I was in High School when I went to see Vanishing Point. It literally changed my Life. I still watch it every few years and can almost feel the loss of our Freedoms every time. Gradual, gradual, gradually we lose our precious Freedom. My kids in their early 30's aren't even old enough to remember what America WAS... Some poor kid who is graduating High School this year was born in 1995 and likely his or her parents barely remember America of the 50's & 60's. GO KOWALSKI!!
@robbie G : It's "you're a Marxist crack head," not "YOUR A MARKIST CRACK HEAD". But the all caps thing is dynamic and impressive. Also, I'm down with your keen assessment of the nihilist theme.
Thanks, us "old guys" should really count our blessings having been priviliged to live in America before Globalization and almost complete Corporate control. Very little 'Nanny State' back in the day. Peace
I miss the late 70's and early 80's for this. Sigh. Not the attitudes but the reckless joy and dangerous abandonment of big engines, fistfights instead of guns, riding in the back of trucks, jumping off bridges at the river.. just being allowed to be, mostly.
This was the greatest movie in the 70s I can remember after watching this movie my first car was a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 383 with the factory 4-speed with the pistol grip shift in the same color as the car in the movie I remember the car when it was used back in 1971 Good Times .
Saw this when I was 16. My buddies and I saw this movie about 5 or 6 times over the summer of 1970. It's still my favorite Car movie and I think it's still the best one. We all wanted to be as cool as Kowalski!
Well, think about this: I've never seen it! Now how about that? Have I got something great to look forward to? Sounds like it. But I want a celluloid viewing and that is a big hindrance that I put on myself, as having watched 2001 in the laptop was clearly losing much of what the film was about and hence fell asleep at least once in that film. Welcome to 2023 everyone, things have changed. 1970 was indeed THE YEAR to be alive!
Yes I saw this movie as a sophomore in high school in 1974..and it made a lasting impression on me ever since..my dream was to always have a 1970 challenger rt just like the one in the movie..nick from Nick's garage built an exact replica of it..
My how times have changed... I saw this movie when I was 5, at the drive-in with my cousin and her boyfriend in Panama City Florida. We went to his Dad's shop The next day and put flames on his GTO. Good times
Do you remember the blonde climbing a ladder during the ending crowd scene? Saw her in 71. Met her in 78. Married her in 79. Shortly before we were married I found out that it was her I had been so impressed with. I am still freaking out. This is her in my profile pic. A redhead 41 years ago when I met her, and still today.
@@philmullins136 Thanks, dude. We must have watched VP at the same age. I saw it on a double bill with THE FRENCH CONNECTION: two adrenaline-charged car chase movies.
Greatest car movie ever made! He never touched the brakes! Call me psychotic if you want, but I can understand him! And MOPAR did rule in the late 60's and early 70's! And that's coming from a Ford man!
Obvious you never been in the HD-455 1973 Trans AM..Where you had to show ownership just to get some crank rods. As people were stealing them. Off the factory floor..
Loved that movie. Convinced me to move out west. I finally bought a Mopar and tore ass all around the west. I restored it now and I'm building a 440 for it. Couldn't afford a Challenger so I got a 69 4-speed Roadrunner. Thanks, Kowalski.
I Agree that the Original Mopars of the 1960's - early 70's Rocked! Today as far as the Modern American Muscle Retro Looks Go, Dodge Challenger Wins The Prize! (This is said by me A former hard Core GM 72 Chevelle, & Camaro Fan) Liked the Challenger so much I have owned a 2012 R/T Plus & now have a 2013 R/T Classic. Wife traded her 2010 Camaro in on a 2012 Challenger SXT. What can I say...The Challenger is a Fun Car to Drive Especially the 6 Speed Short Throw Hurst and Borla Performance Exhaust.
Great Mix. I know. I lived it from three Corvettes and a 65 GT 350, got clocked one day doing 183. Never got a ticket though. The days of lets see how much hp and fast it will go. Vanishing point just made it better. It couldn't last and it didn't.
Saw this 28 nights in a row.. In 76 when it was played for a second time in Columbus Ga...Had to do a burnout in my challenger every night so I could get in free the next night!! Funny thing.. I still have the car.. But the drive in is no more!
this movie was about driving this country and finding that vanishing ponit so far away from people, cops .everyday life and just being free was a thing of the past and this is 1971 and now today 2014 we have lost many many many more freedom since this movie was made
Christine Plymouth. Ha! You're totally right. The whole beautiful era kind of folded in on itself, didn't it. Now we have stupid kids in the street screaming about preferred pronouns and communism. Hey, it's like a piece of fish. It's really nice until it goes bad.
I have been trying to find this film. I saw it at the Hillendale Theatre, in a suburb of Baltimore in the early 70's, when it was first-run. Wow...thanks for posting.
EVER BEEN IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS??WELL ITS CALLED THE ZONE,REALLY GREAT PLACE TO BE!!LOUD MUSIC,GREAT OPEN ROAD AND THE SWEETEST RIDE YOU CAN THINK OF,AT TIMES IT IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!
I bought a 70 R/T , 340 4spd ten years ago and drove it like I stole it every time I thought about this movie. Car even came with a VHS tape of the original uncut version. Thank God i sold the beast (made a fortune) before I pulled the real Kowalski.
I think you meant to say 440 4spd? 340 1970 Challengers were not R/T''s. They were still badass. But I think they were only Challengers with Rallye package.
@@danhood1443 the one guy I can think of who knows a lot about Mopars has a TV show called Graveyard Carz his name is Mark Worman he's the top notch expert on what came with these cars .
I bought a Spinnaker White Dodge Challenger in '72 slick top white it was however a 340 with Automatic here in West Texas that was as close as I could get here . I was 22. These memories are really cool when I think about this time and seeing this movie when it came out. Still love those Dodge Challengers and Chrysler. They kicked ass! ,
I always have to stop in Cisco to pay homage to Kowalski when ever I pass that way. I do a long burnout in front of the remains of the gas station. It is still standing but barely.
At the end of movie, as they roll the credits, you can clearly see, it's a white 67 Camaro, not a Challenger! lol clever ending, Kowalski did make it under 15 hours!
Filmed along the Colorado River on the road between Cisco Utah and Moab Utah in Castle Valley (Not Monument Valley), also filmed along I-70 west of Grand Junction Colorado. I have zipped down that road through Moab Canyon at speeds in excess of 100 MPH myself.
Based on a true event. The story goes there was nothing bigger than 6 inches left of the car and only a couple of those were found. Both dozers were off the road. I was 17 when this movie came out.
I noticed it too, however I think it was a film flip of some sort as the gas pump "Contains Lead" Decal is also backwards. Just my observation. But Yepper I noticed the same thing as you.
Little known fact on this movie. At the end a 1969 Camaro was used and wrecked into the dozers… even back then the movie makers knew not to wreck a 'Good" car… (sorry chevy guys…)
No offense taken as long as you realize that a 68 (it was a 68) Camaro with the little Chevy 302, 396, or L88 427 could ALL have kept up with the Challenger with no problem, with the L88 whipping it's ass.
It was a '67.....here are photos of the actual car. (About 1/2 way down). You can see the vent window on the passenger side....which= '67: users.wowway.com/~tjasiewicz/VanishingPoint/vpbehind.htm
I've never ever seen Vanishing point, although I've heard of it for 40 years no doubt. But this is an incredibly well produced piece of cinematography, so who put this together, no doubt it is in the show more link. And it is about losing freedoms? And losing is written in capitals. And everything we say is registered even if we can't get access to check what is there. 2023 01 02 12:40:50 But we just have to laugh, because if we are still able to move, then we can change things, and a man who is free, has no burdens, that's something to think about.
I was in High School when I went to see Vanishing Point. It literally changed my Life. I still watch it every few years and can almost feel the loss of our Freedoms every time.

I was lucky to know what true freedom was. Today, 2021 Is an awaiting for the apocalypse. It's coming.
All true my brother. Best wishes to you.
This movie was one of the very best of this era. It's totally underrated and should be at the top of the list in film schools.
@robbie G : You missed your calling as a novelist. Your prose are just divine.
@robbie G : It's "you're a Marxist crack head," not "YOUR A MARKIST CRACK HEAD". But the all caps thing is dynamic and impressive. Also, I'm down with your keen assessment of the nihilist theme.
Favorite film. Thanks fir the revisit.
rest in peace Barry Newman

randy95023 It was there , it's always been there , they were just working on the foundation under the radar.
Long live America!
Becky Watt wrong.

Mississippi Queen, how could you forget her?
That's Barry Newman 1971
From Denver to SanFrancisco
don't judge a man until you have driven a 1000 miles in his shoes! Killer ending
Leoroo62 update Sis just picked up her Mopar charger( Red ) 2013 Like the challenger myseft. Both great cars .
Kowalski's shoes were cool like him I believe they were slip on Deck style tennis shoes
This was the greatest movie in the 70s I can remember after watching this movie my first car was a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 383 with the factory 4-speed with the pistol grip shift in the same color as the car in the movie I remember the car when it was used back in 1971 Good Times .

I love this movie and car I seen when it first came out
Great comment. We are trading away our liberty in the name of safety and security. Young people don't even know what liberty is.
How are you fillings about
Today 🇺🇸 America people
🇺🇸😲😬😁😳😥😃😀💙
"Fillings"!? Really? Perhaps custard, vanilla and chocolate.
I saw it at the drive in as a kid. One of my all-time favorites!
Excellent cut - you catched the spirit well. That movie stuck in my brain for years...
Me to. Best wishes to you.
We all watched VANISHING POINT at the drive-in as kids, and we all remember the Naked Hippie Biker Chick.
angel able I believe that chick's name was Victoria Medaline she was once a Playboy model I don't know what year I think it was either 68 or 69 issue.
Do you remember the blonde climbing a ladder during the ending crowd scene? Saw her in 71. Met her in 78. Married her in 79. Shortly before we were married I found out that it was her I had been so impressed with. I am still freaking out. This is her in my profile pic. A redhead 41 years ago when I met her, and still today.
Gilda Texter was the naked bike chick.
I watched it at a movie theater when it came out. You are correct, I definitely remember the chick on the motorcycle. I am 60. Best wishes to you.
@@philmullins136 Thanks, dude. We must have watched VP at the same age. I saw it on a double bill with THE FRENCH CONNECTION: two adrenaline-charged car chase movies.
This movie has been a massive part of my life and so has building a very close replica of the Challenger. Great choice of music. Great video.
omg really? that's so cool I want to do that! awesome!!!!
Yep me too its sitting in the garage.
Last off the free generation ❤
Greatest car movie ever made! He never touched the brakes! Call me psychotic if you want, but I can understand him! And MOPAR did rule in the late 60's and early 70's! And that's coming from a Ford man!
Have you ever seen Two Lane Blacktop. Great car movie starring James Taylor, Dennis Wilson and Bruce Dern
You ain't a Ford man. Up yours!!!👍💩. Traitors get shot.
Friends don't let friends drive Ford! Mopar or no car!
Obvious you never been in the HD-455 1973 Trans AM..Where you had to show ownership just to get some crank rods. As people were stealing them. Off the factory floor..
You get a thumbs up number 30 from a chevy man!
Oh the memories, seen this in my 67 mustang fastback at the drive in with my girlfriend !
I am old enough to remember it coming out. The guy who put this together did a fantastic job,,,,,, Much Props.
Never touched the brakes!..Just kept it on the floor!
Loved that movie. Convinced me to move out west. I finally bought a Mopar and tore ass all around the west. I restored it now and I'm building a 440 for it. Couldn't afford a Challenger so I got a 69 4-speed Roadrunner. Thanks, Kowalski.
And I saw this... back in the day..... as a kid. Frickin love it!!
I like it when the dotted line on the road becomes one. Great movie, unforgettable ending.
A special time that would be cool to revisit but like they say you can't go back
I Agree that the Original Mopars of the 1960's - early 70's Rocked! Today as far as the Modern American Muscle Retro Looks Go, Dodge Challenger Wins The Prize! (This is said by me A former hard Core GM 72 Chevelle, & Camaro Fan) Liked the Challenger so much I have owned a 2012 R/T Plus & now have a 2013 R/T Classic.

A Classic and a memory
starts of with a big tree falling in the springtime. Watch the cloud of pollen when hits the ground. I always enjoyed this tune.
Great Mix. I know. I lived it from three Corvettes and a 65 GT 350, got clocked
one day doing 183. Never got a ticket though. The days of lets see how much hp
and fast it will go. Vanishing point just made it better. It couldn't last and it didn't.
Cada vez mejor y mejor!!!! Por favor! Vanishing Point full 1971 para cuando???!!!
LA MÚSICA ES INCREÍBLE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Saw this 28 nights in a row.. In 76 when it was played for a second time in Columbus Ga...Had to do a burnout in my challenger every night so I could get in free the next night!! Funny thing.. I still have the car.. But the drive in is no more!
Cool story man...thx for sharin!
Mine was in a commercial 69/mach 1
LA MEJOR VERSIÓN PARA EL FINAL DE VANISHING POINT, MÚSICA Y VÍDEO!! GRANDES!!!
FABULOSO!! SIEMPRE ANTE MI DESTINO!!!!!
this movie was about driving this country and finding that vanishing ponit so far away from people, cops .everyday life and just being free was a thing of the past and this is 1971 and now today 2014 we have lost many many many more freedom since this movie was made
Sadly you're right ....
palouse bug Yep, all those dope smoking Commies from 1971 got in charge of everything and Commied everything into the crapper !
Christine Plymouth Derp!
Christine Plymouth. Ha! You're totally right. The whole beautiful era kind of folded in on itself, didn't it.
Now we have stupid kids in the street screaming about preferred pronouns and communism.
Hey, it's like a piece of fish. It's really nice until it goes bad.

SIEMP´RE SIGUES CORRIENDO CONTRA EL DESTINO, QUERIDO KOWALSKI, SIGUE ....!!!!!!
🍀 Irish Honey Badger - Love this Song. 💖
Awesome !!! Thanks for the flashback!!!
Kowalski
I always have to stop in Cisco to pay homage to Kowalski when ever I pass that way. I do a long burnout in front of the remains of the gas station. It is still standing but barely.
very good remix i r ember this movie at the drive inn very cool freaks me out thank you.
That's a real sound from the tree.
Muchísimas gracias
I miss the days of old when gas was plentiful and cheap and the government left us alone!
you did a good job . thumbs up
That song goes great with that part of the movie n
good job man!!
makes me melancholy and yearn for the day of yore
184 miles an hour in a 1970 Dodge. MAGNIFICENT!!!
More like 156... without blowing the engine. Fast either way...
At the end of movie, as they roll the credits, you can clearly see, it's a white 67 Camaro, not a Challenger! lol clever ending, Kowalski did make it under 15 hours!
Love the challenger,Love the song.
Filmed along the Colorado River on the road between Cisco Utah and Moab Utah in Castle Valley (Not Monument Valley), also filmed along I-70 west of Grand Junction Colorado. I have zipped down that road through Moab Canyon at speeds in excess of 100 MPH myself.
The very rare right hand drive challenger
La primera obsesiva vez que la vi, olvidé a TRAFFIC, excelente!!!!
I AM NOT YELLING. I HAVE TO SEE WHAT I AM TYPING
It's about losing your way from your path. Meeting Death in the image of a young girl at night in the middle of nowhere.
Most "Excellent" Movie.........
Saw this movie when I was about 8 My life has mirrored Kowolski's in some ways...
Nuevamente, Genial, !!!!!!!
I had a 71 cuda 383 4 speed then. Freedom!
que viagem muitoloco
dodge o melhor
Amazing. Thanks for uploading.
Freedom !
Pure freedom no hassles
Based on a true event. The story goes there was nothing bigger than 6 inches left of the car and only a couple of those were found. Both dozers were off the road. I was 17 when this movie came out.
right on ,some times people like in the movie cant see past their nose
EXCELENTE VIDEO, GRACIAS!!!!!!
I just noticed its a right hand drive Challenger there.
Loved it wanted him to live but they were right
Fantastic
Damned sure is a fitting song to vanishing point!!
Did anyone else notice that at least one car used was right hand drive?
yes i noticed that too........odd
A movie to remind us we aren’t free
I noticed it too, however I think it was a film flip of some sort as the gas pump "Contains Lead" Decal is also backwards. Just my observation. But Yepper I noticed the same thing as you.
Best Traffic song
Little known fact on this movie. At the end a 1969 Camaro was used and wrecked into the dozers… even back then the movie makers knew not to wreck a 'Good" car… (sorry chevy guys…)
'67
No offense taken as long as you realize that a 68 (it was a 68) Camaro with the little Chevy 302, 396, or L88 427 could ALL have kept up with the Challenger with no problem, with the L88 whipping it's ass.
ehh, the fact remains, the trashed a camaro, knowing the Mopar was superior.
It was a '67.....here are photos of the actual car. (About 1/2 way down). You can see the vent window on the passenger side....which= '67: users.wowway.com/~tjasiewicz/VanishingPoint/vpbehind.htm
67, 68 69 still a stinky camaro. They kept the Challenger.
I've never ever seen Vanishing point, although I've heard of it for 40 years no doubt.

Great musical choice, Barry had Blind Faith he could beat the Traffic without turning into Cream
Take it easy Piotr. Have a shot of Luksosowa.
miss you Roger Palmer
saw it at the drive in
23 seconds in an elk sounds off like the elk on rose
FUCK YEAH KOWALSKI !!!!!!!
70s freedom ❤
