Vanishing Point.... who's seen it?

[Flash68]

Just watched it. Cool movie and car chase scenes. Even for a Mopar.

First or remake? I saw the orig when it first came out at a drive in. I have it on DVD.. Did you know that in the orig movie, they crashed a Camaro into the tractors and not a Mopar..

I also saw the remake but cannot remember it (senile)

The orig Gone in 60 seconds is cool too

Didn't know there was more than one version... I saw the one from the 1971 with Barry Newman.

Just looked up the "remake" it was a made for TV movie in 1997. My mistake & guess it wasn't worth remembering

The remake had Vigo Mortesen as the driver. I thought it was pretty good since it was made for TV. The original was better.

Saw the original.

Barry Newman also died on 'The O.C.'

Don´t forget Barry Newman driving a 1972 Ford Torino GTS in "Fear Is the Key", from 1973.
Great car chase!

I saw it when it came out, yes I am that old...

Seen the original back in the day with Barry Newman and Clevon Little as the DJ. One of the coolest movies ever! I believe Kris Kristophossen( I hope I spelled that right),Rita Coolidge,Delaney&Bonnieand others performed the music in the dessert scene. Kowalski(stage name)drove a Hemi Challenger across country at high speed and eluded all law enforcement.
