It was a 25th anniversary edition. And I say was because they actually wrecked the real car for the movie (instead of using a replica). Such a shame...
I love that site. I first found it when I googled a license plate from an IT Crowd episode, which led me to another movie (love and other disasters) where the exact same car was used:
I'm wondering where all these props end up after movie is done. There is so many things usually get created from costumes to props even in average movie which usually get disappear. Wouldn't it be good startup that works with producers to collect all these material and puts in some online shop? It doesn't have to be for fans for specific movie. For example, if I wanted shoes, I can just look up that website to see if anything used in movie is available in my size. It reduces burden of finding cool stuff on customer part.
Wow, this is great (and very comprehensive). I remember being really intrigued years ago when I stumbled on "The Cars of Tintin" [1] (one of my favourite comics as a kid). The vehicles in Tintin were beautifully drawn and the attention to detail was exquisite.
Someone also did a "Planes of Tintin" [2].
I wonder if anyone has done "Internet movie plane database"? If so, I hope someone can post a good link as an appendix to the OP...
One of the cars my family owns. (We've had a few old cars over the years appear in TV series or background of movie shots; never managed to land a "hero car" role for any of them.) Only one made the database, which was surprising to me that it made it as it was a background shot, not at all critical to the movie.
Are the DMV records public in many states? It seems like you could feed a corpus of video into a license plate scanning algorithm and lookup make/model from DMV records, if available. Presumably, that would be more accurate than trying to recognize the vehicle from appearance (either manually or using machine learning).
Movies are often shot on private lots. There is no requirement that a vehicle actually be registered and be using a real valid license plate unless it is driven on public roads. (at least in the US)
I would be curious if that database is public, though.

Crazy to see that there are custom made guns in movies, like this one:

For images like this one, make a submit/suggest/correct button, without having to register. I don't see the BMW 7 and Peugeot 406 mentioned.
The BMW is mentioned in another frame for that movie: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_455078-L-anniversaire.html

I used to contribute to the 'mystery planes identification parade', I really should make time again to do so.

Not sure if you'll see a Plymouth RoadRunner Superbird there though...
And if it is computer vision, how did they get the footage?

Friend of mine worked on it and it was featured briefly in True Blood - http://thethrottle.com/2010/08/06/what-does-true-bloods-lafa...
Will try to add it if it really doesn't exist.
