THIS car graveyard is filled with famous motors from movies and TV - including a Marvel blockbuster and an Eminem video.

A film nut toured the field, picking out vehicles from fan favourites like Breaking Bad, the Sopranos and Better Call Saul.

TJ Lamb, who runs MagnaCars, toured the collection put together by Devon Velvet, who he described as the "heir" to the Celebrity Car Museum over in Branson, Missouri.

There they found an array of vehicles from some of the most popular screen offerings in history.

Highlights included the orange AMC Gremlin used by rapper Eminem in the video for Purple Pills, released as part of the D12 group at the height of his early fame.

Just behind that was a GMC truck used by Walter White's nemeses from the DEA in Breaking Bad, as the pickup camper van driven by Helen Hunt and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the 1996 classic Twister.

Elsewhere, there were a selection of police cars from acclaimed Batman prequel spinoff Gotham and a Ford Falcon used in the production of both Ford vs Ferrari and Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho.

And those are just the cars that were still in one piece, with a few wrecks bearing the scars of their own film deaths.

These included the 1998 Suzuki Esteem that was pushed off a cliff in hit show Better Call Saul, complete with its one red door out of keeping with the yellow paint job.

Perhaps the crown jewel of the set, though, were the remains of the racecars destroyed by supervillain Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2, a key film in building the immense success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There was even a van used by Frank Sinatra back in the music icon's crooning heyday, as well as the tour van used by the fictional band Josie and the Pussycats in the 2001 film of he same name.

Social media commenters were amazed by the vast collection.

One wrote: "Dude Jimmy's car from Better Call Saul is insane. I would love to own that."

Another added: "Coolest video I've ever watched on this platform, thank you."
