BAM! The original Batmobile sold at auction for $4.2 million this weekend which has both car lovers and cartoon lovers giddy. Famous Hollywood cars like those from 'Starsky and Hutch,' 'Knight Rider' and 'The Pink Panther' go up for sale from time to time, bringing out the most nostalgic buyers. Here's a look at how five memorable cars fared when they hit the open market, and what they fetched for sellers:
December 21, 2012 Fans of the hit movie, 'Back to the Future' LEGO sent along their ideas for the new LEGO sets. It has just been announced that the set has been approved and should be on the shelves in 2013.
In the '80s classic 'Adventures in Babysitting,' Elisabeth Shue's 17-year-old character agrees to watch her neighbors' kids after her date stands her up. What seems like a simple enough gig quickly descends into a madcap journey into downtown Chicago for the sitter and her suburban charges. The action-adventure-comedy was a hit when it came out in 1987, and there have long been rumors of a remake, with Raven-Symoné and Miley Cyrus each being tied to the project at some point.
August 14, 2012 We had a blast at last year's 'Bricks Flicks!" The feature was "Back To The Future," and several DeLoreans lined the front of the screen. Tonight's film will be the original 'Footloose,' and I am sure there will be plenty of feet at the US-23 Drive-In on Fenton Road.
March 29, 2012 Long before Christopher Lloyd inspired our imagination as Dr. Emmett Brown from "Back To The Future," or "Roger Rabbit's" Judge Doom, he had us in stitches as Reverend Jim Ignatowski from the classic TV series "Taxi."
My son asked me the other day what a yellow traffic light means, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing as I thought about this hilarious scene as Jim takes his driving test.
March 14, 2012 I am a die-hard fan of the "Back To The Future" movie series. I love the concept, the characters, and that time machine! I was able to see a DeLorean at Back To The Bricks a few years back, and there were several of the slick sedans at last year's Bricks Flicks.
As much as I love the fantasy of it all, it looks like more and more of a reality. I brought you a story a few months back about Nike producing the Air Mag, the shoes Marty McFly wore in Part 2 during a stop in 2012. What else is a reality now? A flying DeLorean!
March 14, 2012 In the movie Back To The Future Part 2, Marty and Doc travel to the year 2015. Just a few years before they arrive, it looks like some of the technology we saw in the movie is becoming reality.
For example, Nike auctioned of 150 pair of it's Air Mag in 2011 with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. If you have a pair of those shoes from the future, now you can buy a hoverboard to go with it.
At his annual Parkinson’s Disease fundraiser in New York, Michael J. Fox recreated the iconic ‘Johnny B. Goode’ scene from ‘Back to the Future.’ Hello, McFly!
September 9, 2011 If you're a fan of the "Back To The Future" trilogy, you're probably familiar with the shoes Marty McFly wore in 2015. The Nike Air Mag lit up and came complete with power laces.
Just a few years away from 2015, and 26 years after the 1985 release, Nike is bringing the Air Mag to life.
August 16, 2011 Tonight, Back to the Bricks officially gets underway at the US-23 Drive-In on Fenton Road north of Hill Road.
Bring the family for a night of free entertainment! Gates open at 5pm, and the movie starts at dusk! Check out a preview of the movie after the jump!
August 4, 2011 There's nothing like seeing the thousands upon thousands of classic cars make their way into Flint and Genesee County for one of the best car shows in the country.
On August 9th, Back To The Bricks kicks off with the start of the first annual 'Tune-Up Week' in Clio, continuing with stops in Flint Township, Linden/Fenton, Davison and Richfield Township.
Bricks Flicks is the official kick-off for Back to the Bricks. This year's movie is Back to the Future and you can join us at the US-23 Drive-in. There's going to be a lot of cars, entertainment and more
