Spot the Ninja 250 - Movie / TV Edition
I was watching TV yesterday and caught a 250 in one of my shows. So I thought I would post up and see if anyone else can spot a 250 (or just a ninja if we cant name alot) in any movies or shows.
The Shield - Season 4 Episode: Riceburner. The drug dealer (Freebo) is riding a yellow Pregen Ninja 250 with a fender eliminator. You can see the back of it when he gets arrested by Vic and Lem. The funny part is throughout the episode everyone says he rides a "loud ass" riceburner. * I'll try to get a screenshot of it. The New Ben 10 Movie - Was watching my neighbors kids and saw 2 2008+ Ninja 250s in the commerical for the movie. ---- Terminator 2 - When John gets parks his bike at the mall, he parks it next to a Ninja 500 (red - i believe) Any others? |

True Lies - In the chase scene in the city when Arnold is on horseback, the guy he is chasing is on a Ninja 500. And the way it sounded in the movie it did NOT sound stock lol.

Dark Angel - Apparently Jessica Alba couldn't handle a full tilt zzr600, so the bike they used in the show was a modified zzr250.
The almighty Jessica Alba used to ride a ninja 250. And that right there is why the pregen > new gen (j/k...sorta) |

Not a movie or tv show, but Modern Warfare 2. The first Brazil level is littered with very Kawi-centric bikes. I blew a perfect level when I saw it.

Kill Bill.
The bike ridden by Uma Thurman was a yellow Ninja ZZR250 (like mine). Last futzed with by Anthony_marr; January 12th, 2010 at 11:36 AM. |

Ooooh, I forgot about that one. Now is that a 250 or a 750? I ask because they both had the same look at one time and the 750 would be the most logical since the ZX-2R never made it to the States.

I watched Kill Bill last week and I kept saying to myself that her bike looked like a pregen 250. That's what I'm talking about.

Look at the tie-down straps holding the bike to the trailer. That scene is hotly debated because his fist was chopped off in the original theatrical aspect ratio but was visible in the expanded 4:3 version (they didn't just pan and scan within the wider frame to make the academy aspect home video/TV versions). When they released it on HD-DVD, people said that it was a framing error like the Pirates of the Caribbean Blu-Ray, but it wasn't. It touched off an argument between purists and others aboutwhic was more "correct." I wonder if anyone arguing about the "vidible fist" version noticed that it "broke" something else by revealing the tie-down straps? I only know because someone on Kawiforums noticed it. Anyone notice how similar the mirrors look to the current-gen? |

That is a 1985 model. In 1984 the ZX900 was only available in Red/Grey. I know because the 1984 model was the my first motorcycle I ever bought brand NEW. Yup, I was cool before Tom Cruise!

I just figure that he was "shifting" (also in quotes )... after all, he was notoriously pumping that hand in a fist a moment later, which was supposedly improvisation.
My theory? He was bored, thus, over-acting, and all because he wasn't *really* riding. That's why the framing cut it off in the original theatrical aspect ratio... they weren't expecting it. |

Ninjette spotted on TV!
The new Canadian series "Republic of Doyle" just started back up for the second season S02E01 was aired Wednesday and a chick takes off on a ninjette in it!
Knew it was a Ninjette right away, they showed a shot of the exhaust - pretty unique Lousy episode compared to last season, but there's a motorbike! (If someone else posted this already I apologize) |

I think it was one of the Mission Impossible movies he did his own motorcycle riding, at least part of it. I'm not a fan of his, either, but he does choose fun movies.
And yes, I'm sure ease of filming is why the bike's on a trailer. Much easier to control things that way. (Also, is he holding the clutch in?) |

"Spot the bike" is one time I love our TiVo- pause it, get a *good* look at it, see if we can pick out the model. Fun game.

For others who also haven't seen Top Gun in 20+ years, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2eoBWZp64s has the runway clip right at the beginning. He's not holding the clutch in the whole time, he just pulls it momentarily, as if he's shifting (though it seems a bit exaggerated). Also, when he sits up and does the fist pump thing, you can actually see the far side of the trailer between his body and the tank. That seems to match up with the idea that it was an unexpected improvisation.
I haven't seen it, but apparently he's upgraded to the H2 for this year's Top Gun: Maverick. https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/cl...n-new-top-gun/

And he may have done his own riding, at least on some of it. No helmet, zoomed out camera so you can see the pavement under the bike as well as his face. Enjoyed the new Top Gun movie.
