Memorable Movie Motors

In a similar vein but to ruin any street cred the Continental gained from that post, what about the Gadgetmobile? Memorable doesn't have to mean good. :p

Movie: Inspector Gadget (and Inspector Gadget 2 with a terrible paint job)
Year, Make, and Model: 1964 Lincoln Continental
It had a giant CGI jet engine, what's not to like?

I always wondered how a switchable supercharger would work. I get the clutch for the drive belt, but how does the engine breathe when the supercharger is off?

The answer is it doesn't! The supercharger on the movie car is fake and the real carbs are beneath it.

You could probably come up with a very complex system using lots of butterflies, valves and four carbs (two of which would have to remain fully open when the supercharger is engaged and have no fuel flow) but it won't be worth it.
