X-Men Origins: Wolverine has a few chainsaw shots in it. Looks like he's using an 070 that's been painted. There's a few glimpses of what looks like older Husqvarnas and a Mac. Its cool they used saws that fit close to the time period for the scenes in the movie.

Yeah, the saws fit, but the lat model caterpillar log loaders sure didn't!

It is rare to see a saw as big as the super 1050 homie used in the running man, rare but gratifiying. There are also a couple of good scenes in Porky's with a homelite C5 and a pioneer holiday when they are cutting the piers on Porky's place. The saw that Clark Griswold has is a PM610 mac.

Don't forget the 306 Poulan in THE chainsaw movie.......Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

An interesting bit of trivia,

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The house in the movie Psycho and the character of "Buffalo Bill" from Silence of the Lambs were all spawned by a real life serial killer named Ed Gein.

I hadn't realized that the saw in that was a 125 Mac. Pretty cool.

Cant think of any off the top of my head right now, I personally would love to see more in TV and movies.

Only one I remember is the scene in Porkys. Good memory Hoss.
Also Texas Chainsaw Massacre- duh
