WELCOME TO:
HOLLYWOOD HOT WHEELS: ROUND 02
The second bend on our race through the history of the industries most recognisable vehicles covering all manners of iconic designs from film, tv and gaming, their history and what you think of them.
Each round will see three vehicles lined up for the showcase. Unlike the voting conducted in the other threads, here things are more cutthroat.
You each can only vote for a single design in each round, casting the other two to the scrapheap of Hollywood history.
Make your choice then tell us why you like or don't like each vehicle and why you voted for the one you did.
VEHICLE 004 - General Lee
Instantly recognisable without even catching sight of it, you just need to hear that famous horn. The General Lee had welded doors meaning the Dukes boys had to climb through the open windows and amazingly several hundred of them were used during the making of the show with as few as 17 still remaining today. The very first of all of them still exists today but following the backlash over the Confederate Flag its owner has painted off the flag on the cars rooftop.
Is this one your Round Two choice and if anyone disagrees would you tell them to put up their Dukes?
VEHICLE 005 - Airwolf
An advanced prototype stealth helicopter, the chopper is first stolen and used in assaults in Libya but is then recovered and operated from a secret base by Archangel and Stringfellow Hawke. The helicopter is the most consistent element in the show despite a growing reliance on stock footage as the fourth season opened by killing off or writing out, to darker fates, the original cast and bringing in a new one for one run. A Bell 222 helicopter dressed up for the part, the original was stripped down after the first three seasons ended and converted to an air ambulance. It's Airwolf parts are now owned by a private collector whilst the helicopter itself crashed in fog in the 90's. A full size replica was later produced and passed several hands to where it sits now, on the roof of a Bel Air home.
A Wolf or a Sheep?
VEHICLE 006 - Mutts Cuts Van
A juiced up Ford Ecoline van, Dumb and Dumber saw it covered in fur and spawning its own fanbase. Two were made for the film but only one used in the end, this one being in a car museum now. It's appearance literally is the main star of the show with its big nose, hanging tongue and flappy ears.
But, is it better than the other two options this round?
Which is the ultimate Hollywood Hot Wheel?
