9 More Movies Featuring a Porsche
There is a reason everyone wants a Porsche; they are badass. Prominent use in countless movies convinces you of that before you can even drive. We all remember Risky Business, but here are 9 others.
1. 48 Hours
48 Hours was a highly successful flick that introduced Eddie Murphy to the big screen and propelled him to heights that SNL could never achieve. His character, Reggie Hammond, owned a Porsche 356 Speedster, which would indicate he was quite a successful criminal, with taste as well. However, the featured ride was actually a replica built by Classic Motor Carriage.

4. Patriot Games
1992 marks the year when Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones actually worked together on a movie, that being Patriot Games. If you are thinking "What about Star Wars?", you'd be wrong, though wrong in good company. Many people think that, but Ford and Jones never actually met while making the Star Wars saga. This blockbuster hit featured Ford's on-screen wife driving an air cooled Porsche 911 Carrera Targa while being chased down the freeway by the bad guys.

5. Deuce Bigalo, Male Gigolo
Okay, did you really watch this flick, or just make it long enough to catch the sweet silver Boxster that Oded Fehr drives throughout the movie? An argument can be made whether or not the Boxster is worth the pain and suffering of watching the movie that Rotten Tomatoes called "Too dumb to watch". Probably not.

7. Doc Hollywood
In the 1991 movie Doc Hollywood, Michael J. Fox portrays a doctor who drives his sweet 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster cross country. Driving a Speedster cross country should be on just about everyone's bucket list. Don't worry, no actual Porsches were harmed in the making of the movie.

8. Bullitt
It doesn't get much more manlier than the chase scene in Steve McQueen's 1968 hit, Bullitt. The most notable scene in the entire flick is the 10 minute chase scene featuring a Mustang and a Charger. Porsche lovers, however, will never forget his girlfriend in the movie, Jacqueline Bisset, who drove a beautiful bright yellow 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet. This is one movie, you will definitely want to watch again.

9. Beverly Hills Cop 3
So this sequel to the sequel to the original caught no one by surprise when it did not do well in the theater. It marked Eddie's next to last role before becoming a star of kid friendly fare. The saving grace of this flick, just might be the pink 1992 Porsche 968 Cabrio. While "pink" and "Porsche" should rarely be in the same sentence, this sweet ride looked good in the flick.
