Hopefully everyone was able to find a way to survive this terribly scary Friday the 13th! With so many movies being based around this day and/or concept, it’s time we talked about movies with the best survival vehicle ever, Jeeps! Here is a top 5 list for the greatest appearances of the rugged 4×4 in Hollywood films … Action!
5. Tremors
Sure, underground killer worms have never been this scary before, but one thing you can rely on is for a Jeep to be tough. What better model to put in the movie than a Gladiator!
4. Tomb Raider
When you have a tough explorer that has to fight against the elements and armies, you might as well give her a tough vehicle. That happened in Tomb Raider as Laura Croft is seen driving her Jeep Wrangler like she stole it. Bonus points for whoever decided to make the Wrangler a Rubicon!
3. Twister
Twister is a great movie, no doubt about it, so the only way they could make it better is by adding a Jeep J-10, and that’s exactly what they did! If you’re going to be chasing around killer tornadoes and competing with your long rivals, you really can’t go wrong with a J-10. This truck can do anything, just watch the film and you’ll know. It even has the ability to rekindle a relationship … aaaawwweee!
2. Battle of the Bulge
You had to know that we would include a movie about WWII on this list! The Jeep was designed just for this so it had to make it. Why Battle of the Bulge? There are lots of Jeeps in this movie and as we all know, you can never have too many Jeeps!
1. Jurassic Park
Before you call me biased to dinosaur movies or state that it’s only to draw off of the popularity of director Steven Spielberg, you have to remember one key scene. The electric is off, T-Rex has gotten loose, and you’re in the jungle. Next thing you know, the king of the dinosaurs is chasing you. What do you do? Hop into your Jeep Wrangler and speed away! Crashing through a low-hanging tree and a few sideswipes. This is the kind of scene that makes you want to go off-roading again!
Jeeps are no stranger to the big screen and there are several appearances to choose from. Now you know what movies to watch this weekend! J
