MN 12s in Movies

I just noticed that there is a 1993 (I believe) T-Bird in the movie Memento as the main character leaves his hotel. I then remembered there was one driven by the detective (Johnny Depp) in City of Lies (2020).

This lead me to find this website that some might find interesting which is a database of cars in movies. This link sorted by Thunderbirds of all years:


There are actually quite a few MN 12s in movies that I didn't know about. I'm not seeing any Super Coupes though.

Anyone know of a SC in any film?
 
I'm positive Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has an MN12, and I'm pretty sure it's an SC.

I remember an episode of 21 Jump St. with an 89 Thunderbird LX that I'm sure Ford provided for the show. Richard Grieco's character was gushing over how great it was. Awkward product placement.
 
I think there is a lx or 2 in die hard with a vengeance, cougar in a parking lot in us marshals at the beginning when looking through the tow truck right before it flips. Also, probably one of the best scenes was with a black lx in Jade.
 
There is an LX bird in the shootout scene in Heat, and there is a chase with a black 91-93 5.0 bird in the movie Jade.
 
The 1992 LX in Jade is probably the best MN12 in a movie (just the chase, never watched the rest of the movie).
During the car chase of Hollywood Homicide, I remember seeing the same MN12 as a background car over and over. I think there were 2 different MN12s that could be seen during that chase.
 
The only 2 cents I can add is a knock-off 10th gen Tbird was in Grand Theft Auto 4 as the Vapid Fortune, then the first gen Tbird was later present in GTA 5 as the Vapid Peyote. I'm hoping the SC can make an appearance in GTA 6 whenever that comes out, especially with it being based in pseudo-Miami. The vehicle artists at Rockstar Games seem to have a thing for 80s and 90s cars as of late.

The best one I've seen in a movie was in the action comedy movie "A Low Down Dirty Shame" starring Jada Pinkett Smith (yes Will Smith's wife) and Keenan Ivory Wayans (funny guy!) Actually shows the who car being slowly driven by one the main characters of the movie! She was driving a silver SC into a storage facility at night. It looked bad as$!
