Movie with a Mooney 201 in it

[201er]

I recently stumbled across a movie that had a familiar looking airplane on the cover. On closer inspection, I was sure it was a Mooney. I watched the trailer and the Mooney flashed in it a few times so I figured, what the heck I'll rent it, if the movie sucks, at least it will be fun to see a Mooney. The movie was alright and the Mooney got a lot of air time.

 

Here's the trailer, can you spot the Mooney?

 

And here's my compilation of all the hot Mooney action:

Fun Mike.  Also a Mooney is featured in the opening 4 seconds of the 2012 K pop hit Gangnam style.

There is an old B& W film, I think called "I Eat Your Skin".  Was on YouTube, might still be.  They fly out to the uncharted zombie island in a Mooney.

Flighaware shows this as a BE58, so it's likely that the Mooney is no more.  Lost on the beach?

There is a M20c near the beginning of the movie Fail Safe from 1964 I think. The general flies to work in it.

I take it back, you had the right tail number.

James Bond. Live and Let Die.

Don't forget the Mooney cameo in Kevin Bacon's "The Darkness".

Was watching "American Greed" tonight, which was about Stewart Parnell and his peanut butter business that wound up creating one of the biggest salmonella outbreaks in the country.  As an example of Mr. Parnell's ostentatious lifestyle they noted that he had a "Mooney M20" airplane.

Well, it's famous now.

Dang I thought I was the only one that listened to that song and knew that

Catch any other Mooneys in a movie since?

Best Friends animal rescue had a Mooney that would transport dogs to the Utah facility.  It appeared often in the National Geographic TV series

well not a Mooney but my hangar was in an episode foe NCIS New Orleans.  My Mooney was inside the hangar so I guess my Mooney was in the show.

 

I guess my hangar didn't look nasty enough the painted rust on it to make it look worse.  Anyone wanting autographs I plan on being available at the next Mooney Summit.

Resurrecting this old thread because we watched an Elvira Mistress of the Dark send-up last night with the feature being I Eat Your Skin.  Camp zombie flick.  The airplane that plays a part in the plot is a Vintage Mooney, looks like an M20C model to me.  It meets a sad demise when a zombie carrying a box of explosives walks into the spinning prop and blows everything up!

My old F Mooney was so close to being in a movie. My ex wife's brother lived in Napa CA and we went over to visit him. I was parked at the Napa airport and there was obviously a movie being shot. I asked one of the crew what it was and they just gave me the brush off. 

It turns out it was the remake of The Parent Trap. In the scene where the plane lands and taxis in, if they would have panned one plane to the right my Mooney would be immortal!

There’s a J (somewhat recognizable among the formation group) that is in season 3 of the Amazon detective procedural Bosch - sitting on the ramp at WHP.
