Land Rovers in Film, Television, and Music Videos

THE PERFECT SIDEKICK FOR 007:

If Land Rover were a secret agent, it would undoubtedly be James Bond. Land Rover has been in the game for 70 years and still going strong – just like 007.

Land Rover derivatives have appeared in seven of the many Bond movies. Could any other vehicle compete? The Land Rover Defender SVX featured in ‘Spectre’ was given an epic makeover, like Bond's ever-changing wardrobe. Land Rover may not require a martini (shaken, not stirred please) to celebrate its 70th anniversary - but we won't say no.

And, Land Rover isn't just a sidekick – it's an equal partner in the crime-fighting fun. Land Rovers are engineered with the same level of sophistication, performance, and style as 007 himself. Beefed up with 37-inch tires, extra power and improved suspension, Land Rover Defenders have been featured in ‘Spectre’ and ‘’Skyfall to deliver heart-stopping chases through the Austrian Alps. Range Rovers meanwhile have been used in ‘Octopussy’, ‘The Living Daylights’, ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’, ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘’Quantum of Solace’. Land Rover is simply 007's perfect crime fighting partner.

 

THROUGH CAVES AND ALL:


With Angelina Jolie cast as heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, Land Rover won the role of her trusty transport vehicle. The Land Rover Defender SVX was customised for a cinematic experience that only Land Rover could deliver – diamond plate trimming, underwater snorkel, serious off-road action: Land Rover had it all. And with Land Rover, Lara Croft was ready for any mission.

 

TAKE THE GOLD!

While the triumphant trio of Mini Coopers may seem to steal the show, Land Rover also made its own wonderful cameo appearance in the iconic film, The Italian Job.

 

ANGELS AND DEMONS

A Land Rover Defender was just what Robert Langdon needed to escape pursuers in the dark forest at night - and it didn't let him down. With Land Rover's off-road capability, power and style, Robert avoided capture and escaped to safety. Again, Land Rover - the ultimate partner in crime-fighting adventure!

 

RAP ARTISTS + LEGENDS

In the rap game, Land Rovers rule the road. They represent the pinnacle of success and luxury that make it easy to show off to friends, enemies and anyone with eyes. With signature curves and custom upgrades, Land Rovers communicate one thing loud and clear: you've made it. Whether cruising around town or heading to the studio to cut a track, Land Rovers are the perfect symbol of success.

No one loves Land Rovers more than Jay-Z. He name-drops them in more than a few songs, always adding some swagger to the ride with his lyrical stylings. But, he's not the only artist to give Land Rover a shout-out. Nicki Minaj gives Land Rover a nod in Pink Friday: The Lost Tapes while Tyga is featured driving a white Range Rover Series IV in his hit single RAP $TAR.

If you're keen to join the Land Rover club, be sure your ride has that one key ingredient: solid rap tunes. With Land Rover's reputation for luxury and sophistication, plus Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj's legendary references, you'll make a statement wherever you go. So, hit the streets and show off your stylin’ Land Rover – with some rap, it's sure to turn heads!

"I love my, I love my, I love my Range Rover."
- Nicki Minaj
