Re: Segway in the movies
I saw the preview for Envy. I remember sitting at home and saying, "All right! They used a Segway in this movie!".

Re: Segway in the movies
I think it will definitely boost Segway sales some.......as long as people know what it is and that it wasn't some machine custom made for the movie.

Re: Segway in the movies
Working in a movie theater I can tell you that Segway's are in a lot of movies. Yes it's in Envy, and Win a Date, but it's also in Cody Banks 2 as well as other. It's kind of upsetting because I REALLY want one and I can' find enough free money to buy one...oh well there's always graduation.

Re: Segway in the movies
It wouldn't happen to be arrested development now would it? I'm not certain on that one though.

Re: Segway in the movies
I recall an episode of the Simpsons where Homer was watching the news and anchor man Kent Brockman said something like "In other news.. Segway accident leads to 1000 killed." In another episode of the Simpsons Dr. Hibbert was riding on a Segway

Re: Segway in the movies
I know it was a rerun tonight, (and this is an old thread) but the segway was on the Simpsons again. Mr. Burns had bought out all media outlets in Springfield, so Lisa starts up her own newspaper. Homer and company are out delivering papers, when first a black car driven by a Burns associate sideswipes them. They continue on. Then a helicopter decends and mashes into the top of their car. They continue on. Finally, a guy drives up alongside them on a segway, and runs them off the road. I wasn't set up to record the video, but I did freeze a frame:

Re: Segway in the movies
If you look carefully, they slipped a Segway into Paycheck, Minority Report and I, Robot.
I'm always keeping an eye out for Segway ![]() |

Re: Segway in the movies
It did have some pretty ridiculous product placements (Converse must have paid a huge amount. there was also a pretty blatant Audi one when you see his car stopping at the gate to the scientists house.), so I would believe it.
