Sin City: A Dame To Kill For - 15 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

11. Nice Car... It's no surprise to once more see some stunning cars on show in A Dame To Kill For considering Frank Miller's affection for beautiful vintage cars. The comic scripter tends to render the objects of his affection into his graphic novels, and the same can be said of Rodriguez's film with appearances for a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1960 Corvette, 1959 Cadillac El Dorado, 1948 Tucker Torpedo, and Dwight's 1964 Ford Mustang. The most important car in regards to Easter Eggs here is the Tucker, a brilliant piece of design that went the same sort of way as that other iconic movie car the Delorean after the major car industry players squeezed the car company out of existence. But more importantly at one point, Marv mentions to Johnny that he saw a film about the Tucker he's driving and acknowledges the rareness of the car. The sequence is a reference to Francis Ford Coppola's 1988 biopic Tucker: The Man and His Dream, which starred Jeff Bridges as the beleaguered car maker behind the car - Preston Tucker.
