ICOM Radio in New Movies "AVPR" and last Die Hard flick
I just saw the new movie "Alien vs. Predator Requiem". During one scene a
group breaks in to a hardware store to get some guns and there sitting on the counter was a nice Icom 756 Pro, with a huge Icom poster for it clearly in view behind it on the wall. What I missed was the frequency they dialed in to talk to the locate National Guard unit. Anybody else notice what it was? Also in the latest "Die Hard" movie it looked like the radio used in the police car seemed to be a single or dual band Ham rig, maybe a Kenwood 2m/70cm radio. The view was rather short on the several occasions I saw it and couldn't make out the model or the frequency dialed into it. I suspect it's a Kenwood due to the yellow/orange back lighting. -- Regards, Leland C. Scott KC8LDO |

I can't remember the make - probably Icom or Kenwood handheld in DH1 and DH2. DH3 had an FT101 on a tug. Wonder what caused the amateur radio influence? 73, Ian. Nottingham, UK. |

I didn't notice the other Ham rigs in the earlier Die Hard movies. I'll have to look for them the next time I see one of the reruns on TV or cable. -- Regards, Leland C. Scott KC8LDO |
