Hondas aren’t just for Sunday drives with the kids – they are high-powered machines with starring roles in countless action films and TV shows. Most people associate Hondas with safe, economical attributes perfect for almost any budget, and while that’s true, Honda also has its own line of souped-up blazers that take to the road with a growl and roar from their engines. Here are some Hondas that have appeared in blockbuster films and TV shows throughout the years.

Honda’s Starring Roles

Pulp Fiction

Not to be outdone by flashier roles, the Honda Civic got its time to shine in the spotlight in Pulp Fiction, the mid-1990s classic by Quentin Tarantino. The film used Civic models from 1980, which displays the sturdiness and longevity of Civic models. The Civic, along with other car models, saw plenty of action in the movie, getting in on the grisly action with a morbid accidental shooting in one of the vehicle’s cabin interiors (Sorry Marvin).

The Fast and the Furious Franchise

Without a question the Fast and the Furious franchise is Honda’s standout leading role, spotlighting the best of the Honda sports and luxury line, both the new and classic. Honda models that have appeared throughout the franchise include:

The 1993 Civic EJ1

Honda S2000

The 1992 Honda Civic EG Hatchback

The 1971 600 Coupe

Like Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock,” Johnson, the Honda is one of the leading actors among vehicles in the upcoming final two films of the series.

The Walking Dead

The world may be a post-apocalyptic wasteland of carnivorous undead and menacing marauders, but one thing hasn’t changed – Honda’s reputation for safety and reliability. The show’s characters can be seen driving or using several different Honda models as methods of escape, transportation or as refuge when the hordes of undead descend upon them. With an action-packed season eight looming on the horizon, you can expect Hondas to appear when Rick Grimes uses them in the all-out-war against Negan.
