Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a very engaging, hilarious dramedy that I’ve always found very entertaining and extremely well done despite its lack of blockbuster status. This particular scene has a few different listening modes, as in the beginning of the scene the audience is just in the car with the two main characters as they are talking. There is no hidden meaning behind the sound of their speech or even as the car crashes down from the cliff into the water below. It is all very casual and remains as such throughout the scene as they go sloshing through the water to find the girl in the back of the trunk.
In this scene the movie was also very good about space and how it used it to portray the scene properly. When the sound of the car appears off screen it is obvious by how low the pitch is that it is far away but as it gets closer to driving over the edge the sound of the engine grows louder until finally it makes the point in the scene where it crashes into the lake below. Also as the car begins to sink and the camera pans out to see the entirety of the lake, it gives the audience a good idea on how big the lake is compared to the car, which evokes a certain frightened emotion for when the characters courageously go diving into the water to investigate.
