When the movie was released in Salem, Oregon some teenagers had the same response. After watching the movie, a Mustang was chasing a Charger full of boys. It was all good fun until the Charger lost control and hit the end of a guardrail, which went up over the hood, through the windshield and exited through the back window. In doing so, it whipped around in the passenger compartment, killing all inside. Most by decapitation.
This accident resulted in a State mandate that all guardrails be changed to bring the ends down to ground level.
