gothbat Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 In the movie Gargoyles (the TV movie from 1972) the motel owner pulls a bottle of Jim Beam White from the police chief's desk and pours herself a drink when she goes to report an attack on one of her guests the night before.

squire Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Not pictured but aptly described by Humpery Bogart as Sam Spade when he says to a woman, "I've got a bottle of pretty good Rye in my pocket". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Remembered a few minutes ago that there was bourbon in the Last House on the Left remake that I saw a few weeks back. I'm not sure of the brand or if they actually show the label, I'm thinking Jim Beam or Evan Williams but I'm not really sure at this point.

ACDetroit Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 If this has been called I'm sorry. I was watching Grind House the other night...Odd movie but Kurt Russel is driving a 69 Charger and opens the glove box pulling out a 5th of Four Roses yellow label to kill the pain of being shot in the arm.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squash Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 In the movie Elegy, Ben Kingsley pours a Maker's Mark for himself and his son, played by Peter Sarsgaard. The bottle is featured prominently as it sits on a table between them during a conversation.I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie, even though you get to see Penelope Cruz naked several times...nice, as well as three squash scenes. Ben Kingsley is just not convincing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_martin Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Argh... that should read "Later in the same movie, Evil Dead Trap, one of the characters lights his cigarette in front of a table that has some cosmetics and a bottle of Wild Turkey on it. I'm not sure which one because we don't see the whole bottle.". Not sure how I managed that one or how what I said in the original post would even be possible... lolHey gothbat. Isn't that movie from Japan? Maybe it's a bottle of export only WT 12yo.(BTW-I used to collect eurotrash and some Asian flicks back in the days of vhs. No websites. Placed orders by flyer-type catalogs. Many were bootlegs. I used to jump through hoops for lousy copies and now I see some of the same titles on dvd in BestBuy.)

I used to jump through hoops for lousy copies and now I see some of the same titles on dvd in BestBuy.) Yep, that's the one; saw the "sequel" a week or two ago and figured I'd revisit the first one. It's hard to say on the bottle because I can't quite match it with any of the current labels but the movie is 20 or so years old so that may be due to a label change. I'm thinking it's one of the lower proofed expressions though because the foil at the top of the neck is gold. I added a picture, maybe someone can say what it is for sure. I remember well those days, back before most imports had a legit, uncut, domestic release! My first copy of this movie was actually one of those "collector's tapes", I think I got it at a convention or in a trade with someone on another forum. I usually can't get into the Japanese horror but this one wasn't bad, I mostly watch Italian movies, giallo especially (I've often considered started a Scotch in the Movies thread in the Foreign Whiskey section so I have a place to log all the J&B bottles I spot! :] ). I've never seen the movie but your avatar makes me think of Danger: Diabolik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days I'm going to get around to checking out Danger: Diabolik, it wasn't in either box. As for giallo, they go great with a nice pour; if I have one I've been really wanting to see I'll usually save it for a time when I have time for both!

independant Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I have been watching 1000 ways to die and many times in describing what leads up to someones death they add that the person was drinking bourbon but always show them drinking a made up brand.

George Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 In last night's episode of "The Big Bang Theory," a few characters went to a bar. There was a bottle of Blanton's prominently displayed at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
independant Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I was watching The Soup this past weekend and it had a bottle of Evan Williams black label in one of its fake clips. Hard to explain if you have never seen the show. It was a bottle of EWBL only with the Evan Williams name blacked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothbat Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Wow, I just saw a witch doctor of some sort taking swigs from a bottle of Wild Turkey, some of them he swallowed and some of them he spit in what seemed to be a ritual to cure the sick of his tribe. (No subtitles on what he's saying so I don't really know; next he ripped the head off a chicken, sucked the blood, and spit it out.) All this and more in the extremely entertaining Ebola Syndrome!

Bourbon Geek Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 A couple of folks have mentioned Special Agent Jethro Gibbs from NCIS... his character is a bourbon drinker ... I think they are deliberately rotating the brands in his workshop. I have seen him drink Maker's, Wild Turkey, I think Ten High, and maybe one or two more. Another reason why I like NCIS so much ...RE: Sam Raimi ... I believe he has been quoted as saying ..."All my villians will drink Maker's Mark!" ... and he places it without any payment from Maker's.Speaking of Maker's fans ... Sandra Bullock is among them. In the movie "The Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" she threw in a plug for Maker's ... I have heard it wasn't even in the script. Something like ...Well, here we are, sittin' around, drinking our Maker's Mark ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I was watching Two and Half Men last night and they were sitting at their kitchen table drinking pours from a Woodford Reserve bottle and a large 1.5? Litre handle next to it. Couldn't see what the handle was but i think it was bourbon...Woodford Reserve seems to have made several appearances on that show. I spied a bottle out on the deck one evening near the end of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBOmarc Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I ahve noticed many episodes on repeat of "The West Wing" where there is whiskey in a decanter sitting and being used in the oval office. The color suggests that it is indeed Bourbon. Scotch would not be that dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLfarmboy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 My wife watches NCIS but I don't. I would have thought if they went to the trouble of a fake label they would have replaced the stopper. A bottle of scotch with a horse and rider stopper doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinenjo Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 "Our Man in Havana" was a comedic spy film from 1959. I just watched it the other night. Can't beat the ever-solid acting by Sir Alec Guinness. In the film he is recruited by the English secret service to do some work in Havana, Cuba. Toward the end of the film he plays checkers with a police lieutenant (played with gusto by Ernie Kovacs ) using mini bottles of booze. When the opponent takes a piece he downs the juice! Bourbon vs. Scotch. It was a fun film, to say the least. I spotted a bottle of J.W. Dant and Old Crow, and possibly an Old Grand Dad. Now that's a game of checkers I'd play for keeps!

gblick Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I was watching the latest episode of Harper's Island last night, and the sheriff poured something into a coffee mug. I had it on DVR, so I was able to pause/play it back to see what it was. The label said Parker's Bourbon, and didn't look like anything I've ever seen. And no, it wasn't Parker's Heritage, probably a made-up label.Edit: Just played it back again to have another look. There is a lot of glare on part of the bottle, so it's hard to see the first letter, but I think it may actually be Barker's Bourbon. The bottle is also tinted brown.
