#JackReacher (2012) : 1970 Chevelle SS 396
During pre-production, nine Chevelles in total were procured, mostly lower trim level models, some even lacking a V8, from states as disparate as Michigan, Ohio, and Connecticut. Only one of the nine cars was a legitimate SS 396 and never actually made an appearance in the film, but instead was later snapped up and kept by Cruise himself.

When Jack Reacher's car crashes into some barrels, the car accidentally stalled upon the impact, but Tom Cruise was luckily able to restart the car before driving off again. Rather than do a retake, Christopher McQuarrie decided to leave it in the film, as he felt it added to the suspense of the scene.
