R in the movies !

Last night I watched a movie called Ultraviolet, the story was based on a futuristic sci-fi comic book story, lots of death, blood, and violence, the heroine (a great looking brunet) managed to kill over 700 bad guys !
Anyway, in the beginning there was a nice motorcycle - helicopter chase using a silver R1150R (with white signal lights, sports fairing and the side case hardware installed)...
The R gave the apache chopper a run for it's money, on the road, on the side of buildings, even airborne and through the chopper open side doors !!! it was sad to see the R crash through a wall at the end of the scene (I wonder did they have the cover protectors installed ?)
Yeah I know, a bit far fetched, but the R look soooooo good !!

see, and the bike seen left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought it was cool they used an R but the whole sequence was badly green-screened and you could tell she wasn't moving when she was on the bike.
Anyway, Milla Jovovich is pretty hott so it can make up for some bad parts.

I found the Rockster chase in the film Paycheck a bit more fun. Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman.
The plot wasn't anything much though....

You want to talk about plot? I just rented Ultraviolet to see the chase scene; what a piece of crap. I watched all of 15 minutes of it. The movie is 88 minutes long, 85 more then it need be.

I like to think BMW didn't pay product placement and they actually choose the R because it was cool...
YES! SILVER RULES

It would be a little odd to pay product placement for a model that is being discontinued/updated.
BUT,
Silver is good.

Thanks for saving me the rental fee for that movie. I was going to rent it just for the fact that it had a silver roadster in it.
Silver is the ultimate color for an R!

The movie is not worth renting, the only reason I watched it was that I got it for free !!!
I'm planning to rip the chase scene with the R, I'll make it available for download...

I just saw this movie on the Action movie channel. Stunning special effects, but a story line that was weak. But the bike! Oh my!!!
(but they used inline 4 sound effects..)

Some magic vortex jumping/crystal ball/communication orb, that also makes the R ride up buildings. Twisted Throttle sells them.
