Title: Lots of Ducs in the movies as of late
Post by: Slide Panda on August 03, 2010, 04:34:36 AM
Just noticed there's an abundance of Ducatis showing up in current films

I saw Inception over the weekend (thumbs up) and there's a Streetfighter in the van chase. There was a preview for the new Wall St that showed a Desmo and SBK. There's also another Duc in the film. We all have seen the Sport Classic in TRON and the Hyper in Knight and Day.

That's a lot of Ducs - anyone else notice?

He's on something in some street scene 2-up with his gal. In the preview it's a quick shot of two bikes, riders in full leathers. One was Definetly a desmo. I'd bet the other was an 1198

The front end almost looks like something NCR would do...

It could be an NCR trackbike

Too much fairing to be an NCR.

'Inception' had a Streetfighter in the rain when they entered Yusuf's dream.

'Wallstreet' has a Streetfighter and a Desmodedici, as well as a Motoczysz.

'Tron Legacy' has a Sport Classic.

'Yes 'Man' has a Hyper.

'Terminator Salvation' used Hypers to built some some robots around.

'Knight and Day' has a Hypermotard, and there was skepticism that they dressed up an Aprilia in Ducati clothing, but that was for an ESPN commercial with a stunt jump that Tom performed.

And 13 year old Chloe Moretz wants a purple Ducati for 'Kick-Ass 2'.

Yep, now I recognize that front end.

Wonder how many of those things are actually in existence...

I wish DNA cared as much about supplying parts to dealers as they do in marketing.

I need to see Inception again. I caught it at the drive in theater and it was too dark to make out the motorcycle clearly.
