Welcome back to the final installment of the inaugural Vehicle Patrol Report! cheerleader On with the show…

Agency Vehicles

Some of the Agency vehicles we see (exclusive of Lee and Amanda’s cars)…

There Goes The Neighborhood

In TGTN, we see Francine arrive at the Betsy Ross Estates in a light blue Ford sedan (whoo! Stylin’ Francine, stylin’… smiley-laughing004):

S1E2_Agency_Blue 

Magic Bus

In MB, we see agents watching Amanda’s house in the diaper service surveillance truck (well, they’re watching until they start snoozing sleep):

S1E4_AgencyUndercoverVan 

In the same episode, near the end, we see Billy and Francine (and another agent) arrive in an Agency black Ford sedan, plate 4328-DC (government vehicle):

S1E4_Agency_Ford_4328_i2 

The ACM Kid

In TACMK, we see Lee and another agent watching the Kalnikov’s house spy from a blue Agency surveillance van:

S1E5_AgencyVan 

Service Above And Beyond

In SAAB, we see agents (including Lee) watching—and listening (and ranting rant2)—outside the restaurant in an Agency cream Ford surveillance van:

Saved By The Bells

In SBTB, the car that follows Lee and Amanda hiding is an Agency vehicle—a black Ford sedan, but different to the one in Magic Bus, because this one doesn’t have a red pinstripe along the side:

Some amusing vehicle moments

The First Time

Who wouldn’t be amused by the helicopter scene in TFT, where Amanda is forced to pilot the chopper, and which includes such gems as “Open your eyes!” and “What are you wearing!?!” “What do you care?!?”? Ahh… love SMK! clip_image013

S1E1_20 

Amanda’s car also gets quite the workout in this scene clip_image016(maybe that’s why they went with the Ford LTD early on instead of the Oldsmobile—ROFL!):

There Goes The Neighborhood

I mentioned this briefly in the previous post, but in TGTN, Scarecrow gets a parking ticket! clip_image016[1] ROFL!  (I wonder whether he gets to expense that?)

S1E2_ScarecrowGetsATicket 

Later in the same episode, we see Scarecrow exit the Porsche and attempt to shut the door, but it fails to close (though Scarecrow is too distracted by trying to save Amanda to notice)—yet another reason for BB to dislike the car… clip_image023

S1E2_PorscheDoorDoesntClose 

Magic Bus

Lee seems to have a lot of fun gaming in MB. smiley-violent048 He manages to blow up the baddies’ Jeep (as seen in the previous post), and he cools off the Army:

Saved By The Bells

Ahhh… and who could forget the three-golf cart impasse in SBTB? Classic SMK! clip_image034

S1E8_GolfCarts 

Oopsie! Blooper reel!

The First Time

This blooper was already pointed out by Iwsod in her blog coverage of TFT, but I’ll mention it again here, just because.  When Amanda’s at Moby’s Dock, she has the boys and a friend of theirs in the back seat (looks like they were at soccer practice, maybe?).  However, when Amanda leaves, the kids are mysteriously gone, and replaced by giant blue plastic bags (?).  Not to mention, Amanda is Stunt Amanda, Lee is Stunt Lee, and the cars either side of Amanda’s car are different…   wheeeee…

There Goes The Neighborhood

Maybe this one isn’t technically a blooper, but why would the locally-based baddies use a van with California license plates (2E95795) when they’re trying to run over fake flamingo-wielding Lee in the middle of the night? confused (Note: Lee piccie lightened for clarity…)

S1E2_Ford_2E95795_rear    S1E2_Lee_NoTie2_i2_lightened 

BTW, I also think this might be a real license plate, since it has the dlddddd—2E95795—format of California commercial vehicle registrations (though I’m not sure that the gold on blue format would have been used for a plate in the 2****** series—it was for the 1****** series, but switched to the current style of blue on white sometime after):

Always Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth

This episode has three “vehicle” bloopers, or—at the very least—a blooper, a switcheroo, and a really messy string of stunt horse appearances and stock footage…  smiley-confused009

The baddies’ jeep (Virginia TL7-609) is left-hand drive (see first picture below) but, while Lee’s driving along the road, the frame is transposed (pointed out by BJo in her ALAGHITM stats post; note steering wheel and license plate locations in second picture below):

S1E6_BaddieJohnson_Jeep_TL7609    S1E6_BaddieJohnson_Jeep_TL7609_Oopsie

The second blooper is also related to the Jeep. The vehicle that is seen tumbling down the cliff in flames is clearly not the Jeep—the most obvious indicator being that the wheelbase is much too long rolleyes:

S1E6_BaddieJohnson_Jeep_TL7609_OnCliff2    S1E6_BaddieJohnson_Jeep_TL7609_Oopsie2 

As if that wasn’t enough for this episode, we have a crazy string of horse appearances—three horses switched in and out during the horse scenes.  twitch

The horse gifted to Princess Penny by baddie Bo Johnson is a pretty grey with charcoal colouring around muzzle and eyes, and grey hooves:

S1E6_Horse1_i4    S1E6_Horse1 

However, the horse that is trained to rear at the cliff edge is a grey with a pink nose, pink around its eyes, and tan hooves:

S1E6_Horse2    S1E6_Horse2_i3 

Further, the horse seen rearing at the cliff edge in close-up is yet a third horse—stock footage (ROFL! Bad pun, I know!)—and actually isn’t wearing any tack!!! No bridle, no chest straps… nothing. clip_image016[2] ROFL! Nekkid horsie! clip_image059

S1E6_Horse3_STOCKFOOTAGE

These three horses can be seen switching it up throughout the horse riding scenes. smiley-transport018

California license plates

This blooper occurs in multiple episodes, but it’s more prevalent in Saved By The Bells than the rest of these first eight. The blooper? California license plates on surrounding vehicles (note that the CA plates have gold/yellow text on blue; see, e.g., the plate on the van in TGTN above)—here’s one example (the parked cars and the truck driving behind all have CA plates):

S1E8_CarsOnStreet2 

Plates without punch holes/bolts

Oops! smiley-signs081 License plates have pre-punched attachment holes/slots (and should be seen attached with bolts/screws) except—it would seem—for some of the plates in SMKland. LOL! As an example, this truck plate from Magic Bus must be attached with double-sided tape, or Blu-Tack, or Gorilla glue, or …???… clip_image001  (Not to mention, it’s very one-dimensional looking—the text doesn’t appear raised, which would be normal for a license plate…   unless it’s an SMKland plate made of cardboard or plastic, maybe? clip_image034)

S1E4_Truck_C762Z4_i2_300x200 

Well, that’s it for the inaugural Vehicle Patrol Report.  I hope you had fun driving (?) through these episodes with me…  smiley-happy093I had fun!

Please let me know if there’re things you’d like to see—or not see—in future Vehicle Patrol Reports…
