1984 XJ Wagoneer Limited in the movie "Dead End". I love the look of this XJ, too bad it's wrecked in the end. Possibly one of the scariest movies I've ever seen, I don't really know why though.
1996? Jeep XJ Police Vehicle. As seen in "The Fourth Kind". I thought the movie was weird lol.
I can't tell what year it is since it's an international model, but it's an XJ nevertheless. It was in a chase scene in "Taken".
XJ from the movie "Crash". I kind of feel bad for it.
1996 Jeep XJ from "The Cable Guy" Which is my favorite movie of all time. If you haven't seen it, do so now. You'll laugh trust me, it has jim carrey and matthew broderick.
1986-1992? Jeep XJ Laredo from the movie "Twister". Which is my second favorite movie, seen it over 30 times.Those are just a few of what I can remember. The goonies XJ scene is probably the best one out there though.

Couple if these threads around here. XJs have to be the most used vehicle in television and movies. Im always calling them out when me and the wife are watching.
No pic but recently watching "into the storn" Xj when they are fleeing the school.

Was flipping channels this weekend during the free movie channels preview on DirectTV, and happened upon "50 First Dates" right at the part where the cop was writing her a ticket for expired plates. The first thing that caught my eye (besides Drew Barrymore) was the XJ that the cop was using.
