Gallery: 25 Dope Drug Kingpin Movie Cars

Intro

No one ever said dealing drugs was easy. By the time you've climbed to the top of your local scene, there's another young punk trying to take you down. No wonder so many drug movies don't end well for the dealers. Along the way, though, it's a great ride. There are parties, women, drugs (of course), and flashy cars. Scarface had his Bentley. Big Worm had his orange Impala. No matter how they choose to roll, the best drug kingpins always have nice rides. Here, we present the 25 best from film.

Kingpin: Young Tony Montana (Al Pacino)

22. Traffic (2000)

Kingpin: Helena Ayala (Catherine Zeta-Jones)
Car: Mercedes-Benz ML

20. American Gangster (2007)

Kingpin: Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington)
Car: 1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine

19. Blow (2001)

Kingpin: George Jung and Tuna (Johnny Depp and Ethan Suplee)

Pablo Escobar, Blow (2001)

16. Blow (2001)

Kingpin: Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis)

15. The French Connection (1971)

Kingpin: Alain Charnier (Fernando Rey)
Car: 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III

14. Boogie Nights (1997)

Nino Brown, New Jack City (1991)

7. New Jack City (1991)

Kingpin: Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes)
Car: Jeep Wrangler YJ
Complex Says: Before Snipes was unsuccessfully dodging the IRS, he played more than a few badass dealers. In New Jack City, his Nino Brown rolls in no-bullshit Jeep Wrangler YJ from either the late-'70s or early-'80s.

Samson Simpson, Half Baked (1998)

6. Half Baked (1998)

Kingpin: Samson Simpson (Clarence Williams III)
Car: Gold-Plated Wheelchair
Complex Says: This motherfucker doesn't roll in a 24-carat wheelchair because he's crippled. When you're in charge, you don't walk if you don't feel like it.

XXXX, Layer Cake (2004)

5. Layer Cake (2004)

Kingpin: XXXX (Daniel Craig)
Car: Mercedes-Benz
Complex Says: Dismissed as a young-turk metrosexual by his criminal overlord, the London coke dealer portrayed by Craig in Layer Cake (he's never given a name) is indeed a fancy boy. For most of his nefarious dealings, XXXX drives a sleek but sensible Audi RS6. At the top of his game, he wisely upgrades to this classic Benz two-door.

Frank White, King of New York (1990)

4. King of New York (1990)

Kingpin: Frank White (Christopher Walken)
Car: 1984 Cadillac Brougham Stretch Limo

3. Starsky & Hutch (2004)

Kingpin: Huggy Bear (Snoop Dogg)
Car: 1976 Lincoln Continental

Big Worm, Friday (1995)

2. Friday (1995)

Kingpin: Big Worm (Faizon Love)
Car: 1961 Chevy Impala
Complex Says: Big Worm proves that the brighter the colors, the more dangerous the beast. His 1961 Chevy Impala convertible is painted bright orange—with matching orange interior. It's a low rider, of course.

Youngblood Priest, Super Fly (1972)

1. Super Fly (1972)

Kingpin: Youngblood Priest (Ron O'Neal)
Car: 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado
Complex Says: The original pimpmobile, Youngblood Priest's tricked-out '71 Caddy Eldorado was the real thing. The movie's producers only added a little more flair. (That's not a standard Cadillac hood ornament, for example.) It was pretty much the same car that a street hustler known as "K.C." actually drove.
