    The original I watched in 1973 at the drive-in cinama Latrobe Valley Victoria Australia. Barry Newman was the star and it was a Sunday night and the drive-in was packed with every row full of wannabe hot rodders driving their souped up machines. It was an extraordinary movie, and one that sits in the memory banks as a very special movie on a very special night. Amazingly enough it was the most humble exit of hot rod cars I ever seen, all paying their respects to Mr. Kowalski. A rare gem that still shines brightly today.

    My first vehicle I bought was a 1970 Dodge Challenger, when I was in the Marine Corps in 1972. Had to have my mother co-sign for me. It only had a 318 CI V-8 engine and automatic tranny in it. Wow, I loved that car with its dark green metal flake paint. I had put L-60 tires and "Anson Sprint" rims on the back and air shocks with "Craigers" rims on the front, which got me a few speeding tickets. For a 19 year old at the time, I was in heaven! "Vanishing Point" got me into loving Challengers and Cuda's. Thanks so much. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.

C-3 Vette but building it like it deserves with a 10-71 billet blower top with two stages of Nitrous on big block Chevy 540 ci. No radio, no carpet, no a/c, no power steering, just 1500+ HP to drive to Kroger parking in the handicap parking wheelie bars, DOT approved drag slick with big old smile on my face. Plus at my age days or months or if luck a couple years and won't be able to get in or out the car. Then I find a young man that would this ride sign the title give him the keys and walk or maybe wobble away with my memories of the Last Street Magic leaving with the music of the Hooker Super Competition header side pipes making music with whine of alcohol blower on the roads of Georgia... Fun of being old with no strings but freedom of my faith....yee haw the last time...P.S. tomorrow the 14 th, I finish the car and get the tag driving it home after a 3 year build.

      I bought it in the early 80's, changed the top and rims in '84, rebuild the engine in '89, new interior in '91, and drove it until '03 (summers only).
      With kids keeping me busy and having health problems, I drove it into my barn in 2003 and parked it (dry concrete floor).

Off-the-wall has its own value and does not need to justify itself by tying into more conventional motives and plot devices. The connection between Kowalski and Super Soul didn't make sense either, but it was part of the same off-the-wall spirit that made the original such a classic. The theme song, "Where Do We Go From Here?" is one of the great movie intro tunes of all time and sets up the main idea, about a wild run for freedom coming to an inevitable end.

    I’m at the end of the 70s, being born in 79. But my father was an American muscle man along with uncles that showed me how to tweak the old school American muscle maniac monsters. Imagine walking into a garage with these types of old schools, engines, roaring. Letting you know that there’s no school like the old school. Movies like this in this era is the reason why I still work on old schools and old schools. I built a custom double cab, 1941 Chevy pick up and made it a flatbed, suicide doors, beer kegs for gas tanks, and a 454 four barrel carburetor, five speed NV 4500 that I drive as my main truck. We need to keep these old schools alive. Because if we don’t, these gen z’s what real cars look like. I’m currently putting together a 65 Buick wildcat convertible, which is going to be a beast. I don’t see too many chargers out there, but I know they exist. I wish I could get my hands on one myself.

    Original starred Barry Newman.
    I have no problem with this one.
    Actually he is made more spiritual as he is drug free.
    Not even cigarettes or alcohol and his connection with the Mountain Lion and the Shaman on the rez makes for a cleaner take or essentially a saintly personage/ villain and demonizes the law-turned-antagonist.

On the original, I saw it with my date at the drive-in, from the back seat of my white '64 Chevelle Malibu. I was working at the Veteran's cemetery in MPLS and every day I imagined cutting onto '94W on-ramp as my escape from the world of working for the man. I finally did it two years later.

    It Is a good movie and well worth a watch but cannot be compared to the original. Really should have given it a different title 👍

      I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the original. This telling of the story made more sense but was not as 'iconic' as the original.

    1971 vs 1997
    Pretty decent driving scenes. Be nice if we could see the 1971. version, but this was worth watching.

    The original move, Vanishing Point, was made and released in 1971. This is a remake of the 1971 movie done in 1997.
    @4:00, his wife is 8 months pregnant, but apparently bed-ridden? @7:50, he asks his wife, (who's now out of bed and washing dishes), "How'd you like having your baby in a hospital versus at home?" Bear in mind that this is 1997, NOT 1897, lol.

    This was a good remake of the original ... Held its own.
    I got into the muscle cars, '68 Road Runner and '71 Challenger, and high crazy speeds as a teen and early 20s - by God's grace I'm still alive after the mid to late 1970s.
    That got my baby brother exposed ... He still into the Mopar muscles with a nice '72 convertible with a 340 and also a newer white Hellcat.

      Each to there own.never liked any mopar ..loved to race them back in the 70&80's..Pontiac big blocks in GM cars always been my way to go.one of witch I was never beat by a Ford or mopar with hundreds of races under my belt and that Pontiac Ventura with .455 .over 500 foot pounds of torque.. Kansas flat power band , light weight ..novas, omegas, ventures awesome cars to fix up for street / 1/4 mike

    • @antoniofreitas1629

      Like you said,@@hopebrowning6300 ... Each to their own.
      I had two friends - one a Chevy fanatic-fan, and the other a Ford-man - who poured over their brands as if their god, especially the Chevy-man.
      I once owned a '71 Chevy Vega ... Modified it to the max ... Cut the firewall and moved it as far back as I could (right against the edge of the door). Stripped it to nothing and shoved a 440 Magnum in it, followed by a whole Dodge high-stall transmission and Dana axle. I had the engine and bought the Vega for the project.
      For radiator, I had to go with the GM type because of the low profile but wider than the Chrysler, so I went with one from a Pontiac.
      So, as you can see, I was not a fanatic of Detroit brands, but got the best from the street that I could afford at the time, and made a lightening fast 1/4-mile machine.
      Back in those days, the Chrysler and Dana together made the best and more solid drivetrain available for the street. Even many knowledgeable semi-pro racers modified Chrysler trannies to attached to their Chevy drag racing engines.
      I loved, and still do, some Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Ford, and Mercury models, but, of all, I had a much greater appreciation for the Chevy small block engine, and still do. It is a naturally well designed engine, and always make a great Hot-Rod engine to show-off and very easy to perk up.
      Nowadays I have become a Value-Oriented man and looking for the best, most durable vehicle ... That always comes down to the Japanese, not Detroit.
      I still remember, fondly, those days, but life moves on and I have to try and be wiser and move with the times.

    I had no idea they even made this. I got so excited seeing this on my feed.
    Haven't started watching yet, but reading the comments im going to give it a try. Knowing todays generation, its going to be on par to fast-n-furious nonsense.
    But we'll see...

      So this one was cheesy even in '97. It made a fun attempt at the original, but nothing was going to top that. There were a lot of these almost straight to VHS road movies around that time. My personal favorite would be The Forsaken. Lots of car fu with just enough plot to be coherent.

    This may not be the original version but it's certainly "Vanishing point" . I remember seeing the original and this follows that.
    Whatever, it's still a damned good movie.
