Was watching an episode of Strike Back season 4 a couple of weeks ago, the bad guys pulled up in a Territory. The scene was set in Columbia I think.

BTW anyone know what the blue car on the left is:


I initially thought VF or VG Valiant 770 Regal Hardtop but the C pillar looks wrong (a also wrong for a Dodge Phoenix I think). Galaxie Coupe ?

But possibly the VG Valiant Mexicano Coupe which would explain the C panel shape

Agreed as well as being a good comedy it gave some sensitive insights into some indigenous (and I guess also cross gender) issues.

As the OP is asking about E series onwards, I can't really recall many off the top of my head except for The Day After Tomorrow and various TV shows, but I do urge Ford to try and get their top-end cars more into AU films, or films being made by US crews in AU!

Didn't City Homicide show a lot of Falcon police cars in it? I never watched the show, but seen the promos on Channel 7 when it was still going.
