Fox Cougar and Thunderbird movie sightings... (Updated 2/23/15)

I was watching the movie Over The Top tonight (not sure why...) but I saw a black four eyed Cougar and a red four eyed Thunderbird.

Sorry for the py pictures.

I always pay close attention to any movie from the 80s, I love seeing our cars when they were new.

Bumping this up because I found a few more...

In The Thomas Crowne Affair with Pierce Brosnan, there is a scene with an 83-86 Cougar (in traffic) and an 87-88 Cougar (parked)

In the movie Black Dog (I know it's listed on the Coolcats page) I looks to me like there are actually two Cougars used in the scene with the car hauler.  There is the one listed on the Coolcats page...



But before the truck is wrecked it appears to have 83-84 taillights...



There is also a gold Thunderbird in the beginning scene with the Fox Mustangs.
