What kind of car in tommy boy

The production company used multiple Plymouth convertible GTXs. Actually, it even used a full-size Plymouth convertible for the deer scene. Mecum, who is auctioning this one-off, says this is one of the stunt cars used the most in the filming. As such, it is also the most abused of the bunch. And there is still more clarification necessary.

It is a real Plymouth convertible, but it is a Satellite. Another cringe-worthy moment for car lovers comes during the highway scene, where the hood of the Plymouth comes unhinged and covers the windshield before eventually being torn off altogether. Though there are many examples, these two scenes, in particular, seem to be the more fondly remembered by fans.

So, after having gone through such abuse, what happened to the car after filming? Was it bought by a collector and lovingly refurbished? Or was it scrapped in a junky yard for being beyond repair? While both outcomes are certainly plausible, there are unfortunately no credible sources that can confirm or deny either of them. However, there might be a reason for this.

In a Redbox interview with director Peter Segal about the film , it's revealed that four identical cars were made for the production. Therefore, the lack of information about one might be muddled because of the other three. Although, this isn't entirely true. Since the film was primarily shot in Toronto, Canada, the two had to fly back and forth between Toronto and New York to film the movie and rehearse and perform the sketch-show on the weekend.

One of the most memorable scenes in Tommy Boy comes when Tommy uses his slapstick charm to convince a waitress to open the kitchen so he can order chicken wings. That waitress was almost played by a famous sitcom star.

While she was apparently interested in playing the role, Barr had to decline due to a scheduling snafu that prevented her from appearing in the movie. One of the running-gags in Tommy Boy is the way Richard's pristine car gets slowly destroyed throughout the film. When the car is ripped apart by the deer they assumed was dead, the car model is temporarily changed for one key shot.

Once the deer destroys the car and is seen standing on top of the vehicle, the car is no longer a '67 GTX. Instead, the car is a Chrysler Newport. In addition to body contours, both vehicles have drastically different tail-light designs. Chris Farley's brother and fellow actor Kevin Farley makes a cameo appearance during the wedding ceremony at the beginning of Tommy Boy.

Kevin Farley can be spotted sitting across the table from Tommy on his left side when Big Tommy calls his son up to the stage to sing a duet.

More random factoids of interest went down while making Tommy Boy. For instance, Christian Slater was considered for the role of Richard Hayden.
