The Lotus Esprit from the film The Spy Who Loved Me
Of course, when one thinks of the car that James Bond would drive, one immediately thinks of the British car manufacturer Aston Martin. More specifically, fans think of the Aston Martin DB5, which made its debut in the Sean Connery-starring James Bond film Goldfinger. However, throughout the years and numerous new entries in the 007 franchise, there have been several fantastic Bond Rocket League cars that would fit right into Rocket League alongside the soon-to-be-released Aston Martin DB5.

A prime example that comes to mind is the Lotus Esprit from the film The Spy Who Loved Me, which could even be outfitted with its submarine body kit (though ideally without the water on stage during a Rocket League match). The newer Aston Martin DBS V12 and V12 Vanquish from Casino Royale and Die Another Day, as well as the BMW Z8 from The World Is Not Enough, deserve to be mentioned as well.

Movie crossovers in video games have come in all shapes and sizes; whether it's Rambo and John McClane in Warzone or Arnold Schwarzenegger in Mortal Kombat, plenty of action movies have made their way into video games. Even beyond actors, there are references, locations, and objects from movies that have made their way into video games, ranging from subtle easter eggs to overt allusions to films. Rocket League is one of many popular games that has benefited from sponsorships and crossovers with other major film franchises, such as Fast & Furious, many Batman/DC films, Ghostbusters, and, most recently, the James Bond films.

As time has progressed, the Rocket League car roster has seen a significant increase in the number of pop culture references included. The addition of the iconic Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond means that there is certainly room for more iconic movie cars to join the already-impressive collection of film cars. Even with the inclusion of the stylish Fast and Furious Skyline GT-R as well as the iconic Back to the Future DeLorean DMC-12, there is still a plethora of vehicles that could see inclusion in a seasonal expansion or crossover DLC.

While it may not be as iconic as it once was, the old VW Beetle with a mind of its own would be a goofy but endearing addition to the Rocket League car roster. There wouldn't be much in the way of customization for the Herbie car, given that it has a very specific design, but it would still be an iconic addition to the roster. Even if players don't remember the old The Love Bug movies from 1968 onwards, the Herbie Beetle is still a fairly well-known design in the world of movie cars. Furthermore, Rocket League has never really had a Beetle-like design in any of its original cars, despite having similarly sized cars with a variety of different designs.

The 'Ferrari' from Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Ferrari from Ferris Bueller's Day Off would make an excellent addition to the Rocket League roster, especially when paired with other supercars already on the roster, such as the McLaren 570S. Given that the iconic Ferrari Racing Red has already made an appearance in Fortnite in the form of the Ferrari 296 GTB, bringing another iconic Ferrari to Rocket League makes even more sense. Even if the original Ferrari from the film is a replica of the original 250 GT California Spyder, being able to score some goals in the iconic coupe would be downright badass. If a Ferrari can end up in Fortnite, what's to stop another, even more iconic Ferrari from ending up in Rocket League?

Christine's Plymouth Fury from 1958
Speaking of iconic red cars, a certain Stephen King-inspired addition to Rocket League may bring a touch of horror to the game's car roster. Christine's iconic red prowler would make a lot of sense given the combative nature of Rocket League's gameplay, and it is unquestionably one of the most iconic movie cars ever designed. As envisioned by the author, Arnie purchases a 1958 Plymouth Fury in order to make a statement to his peers.

Shortly after getting into the car, Arnie begins to develop a manic personality, all while the Plymouth Fury becomes increasingly sentient and aggressive. This aptly named Fury would be a sinister addition to Rocket League's car roster, capable of intimidating all opponents.
