When a director yells, “Lights, cameras, action,” he or she is usually referring to the actors and actresses involved in the scene. But sometimes those instructions are meant for vehicles rather than people.

Some cars have become famous because of their roles on the big screen. Whether you watch films to see the actors or the cars they drive in thrilling chase scenes, here are six cars that rose to fame and prominence in movies. Buckle your seat belts and prepare for the ride…

1. DeLorean DMC-12 – Back to the Future (1985)

Who can forget the DeLorean DMC-12 featured in the Back to the Future movie? The iconic vehicle has gull-wing doors and a stainless-steel body.

If you remember the movie featuring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and other actors and actresses, the iconic car is a time machine that factors into many adventures that continue to delight fans of the cult classic franchise. The DeLorean DMC-12 is definitely one of the most iconic cars introduced to the masses, courtesy of the movies.

2. Ford Mustang GT 390 – Bullitt (1968)

The Ford Mustang is also an iconic car brand. And, to be fair, it would have been a big deal with or without its various roles in different films throughout the decades. The Ford Mustang brand was first introduced at the New York World’s Fair in 1964. While it already had street cred before the Bullitt in 1968, the Ford Mustang GT 390 commands attention on the big screen.

Driven by Steve McQueen, the Mustang reached goat status as far as car chases are concerned. The movie’s San Francisco chase scene is still one of the best in cinematic history.

It’s the sort of vehicle muscle car fans salivate over — and may even dream of adding to their collections. If you have multiple vehicles and want to keep them in showroom condition, rivaling the fine specimens on the big screen, it pays to invest in a fleet maintenance solution. That way, essential maintenance won’t fall between the cracks.

3. Dodge Charger R/T – The Fast and the Furious (2001)

The Fast and the Furious is a movie franchise that focuses on street racing culture and related exploits. The first film in the franchise, which rolled out in 2001, features Dominic Toretto’s black 1970 Dodge Charger.

It’s still among the most recognizable muscle cars ever in movie history. High-speed street races come fast and furious in the cult classic.

4. Aston Martin DB5 – James Bond: Goldfinger (1964)

Would a list of the most iconic movie cars be complete without at least one entry from the James Bond film franchise? Probably not.

In the Goldfinger movie featuring James Bond, the car that arguably steals the show is the Aston Martin DB5. It is the Swiss Army Knife of spy cars with ejector seats, an oil slick dispenser, and machine guns.

The Aston Martin DB5 holds its own as one of the most iconic cars to hit the big screen.

5. Chevrolet Camaro – Transformers (2007)

Few cars symbolize Americana more than the Chevy Camaro. It’s the ultimate muscle car — though fans of the Ford Mustang might agree to disagree or just downright disagree.

In the Transformers movie in 2007, the beloved Autobot named Bumblebee is a Transformer disguised as a Chevrolet Camaro, complete with black racing stripes. It’ became an immediate icon.

6. Ford Falcon XB GT – Mad Max (1979)

Another car that has become famous because of its on-screen exploits is the Ford Falcon XB GT in the Mad Max film in 1979. Operated by Mel Gibson’s Mad Max, the “Pursuit Special” Interceptor is a great example of a post-apocalyptic vehicle.

These are some of the most iconic vehicles that have graced the big screen. If you haven’t watched all of these movies and happen to be a car guy or gal, take the time to check them out. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
