Title: Accountant 2
Post by: HoodRichOG on July 10, 2025, 11:45:29 PM
Surprised nobody posted this here.. if you watch Accountant 2, the main character rides a Strike and it's displayed pretty prominently in the movie. Was really surprised to see in a Hollywood top tier film.

No one posted about it because no one wants to acknowledge the scam.

I noticed it. Figured the producers were driving around and saw it in front of someone's house with the rest of their garbage and grabbed it (just as they'll grab a sofa put by the curb). Some Hollywood special effects and: Voila!  Running motorcycle!

well, that sofa, be careful on how you word that.

used sofa - free for the taking....  that thing will sit there for months.

used sofa fore sale 20 dollars, come up and knock to inquire and / or pay -  that thing'll be stolen by the next morning for sure.

in order for someone to take something, they have to believe there is some value in it. .... which is why that motorcycle was in the trash to begin with :D

Ben Affleck owns one, so presumably he's the one behind this.

I suppose if I had Ben Affleck money, I'd own a Lightning AND a Curtiss... but that's just me.

i have an old Yugo with 2 wheels remaining on it, and a stump broke mule I'll sell you.
the Yugo has about the same reliability as the lightning, well, actually, at one time the Yugo actually ran...
