    hi there,

    I recently seen 'Super 8', the latest Spielberg movie and saw that guy at the fuel station with a walkman, an TPS-L2, the version released before the final Walkman logo.

    I was also capturing frames from the final scene of The Terminator and TheLion remembered me that at the begginning of this movie appears another walkman, so I finished capturing frames from this movie and from Super 8 and added to my website.

    However, I post here some frames so you can see what walkmans are.

    I remember another post about walkmans and movies in thos forum; do you remember another famous movie with walkmans (apart from 'pretty woman' Back to the future' and those two?)

    Super 8:

    The guy from the fuel station and his brand new TPS-L2

    Hello there,

    I've just updated my 'Extras' page with three new movies: Another 48Hrs, A view to a kill and Guardians of the galaxy.

    In 48hrs, eddie murphy has an unidentified JVC.

    In a view to a kill some spies are recording a secret conversation with a WM-F5, which BTW doesn't have any recording feature [​IMG]...

    A view to a kill.jpg

    In guardians of the galaxy it appears the popular TPS-L2.

    Tom Hanks was sporting a sick shiny walky in The Man with One Red Shoe, I believe it was a Toshiba KT AS10 which was smaller than the cassette it played! I had one that I found at a thrift store, that I used all my senior year in high school up until it died a decade ago. image.jpg

    Here are a few screenshots from Ghostbusters 2, where my beloved WM-B39 can be seen.

    In this scene they play some music to the entire town through speakers in the Liberty statue.

    In Baby driver (2017) there are so many cassettes, decks and even a R2R seen. It's very nice.
