Remember that sense of suspense was instilled within when watching THIS scene from the amazeballs movie Drive? It never goes away no matter how many times you rewatch it.

The music (Tick of the Clock by Chromatics), the sounds of that Impala, just EVERYTHING about this single scene is incredible.

Bonus video for those who wish to acquire it and listen when stuck at a redlight, or just wanna make the humdrum daily routes more intense. (Toothpick not included.)

Don’t remember the Impala from the movie.

Was it an SS with the 5.3? Only way that the engine sounds used would even maybe make sense. The 3.5 and 3.9 don’t sound like that at all.

That engine overdub, shall we say... lacks truthiness.

Just before this scene starts, you see the driver talking to his mechanic (Bryan Cranston), who tells the driver he’s swapped in a V8 for him.

Here’s the scene that inspired that scene, from the movie that inspired that movie (The Driver)

It’s a fairly good scene. But the toothpick in his mouth is a stupid played-out trope. And the sounds are so obviously added in post-production - you can see his right arm on the steering wheel while it’s making down-shift noises. It’s like the opposite of Fast and the Furious - they show too *few* shifts.

Also, what music?

To be honest I hated this movie. I wanted to love a movie about driving that was more thoughtful than FTFT, but all the staring at each other when they were supposed to be having conversations ruined it.
