The answer is in your message: some "vehicles" do not cound. But it can still be interesting to mention these somehow just in case someone thinks
- what were these vehicles? are these real?
- what were these vehicles? are these real?
Sure, Batmobile MUST be listed, that's the reason of "made for movie" vehicles: "real" (or looking real) vehicles.
I think we're getting a bit confused here....
The "buggies" in my thumbnails are real in the sense that they are not models or CGI, if you click on the thumbnails you'll see that there are real people riding in these things (in the 1st thumbnail, Luke, Leia and Han are riding on it). If you watch the film you'll see that they are being powered by a motor/engine. As I said, they are probably warehouse vehicles (which we categorize as ground conveyors) with a bit of dressing.
Although the Batmobile is a much more prominent vehicle in the Batman films, so even if you left that out the page would be missing something. The buggies in these Star War films are only about 2/1 stars, they only play a tiny role in the film. Although we could also include Luke's Landspeeder in A New Hope because underneath it was either a Reliant Robin or Bond Bug.
By the way, with the go-kart in that film I think we've gotten into a big grey area with non-road vehicles. I think since we allow golf carts and forklifts and stuff like that, then why not this? It has a motor, people ride in it and it plays a role in the film. I realise I probably started off the whole warehouse vehicle/ground conveyor thing when I did Austin Powers, because of that scene where he tries to turn around in a corridor with that buggy (and there lots of other similar vehicles used in that movie). But then I don't think Postman Pat's van should be listed and you said it was OK
We don't allow disability buggies to be listed (like the one in Ali G Indahouse), but recently I was behind one in my car which was riding on the road AND had it's own numberplate! (unless he was cheating and it wasn't a real one) But we should definetely not list any go-cart without an engine, otherwise you might as well list a shopping trolley from Jackass.
