Back in '97 I was a 12 year old kid when I saw the film, but I fell in love with the Challenger. 15 years later I've got one in my garage, a total wreck mind you, but with some loving, time and money I reckon it will hell of a beauty one day
In 1971 version it was so unexpectable ending so i was shocked when he crushed into bulldozers and nothing more happened. 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
Vanishing Point is just one of those classic movies that should be left alone! This remake is just pure junk which insults the intelligence of the audience.

At least we got a fucking good car chase that isn’t as commonly scene anymore; 2 Badass Mopars duking it out in a battle between the Hemi and the Magnum
I'm going to task myself with watching this remake so I may change my opinion, but from what I've read, the remake is....lets call it the "Institutions Version". The 70's version came out of a time of social revolt where drugs, sex, and fredom where the message and the story was a rebellion against the authorities. This new tame version dulls all of that down to make the movie just about the chase, with no political message in sight. In short, it's censorship.
Vanishing Point came out in 71. I was 8 years old when Uncle Howie decided he wanted to watch it in Las Vegas. Uncut and uncensored on broadcast TV. This was the poorly done remake. Viggo is no Barry Newman and Jason Priestley is definitely not Cleavon Little as Super Soul.
@Guitargod130 the car they rolled and the car they used in the chase were two completely different cars. the one that was flipped was already junked. it was just made to look nice.
This is not the original VP. 71 is when the original debuted and every real Kowalski fan knows the Challenger was a 440 not a Hemi. I actually found a shot where you see the 440 badge on the hood. The reason us Mopar guys liked the remake is "It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" and the bumper sticker on the charger is classic lol. My wife, yes. My dog, maybe. My Dodge, NEVER!!!! MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!!!!
Wish I knew where they filmed this...looks like Arizona or some parts of Nevada. Hard to find a remote stretch of road like this anymore...pretty country too...
I own a '73 340 4spd challenger in plumcrazy purple....and I can confirm that a stock steering gear challenger doesn't handle well at all, but the straight line performance is bbbaaddd to the bone, at least with a 4.11 locker rear end ...top speed is about 110 at redline , I need some inner fender suggstions my car has no inner fenders what do I need to complete my car? My car runs great but I am thinking of swithing to fuel injetion, any thoughts? Also I have a spare ralley gauge dash that I'd like to sell any buyer's out there?
I watched this movie, i love it. This cops idiots and stupids pursuit Kovalski from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Kovalski is death in Idaho. I hate this ending😡😡😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
This is the Challenger R/T with 440 engine or 383? Very nice 68 charger R/T same thing is it the 440 Charger. I love those tail lamps on that 68 Charger R/T.
For car chase lovers I pose you check this edit. From the time of 3:28 to 3:32 when Kowalski hits the binders the sound-bite has been used before, 1977's Smokey and the bandit! When Bandit is told by "Frog" about the smokey 10-100 and the cop pursues, Bandit hits the brakes in a long skid scene, drifts around about 320 degrees and tears up the dirt road! Check it out!
Bloody cheap Hollywood! Or the crew charged with creating the special effects knew how good the sound track from Smokey was and decided not to re-invent the wheels...
I can't tell that is a Challenger, how can you tell its not a Charger? I've owned both and I can't tell while its flipping around. I do know in the movie they show the Charger at the body shop and it has a roll cage in it, just like the one at the start of the roll and the end of it.
@KR850 at least in the Dukes of Hazzard movie it's not completely destroyed, and in The Fast and the Furious it's never really written off just fixed everytime it's crashed
there called hideaway headlights,the lights are hidden behind the grill,and when you turn the light switch on ethier a vacum motor or electric motor opens the hideaway doors as the lights come on
Picturesque if nothing else. As far as car chases go, there wasn't a whole lot of tension, mostly due to the remote location and lack of traffic. But it picked up pretty well near the end. A lot of good burn out footage.
actually i herd that in the last scene where kowalski crashes the charger, they took out the engine an djust pulled the body along on a cable and blew that up
Yeah I am a huge fan on the 2 movies. There is a lot of fun stuff to learn about the first. Most people don't know the original car was green but painted white. Do a search its pretty fun stuff. God Bless.
*That was just a remake from 1997. Even if it was a way far away from the original classic from 1971 with Barry Newman, driver Kowalski is still kicking some cops assess* :o))
can't tell but I think what we saw crash was not the same charger...it could have been something else...but the tail lights did look like a charger. I think they probably found an old beat up one and crashed it.
@xSNEAKYFXx. in these old movies they used real cars but in movies nowadays they don't use actual american muscle cars they use fiberglass covers of the cars and put them on the chassis.
Those "tanks" are extremely fast out-of-the-box and look far better than anything that any other country has put out. No power adders here. Just straight-up American speed, power, and muscle, which is something that no other country in the world can claim during that era.
Dig the movie always have, but one thing always bugs me about movies like this. A 71 challenger isn't actually a very fast car, sure it has power, but those things are like driving a tank floating on marsh mellows.
@irarawkstarr In the movie, the Charger was that cop's personal car, and he brought it out to chase down the Challenger. You'll notice towards the beginning he said over the radio, "Have deputized Black Beast." Of course the Charger isn't a fleet vehicle, but damn it'd be nice if the cops did use them! If nothing else, we'd have some car porn rolling around the streets, although the new ones are a massive improvement over the damn Crown Vic.
Back in '97 I was a 12 year old kid when I saw the film, but I fell in love with the Challenger. 15 years later I've got one in my garage, a total wreck mind you, but with some loving, time and money I reckon it will hell of a beauty one day
Have you restored it ?
You have to love these old muscle car movies....great stuff.
The original is better.

Even though they had no way of knowing what a classic they were driving and wrecking, it still breaks my heart a little to see that roll.
Even in the late 90's those cars were still relatively cheap to buy
@@stevenmich7640 It seemed like it wasn't until around 2005 that the market started really shooting to the stars.
The car that was crashed at the end was a Camaro .
"He's got Covid-19, we can't let him get to a populated area, we end this pursuit any way possible!" "That town has only got 50 people!"
Actually he just didn't wear a mask.
my wife yes. my dog maybe. my Dodge... NEVER! LOL XD

Yeah, I didn't know it had remade it. Looks sh#t.

fully agree the original is the best which makes you think why do they even try dishing out this junk ...............
At least we got a fucking good car chase that isn’t as commonly scene anymore; 2 Badass Mopars duking it out in a battle between the Hemi and the Magnum
dodge charger vs dodge challenger MOPAR rules!
"GOOOOOUUUAAAAHH!!!" "NOOOO!!!" "OOOOOGGGHH!!!"
Man, that dialogue just jumped off the page with these pros!
Hollywood hasn't had any original ideas for over 20 years. If it weren't for the independent film, I would not have any new flix to enjoy.
I hope Dodge still makes parts for the classic Chargers. We're running out of them by now.
This was actually a very good film, interesting to see how Viggo Mortensen's come along since this was made!
I'm going to task myself with watching this remake so I may change my opinion, but from what I've read, the remake is....lets call it the "Institutions Version".

4:15- Whooooo! Wipe out!
Damn, that beautiful Charger...wrecked! I could cry right now, DeathProofPL.
This was fantastic.
I had never heard of the second Vanishing Point, now I know why.
The cops are doing a great job holding on to the dash when rolling, hahaha.
Vanishing Point came out in the late 70s! Now THERE were some great chase scenes! The final scene with the bulldozer was real, but radio controlled.
Vanishing Point came out in 71. I was 8 years old when Uncle Howie decided he wanted to watch it in Las Vegas. Uncut and uncensored on broadcast TV. This was the poorly done remake. Viggo is no Barry Newman and Jason Priestley is definitely not Cleavon Little as Super Soul.

That’s sad when you have to explain the stunt... I wonder if he seen dirty Mary crazy Larry
What a waste of '68 Charger. :(
+E34Benzin Pray in the crash scene to be a some fake Dodge or car who looks like Dodge.
Challenger is wayyyyy prettier...
+Kozars Son I love Challenger, but Charger is not bad.
+Rainy Tuber Its not at all but I prefer the Challenger by a long shot... Not even a question for me
+Rainy Tuber Yeah wasnt an actual model... just a movie prop made version
So the charger rolls a half a dozen times, neither cop is wearing a seatbelt and they stayed in place? Funny
Holding on to the dash seems to work fine!
the original has a great sense of existentialism to it...its great. this verson has nothing on the '71 vanishing point
Exactly. No amount of money or AI could recreate the atmosphere back then.
this movie was actualy one of my earliest memorys, this is actualy one of the parts i remebered for a long time
The original film was about 307% better in every way.
That is a fact.
Wasn't the original Vanishing Point movie in 1971 also a low budget movie?
Hollywood needs to make this movie with a 2015 hellcat challenger And a camaro
No, remakes tend to end badly. Besides this film is already a remake of the 1971 film.
finally found this movie.. i remember watching this 4:00 am when i was 10 (11 years ago)
This is not the original VP. 71 is when the original debuted and every real Kowalski fan knows the Challenger was a 440 not a Hemi. I actually found a shot where you see the 440 badge on the hood.

MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!!!!
Wish I knew where they filmed this...looks like Arizona or some parts of Nevada. Hard to find a remote stretch of road like this anymore...pretty country too...
If I remember right it was actually where they said they were, Monument Valley in Utah
Why is the interior shots of the Charger a Challenger?
Hollywood is running out of new ideas.
the view through binoculars doesnt actually appear as two circles side by side!
Best Scene Ever in the reboot "insert song Steal Another Fantasy by Axe Here"

HAHA love the bumper sticker at 0:59!!
Roll over looks pretty tame, no one being ejected, no broken arms or legs haha
Right. After the GTO, Chevelle, Nova, 442, and GSX, of course.
seems like every time you shoot a shotgun from a charger something bad happens
As much as I love the chase of a 1970 Challenger R/T vs 1968 Charger R/T, I hated seeing the latter wreck.
And as much fun it makes to chase someone with it, I'd probably never take such a love prize ride to a job/chase, where it might get damaged
Looks like they used the same two cars in that movie death proof but this one came out first
this is a great movie I seen them both the original and this one is my fav .
I watched this movie, i love it. This cops idiots and stupids pursuit Kovalski from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Kovalski is death in Idaho. I hate this ending😡😡😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
This is the Challenger R/T with 440 engine or 383? Very nice 68 charger R/T same thing is it the 440 Charger. I love those tail lamps on that 68 Charger R/T.
i will NEVER let my '70 charger get destroyed ..they wrecked 100s of chargers in the original dukes of hazzard
Never going to sell my 68 black on black charger with a 426 hemi i love that. My dad gave it to me so cherish the charger
For car chase lovers I pose you check this edit. From the time of 3:28 to 3:32 when Kowalski hits the binders the sound-bite has been used before, 1977's Smokey and the bandit!
When Bandit is told by "Frog" about the smokey 10-100 and the cop pursues, Bandit hits the brakes in a long skid scene, drifts around about 320 degrees and tears up the dirt road! Check it out!
Bloody cheap Hollywood! Or the crew charged with creating the special effects knew how good the sound track from Smokey was and decided not to re-invent the wheels...
Both vehicles were slant 6 versions...1bbl carb and Torqueflite transmissions...
+Robert Smith what charger 318 v8,challenger 340 six pack,
Robert Smith is azamaing
That charger pulling out of the dirt its like dom leaving the garage to get jessies killers so bad ass
I can't tell that is a Challenger, how can you tell its not a Charger? I've owned both and I can't tell while its flipping around. I do know in the movie they show the Charger at the body shop and it has a roll cage in it, just like the one at the start of the roll and the end of it.
its just the body kit folks dont be upset about that
@KR850 at least in the Dukes of Hazzard movie it's not completely destroyed, and in The Fast and the Furious it's never really written off just fixed everytime it's crashed
there called hideaway headlights,the lights are hidden behind the grill,and when you turn the light switch on ethier a vacum motor or electric motor opens the hideaway doors as the lights come on
Loving the bumper sticker.
This was a travesty. The original was a classic early 70s flick.
Correct
The vanishing point avec Barry Newman et sa Dodge Challenger pour toujours dans ma mémoire. Born to ride Born to die.Bert.
Picturesque if nothing else. As far as car chases go, there wasn't a whole lot of tension, mostly due to the remote location and lack of traffic. But it picked up pretty well near the end. A lot of good burn out footage.
how many time the challenger changes gear? have you count them?
Why do movies have it out for the classics?
exelente pelicula kiero conseguirla si alguien me puede decir donde bajarla seria doblemente exelente gracias
I whant the music frome this movie!
actually i herd that in the last scene where kowalski crashes the charger, they took out the engine an djust pulled the body along on a cable and blew that up
nothing beats eating a bunch of speed and hauling ass in your challenger. go kowalski, the last american hero
why is it allways the charger that dies :/
Could someone reach back and rescue the dj? There's one in Miss, also.
God, how I miss my Challenger!!!
@Guitargod130 THIS is a '70 Challenger
Steering must be loose as hell in that Charger, for how far he had to turn the wheel to change lanes...he's no Mad Max...
@TheKatefantastic This remake is disaster.What that director smoked?
@lukebccb
They made good mopars?
5:46 - God forgive me that 68 Charger almost get killed.
Tra i migliori film mai visti insieme a the Gatewey (anni '70), introvabile.
GREAT JOB ON YOUR VIDEO!!!!!!!!
The Charger is my dreamcar!! Along with the Ford Grand Torino
the front license plate on the charger keeps disappearing
why is the bullet charger in this?
Welcome to Victoria, Australia... what... three kilometres an hour over the speed limit? Where's my shot gun?
Yeah I am a huge fan on the 2 movies. There is a lot of fun stuff to learn about the first. Most people don't know the original car was green but painted white.
Do a search its pretty fun stuff. God Bless.
*That was just a remake from 1997. Even if it was a way far away from the original classic from 1971 with Barry Newman, driver Kowalski is still kicking some cops assess* :o))
I love how the scanner never stops on the calls.
Aw, no one eyeballed the froot loop!
where is the original movie?!?!?!?
Hey is that Steve Vai driving...
Excellent point, seems like everything nowadays is a remake of something that should have been left alone.
can't tell but I think what we saw crash was not the same charger...it could have been something else...but the tail lights did look like a charger. I think they probably found an old beat up one and crashed it.
Back in the 90s, author and philosopher Sam Harris went by the name Peter Murnik when he would do movies. Most people do not know that.
@xSNEAKYFXx. in these old movies they used real cars but in movies nowadays they don't use actual american muscle cars they use fiberglass covers of the cars and put them on the chassis.
Is there anybody who know the name of music on 2:20 until 2:25?
man that charger was in excellent condition....what a shame
Steel belt tires not bias ply. About the same difference everywhere......
At 3:07 we see the shadows of the vehicle with the camera on it...
My research indicates at least three different cars were used in the original.
Yep, I should have said "remote controlled", but I didn't catch that the climax scene car was switched!
I like how this video highlights the Challenger and Charger relationship, if nothing else.
yeah im rewally sad i missed out those must of been some awesome days
is that a plymouth cuda or dodge charger
Those "tanks" are extremely fast out-of-the-box and look far better than anything that any other country has put out. No power adders here. Just straight-up American speed, power, and muscle, which is something that no other country in the world can claim during that era.
Dig the movie always have, but one thing always bugs me about movies like this. A 71 challenger isn't actually a very fast car, sure it has power, but those things are like driving a tank floating on marsh mellows.
to roll a car that size you have to be going fast even with the cannon roll
Yeah I know. I actually drove one before. It has good accelleration but it controls like a tank.
@irarawkstarr In the movie, the Charger was that cop's personal car, and he brought it out to chase down the Challenger. You'll notice towards the beginning he said over the radio, "Have deputized Black Beast." Of course the Charger isn't a fleet vehicle, but damn it'd be nice if the cops did use them!

This is a remake? chuck looks and sounds like tommy lee jones.
when was this made?
