There was also some Paul Hogan movie where he got hit by a Vanagon.  I have
no idea what movie it was, that was the highlight. I think he was an
reformed ex-con.

Also in Girl Interupted, Winnona Ryder and Angelina Jolie hitched a ride in
a splittie.

 ( It's evident I'm a parent of small children ), the kids show Veggie Tales
is filled with animated beetles and split windows. I've probably seen every
episode, at least 3 have VW's.

Didn't Forrest Gump end up in a splittie at some point? I'm not sure about
that one.
