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.

Depends entirely on the movie maker's attention to detail. 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.

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.

Worst is when they inexplicably use 2-stroke sounds for a Harley. Or
vice versa.

Everybody knows Harley's sound like a bunch
of bolts falling onto asphalt.

'cause a bunch of bolts are falling onto the
asphalt.

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.

I thought putting the bolts back was half the joy?
