Default Fake TV Engine Sounds

I hate for a start sound dubbing of fake engine sounds in films, inc gear changes/revving engines etc that dont sound right to what the car/bike is doing in the film.
Now I was watching the other day Ultimate Police Inteceptors and during the scenes seeing the Scoobie's and EVO's going along the engine sound like an Aston Martin DB5 sound.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Does it boil other peoples blood too?????

Should have seen "Worlds Wildest Police Chases" yesterday.

"Here's a clip from Oxford, near London England" the car was driving in a bang straight line yet the tyres were screaching, then the Big Ben chimes come in. It was cringe worthy at best. And they dubbed over the police voices in a terrible Dik Van Dyke/Mary Poppins English accent

They always dub noises on in films, appraently actors need it to be as quiet as possible to concentrate on their scripts so most of the engine noises are fake

One massive credit to the Fast and Furious franchise as they do use the actual cars noises.
Well, the first one did any way so I read.

Road wars is bad for that , they drive round a corner at about 3mph and they got some stupid sound effect of a car at about 4k revs and ragging to the next gear, and tyres squealing! . next time anyone watches it, have a look lol... bloody annoying .

re terminator, i realised that xr100 was dubbed to be a full fat cr at 10yrs old! the missing expansion chameber and cg125 looking head confirm this. god knows how they expect the male audience to fall for the sound effects. with all the money they budget for films and they dont know and 4cyl from a v8. worse still, they get manual cars to sound like a big yank auto.

heres another drip then.
say a car has done a long journey say a couple of hundred miles and for example the car is just pulling outside the motel/hotel etc etc.
the car is pouring out condensation cause the prodution team only started it 5 mins ago just to get the shot of it pulling up after said long journey. ahhhhh. that wouldnt happen now would it.

Watch the film 'Drive', they are absolutely shocking in that film its the main reason i turned it off. The car he drives has about 28 forward gears and even changes up when reversing They used the same sound clip for every driving scene
