IMDB refers to this car as a NemoMobile (trivia). Should we use this for a name and date of the movie for the year? |
◊ 2006-02-18 19:05 |
Yes, why not. Impossible to identify it as anything else! |

To get rid of all those 'Unknown' movie cars we could say: Make: Made for Movie Model: 'name given in the film' (like 'NemoMobile', 'Batmobile', etc.) If the base vehicle is identifyable we should use that make and model name and add 'Modified for Movie' in the 'Extra Info' field. I think using 'Made for Movie' as the make name makes it absolutely clear that it is not a company name. What do you say? |

It's very difficult subject. In many cases, we can't get informations of 'Made for Movie'... |
◊ 2006-02-19 14:08 |
I agree with Alexander, using a special make like "Made for movie" would be the best solution for the moment (i.e. until the site is organized differently) |

I updated this movie, the Great Race and the Batman movies to identify movie props as "Made for Movie" -- Last edit: 2006-02-19 15:15:16 |

For that one: /vehicle_16573-Made-for-Movie-Batmobile.html We could keep GM as make since they were making ads with that (as said in the comments of that page), even if it was made for a movie. Same for that one that had a make: /vehicle_10697-Tumbler-Batmobile.html |

I had the make as Made for Movie and model as GM Batmobile. This kept GM in the name but allowed a search that contains "movie" to find the car. We should probably find a way to keep these one off customs consistent for the search function. At any rate, I put www.imcdb.org/vehicle_16573-Made-for-Movie-Batmobile.html back the way it was. I didn't change the Tumbler. -- Last edit: 2006-02-19 16:41:15 |

I don't really have something to do with this, but I think you should refer to some things as Made For Movie! People will indeed understand that's not a company name. |

4 stars |

I do not remember that it was much visible in the movie ![]() -- Last edit: 2006-04-10 21:23:05 |

It wasn't used much. I'd leave it at 3 stars. I remember this car had a big block V8 sound which sounded so good in the theater! |

Body made of fibreglass. Saw it a couple of year ago on a show in the UK. |

Flamboyant, but i love it! |

Now thats a fashion statement!! ![]() |

The NemoMobile was never driven over 50 MPH due to the fiberglass body vibrating in the wind. It had an automatic transmission, but screen shots of the floorboards show an extra pedal - a second brake pedal! This was to assist in sharp turns due to it's length (22') and the fact that it had 4 front wheels! Personally, I like it better with the removable hardtop on it, but either way, it's pretty cool. I would love to have one, or at least a more street capable version of one; my inquiries so far have estimated an exact replica at $300,000 to $400,000.... a little out of my LEAGUE. -- Last edit: 2008-09-09 15:51:15 |

The car is currently owned by Propstore of London www.propstore.com/league.htm, and was on display at the 2006 London Motorshow. They named it differently on their site, but i'm sure they hardly know how to name it. A full description and more pictures can be found here www.propstore.com/lxgcar.htm. One of the guys at Propstore told me that the elephant sculptures at the front always get damaged when the car is driven of the trailer. The car was build by carbabies www.carbabies.com/ -- Last edit: 2008-10-27 17:07:00 |

"Ken Freeman is the best custom car builder you've never heard of. The owner of a body shop in West End, North Carolina, Freeman is the man behind Spirit of Nemo, his take on possibly the most challenging movie car of all time: Captain Nemo's 24-foot-long convertible from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And guess what? Nemo is for sale on eBay." This car was not used in the movie. It is a replica. The movie car was mostly digital. www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a20125/league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-car-ebay/ www.ebay.com/itm/162016417586?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISPIf2sDkII www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYsOLtiu0kU -- Last edit: 2016-03-26 15:58:41 |
