Audio problem: Driving his dad's pickup, Rockford gets flanked by one of the worst dressed killers in history. The guy shoots him about 3 times, but the audio is at really low level for a revolver shot from a couple of meters of distance and there's no flash or smoke indicating that any shot in fact is fired. Combined with the fact that it's preposterous that the guy could miss from such a short range and no arm/body movement is present, it's an adequate guess to imagine that the sounds have been added in post to add some sense of danger and were not planned when shooting the actual scene.
