I spied this tasty XK8/R while watching Horrible Bosses. It's driven by the first 'hitman' the protagonists try to find. So, does it belong to anyone on here?

 

Don't know but sure Rev Sam will make a comment about the nice Apollo wheels.

 

Horrible Bosses ..must look that one up

 

LOL! I was just about to do that, then I saw your comment.

 

It was driven by that GAY meeting up in the hotel room.
So it is not a good publicity for the car

 

I can see why they went with a black coupé, sexy, classy, slightly intimidating, etc. But why choose one with those strange wheels?

 

I noticed this when I saw the movie in the theatre but didn't want to be the first one on the forum to associate one of our lovely cars with the, ahem, "wetwork" guy.

 

just finished GETTING a copy of the film ..off to bed to watch it and look for the xkr

 

I am proud to say that before watching the movie, I had no idea what 'wetwork' was.

 

I haven't seen the movie, but have I heard this conversation right? The ASSASSIN happens to sleep with other men, and you chose GAY as the most problematic character trait to associate with our cars.

Some of us just might take offense at that.

 

That's funny, I just watched that movie the other day....it was pretty horrible, no pun intended

 

watched it last night ..good movie..like MF best

 

Well I hadn't heard it used in that context before

 

If you watch that scene, you will see the car was picked for its irony since the "assassin" the guys hired turns out to be a perv/fetish (and yes, gay) prostitute. If they had him show up say, in a Prius, he would not look like an assassin or james bond kind of character, so the fact he later turns out to be gay wouldn't be as much of a shocker. But gay or straight, the scene is not exactly a flattering endorsement for coupe drivers.

 

he should have had a pink xk with chintz blinds

 

I thought the movie was great, definitely not for everyone... the hotel scene was hilarious.
