WHO THE HELL WAS THE SOUND DESIGNER FOR THIS?

OK, number 1) I'm actually a trained audio engineer and 2) I'm a Mustang fan.... So with that said, and I know this was filmed in South Africa, did ANYONE on the sound crew have even the remote knowledge of what a Mustang sounds like... OR for that matter an American V-8? I actually stopped watching the movie right after the first chase scene to come type this. I personally don't and have never worked on a major motion picture, but this was so distracting that I don't think I can continue to watch the movie.... (and no I didn't pay for it either so no skin off my nose)But seriously! I'm pretty sure the actual sound of the Mustang (which had 427 on the head rests), was that of a Japanese straight 6, like that of a R-34 or Supra. This is honestly the most glaring bit of lackadaisical audio work I've ever seen! I could have done a better job at home on my laptop!

A friend and I were walking by a street and this teeny tiny suped up car revs its engine so loudly and we were laughing at how it barely took over the Toyota Camry in front of it, but it sure made a lot of noise.

Not sure what the point of the car or this story is, but your thread reminded me of it.

I take it you hated "Knight Rider"... Wow. Get a life... this is far less of a big deal than all the other mistakes I could point out in pretty much every other movie that involves automobiles. Go read a book, they have no sound. Oh wait, they require an imagination...something you are severely lacking in.

No, I don't care what you think. Really. Don't bother replying.
