to your chassis. All the mechanicals from your Nissan Patrol including the steering column, pedals, speedometer pod, sun visors, seats and wiring loom will be used when you build your Hammer. Your Hammer comes complete with a build manual, or you can purchase one if you want a thrilling read before you get started (go to accessories to order a manual).

SOCOM has 9 HMMWV's that were converted to solid axle Dana 60's with Turbo 6.5 diesels installed. So in all actuality it could have been Spec Ops HMMWVs. But in reality I agree that it was most likely Bummers.

I thought that was awesome!

 

[jjramrod]

that was the best x men movie of all as far as it being real who cares the point was slicing through the entire side of the vehicle and real or not thats impressive

 

[m16ty]

What kills me is some of the stupid stuff they do in movies when you know they had experts on staff that advise them.

Maybe they were Uban Gorillas? Urban Gorilla 4x4 Bodies :: Home They use to sell hem with used HMMWV hoods but AMG (or GM) made them stop so now they have their own designed.
