Considering that it"s the impetus for his entire kill-crazy rampage (OK, and the heart-hollowing demise of his adorable puppy), it"s odd that Mr Wick"s Mustang doesn"t feature higher on BEST MOVIE CAR EVAH lists. It may or may not have something to do with that other Mustang, the one that carried that other movie star around San Francisco, and the notion that cool-car lists get a bit samey after the 15th Mustang. No, really, Mustangs are to movies what Nile Rodgers is to music a consistent deliverer of head-nodding goodness, regardless of the genre. Bullitt, John Wick, Gone in 60 Seconds, Drive, Lethal Weapon, the other Gone in 60 Seconds, Gymkhana VII, Diamonds are Forever, Twister, Thunderball, Clerks II, Me, Myself and Irene, Vanilla Sky, Lost Highway, Misery and even Basic Instinct feature one generation of Mustang or another, to say nothing of countless TV shows. So that might be the why" of JW"s 1969 Boss 429 going begging in any top movie car lists, but it does feel like a raw deal for such a prominently featured and profoundly wonderful car. And yes, we know that it"s not a real Boss 429, in much the same way that we know that Keanu Reeves isn"t really an international badass assassin. Well, we think.
