This was a good movie, I bought a 1970 challenger , 426 hemi race engine , mine is black 4 speed manual dana 60 positrack full options, it was my graduation present when my parents won a shitload of cash in Reno 1971. I was the coolest guy in my high school.. Still have it, never sell it for any price....
That scene alone honours the original movie from 1970/71. Makes both movies equally iconic (IMHO). Besides " 'takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" and "My wife yes. My dog maybe. My Dodge... NEVER" are classics..lol
I bought a 70 Challenger 440 R/T SE back in 1973 with 16 thousand original miles. It was a 4 speed car with a 410 dana. I ran it up to 6 grand on 35w between Forest lake MN and New Brighton MN at around 5:30 on a Sunday morning with no other traffic I was going right around 120 mph with calm winds. The aerodynamics were so poor the front end got enough air under it that I could not keep it in one lane. I have driven cars across frozen lakes at eighty MPH and felt that I had more control. So the 160 Mph they showed on the movie car speedo was shall we say a little bit of creative licence on the directors part. But lets face it no buddy bought those types of cars for their top speed especially with 410 gears. Mine could hold its own stop light to stop light racing on Central ave between the Sun Drive in and White Castle in Minneapolis.
HEY Joe. You'll be glad to hear that if you look really close at the end of the 71 version , it's a 67 or 68 camreo YEAH no shit seems that the producer's were mopar people
@@robertadams9699 actually it had something to do with Chrysler. They didn't want any of their cars even used in the movie. I read an article on this year's ago. Something to that nature.
Not only is the 1971 version a WAY better movie, but in the original, Kowalski always stuck around to see if the people that crashed were okay. It was part of his goodguy character.
That car (or any car for that matter) would be less than half of its original length after a crash like that. And how did the wheels change from Mopar Ralley rims to Cragar SS?
Never ceases to amaze me that whenever a car crashes and explodes into flames, the front end of the car just erupts in those flames despite the fact that there is probably not more than a pint of gas in the carb and fuel lines in the front of the car.
My heart breaks every time, it is said that if you listen carefully at 3:00am you can hear the ghost of a speeding 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T on the road way over yonder...... :'(
My first girlfriend lost her innocence in the backseat of my '68 R/T Charger. Two months later her sister lost hers on my hood! I wish I would have kept that beauty (the car.......of course)!
"It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" Yet another case of Hollywood's disconnection from reality! PS. Having certain scenes repeat 3-4 times, just simply Sucked Balls... Stop It !!!!!
and then the demon came out and now it's got quite a title going for it. there aren't a whole lot of vehicles that can run 10's in the 1/4 from the factory. super cars can't even beat the demon's raw horsepower. and even the hyper cars struggle to do it. the only vehicle that poses a challenge is the tesla p100d.
I like the original but in 1997 version it was more EMOTIONAL to see how he realised he lost everything, how everything he did lost its meaning, and how in the last seconds of his life he dreamed of his wife in the guise of an angel. And then BOOM! Both movies were pure fun but 1997 was a little bit better for me
Good compilation of old and new mixed together. The original was 1971 of course. Enjoyed this one. In the real movie, the car that hit the bulldozers was a Camaro.
Actually the original Vanishing Point the Challengers were 1970's not '71's. There were multiple ones, I believe 4. The cars were loaned/leased to them to make the movie and had to return them when done filming. Therefore they toed a stripped '67 Camaro into the bulldozers.
+pmkrak So 4 people ended up with gently driven 70 Challengers. The ending is impressive as hell, much better than CGI. I got to do an Alinement on a 70 Challenger 440/Pistol grip 4speed in 1989 or so and it was ALOT faster than I expected.
The end music is so Beautiful the car chase the voice hard so explain just makes me want to see my dad agen he went to heaven in 2017 so I miss him so much thank you for your time
bill hickman... a legend. I'll always remember the face on his passenger in the chase in that movie, a look of total stunned awe and a good bit of fear as he whipped that whale through traffic in what had to have been a pants-shitting experience no matter how much choreography was involved (he gets the credit for that too because he was also the choreographer). I could never tell how much of that face was real, but seeing the driving I believe there wasn't any acting involved.
Having seen the original Vanishing Point "first run", double featured w/Easy Rider at an Indy drive-inn in 1971, I must say THIS IS ONE LAME MOVIE! Dad burned the tires in our '67 Coronet 500 pulling out, after "Captain America & Billy" and "Kowalski" died...as did practically everyone. The drive-inn "cop" just looked away...heh heh. That was a great summer!! Dang, now I'm nostalgic, missing my Mom & Dad. Dumb-ole CZcams anyway...
I agree, the first one was WAY better. This one it seemed like they thought how can we keep it as close as we can to the original but really screw it up. Worst part was the ending. They should never have added the commentary
Haha! "Hit those bulldozers at over 180mph." My ass... That challenger would be the size of a super sub-compact car if it did that. Not to mention the bulldozers would be seriously hurting.
I love the original Vanishing Point, as it portrays something of the nihilism of late Vietnam-era US culture with Barry Newman and a white Challenger on the road to nowhere. This remake was so godawful that I was rooting for the bulldozers...
Original movie... Kowalski chose the bulldozers. They were the vanishing point of his life. The whole movie was a series of flashbacks on Kowalski's life that began and ended with the bulldozers. A *man* living his life on his own terms and ending it the same way.
I saw the original. Have not bothered watching the remake. On a side note, raced a superB w/ the 440 interceptor against my 455-at 90 going on 100 mph - he looked at me, smiled, and just WALKED AWAY from my damn 455 like it was nothing!!!! Pissed me off big time, but what the hell.
The original Vanishing Point is so much better. In the original production the Challenger is really hauling ass...not a camera trick, or done in editing, the car is truly going extremely fast. This version of that great movie is cheezy. You wanna see a great flick, and some badass driving...search for the original. Fortunately Gone in 60 seconds was redone with taste and a great cast...The original, for it's day still kicks ass...but as a fan of that movie since it was debuted, my hat's off to Mr. Cage, and co-stars!
That's cool mine was a 73 and a 73 charger 69 super Bee 383 4 speed 69 Coronet 440 got to love them mopars 🍀get R done 😎✌️ oh yeah 74 power wagon and a 100 3-speed column shift and now 2019 ram classic two-door square box 5.7 hemi 🥳
So the Challenger hits the buckets of two front end loaders at 185 mph and they don't budge. Considering the force of the impact would have destroyed everything in sight, should have just done it.
I flipped a car going that fast once…it was a 1995 Honda Del Sol Si with a Honda 2.2L H22A4 DOHC VTEC swapped in _(which came available after a family friend’s 1997 Honda Prelude got rolled over by a giant construction vehicle, so, the shop where the car ended up & deemed it a _total loss_ called my dad, I was making tons of money doing graphic design, web programming & I bought the motor for $2700, used the 5-speed which was already in the car (as far as I know)… I was racing it against my best friend since second grade who was in a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX…I have no physical memory of the crash or the summer surrounding that accident, I remember waking up in a Hospital Bed , the girl who’d been me secretary all that summer lying in the hospital bed with a nylon net around it, and I remember she was crying, hugging me, I had no idea what was going on…
This is the hardest choice a Charger Rt or Challenger both beautiful!!! But I think I would go with the CHARGER!! Ever since Dirty Mary Crazy Larry that's been my car but still is a hard choice!!👍👍
Life in the 413 they said they were junked after production except for 1 n think they are still trying to find it don't remember if it was a fact or rumor I love 69 Charger n 70 Challenger RT with pistol grip 4 speed they we're fucken CAR'S!!
Havent seen Vanishing Point in years. Havent seen Vanishing Point in years. Love those old muscle cars. Love those old muscle cars
🤣
Me too. Me too. They're awesome. They're awesome.👍🏁👍🏁
🤣🤣
I'm gonna get the papers get the papers
poor charger when it crashes... even when I was a toddler, I felt sad since I loved cars a lot then. Love cars even more, the more I learn about em
This was a good movie, I bought a 1970 challenger , 426 hemi race engine , mine is black 4 speed manual dana 60 positrack full options, it was my graduation present when my parents won a shitload of cash in Reno 1971. I was the coolest guy in my high school.. Still have it, never sell it for any price....
Richard Woods - - excellent & I am green eith envy! 😎 Guess I'll have to settle for my '16 Challenger SXT (until I get a V-8 in the next few years).
You might want to rethink that a 70 challenger 4 speed hemi just sold for half a million on Bring A Trailer.
That scene alone honours the original movie from 1970/71. Makes both movies equally iconic (IMHO).
Besides " 'takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" and "My wife yes. My dog maybe. My Dodge... NEVER" are classics..lol
The best acting was done by the cars.
Viggo Mortensen was pretty good, and he will NEVER WORK THAT CHEAP, EVER AGAIN!
"cheesy" editing, too.
WHERE. IS THE. #1. CUDA. !!!!!!!!!! 😎🍻
what's with all the repeats? is it necessary to play some of the video & then replay it over again? Do they not think we saw it the first time?
Its so that he doesnt get copyrighted by CZcams 👍

Good times.
Destroying the Charger was a criminal act!
on sen calice !
Definitely, 68’s are rare.
Yea
The 1971 film is far better. Waste of a classic Challenger.
HEY Joe. You'll be glad to hear that if you look really close at the end of the 71 version , it's a 67 or 68 camreo YEAH no shit seems that the producer's were mopar people
@@robertadams9699 actually it had something to do with Chrysler. They didn't want any of their cars even used in the movie. I read an article on this year's ago. Something to that nature.
The acting blows in this remake....like most remakes do.
But Viggo Mortensen was in this movie
Not only is the 1971 version a WAY better movie, but in the original, Kowalski always stuck around to see if the people that crashed were okay. It was part of his goodguy character.
what a waste of a good mopar
Michael Orlowski they used a Camaro in the original to crash if it makes you feel better
of two mopars.
That car (or any car for that matter) would be less than half of its original length after a crash like that. And how did the wheels change from Mopar Ralley rims to Cragar SS?
+Gregory Guza It Rally knocked the hell out of em.
@guza Since when do we start believing in Hollywood being realistic? GEEZ, take it for what it is.
What’s with the instant replay? It’s annoying.
Two MOPAR legends…
Going head-to-head against each other…
*NICE!*
This isn't the real Vanishing Point, it's a pale, made for TV imitation. Accept no substitutes.
Cleavon Little> Jason Priestley..."Super Soul" or a bad Alex Jones impersonator....I'll take Cleavon any day (RIP Cleavon Little)
It makes me feel sick every time I see a Charger destroyed on TV and in the movies, especially as rare and expensive as they are today!
Same here
Well,thats the reason🤠
Never ceases to amaze me that whenever a car crashes and explodes into flames, the front end of the car just erupts in those flames despite the fact that there is probably not more than a pint of gas in the carb and fuel lines in the front of the car.

Movie Magic
My heart breaks every time, it is said that if you listen carefully at 3:00am you can hear the ghost of a speeding 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T on the road way over yonder...... :'(
Did u mean the charger too
Strange Person I heard at 3 am you can hear the voice of the Devil
I like how the guy drives and shoots so as not to disturb his passenger who does happen to be riding "shotgun"
Cross ply tyres, drum brakes and leaf spring suspension, ahh, those were the days!
My first girlfriend lost her innocence in the backseat of my '68 R/T Charger. Two months later her sister lost hers on my hood! I wish I would have kept that beauty (the car.......of course)!
Pilgrim777 your boyfriend lost his ass in your car.
Haha, Pilgrim, the first time I read your comment I thought it said "my sister" rather than "her sister", and I was like, this dude is a real rooster!
rapist . lol
Pilgrim777 Hope she was legal age or baby Chris Hansen be peeking 😆😂👌
R3dp055um most likely was his sister.
Vanishing Point, one of the greatest chase-movies of all time.
"It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" Yet another case of Hollywood's disconnection from reality!
PS. Having certain scenes repeat 3-4 times, just simply Sucked Balls... Stop It !!!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing!! I hate when people do this crap!
yeah that was really annoying.
it doesn't take a moparts car. to catch a moparts car😂😭😂😭😂😭
And then the hellcat came out proving that old saying to be right
and then the demon came out and now it's got quite a title going for it. there aren't a whole lot of vehicles that can run 10's in the 1/4 from the factory. super cars can't even beat the demon's raw horsepower. and even the hyper cars struggle to do it. the only vehicle that poses a challenge is the tesla p100d.
A tragic shame, the destruction of two classic mopars
This has to be a remake its not the orginal movie I have the original
I like the original but in 1997 version it was more EMOTIONAL to see how he realised he lost everything, how everything he did lost its meaning, and how in the last seconds of his life he dreamed of his wife in the guise of an angel. And then BOOM!
Both movies were pure fun but 1997 was a little bit better for me
I drove a 70 Challenger once to a car auction ! it was a stick with a 340, 4 barrel and boy that thing would run !
In had one too canary yellow
340's were badass small blocks!
If you had that car now you could almost retire.
And yet the Challenger didn't suddenly turn into a Camaro when it hit the bulldozers like it did in the original.
That is the weirdest looking Barry Newman I ever saw.
Barry Newman WISHES he was Viggo Mortensen...
Oh, the reboot of Vanishing Point.
Not THEE Vanishing Point.
Big difference.
This is the last year of the Dodge V-8's: get 'em while you still can!
Good compilation of old and new mixed together. The original was 1971 of course. Enjoyed this one. In the real movie, the car that hit the bulldozers was a Camaro.
Do you know why they used a Camaro?
I heard the Challengers (4) were lent by Chrysler to make the movie. The studio had to return them after production was finished.
Actually the original Vanishing Point the Challengers were 1970's not '71's. There were multiple ones, I believe 4. The cars were loaned/leased to them to make the movie and had to return them when done filming. Therefore they toed a stripped '67 Camaro into the bulldozers.

"Do you know why they used a Camaro?" To keep us Mopar fans from rioting and tearing the theater apart.
The end music is so Beautiful the car chase the voice hard so explain just makes me want to see my dad agen he went to heaven in 2017 so I miss him so much thank you for your time
60-70's Charger/Challenger is the most bad ass cars ever built!
Oh God, please take me back to the 70's.
he should know better than trying to use a shotgun out a charger's window, never ends well
Just ask the bad guys in Bullitt! Their last gas station visit ended pretty badly!
BTW, the badass driving the Charger in "Bullitt" was the same badass driving the Bonneville in "The Seven-Ups" chase.
bill hickman... a legend. I'll always remember the face on his passenger in the chase in that movie, a look of total stunned awe and a good bit of fear as he whipped that whale through traffic in what had to have been a pants-shitting experience no matter how much choreography was involved (he gets the credit for that too because he was also the choreographer). I could never tell how much of that face was real, but seeing the driving I believe there wasn't any acting involved.
+Bob Joe Especially on those 4-wheel temporary spares.
I've always hated the movies for destroying old muscle cars !
Having seen the original Vanishing Point "first run", double featured w/Easy Rider at an Indy drive-inn in 1971, I must say THIS IS ONE LAME MOVIE! Dad burned the tires in our '67 Coronet 500 pulling out, after "Captain America & Billy" and "Kowalski" died...as did practically everyone. The drive-inn "cop" just looked away...heh heh. That was a great summer!! Dang, now I'm nostalgic, missing my Mom & Dad. Dumb-ole CZcams anyway...
I saw the one with Barry Newman !
The whole movie was unreal and the actors mediocre. Only the cars were good.
That was the point.
+ElCid48 "The whole movie was unreal" That is solid gold.
I agree, the first one was WAY better. This one it seemed like they thought how can we keep it as close as we can to the original but really screw it up. Worst part was the ending. They should never have added the commentary
Nowhere near as good as the original film in the 70's
Bail out at 180 miles, we need mythbusters
old skool chargers and challengers. it doesn't get any better than this.
So, what was wrong with the original film that it had to be re-made Badly?
6:12 I can imagine this is what it's like for a driver in the miniature hotwheels car when you crash them off the track.
I watched this movie when I was in the Army in 1975. It was one the most traumatic car movies that I had ever seen .....
If you saw it in 1975, you saw the classy 1971 original. This is the shitty 1997 remake.
Haha! "Hit those bulldozers at over 180mph." My ass... That challenger would be the size of a super sub-compact car if it did that. Not to mention the bulldozers would be seriously hurting.
"Takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" 😉😎🐦
That barrel roll in the sheriff's Charger. That's why we wear seat belts.
I love the original Vanishing Point, as it portrays something of the nihilism of late Vietnam-era US culture with Barry Newman and a white Challenger on the road to nowhere. This remake was so godawful that I was rooting for the bulldozers...

A MEN.............................
Thank God they wrecked a camaro at the end and not a Challenger.
Amen brother. I damn near fainted at the ending of the original. A few years later I found out it was a cookie cutter GM thing. Phew!
Lonnie Cavenee. Very good !!! It was a 1968 camaro??
I have had like 15 camaro !! Only have 2 now !! Big GM fan ,
The end of the remake used a Challenger
@@PUNCHYOURFACEreal nope, it was a Camaro. I have the movie on DVD and it shows the Camaro hitting the bulldozers in the making of the movie
Dodge Charger one of my favourite cars of all time.. along with Del boy and Rodney's TIT van and the Oldsmobile from the Blues Bro's..
I saw the original. Have not bothered watching the remake. On a side note, raced a superB w/ the 440 interceptor against my 455-at 90 going on 100 mph - he looked at me, smiled, and just WALKED AWAY from my damn 455 like it was nothing!!!!

I love car chase movies, real car chase movies from before , nowadays they're mostly cgi car chases.
Proud to say I owned one of each only my Charger was a 1970 also
That's cool mine was a 73 and a 73 charger 69 super Bee 383 4 speed 69 Coronet 440 got to love them mopars 🍀get R done 😎✌️ oh yeah 74 power wagon and a 100 3-speed column shift and now 2019 ram classic two-door square box 5.7 hemi 🥳
I can’t believe they wrecked that Charger like that...like, STOP 🛑
This isn't the Vanishing Point I remember .. must be a remake.
IT TAKES A MOPAR TO CATCH A MOPAR ! HELL YEAHHHH
the Angel waiting always gets me bad
This sounds is music for my ears
Rip to a camaro and an 68 charger, when the car exploded the wheels turned into five spoke cragars
I dont even watch movies that wreck nice old cars. At least with, say, Bullitt the cars were brand new 68's.
The E body by Chrysler, was the sexiest thang.
So the Challenger hits the buckets of two front end loaders at 185 mph and they don't budge. Considering the force of the impact would have destroyed everything in sight, should have just done it.
IIRC, in the original version it was a monstrous great Caterpillar, a D9 or something of the like.
Movie magic.
Makes me want to rewatch DeathProof again!!
this movie is one of the best for studying the sediments laid down then washed away during the stages of The Flood about 4,360 years ago.
I absolutely HATE Hollywood for what they've done to so many beautiful cars. Such a waste.
Saw the original at 11 yrs old. My grandmother bought the tickets for a "car" movie. Can't watch this version.
The remake is no where as good as the original.
Yes the Original is better for sure but the remake was not bad in my opinion better then a lot of remade movies that's for sure
I like this better than original. Because acting was better. I LOVE CHARGERS and Challengers I owned a 2015 hemi challenger
Thats the dude from "A history of violence"
Some movies should never be remade...this was one of them!!!
Sexy cars though!!
can someone tell me the title of the soundtrack with the angel's voice at the end of the movie, please
Saw this film when in Junior High...cool
First a 68 charger then a 70 challenger, why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
They are killin old cars for movies
Speed doesn't kill. It's the sudden stops that get ya.
Beat styled muscle cars we ever had came from the mid sixties to seventies.
I saw this in 1997 when I was 8 on fox 53
What’s that version of “gimme shelter” in the final credits, can’t find it anywhere?
I’ll ask Aragorn.
Clip was interesting but in no way is this even close to the original.
Mopar or no car.
Dear Hollywood: STOP KILLING CLASSIC MOPARS! :D
First movie was better,good movie
"Much damage?"
"You should see the damage, bronze!"
How are they taking the arial shots if there’s no “chopper”?
Why bother remaking this film before the new Challengers came out?
I flipped a car going that fast once…it was a 1995 Honda Del Sol Si with a Honda 2.2L H22A4 DOHC VTEC swapped in _(which came available after a family friend’s 1997 Honda Prelude got rolled over by a giant construction vehicle, so, the shop where the car ended up & deemed it a _total loss_ called my dad, I was making tons of money doing graphic design, web programming & I bought the motor for $2700, used the 5-speed which was already in the car (as far as I know)…
I was racing it against my best friend since second grade who was in a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX…I have no physical memory of the crash or the summer surrounding that accident, I remember waking up in a Hospital Bed , the girl who’d been me secretary all that summer lying in the hospital bed with a nylon net around it, and I remember she was crying, hugging me, I had no idea what was going on…
Original Vanishing Point was better - several cars destroyed in film. No computer graphics. Very dangerous all real stunts.
No CGI in this one either, just some fire added at the end. Real cars, purpose-built.
One dead scum-maro at the end.
all those pinnacles in the area show that many millions of tons of wet sediments flowed away in the years after The Flood about 4,350 years ago.
This is the hardest choice a Charger Rt or Challenger both beautiful!!! But I think I would go with the CHARGER!! Ever since Dirty Mary Crazy Larry that's been my car but still is a hard choice!!👍👍
The extra double takes in the uploaders editing killed this.
Is that Aragorn ?
Skodz Gaming yes
Yeah, he's ridin' like a different kind of Ranger here!
MOTHERFUCKER 7LIVES VIGGO !!!... YEAH !!!
In the original film they had the decency to have a Camaro plow into the bulldozers. In this they destroyed 2 perfectly awesome Mopar's. Pathetic.
Life in the 413 they said they were junked after production except for 1 n think they are still trying to find it don't remember if it was a fact or rumor I love 69 Charger n 70 Challenger RT with pistol grip 4 speed they we're fucken CAR'S!!
STILL GOT MY 1969 DODGE CORONET "SUPER BEE". BOUGHT IT NEW.
HEMISUPERBEE426 DAVID you lucky
No seat belts, just hold on to the dash💪😂
Lol if that car hit that ‘wall’ at 185mph there’d be no car no nothing especially in front of the blades
Great video and had to watch it again.
Is it just me or a shame to tear up such nice cars, fuckin Hollywood!!
he did the same thing again a few years back you would think he would learn
