I was re-watching Pixar’s Cars 2 the other night. I never noticed this before but there is a gun reference in that movie. The character Rod Torque Redline is an American Spy who infiltrated a secret organization. The bad guys have roughed him up a bit and like in a Bond film, submitted him to a slow death by an overly complicated scenario. The camera aims at the rear of the car and for a second you can see his personalized Michigan State plate; “M1911A1”.

Here is a screen clip and at 1:20 into the video clip, you see the license plate.

Somewhat intriguing to see in a kids movie.
