Last night on AMC they ran Risky Business and had a little box scrolling on the bottom of the screen with info & trivia on the movie.
It was kind of interesting to know that the sound of the 928 was replaced with the soundtrack of a Ferrari V8.
They also said that Porsche would not give them a car to use in a movie about prostitution. The producers had to buy the car(s) for the movie. The producers said that it had to be a german car so they could use the line "So, who's the u-boat commander?"

 

ironic.. I saw it again last week. I watched the credits and Porsc#e wasn't mentioned anywhere. But a caterer was.. Hmmm.

I thought the engine sound was more throaty... it makes sense now.

I still like the back bumper being torn off the blue 911 in the towing scene of "Office Space".. I guess that's the only retribution I can get for owing a watercooler, laughing thru an air-cooled mangling scene..

 

Yeah, that exhaust sound was always very obvious wasn't it! I have the DVD. It was a $9 Walmart special one day and I grabbed it.

 

Interesting! I always thought the 928 in that movie had a very racey sound to the engine! I just figured that was how the 928 sounded.

One of my favorite movies of all time!

 

I made Renee sit thru it for the 20th time last nite. Good stuff! Would have been the perfect nostalgic 80's porsche-movie-fest if "Weird Science" and "16 Candles" followed it..............

 

The sounds used in a movie are rarely accurate. In other words the real thing doesn’t sound right. I was doing a play recently that needed a gun shot (old west 6 shooter) as a sound effect. A recording of a revolver didn’t sound right through their sound system. So I combined a shotgun recording with the revolver recording and then added some reverb to get an acceptable sound. I would be surprised if the Ferrari recording was pure. It’s all about the illusion.

 

You guys need to get over the hostility towards the 911 crowd

I love that scene in Office space as well!

 

Man I'm going to WalMart after work.

My favorite scene
"trust us we're professionals"

Oh and my avitar shows I'm a fan

 

I have a trig midterm tomorrow and Im being chased by Guido the killer pimp.

Great movie. Right up there with my all time favorite Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

 

Ferris Bueller is another great one. I cringe everytime the Ferrari goes crashing out of the garage.

 

My dad's a TV repairman, he has an awesome set of tools. We can fix it!!

ahh.. Spicoli. and the Phoebe Cates pool scene- Right on Chris! Oohhh.

back to topic.. Kidna rare for a early 928 to have Manual..

 

Saw it...so sad how it was dumped in the water!

 

Kinda rare for any 928 to have a manual. I looked high and low for a clean S4 with manual, came up empty.

If it makes you feel any better i read about it being a replica shell on a Fiat chassis....

All of those movies are great... Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Fast Times At Ridgemont High are some of my favorites... Risky Business isn't to far behind....

 

Take a good look at the 928 when it's on the dock just before it goes into the water. It looks pretty rough around the underside of the nose. I don't think that one even had an engine.

I wonder where the real car is today?
Anyone here with a champagne 1982 5 speed?
