A conversation starter since its release a decade ago, this movie is just as good a surround sound conversational piece. Right from the beginning, it softly introduces familiar Fourth of July celebratory fireworks in the background as you cruise down the street. Environmental sounds such as cricket calls and busy drive-in, transit effortlessly within the channels of your speakers as the car checks in at different places. You might jump from the firecrackers that are thrown towards you. Tension is felt through the portrayal of another car’s movement and screeching, in and out, front and back, within your surround speakers. Before you know it, bullets will hit right at your chest and the feel-good car music will then creepily take over your main speakers.
