The BMW R1150R on the silver screen again

Post by **Photo** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 3:51 am

I checked out the trailer for the latest Milla Jovovich film "UltraViolet" today. What did I see? (besides Milla's bare belly in every action scene) A BMW R1150R! She was doing stunts on it that may remind you of that other special motorcycle movie, "Torque".

the trailer:

I'm just curious - for the movie buffs on this board, how many other motion pictures have had the R1150R in them?

I remember Ben Affleck riding a Rockster through a window in "Paycheck", but are there any others (in any country)?

I believe one was ridden by a womean in a Johny Depp film a few years ago, where he was dealing with Satan, the name escapes me at the moment! (Seventh Gate?)

One was in an episode of CSI Las Vegas a couple of years ago.

The CSI episode aired again just a few weeks ago. It was a lovely lady riding it off after having a talk with Kathryn. Kathryn made the remark, "Nice bike!"

It's not a Roadster but Jack McCoy, played by Sam Waterston, rides an older beemer in a couple of episodes of Law & Order. Well, maybe not riding, but getting off, putting on helmet beside it, etc.

wncbmw, that was The Ninth Gate. I knew it was a BMW twin, but I never got a close enough look to say what model.

Interesting, I've had a bunch of people compliment the bike on having a futuristic look. Now here it is (stock) in a movie set in the future. I think the silver color has something to do with it.

Damn, that movie Ultraviolet looks AWESOME!!! I don't care if it's Oscar winning material, I must watch it. Milla Jojovich, guns, knives, swords, explosions, and a BMW flat twin on top of it. What more can you ask for?

I think there might be one in Equilibrium.

Very cool. I've always like Milla, especially in The Fifth Element. Silver RR's are at the top of the list....

...right under Black!

There's also a Chinese action/adventure/superhero type movie called Silverhawk that featured a silver F650CS.

It was a bad movie, but Michelle Yeoh was showing her shapely legs plus the Scarver was armed with rockets and stuff, plus doing wheelies all over the place. How can you not watch it?

They should have replaced the mirrors on the bike. Looks like a cool movie.

wncbmw, that was The Ninth Gate

I was only off 2!

Of course, if dealing with the Devil, 2 might make a difference!

I spotted one in an episode of the British cop show "The Bill"

Sure glad Milla returned my silver RR to the garage after she was done...

Not quite in the movie, but does it count if several BMW models are featured at the 'Premier' of the movie Silverhawk (which someone else mentioned earlier)?? Of course, the 'Silver' R1150R was duly represented too

I didnt read all the replays to this post but there is a R1150R passing a car in a current commerical. Looks like a Rockster.

I saw the 1150R on the trailer and just did some google searches for it. This was one of the sites... http://movies.about.com/od/ultraviolet/ ... 250614.htm
