CHiP's had a decent stepside that John the blonde guy drove, Rockford files, Rocky also had one.
Can't think of the name of the movie in the late 80's maybe early 90's where a wicked stepfather tries to kill one of sons of his wife and tries to run him down with a lifted black blazer with all sorts of lights.
Jaws had a blazer.

The K5 has cablights, but the end lights on both sides have a driving light there instead. I think it also has a row of 3 lights across the rear of the hardtop. I think it also had a couple of driving lights in the pushbar too. Been a while since I have seen that flick.

In Red Dawn, the Russians are seen driving a K5 as well. Jed's (I think his name was) stepside was pretty cool too.
Lone Wolf McQuade did have a very early 70's-late 60's sub, that the Fed's drove when they were following him down the "goat trail".
Chuck Norris........ formerly a Gm feller, before he seemed to swap over to a Dodge also had a white K5 in a movie. It wasn't Lone Wolf.. but I'm blocking on the name. It might be the one where the "bad guy" keeps coming back to life.
I'm just blocking on the name of it..
He also drove a truck (I think) in Invasion USA if I remember correctly.

yeah, I was thinking it was a dark colored stepside.monster man said:yes, a sweet gunmetal grey stepside, makes a nice hole in the side of the shopping mall!
The other Norris flick I was thinking about was: Silent rage
He does a pretty nice little 180 turn with it if memory serves correctly. But you can see where the film makers wet down the street for the shot.

War of the Roses (1989). Kathleen Turner's character crushes her husband's (Michael Douglas) Morgan with a red & white K5.

In Clint Eastwood's movie Bronco Billy (1980), the corrupt Sheriff has a 1979 K5, equipped with some police/sheriff stuff.
I know Charles Bronson once was driving a post 1975 Blazer (I suppose it was a 77) , but I don't remember the name of the movie.

How about "Jaws 2" 1978 & "Earthquake" 1974
Info about the K-5 in earrthquake......
Stewart Graff's Four Wheel Drive Vehicle...
Throughout the film, Stewart Graff drives around Los Angeles in his massive, go anywhere, four-wheel-drive vehicle. As a special section for you car buffs, here are the statistics...
The vehicle is a 1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer four-wheel-drive with a 350 cubic-inch V-8 and an automatic transmission (with just three speeds -- not the "eight forward speeds and three reverse" number that Stewart Graff refers to in the film).
The Chevy sits on American Racing's five-slot magnesium wheels, and 31-inch tires. The Blazer was mildly customized by Universal Studios for the film, and was sprayed with a red racing stripe over silver paint, and featured a slightly modified grille and full custom hard top. The interior was light blue, the rear seat removed, and a chrome roll bar was added. It even had a primitive car telephone!
The cost of the modification alone was $5,000. Considering the entire purchase price of a Blazer was about $5,000 in 1974, the modification was quite an expenditure. This would be the equivalent of taking a new $35,000 Chevrolet Suburban SUV and customizing it for an additional $35,000!
What happened to the "Earthquake Blazer" after the film is unknown, but it was likely sold to a crew member or Universal employee ... in other words, someone probably has it, and I'd like to talk with you!

I was going to mention that one but I forgot to. That was quite the "interesting" chop they did on the top.

chuck noris also drives second gen k5's in both delta force 1 and 2, i guess when it comes to chevy trucks in movies chuck norris is the master.

the movie with flea and anthony kiedis flipping the really tall bronco was called "the chase". and as far as commando goes, at least he wrecked the blazer for a reason. still not cool, though. the car killing scene that really gets me is in bad boys 2, when they shoot up and/or crash the rasta guys' musclecars. that black chevelle was so sweet.
That movie "Radio" with Cuba Gooding Jr and Ed Harris.
One of the football coach's drove a green 1st gen.
They were having a conversation and I think one of them was sitting on the tailgate.
