PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

It\u2019s just a typical day in the lives of the employees, customers and passerby of a Los Angeles car wash. There\u2019s a would-be robbery… an assembly line of the weirdest, baddest, shadiest characters you\u2019ve ever met… and lots of \u201870s music to pass the hours till quitting time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Car Wash<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray through Shout Factory and is presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). For the most part, this is a good looking picture with sharp detail, natural looking skin tones and colors are generally bright while dark levels appear stark. The big downside is, it\u2019s not entirely clean as I noticed many dust marks and even scratches, taking the rating down a half point.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track. For the most part, the movie is dialogue heavy with some soul-funky 1970s music thrown in for good measure and modest depth. While nothing amazing, the track is decent enough with no major instances of pops, hisses or other flaws.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Car Wash<\/em><\/strong> is an oft funny 1970s ensemble comedy with the likes of Richard Pryor and George Carlin making brief appearances but making the most of their limited screen time. This Blu-ray released through Shout Factory\u2019s \u201cShout Select\u201d line offers good video\/audio transfers and an okay selection of bonus features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
