For my birthday, (about a month ago now), I got a bunch of '80's DVD boxsets as presents. Amongst them was all 4 seasons of Knight Rider.
The below shots are from a couple of episodes in season 3.
Enjoy... :)

These are from an episode in Season 4

I dig those sunnies man! LOL

Nah, wasn't a JC movie this one.
Yes, Jackie has had a Stazza in 3 of his movies as a featured car.
But this particular special Starion was made for a particular non JC movie, think only 3 exist... :drool:

Jackie Chan I believe is sponsored by Mistubishi. They provide him with the cars for his movies. They gave him that Beautiful Gold engined Starion. :drool:

He drove the Evo in "Who am I?" The white one. Very nice.

What you're talking about is a Japanese cop show called 'Gorilla.'
Mitsubishi created four of the black gullwing wideys back in '88 for the show.
Apparently, one was created by a private owner from factory parts too.

Nice find..

Also seen a Jackie Chan movie with a red FTO featured as a prop when they were new.

He has got to be sponsered by them...

Red FTO he also drove the Yellow Evo1 in it? I remember that movie. Great movie. "Thunderbolt" 1992

Yeah and 'City Hunter' with the white Staz on a car hoist, (appropriate), and a red GTO cabrio. :drool:

And don't forget the Dakar spec Pajero! :)

Yeah, Jackie Chan is sponsored by Mitsu, contract started in I believe late 70s.
Every modern style film he does must feature a Mitsubishi of some kinda in some way and be driven by him, or have him within the vehicle.
There are only 2 exceptions to this I know of, as his contract did not spill over into USA when he began films there. (Since changed)
There has been 3 Starions that I can remember in JC films.
one was driven by an old lady and it got some air with a nice J turn LOL

I'm a big JC fan, even imported some of his clothing wear
