Disney G-Force Experience revolving logo...

G-Force was the first live-action Disney movie to be filmed in 3D and the family comedy follows the exploits of a special FBI team of trained secret agent animals, primarily guinea pigs.

For a limited time if you saw the movie at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, you could go across the road afterwards and continue your adventures with the G-Force Experience in the Hollywood and Highland Center.

Hollywood movie vehicles on display at The Petersen Automotive Museum...

The Pertersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles has a fantastic array of vintage cars, motorcycles and also famous vehicles featured in Hollywood movies. 

It also has exhibits featuring cars owned by Hollywood stars, take for example this 1956 Jaguar formerly owned by Steve McQueen.

I visited the museum on July 28, 2009 and photographed some of the marvelous autos on display including the Volkswagen Beetles featured in Disney's Herbie films.

I was also able to capture images of vehicles from the latest blockbusters like the Can-Am Spyder Roadster from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and classics like Raul Julia's Ferrari from The Gumball Rally, Jack Lemmon's Professor Fate Hannibal 8 car from The Great Race, Steve McQueen's Winton Flyer from The Reivers and even comic geniuses Laurel and Hardy's Ford Model T Touring car from Hog Wild.

More contemporary cars on show included the Batmobile from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns, the Mach 5 based on the animated 1967 cartoon Speed Racer and even the VW Transporter from the quirky comedy Little Miss Sunshine.

There are even cars like the 'Black Beauty' from TV series like The Green Hornet to discover.

Be sure to check them all out and also other vintage cars from America's history.

Speed Racer's Mach 5 car...

The Mach 5 is one of the most famous race cars in the world because of the continuing popularity of the 1967 Speed Racer animated series.

Speed Racer's iconic Mach 5

In 2000, this hand-built, mid-engine interpretation of the cartoon Mach 5 completed a nationwide automotive safety tour in America sponsored by the Child Safety Network.

The Speed Racer Motors organization then announced plans to build a series of 100 road-ready replicas based on front-engine Corvette platforms, but few were produced.

This super-cool car is on display at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and was photographed on July 28, 2009.

The Mach 5 recently appeared in the 2008 live-action movie version of Speed Racer, for which no running vehicles (only prototypes) were made because all the action was digitally created.

Speed Racer was played by Emile Hirsch, but sadly no matter how cool the car looks the film by the Wachowski Bros., the creators of The Matrix Trilogy, was a big box-office flop.

The Batmobile from Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns movies...

Almost twenty feet in length, the Batmobile was driven by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's 1989 Batman and the 1992 movie Batman Returns. 

With his dark reinvention of 'Batman' Tim Burton really did kick-start the boom in big-budget Hollywood comic book movies.  

Tim Burton's Batmobile

The Batmobile featured in the movies were based upon a 1967 Chevy Impala found at a London junkyard. It was powered by a 327-cubic inch V-8 Chevrolet engine mounted low in the frame in order to drop the hood line and enhance the sleek profile of the car.

The Batmobile from Batman and Batman Returns

Designer Anton Furst took the iconic Batmobile design and reinterpreted it into a powerful and menacing crime-fighting machine which fit into Tim Burton's Art-Deco inspired Gotham City.

Rolls-Royce jet engine components were used to form the hood-mounted intake and turbine blades in the nose piece were scavenged from a British Harrier fighter jet.

1989 Batman and 1992 Batman Returns

Two Batmobiles, the featured car and a stand-in, appeared in Batman and Batman Returns. Three additional studio-authorized Batmobiles, of which this car is one, were constructed for publicity and promotional purposes after the film's release.

The impressive Batmobile was photographed on July 28, 2009 in the 'Hollywood Star Cars' exhibit at The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
