:mindblown3:

This one I do know.

That is an image of Don Johnson from the television show "Miami Vice"

He is reacting to his car, a Ferrari Testarosa, being destroyed.

Actually it was a (fake) Daytona. The white Testarossa was the replacement.

Seeing as we're talking trivia, where did this one come from?

Correct - the earlier seasons had them driving a Daytona Spyder replica. That's the one in famous In the Air Tonight scene:

I guess I'm getting old...I went to see "Tango & Cash" on a date. Great late '80s flick; it's on cable pretty often. Worth watching. Teri Hatcher was in her prime.

Robert Redford from Jeremiah Johnson...

That's Robert Redford?!! I thought it was that fat dude from the Hangover movies.

 

[2Wycked]

Where is this gem from?

 

[britchard]

^Mark Webber of the F1 Red Bull team isn't it?"

 

[HighSpeed_LowDrag]

Nice find 2Wyck. You can tell by the girl's beaming smile that she'd probably relish the thought of him painting a van Gogh on her face.

That is the actor Jimmy McNulty in the HBO series "The Wire"

 

[Slim Shady]

Tachnically it's the actor Dominic West who plays Jimmy McNulty on The Wire...

This is one of my absolute favorite gifs. The fact that it has two masculine heroes giving a dramatic high five makes it really appropriate for the tone and audience of this forum.

:highfive:

I was messaging a friend on Facebook and I wanted to congratulate him for accomplishing something cool. Since gifs only appear as still images I searched for the original clip. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.

The actual clip, from the movie Tango and Cash, is a perfect blend of 80's cheesiness and awesomeness. And that glorious synth-pop song makes it perfect:

Ricky, you're making me feel old.

I went to see Tango and Cash in the cinema.

Turner and Hooch, Batman, Back To The Future 2, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade also came out that year and I went to see them all. 1989 had a glorious summer that seemed to last for about 5 years. Me and my friends spent much of it walking for miles along the canalside, fishing for sticklebacks and hoping to find a dead body like the kids in Stand By Me.

Everything was better in the 80's.

Except the video games.

^Mark Webber of the F1 Red Bull team isn't it?"

yup. funnily enough, Lewis Hamilton recently got in some SJW hot water after spraying a Chinese girl with champagne. She was photographed looking uncomfortable and many panties were bunched.

This one?

Robert Redford from Jeremiah Johnson...

Yeah, that's the one. Thanks.

LOL on a date! That's awesome.

Loved Tango & Cash and Teri Hatcher...."you bumping uglies with my sister?"

It's great that we're getting to the bottom of all the GIFs I'm learning something here...didn't even know that was Don Johnson in the sunglasses gif even though I was always a big Miami Vice fan.
