Well, there was Burt Reynolds' White Lightning, where he jams a flloor
shifter int first in a 70's vintage Ford and peels out. Then when he charges into a parking space he reaches up to shift a column lever into Park. I know these movies are not 100% accurate, but the fun to me is knowing the difference to spot the bloopers.

When they re-made 'Vanishing Point' (not a great remake, to be honest) they did go to great pains and spent a lot of money to get reasonably authentic engine sounds. A '68 hemi Roadrunner was rigged for sound recording and was the "audio stand-in" for the "Hemi" Challenger. One mistake they did let slip through- there's an engine-bay shot in the movie. Its the Roadrunner "sound car" engine bay- E-bodies never used the big chrome air cleaner that was shown. That was a B-body only item. But at least the SOUNDS were quite accurate for that flick. |

When they > re-made 'Vanishing Point' (not a great remake, to be honest) According to the single outside reviewer at IMDB, it stank on ice. The original is a movie I like to see at least once every 5 years or so. > they did go > to great pains and spent a lot of money to get reasonably authentic > engine sounds.

Those are the old Harleys, the ones for which the repair kit is a little box containing seven different kinds of balin' wahr. Maybe things are different now, but I'd still pick a Kawasaki hog-clone. -- Cheers, Bev ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (On going to war over religion "You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend." -- Rich Jeni |
