- Thrills, spills and a handful of pills. It all adds up to one of the most spectacular car chases in motion picture history! Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, the last American hero, who set out to prove that he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in just fifteen hours. Along the way, he meets an old prospector (Dean Jagger), a snake worshipper, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a blind D.J. (Cleavon Little) who "sees" danger ahead in this super-charged, action-packed adventure!

Vanishing Point | #TBT Trailer | 20th Century FOX
/ foxmovies
This movie has special meaning to me. In June and July 1973 I was 19 and riding my bicycle alone from NYC to California, in the days when it was the flagship state of the U.S. I made it a bit less than halfway to California by bicycle to Iowa and then hitched out the rest of the way to California. I was in Denver kind of stranded for several days and staying in a YMCA with 5 other beds (and strangers) in the room. I was alone and 2000 miles from home and 1000 miles from a friend in California I was going to. My situation was basically a blues song. In Denver I saw this movie and Kowalski was taking the same route I was about to take to San Francisco (also before the city got ruined). I finally got out to San Francisco and then down to southern California where I had an amazing time discovering a region so different from the NYC I grew up in. This movie will always remind me of that very special summer.
Thank you for sharing that!

Incredible story, thank you.
Rock on you only have one life

RIP Barry Newman. You have made it to the light between the blades.
RIP Barry Newman. I loved this movie as a kid!
I saw this movie in 1971 when I was 6 yrs old. Every time I watch this movie I tear up, I think partly because the first time, I was young enough that it upset me that Kowalski died, and secondly that I have developed a bottomless pit of love for mopar big block 4 speeds. I have been collecting and building mopars since 1987 and I'm currently building a black '68 Coronet 440 4spd.
MOPAR. !!! or. NO. CAR !!!
Mopar RULED the 70s!
thanks for the spolier
jerk why do you have to spoil it
One of the best "road movies" ever made. Promoted as a thrills and spills action movie, it's actually more than that with its depiction of the existential crisis of a typical late 60s'/early 70s' anti-hero. A very young and hauntingly beautiful Charlotte Rampling has a brief part as a mysterious female hitchhiker. A cult classic well worth watching.
Definitely gets overlooked as a movie that was a goodbye to the carefree 60s
An underrated film. It was a great road movie that epitomized hippie culture. And the car chase cinematography was phenomenal.
Every movie is underrated in the
UA-cam comment section.
@@crimedramadvdhotspot7720 this comment is underrated
One of my all time favorite films. The soundtrack is absolutely awesome as well.

After finishing high-school, I had a '70 Challenger 440 + 6 for a couple of years. Mine was Sublime Green, and unfortunately automatic but when you punched it, and heard, first the front 2bbl open, and then the back one...nothing like it!!...and kids today put a megaphone on their Hondas and think they have a "hot-rod"... lol Got clocked at 137 by a North Carolina Statie, and he actually cut me a break, as I was in the service. Still had a big ticket but better than a night in jail. Never forget that car...
This film was also shown in the GDR from November 1975 under the title "Grenzpunkt Null" and from then on again and again. I must have seen him a dozen times. It became a cult film for our youth, along with the film "Blutige Erdbeeren" (The Strawberry Statement), which was released two years earlier.
We ignored the criticism of the American dream and drug abuse, which probably motivated those responsible to make the purchase. For us as teenagers, it was the dream of freedom that wafted down to us from the screen: shimmering heat over an endless desert, wild car races against the police, cool guys, singing hippies, soul radio and of course the naked girl on the bike. Everything about it was rebellious and had a great attraction for us.
Consequently, the film was a huge success in the GDR with sold-out cinemas in every small town, while it found hardly any viewers in West Germany. And when I see it again today (thanks to a pirated VHS copy from the 90s 😉), the magic still works. A really recommendable piece of youth that will never come back!
All men yearn for that freedom. That's because we are tethered to the ground and know that we will never be as free as the birds.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 I don't think this applies to all men, and why not women too? Back then, we didn't lack bird wings, but rather the real chance of ever seeing these places of longing in the course of our lives. That made the little escapes all the more valuable.
"Why not women, too?"
Maybe women, too I don't know. I've been trying to figure out how women think my whole life and have failed miserably.
@@LuckyBaldwin777 Yeah, I have the same experience again and again. This is because they cannot think, but can only feel and then rationalize what they feel afterwards. 🙈
I can't even remember how long ago I saw this movie,,But I remember it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time,,,A continuous car chase,, how can you beat that..the ending was epic
I saw this in the theater, double feature, Vanishing Point and The Omega Man. Some classic cinema.
That E-Type value went sky-rocketed today 1:25
RIP Kowlaski ...Godspeed
Rest in Peace Kowalski.
There will be no other movie like this. It captured the era with all its wonder and rawness
I saw this movie some 50 plus odd years ago with my mother brother and Jonsie❤🤍💜🎉 God bless you all who were part of my life and a big part of my growing up experience.back then (circa 1970 - 1978) ☔☀️♥️🤍💙 🇺🇲
Rest in Peace, Mr. Newman. :*(
OMG! The movie from my childhood! I was a small kid when I watched it and mr. Kowalski was my idol. Like for other young boys who loves fast cars.
Dean Jagger was brilliant as the crazed desert rattlesnake harvester. And Cleavon Little as Super Soul gave a poignant performance as Kowalski’s (Barry Newman) Guardian Angel. I first saw this with my late best friend, Kevin, and it will always hold a special place in my heart, because it was something that he and I jointly experienced while tripping on LSD.
Good driving Barry and stuntman.
Steve McQueen's "Bullet" and Barry Newman's "Vanishing Point" are two of the best car chase movies.
also .... it was a REMAKE of the "Vanishing Point" somewhere in the middle of the 90's .... I have BOTH on DVD !!!!
When I was a kid and seen Bullet, it took me 2 weeks of selling everything I owned to own a 68 fastback mustang.
I would add the french connection to that list
@@dasboot5903 the remake was terrible compared to the original, looked like a tv movie
Agreed! My brother took me to the drive in to see Vanishing Point when I was 9 or so.
Wow, this is a beautiful movie, there is excitement, there is attraction, a movie that accelerates life

I know the producer of this film, Norman spencer, he’s 106 years old and he still gets sent cheques for this film.
and deserves every penny.
Wow. His residuals last that long? Good for him. :D I like hearing folks, especially ones who are blessed to get to such an advanced age, still getting some revenue from their work in the past :D
OMG !!!! Good for him !!!! He should enjoy any penny he is still receving for this movie ..... one of the BEST American timeless film production !!!! Thank you Mr. Norman from POLAND !!!!
SPANGLEDANGLE do you know the naked girl on the mini-bike ?
@@daveh.folster7422 She's a Grandmother now.
This movie has a special meaning to me as well. I was 5 when it came out so I didn’t see it at the theaters. I caught it a few years later on late night movies on TV.
So a 7 year old kid sees a fast car and bang you have his attention. I was already a burgeoning gear head. I had no idea what his issues were, and all of what this film was really about was out of my 7 year old mind.
But then something interesting happened. The local Independent TV station would play the film a couple of times a year. So as the years went on I watched Vanishing Point and saw it totally different from that first time.
The Dodge Challenger was my favorite car. I was kind of excited when Dodge resurrected it in 2008. Motor Trend magazine actually did a story and had Barry Newman, dressed as Kowalski!
This one film has grown with me since I was 7. And I think it really doesn’t get the love it should.
The longest running Dodge commercial ever made
Mopar rules!
A nice memory
I enjoyed the naked girl on the bike as a very young boy in the mid 70,s
Maybe no big deal these days but to a very young boy this was huge in the middle 70’s
🤣
خوبه
عالی
Cleavon Little, before he was sheriff of Rock Ridge! I saw this back in 71. COOL!
My Father's all time favorite movie. Cult classic at its finest.

Turns 50 today!
I like how the whole thing is essentially a big chase from start to finish. The car scenes are amazingly filmed and exciting. Barry Newman is likable being anti-establishment and representing the counterculture of the era.
It touches on a variety of different issues being experienced during that time - racism, homophobia, and feelings of oppression - all of which are still applicable in today’s society. Some good existential and mythical undertones.
It was the weirdos that accused Kowalski of thinking they were queers and laughing at them. All he did was pick them up and got jumped and threw them out so no, he was not a homophobe. These feelings you expressed are all in your mind. Caucasians get a bad rap and movies are just movies. Usually its them that gets jumped in real life, not minorities and police are actually the good guys but minorities will not comply and so the tables are turned on the cops. The best thing is to comply and stay out of trouble. This so called "racism" and "homophobe" bs is all in your mind. Its used to push an agenda.
@@randallamps no matter what you think tho the movie does talk about those things. Racist cops beat up super soul and mock him for being black. And the two queer car jackers accused Kowalski of being a homophobe but he clearly isn't as he generously picked them up. Doesn't matter how you see things, those themes are put into the movie and depicted as bad ideologies.
@@randallampsok boomer
@@liamcox7057 Imho, the queer scene is more nuanced than that.
The acting and lines suggest they didn't plan this, just got overimaginative, because discrimination and mistreatment is what they probably always experienced, and in their mind probably wanted to have a revenge.
Not much in this movie is actually simple and straightforward. Every time something bad or strange happens, there is more than one way to look at it.
Even the Super Soul beatup scene; yes, the cops in the movie are racist, but if you look at it from their perspective, it's that Super Soul breaks comms and bunch of other laws to assist a guy who's broke most of existing traffic code rules, caused mayhem on the roads in three states and could have repeatedly caused a fatal accident involving multiple victims. It's not strange that they're angry.
This movie was actually purchased by the East Block and displayed a lot as anti-American propaganda. Things like poverty, racism or drugs officially didn't exist in the East Block, so the USSR and other Warsaw Pact countries would buy such movies to show the West in bad light.
RIP Chris Cornell and Cleavon Little.
God bless their souls ++
I saw this movie in the fall of 1971 along with "The Panic in Needle Park". Two great shows.
Very nice this movie, bests scenes car chases
Rest in peace Kowalski 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
He returned for 1997 movie and then escaped.
#TBT Trailer: Watch carefully. Everything happens fast. The chase. The desert. The girl. The roadblock. The end. Vanishing Point.
heheh... great...
Watch it in SLOOOOOOOOOOW MOOOOOOOOOO
@@Moondoggy1941 That be one righteous speedball !!!
Favourite 😍 film of all-time must have watched it at least 50 times
I remember seeing this at the drive-in theater.
I have owned 5 old school Challengers and 3 of the new school Challengers.
I remember drinking beer sitting at an outdoor screen showing @ Camp Lejeune, NC in 1970...
Can we just stop and appreciate the pistol walnut handle grip shifter. I drive a 7.5l 76 thunder bird .... you can't put a price on a feeling.
I remember going to the drive in with my family, I was the youngest, and this was the 2nd movie that played. When the naked lady rode up on the motorcycle, everyone else's hands went over my eyes. Missed it!😄
I was ordered to dig in the cooler for the cokes and missed it
So, they let you watch all the violence, destruction, drugs and crazy driving. That was ok. But god's most beautiful creation, the body of a woman, was of limits? Man, that is so American.
For a long time I thought the naked biker was Marcia Brady 😂
*One of the best American made movies ever made, and I have ever seen in my whole life !!!!*
Nowadays .... it is already an American Classic from 70's, eh ?? :o))
Mr. Barry Newman starring as a Polish descent car driver named *KOWALSKI* - he was at the pick of his the best acting performance !!!! WoW )))))
Underated . Loved it in 71.
Love it today 🔥
my sister dated barry about '75--he never mentioned he was movie star til one time somebody walked up to them and mentioned it
A classic. Saw it on tv in the 80s.
My 21 hellcat redeye widebody continues the legend!!!
RIP Barry Newman
RIP Barry Newman.
Amazing details in this movie if you're sharp and on the ball enough to notice them
To anyone saying this car was supercharged; it’s not. Not irl and not in the movie. We hear Kowalski say to his dealer that the car ‘has been hopped up to over 160’ and later the police say over the radio that ‘they have reasons to believe this car is supercharged’. That’s it. They probably said it because the car is indeed much faster than their cars. The Challenger was probably tuned or modified slightly (probably only an adjusted final drive) to allow the high top speeds to allow Kowalski to outrun the police vehicles so easily, but not more than that
Yea you got that can tell you not supercharging you would hear it and i never saw one and I saw them from new
I will not inviting you out for a few beers with the guys you boring know-all
One of my all time faves. Mississippi Queen and Clevon showered this film in historic pantheon.
+Lynn Syvante: I saw this as a junior in high school in much smaller than now Tucson, Arizona....at the Prince Rd. Drive in. Took the most beautiful gal in town to it...drove my Dad's 67 Ford Galaxie 500 4dr. You mentioned "Mississippi Queen" by the band Mountain with Leslie West. I specifically remember when that song came thru that little window speaker during that movie...oh man...it sounded SO frickkin' good to me! Of course I had a little weed buzz going....that enhanced it. Hard to believe it was nearly 50 yrs. ago. I drive by where the old Prince Rd. drive in theatre was at least weekly. It's now nice apartments, but some of the perimeter's big old trees are still alive...and it makes me feel good to know they still exist. Time is so weird. God Bless jbeintucson
I remember seeing this at the movies as a young lad - those were some amazing car chase scenes for sure 😊
Best road-movie I ever seen... Seen it at least ten times... :-).
The funniest part of the movie was the blinking light bulb road map board they used to track him!😂 talk about technology!😂 click click, ding ding!
yeah man just seen that!!!!
Yeh it sounded like an old pinball machine
Alas, no-one makes movies this good any more.
this might be an amusing movie. it is not, however, a good one.
@@davidb.livingstone7785 Good that you let movie critics run your brain. After all, it's not like they are being paid to sell movies to people that are made by the same people who sign their checks. Of course, everyone knows a movie about a car couldn't be good never mind a low-budget one. You can go show off to everyone at the office at all the different HBO shows you watch if that makes you feel like a better human being. I'm sure the companies have happily added your monthly subscription payments to their already large coffers.
@@stickman1742 Vanishing Point actually got largely very good reviews. And it inspired Tarantino's Grindhouse down to him even using the same car- a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, with a 440 cubic-inch V-8.
Don't knock the new movies.... after all, I think "Spiderman 6,279" is coming out soon...... cough, cough.
@@marksavage1744 I have no memory of typing the original comment 4 years ago but I'm going to stand by it. 😎
Car stunts in the old days were so badass
And real. Well, no CGI.
A lot of things back in the 70s were badass!..... especially the muscle cars. Glad to have experienced the 60s and 70s.
Rest Easy Kowalski...
This movie is soooo good. Do yourself a favour in lockdown and watch it, even if you've already seen it
0:45 Thanks everybody!
Its September 2020. Why did this just show up in my recommended list?
Boy o' boy!! Cause you know good times are just round the corner.. JUST KNOW IT, AND YOU DO TOO!!
You are right, me too.. this show as recommended video for me. Strange
@@evm6177 Good things are coming !!
Because you tube has tested positive for covid!
They are so busy demonetizing people they got behind.
I bet whoever was waiting for that car to be delivered was PISSED!
This movie is awesome one of my favorite movies of all time
Bullit
I saw this movie at 19 in the theater. Went out that next Monday and bought a new 1970 Road Runner. Traded my 1967 SS Chevell.
Have you ever had any regrets? I grew up in an area where everyone had some form of 60's-70's muscle, top 3 was SS Chevell, '68 GTX, and a 'Cuda. But one had a purple Road Runner which I always loved! :D
Mopar or no car!
terratrodder no regrets I traded the RR for a 69 Shelby GT500. Learned girls liked the Shelby it had AC. In South Georgia summer it made a big difference.
Bob Weiss I never was loyal to one make. My uncle thought me that limited your outlook and fun.
That's funny. I watched this movie and bought a 70 charger the next month. That 440 was the best running gas motor I ever owned.
Fav movie of all time. Went through three Challengers because of this film.
I bet it sold a bunch of them back then. Just like Bullit sold a bunch of Mustangs.
@@banjoist123 Still selling them to this day!
0:45 lawd have mercy!
one of my favourite...its so satisfying.no words!!!!
Back in the 60s and 70s Chrysler was the auto supplier for 20th Century-Fox studios. When "Bullit" came out Chrysler wasn't happy with the Ford Mustang being 'the hero' car in the famous chase scene and the Dodge Charger going up in flames. So, Chrysler wanted to 'get even' by having one of their muscle cars to 'star' in a picture. Richard Zanuck, the head of Fox was happy to oblige with this 2 hour 'thank you' to Chrysler for all their years of supply cars to the studio.
I think Chrysler also had the auto concession for ABC-TV. Seems like in all their shows of the 60’s & 70’s everybody drove something of theirs. The Mod Squad had a ‘Cuda, The Brady Bunch had a Chrysler station wagon and a Challenger convertible. It was probably Starsky & Hutch and Charlie’s Angels who broke tradition with the Ford Torino and Mustangs
great movie! a true classic!
RIP Barry Newman

😔🙏💔🌹⭐
Only Barry Newman original movie works,no remake!!
I remember when I first saw this movie at a drive in theater. I used to drive past the biker bar in the beginning everyday on my way to work and going home. But I never knew it was even filmed there to than.
Jokes aside - laugh. laugh laugh - this is art and the only ever extended automobile extended advert ever made. Art.

Man they showed nearly all of the best parts of the movie.
I was 11ish, and this movie was the second part of a double feature, first movie being Tora, Tora, Tora! My dad, being a WWII vet really wanted to see Tora, Tora, Tora, and my mom saw "Vanishing" and instantly thought the second movie was Vanishing Prairie. When the nude motorcycle rider came on the screen my poor parents were mortified! This movie was a real eye-opener for us kids. Lol My brother's best friend had a Dodge Challenger, and this movie made him preen!
Crazy !!!
The stuntmen did risky work.
this is back when men were men and women were women. that blonde was incredible.
Sadly true…
ITS A PARADOX THEIR IS NO AWNSER!!!
lmao! yeah, seriously...
Yeah.... He picks up 2 homosexuals in this flick...
alejandromolinac Didn't he kicked them out of the car
Esse filme é incrível
this and Two Lane Blacktop were either the most deeply, subtly insightful....or the most simplest car movies.
Yeah...
Bruce Springsteen’s favourite movie.
You are here from the Colbert show as well I see. Lol
Saw the Colbert show too,, sorry to say l found the remake first. It's a free download with Viggo Mortonson. Also good, but pretty sure this is the action film that is Bruce's talking about.
50 years ago!
"This radio station was named Audioslave in honor of the last american heros, to whom speed meant freedom of the soul. The question is not when they're gonna stop, but who's gonna stop 'em."
00:45 - that's what i came for:)) Natural beauty!!!
Love this movie so much.
Great movie
Imagine, talking everyday like the talk over guy, ha ha
Lol
I'd love to meet someone talking like that lol
Thanks seen this when it came out
Love this movie, had a 90's VHS copy which on the cover summed the whole film up perfectly in just eight word;
The Car
The Desert
The Girl
The End
And every one of the four a thing of beauty.
The end was err ... terminal!
واخمیکنیمیکنیمیشکرمیکنی
Saw this when I was 18, double bill with Prudence and the Pill. Yes the movie was life changing. Yes I did by a Challenger a few years later. To understand the ending you have to be aware of the time on the screen every time he approaches the caterpillars , watch it again, write the times down, it will blow your mind
I live right where much was filmed and think of the movie whenever I am on the road in the exact place... I was 10 then and living elsewhere.. Never figured I'd live here ...
Where at? I think I do too. Been trying to find out for sure.
@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 From Glenwood Springs Co. (the jump) Grand Jundtion Co. (the drive across the Median) and Cisco Utah, (the beginning and end Dozer scene with crash )
I have seen this movie so many times over the years or regular tv (before cable), then finally I got to see the uncut theater version, WOW it was a great movie. Just wish I could have seen it on a big screen in a theater
Cleavon Little was awesome.
@@BigFordCountry84 Super Soul was a Bad MoFo!
Luve this move how can I buy it please
a highway patrolman from our town did a small part on the nevada utah border hwy 50. He also used to chase me and my buddies around trying to bust us for pot, He didn't catch the guy in the movie or us. Officer Bart Hamilton.Those were great times
Now this is how you make a fuckin' trailer.
Oh wow- I remember watching this in the theater........ now the flashbacks
Ahhh, back in the days when we were still fighting the power instead of being institutionalized sycophants to the Man looking for an authority to follow instead of trying to outrun on some long, lonely stretch of Utah desert. I miss those days. The soundtracks were better then too (with Tarantino being an exception to that part of my comment!).

Had a 69 RoadRunner, in 71. Had a Honda 350 Scrambler and a chick that looked like that back in 69. Whar a time. !!!!!!!
The 1970 Dodge Challenger is the sexiest car on the planet! Right next to the 68, 69, 70 Charger!
Sovereign Knight the absolute scariest Day ever been in my life was when a friend of mine took me for a ride in his 70 challenger 440 magnum down a 2 mile straight away! I was 16 at the time. I thought my 68 camaro was fast as hell! I was wrong!!! The sad part was he started out in second gear!😳
That was a good film. Heck of an ending though. Didn't see it coming.
great movie !
Oh my word. This movie was the first time I had EVER seen any sort of nudity anywhere..much less on the big screen. And it HAD to be at a drive-in with my PARENTS. I. WAS. MORTIFIED.
I had the opportunity to work security on the set of another movie where I met and talked to the blonde girl and her portrayed boyfriend from Vanishing Point. An interesting fact is she had sat on the bike's seat after it had been in the hot desert sun. She suffered a bad burn on her butt.
Holy moly! I sat on a hot motorcycle seat WITH SHORTS ON! ONCE! After that, I made sure to bring a bottle of water to wet the seat down. It would evaporate in about 3 seconds, but it would help. I imagine she screamed loud and long!
I have to thank this movie for influencing me to go out and get a Dodge Challenger, best purchase of my life.
neoasura Please show us your Challenger
Huxxy you’re welcome! Slow down a little every now and then!😂 your heart ain’t as tough as that 440 magnum brother!👍
@@huss03 what ups? yeah man I got some ups back at the house

Cool car. Do you still have it?
Are you a good mechanic??? Look up the cars with most problems. Challenger is at top of the list.
So weird how Disney technically owns this movie now
One of the first movies I ever saw in theaters
