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.

God Bless You Brother and Sharing your Awesome memories of your ride and freedom of the joy ! I'm 71 building my last hotrod. 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. Been horribly slow getting parts with government shutting down so much over little flu bug...scam. Thank You for Your Service.
@@stephenmitchell3569 oh, my my Brother! I would love to be in a shop or garage hanging out and working on those powerhouses of years gone by. I was finishing a song I wrote by my 60 Chevy Pick-up, I had in the day. You are truly doing what you are suppose to be doing. I'm in awe and just imaging. As a 15 year old back in 68, i worked at Detroit Dragway for the summer. Man you want to talk about all the Legends I saw. Good times. My favorites were Sox and Martins Vida. Got to crew on a team out of Chicago with a Camaro called Mr. BRUT OR SOMETHING like that. The Mustang, The (Blue Max) kicked our hinny. I appreciate what youre doing with that Vette. Keep in touch with the project if you would so kindly do so. From one 71 years young to another 71 years young... take care. Namaste. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.
I was a young man when I saw this movie for the first time when it came out ..and have never forgotten any of it .tonight at the old age of 66 I got to relive my past youth of building fast cars and running free .this is only the second time i have seen this movie .,And though i am older now my spirit is still young and free. .I think tomorrow I will take my 67 gouger out and go for a ride she.s all original and all stock just maintained and so close to but not over 100,000 miles .I think it's time to take her to that magical mile .and i know just the road to do it at 120 M.P.H. Live free play hard and never look back .
66 here as well. My two cars I owned as a teenager were a '65 Olds Cutlass F85 2-door hardtop with 330 V8 and a '62 Chevy Impala w/327 2-door hardtop. Both had auto trans. Shoulda kept 'em. Nothing 'hot' here anymore but there is STILL the future so who knows? Happy New Year, old timer.
I'm getting up there in the years too, and my first ½ decent car was my 1967 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible. 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). I keep meaning to change the battery, pump up the tires, deal with the inevitable fuel problems, get it running, and wash off the ⅛" of dust... One day...
Well i did it Just before midnight new Years eve .At the stroke of Midnight !20 M.P.H..And the radio Blaring .and me screaming Happy Fing New year .🤣O and by the way This 1967 Cougar was used By Hotchkis To make an upgraded suspension system For the 60's era cars .and that proto type suspension is under this car .It handles like my 2011 Chrysler 300 C.@@Slider68
My first car was a 56 ford 2 door .I still miss it .At the same time dad had a 69 Camaro 350 4 speed herst Trany dual posi rear end MOM 64 Barracuda Gold on gold .My sister was a Renegade she had a 1951 chev 1 ton stake side flat bed pickup This was in 1974.@@52ponybike
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.
These cars filled the parking lot when I was in high school. Lunch time was for drag racing. What a great era to come of age. The greatest era for muscle cars and fast midnight rides❤
Man, That was a great time to be in High School!!! Smoking cigarettes, Drinking beer and building fast cars with your gang of buddies, I'm so glad I lived it!
Nostalgia blurs. There were very few hemi Challengers and nowadays virtually any Tesla would outdrag them, not to mention outclass in braking and handling.
@@JohnWallace-mb1miYour new "class" vehicles have zero personality and are disposable pieces of garbage that are on the verge of incinerating you at any moment. No thanks, it will be a frosty day in Hell before I ever purchase one of them.
I remember renting this when it came to Blockbuster. When I got it home and tried to watch it the tape wouldn't play. I took it back and they didn't have anymore of that title, so I got something else and never did try to rent it again! Tonight I FINALLY got to watch it...FOR FREE!!! Good movie, worth the wait!
From an old man in Idaho who spends his time rebuilding old trucks, who watched the siege on Ruby Ridge out my back door and is still afraid of the government to this day, this was the best way I could have spent my afternoon on this cold and snowy winter day. Great movie.
Keep those old vehicles running. Thanks to Biden's Infrastructure Bill passed last year, automakers are required to add all kinds of invasive surveillance technology to vehicles starting with the 2026 model year under the guise of preventing DUI.
Great movie for anyone who is into old muscle cars from the late 60s and early 70s! Back then cars were pure mechanical works of art that were meant to be driven hard on the street and strip. Anyone who had a 426 HEMI car was always the top dog on the street!
ua-cam.com/video/o87YqLTAoks/v-deo.htmlsi=XrE5XdUNCeYExGLY Uncle Tony Garage knows these motors he broke it down one time, 426 was a good Nascar motor but not the best street beast
@@406MenaceRacecar un true...they prioritized torque at low rpm, most commonly around 2500 rpm depending, a hemi made over 450 ft lbs of torque...modern engines are configured differently for many reasons including emissions standards and fuel economy, favoring high rpm powerbands so they don't make as much torque set up stock from factory as the hemi did for example, the top performance engines back then also came with forged rotating assemblies from the factory which very few do nowadays naturally aspirated, turbo/supercharged do only because they have to, very little work could be done to a high performance motor to get a great amount of power out of them and be competitive at the strip...
@@cloakedgt I'm interested in your source for the claim of peak torque on a Hemi was down low by 2500rpm? I'd say 4400rpm is peak torque . Tony did a drag test in Mopar Action magazine 1988 in a 426 Hemi Daytona. They built, tuned, raced Hemis! I trust them more than anyone else I can think of for Hemi info. I personally stated they were more for Nascar as opposed to being a street beast, you claim that's untrue, what is your opposing thought based on?
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.
The Original 1971 Vanishing Point is SO GOOD ! the DVD director's cut 2nd DVD offers the entire movie narrated by the director telling ALL the stories how they chose the locations and details of the shoot - it is so good !
Yes, absolutely get the 2-disc DVD version with the unedited original 1971 film with optional director's commentary. One of my most prized possessions.
I was on leave, took my cousin's 67 GTO and saw it at the drive-in back in Texas. Took a girl home that night. I was 17 and she was the local high school senior lead cheerleader. A great night, a great movie,and never saw her again. What a ride.
I'm 67 years old and this is the first time I've seen it and I'm impressed and wonder why it took so long and after watching a couple episodes of Roadkill and their "Vanishing Paint" selling to Derek at Vice Grip Garage I finally decided to search it out and I'm glad I did! Cheers to this channel Cruisers Motorsports for posting it! Cheers Markowingnutz new Subscriber
The original is on here somewhere. Make sure it's the one where the Charlotte Rampling footage (only shown in europe) back then, is restored. Brings the story like nothing I've seen in another film. I won't spoil it for you.
I'm also 67 years old. I watched the original Vanishing Point at a drive-in theater. I have also owned 5 old school Challengers in this order. 70 - 340 / automatic 70 - 383 / automatic 74 - 360hp / automatic 73 - 340 / pistol grip 4 speed that I had for 19 years. 72 - 340 / automatic All were fun times. I currently have a 2022 Challenger R/T.
@@sextempiric7137 Agreed. Remakes are generally a bad idea. And this one is no exception. It doesn't breathe the same atmosphere as the '73 version and is therefore just another two dime flick.
Yes ...this is not the original"Vanishing Point " ... VANISHING POINT/1971 .ONE OF THE BEST CAR MOVIES FROM THE 70'S !!! AND A SYMBOL OF AN ERA !!!! ...A CLASSIC !!!
YEAH AGREED - Dean Jagger, fantastic movie then and now - why they keep trying to improve on great movies beats me. Its like trying to paint a picture by Monet better, it can't be done !
@@aidanohara3344 Yes ... great movie !!! Irreplaceable !!! But not the car ...the same body design was resurrected ...so the Dodge Challenger is still around !!! Barry Newman died on May 2023 . A long life 92 . I don't know why ... I remember another classic movie from 1970 ...Zabriskie point .
Same title, same car, totally different movie. The original was a priceless jewell. So insightful and in tune eith its time. It was an neat literary work by the great Guillermo Cabrera Infante, one of the best cuban writers of all time. For a lot of people rather than a movie it was a statement. For them it was part of their inner dreams of freedom for years. This one is a little watchable movie. Its good entertainment for 90 minutes then you totally forget about it.
@@wayland7150 I think I've only seen the original where the car impacts. I seem to recall they used a white Camaro in that scene, and it appeared to have had actual impact with the blades, unlike the one in the remake, which only appeared to have burned. I saw the remake with Viggo first, and as I loved my wife deeply even to this day, like the remakes ending better than the original. But hey, that's me.
OK, so it's not a complete remake, but it is done well, really well. Thanks for the opportunity for me to see it. I smile when I remember these cars in my childhood, they were everywhere. We knew they were special even as kids back then. I sure miss those days. No seat belts, no worries.
Somebody had to make a comeback on Bullitt! Well, actually, somebody already did. Motorheads commenting on the Bullitt chase sequence say that a Charger with a 440, a NASCAR motor, could easily have outrun a Mustang with a 390, a truck motor with no top end, once the chase got onto the PCH.
Thanks for posting! I never saw the original but watched this baked with mates when I was about 18 and even though it's bit low budget, Viggo and Challenger and that ending sequence made it a movie my friends and I raved about for years!
It's like a producer overheard a couple people talk about a classic movie and after hearing 15 seconds decided to do a remake. I have never seen somone miss the mark by such a wide margin. Won't be long before they do a remake of Citizen Kane about Hershey Kisses. It's movies like this that make me not regret becoming an alcoholic.
If you hadn't watched movies at all, would you regret being an alcoholic. You're an alcoholic only when you're drinking alcohol. The minut you stop you're not an alcoholic. But you were joking, I'm sure and this wasn't your joke. 😂
It's a great movie but only really took style tips from the original. In this one there was a point to driving in the desert. There was a point to the drive itself. The movie made sense.
@@wayland7150 The pointless premise of the original - that Kowalski delivered cars cross-country at high speed and took speed while doing it because that is what he did - is part of what made the original so pure. 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.
for a low budget film, this one is a good one, and far beyond its time. as most of what was just starting back then is now being done in the year of 2023. just wish i had a dvd of it in my collection.
A fine film, for sure. Same basic theme as the 1971 version, but large parts of the original story have been 'restructured' and new elements have been introduced. Even the ending has been modified. Nevertheless, a movie still worth a viewing...so thanks for the upload!
Darn good film, brings back some old memories of my Mini Cooper back in the 60s. Luckily I got done once only for speeding, the rest, say no more. Thanks for the upload.
Just remembering being a hotrodder in the eighties. Stuck with rebuilding Quadrajet carburetor and my friend taught me a trick aside from bigger jets was drilling holes in the floats so they drop quicker at full throttle. We used to know a guy at the airport as well so we would get airplane fuel and mix it with our gasoline.
It was great to see Peta Wilson in a roll other than La Femme Nikita, even though I was a total fan of the series. : ) I almost cried when that 68 R/T rolled...it was beautiful !! I enjoyed this version of the movie, but now I need to find the original for comparison.
He's a racing driver, at the wheel of a car that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, with a top speed of nearly 150mph, plus handling and brakes to match, yet ordinary cops (who usually are crappy drivers) in ordinary police cruisers (0-60 in about 10 seconds, with a top speed of about 110mph, that handle like a barge) are able to keep within one car length behind him at all times.
One of the cops also had a Challenger R/T. The Crown Victoria can be quite quick, lets assume they were the ones with a supercharger. Turning your lights off worked for me a couple of times when being chased.
@@wayland7150 Wrong.....The dickhead cop had a Charger R/T...... The Challenger in the original movie was a supercharged 426 Hemi. I can't remember what car they used in the suicide scene but it wasn't a Challenger. The Challenger in this movie is just a 4-bbl. Back in the day I would also run lights off when eluding....I also had a brake-light cutout switch....When racing on mountain roads, I used my brake lights to mind-fvck someone running on my back bumper...... Good times. The Sheriff's Department here in Coos County Oregon ran 440 Plymouths back then...... These things had lots of power but they handled like hogs in the twisties..... I never was caught.
@@wayland7150 No P71/P7B Police package cars came with a supercharger. Its the plain old 4.6L 2-valve engine that is in the Mustang, making 250hp. And the slowest shifting automatic transmission known to man. The biggest departure VS civilian package is 3:27 rear gears for quicker accelerationat the expense of top speed. Source: I daily one.
I saw the original movie when first it came out and never got a chance to see it again. Then I saw this version . This was an awesome remake. Thanks for posting.
It's disappearing rapidly from existence. I bought the last copy on DVD I could find last year, still haven't watched it (mainly not having a console or dvd player that work anymore).
I know. My VHS player gave up the ghost several years ago now I have hundreds of video tapes. Maybe It'll make a comeback like LP albums. @@zchris87v80
IMHO the original was perfect. It had most of all two very key things. Clevon Little as Super Soul and it also had continuity from great editing. Of note is that the way Viggo is pushing that Hemi R/T is using a TON of gas...Final observation is the fed guy must have been a precursor of the modern nanny state. Fed agent will lie and obfuscate in order to push the agenda...
The original Vanishing point must be one of the most epic car movies of all time, I have watched it countless time and I always get completely carried away. That white Challenger is simply an iconic car, the symbol of an unmatched era and generation 😎
I liked the original better, though this is the best remake of any movie I've seen. Still, having "Stevie Wonder" playing the DJ and his final comment on the ride was better, IMO. 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.
As I remembered about “Vanishing Point” as the best 1971 Classic Movie after I graduated with my high school diploma from MSSD ( Model Secondary School for the Deaf in Washington, D.C.) with my first Class of 1971 ( Friday June 11, 1971), I notice that “ Vanishing Point” as 1997 full movie that is captioned for the deaf is changing in some things - Not same as “ Vanishing Point “ as 1971 movie in a fact.
My neighbor had and orange Challenger with black vinyl roof. He taught me how to do donuts in the school parking lot across the street from our houses. I was 13 years old.
The full meaning of the title doesn't become clear until reaching the story conclusion. Then you realize the title couldn't be more perfect for this story.
If you haven't yet, you NEED to see the original. It had so much more pathos, feeling, and just plain soul! The ending was just plain amazing, not like this feeble attempt.
The original is excellent but I like this version also. This one is easier to follow and makes more sense. In the original there was no reason for him to drive like that other than meeting an arbitrary deadline. In the original I loved the way each of his friends gave him the opportunity to take it easy and not go on this mad drive.
Very well done and provided good entertainment. The original was great as well. I can imagine doing something like this. But I would not get in a situation like the ending of these two classic car chase movie's. A great classic car as well. It would be a very huge adventure. Fun movie for sure,,, Hmmmmm, A adventure,,,, I would restore and build a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/442 build with the L75 455 engine. Equipped with the full HURST OLDS 442 performance package. Well,,,, It would have to be a much different less involved cross country run, chase, adventure. But fun if kept in check!!!
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 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.
Supposedly the friend buying the oil pan for a 70 Challenger catches everyone's attention. If Kowalski is a car guy, then he would arrange for an oil pan to be bought, mentioning a parts cross over to something bland like a 73 Monaco with a 400 V8 (uses same oil pan as a 426).
Very enjoyable, and a few minutes in I realized I'd seen a movie like that before. But the lead was popping pills. From comments, and a quick search, I was right. 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.
You came to find a spirituality in action movies? Well, that lion has been thrown back into the cage, soon after the scene was finished. Mortensen went out that night with your sister, and they agreed that the best 3 things are: beer before and cigarete after.
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.
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.
The FBI man and the Challenger Cop both wanted to stamp their authority on the man. The Voice said there was a time when the police would have provided the man an escort to the hospital. The elected Sherif and the FBI 2nd in command had the right idea, let the man drive to the hospital and see his wife. Then arrest him the next day politely by knocking on his door. Heck he would have handed himself in and saved them the fuel.
Thats exactly the point. This could be a completely true story. Anytime. But if you ever want reallity to look realy absurd, just read the constitution.
The original came out 1971. I saw it Oct 1972. 1973 had a 1971 Olds 442 (4 barrel, 4 speed & Dual exhaust) Loved that car. Had a real good Cruise 1973 from Fairbanks to Palmer. Nothing but tundra, got to roll, no cops, no drones, no "Bear in tge air." It was GREAT!
Absolutely amazing film and superb story. Love Viggo Mortensen in this and in another fantastic movie "A history of violence". Thanks so much for the upload and thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you for this great upload! No I'm not in my 67 Super Sport at the drive in with my girl,, But this is a very good movie! It's sure worth the watch! Merry Christmas to all.
First time seeing this movie. Great story. Gotta love Viggo and Jason here!. Amazing Mopars on display. Chrysler couldn't have a better endorsement.. If you like car chases rolled into a love story this is the movie!
This is why you shoud always get your car shipped by a professional car transporter business that owns its own auto transport equipment (Royal Crown Towing llc AZ)
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.
I like this version better than the original only because he survives and lives with his daughter in remembrance of her mother/ his wife. The original had a final and sad ending.
Not like the original, but a nice dose of vintage Mopar Muscle. Flubs obviously, like 4 brake lights, then only two working, but, for fans of classics, OK.
I had a 71 challenger back in the early 90s. I customized the dashboard and instrument panel. I also did the body work and painted it light gray on the sides with a darker shade of gray on the hood, top and trunk. I also changed the interior carpet to white. Man I miss that car.
Not that It matters a new challenger would blow the doors off of this car and a Demon even more. But they do make them better now at least the hot rod ones.
i was there at the drive-in with my brother sister and his friends who had just stole a brand new plymouth road runner 440 fully loaded. i drove backward through the back gate exit only , we got to watch most of the movie, we were all tripping on mushrooms. i was only 18 and everyone else were 5 years younger the kids that stole the car were like 12 years old. after the movie i was pissed off how it all ended, when we left out the back gate the road led directly to the express. So i desided to see just how fast this thing could go. before i got to 4th gear i was at 90 mph standing on it in a few mow seconds i hit 160 then 180 and wasnt even trying to slow down when i heard everybody crying and girls screaming in terror at how powerful this car exactly was plus it didnt have a back seat because it was someone, race car my brothers 12 year old friends just stole. i cant remember, i did slow down , but i cant remember anything about what happened to the car after taking us all home, i guess we made it here i am lol...and that movie sucked. after watching it now that im 70
I'm miss the 80s and 90s I remember that radio Alpine the Benzie box we used to call them I miss the 80s and 90s I don't like today's generation everybody has no respect walks with their heads down I don't have a clue what's going on around them
This may be a remake of the original 1971 film of the same name but it looks and feels more like an assassination of the nuanced and near-mystical original. The only way I could give this a star is if it is 1 out of 10.

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. Been horribly slow getting parts with government shutting down so much over little flu bug...scam. Thank You for Your Service.
@@stephenmitchell3569 oh, my my Brother! I would love to be in a shop or garage hanging out and working on those powerhouses of years gone by. I was finishing a song I wrote by my 60 Chevy Pick-up, I had in the day. You are truly doing what you are suppose to be doing. I'm in awe and just imaging. As a 15 year old back in 68, i worked at Detroit Dragway for the summer. Man you want to talk about all the Legends I saw. Good times. My favorites were Sox and Martins Vida. Got to crew on a team out of Chicago with a Camaro called Mr. BRUT OR SOMETHING like that. The Mustang, The (Blue Max) kicked our hinny. I appreciate what youre doing with that Vette. Keep in touch with the project if you would so kindly do so. From one 71 years young to another 71 years young... take care. Namaste. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.
I was a young man when I saw this movie for the first time when it came out ..and have never forgotten any of it .tonight at the old age of 66 I got to relive my past youth of building fast cars and running free .this is only the second time i have seen this movie .,And though i am older now my spirit is still young and free. .I think tomorrow I will take my 67 gouger out and go for a ride she.s all original and all stock just maintained and so close to but not over 100,000 miles .I think it's time to take her to that magical mile .and i know just the road to do it at 120 M.P.H. Live free play hard and never look back .
66 here as well. My two cars I owned as a teenager were a '65 Olds Cutlass F85 2-door hardtop with 330 V8 and a '62 Chevy Impala w/327 2-door hardtop. Both had auto trans. Shoulda kept 'em. Nothing 'hot' here anymore but there is STILL the future so who knows? Happy New Year, old timer.
I'm getting up there in the years too, and my first ½ decent car was my 1967 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible.
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).
I keep meaning to change the battery, pump up the tires, deal with the inevitable fuel problems, get it running, and wash off the ⅛" of dust...
One day...
Well i did it Just before midnight new Years eve .At the stroke of Midnight !20 M.P.H..And the radio Blaring .and me screaming Happy Fing New year .🤣O and by the way This 1967 Cougar was used By Hotchkis To make an upgraded suspension system For the 60's era cars .and that proto type suspension is under this car .It handles like my 2011 Chrysler 300 C.@@Slider68
My first car was a 56 ford 2 door .I still miss it .At the same time dad had a 69 Camaro 350 4 speed herst Trany dual posi rear end MOM 64 Barracuda Gold on gold .My sister was a Renegade she had a 1951 chev 1 ton stake side flat bed pickup This was in 1974.@@52ponybike

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.
ok I'll try to watch it
christmas 2023
monday
the moon is up here
coffee is on
dark roast
The first one was so much better
I'm checking out know. 2nd day of Christmas has started. But I'm not weary 😩
Thanks for answering (the only question I had about this movie!)@ItsTyme-2C
These cars filled the parking lot when I was in high school.
Lunch time was for drag racing.
What a great era to come of age.
The greatest era for muscle cars and fast midnight rides❤
Yep, I would say we were blessed, compared to all the shit vehicles now and shit going on in the world.
So much great Detroit iron around in those days. I miss it.
Man, That was a great time to be in High School!!! Smoking cigarettes, Drinking beer and building fast cars with your gang of buddies, I'm so glad I lived it!
Nostalgia blurs. There were very few hemi Challengers and nowadays virtually any Tesla would outdrag them, not to mention outclass in braking and handling.
@@JohnWallace-mb1miYour new "class" vehicles have zero personality and are disposable pieces of garbage that are on the verge of incinerating you at any moment. No thanks, it will be a frosty day in Hell before I ever purchase one of them.
I remember renting this when it came to Blockbuster. When I got it home and tried to watch it the tape wouldn't play. I took it back and they didn't have anymore of that title, so I got something else and never did try to rent it again! Tonight I FINALLY got to watch it...FOR FREE!!! Good movie, worth the wait!
Wow, that's a long wait to see a movie. This was in Blockbuster, or the 71 movie?
Blockbuster ?
@@marvinbrando722 Yeah the video store, duh!
All things come to those who wait😌
Oof, you missed out...@@marvinbrando722
From an old man in Idaho who spends his time rebuilding old trucks, who watched the siege on Ruby Ridge out my back door and is still afraid of the government to this day, this was the best way I could have spent my afternoon on this cold and snowy winter day. Great movie.
Keep those old vehicles running. Thanks to Biden's Infrastructure Bill passed last year, automakers are required to add all kinds of invasive surveillance technology to vehicles starting with the 2026 model year under the guise of preventing DUI.
@@Harold_Callahan Yeah, buy a POS car next year and you'll have to ask your car for permission to pull over and take a f'n pizz!
Great movie for anyone who is into old muscle cars from the late 60s and early 70s! Back then cars were pure mechanical works of art that were meant to be driven hard on the street and strip. Anyone who had a 426 HEMI car was always the top dog on the street!
No they were dogs unless you had them up high in the rpm
ua-cam.com/video/o87YqLTAoks/v-deo.htmlsi=XrE5XdUNCeYExGLY Uncle Tony Garage knows these motors he broke it down one time, 426 was a good Nascar motor but not the best street beast
The era of the olds 442
@@406MenaceRacecar un true...they prioritized torque at low rpm, most commonly around 2500 rpm depending, a hemi made over 450 ft lbs of torque...modern engines are configured differently for many reasons including emissions standards and fuel economy, favoring high rpm powerbands so they don't make as much torque set up stock from factory as the hemi did for example, the top performance engines back then also came with forged rotating assemblies from the factory which very few do nowadays naturally aspirated, turbo/supercharged do only because they have to,
very little work could be done to a high performance motor to get a great amount of power out of them and be competitive at the strip...
@@cloakedgt I'm interested in your source for the claim of peak torque on a Hemi was down low by 2500rpm? I'd say 4400rpm is peak torque .
Tony did a drag test in Mopar Action magazine 1988 in a 426 Hemi Daytona. They built, tuned, raced Hemis! I trust them more than anyone else I can think of for Hemi info. I personally stated they were more for Nascar as opposed to being a street beast, you claim that's untrue, what is your opposing thought based on?
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.
You're young
The Original 1971 Vanishing Point is SO GOOD !
the DVD director's cut 2nd DVD offers the entire movie narrated by the director telling ALL the stories how they chose the locations and details of the shoot - it is so good !
Have to check that version out, thanks. Just watched Dirty Mary Crazy Larry recently , another good old one👍
Yes, absolutely get the 2-disc DVD version with the unedited original 1971 film with optional director's commentary. One of my most prized possessions.

This version is better!!! 🤬😡 My step dad was a producer on it and he doesn't make bad movies!!!

I was on leave, took my cousin's 67 GTO and saw it at the drive-in back in Texas. Took a girl home that night. I was 17 and she was the local high school senior lead cheerleader. A great night, a great movie,and never saw her again. What a ride.

You need to get a life
You haven't seen many movies then.... a guy driving a car..favourite movie of all time?
I'm 67 years old and this is the first time I've seen it and I'm impressed and wonder why it took so long and after watching a couple episodes of Roadkill and their "Vanishing Paint" selling to Derek at Vice Grip Garage I finally decided to search it out and I'm glad I did!
Cheers to this channel Cruisers Motorsports for posting it!

This is the highly sucking remake, the original is a classic, this version is GARBAGE.
The original is on here somewhere.
Make sure it's the one where the Charlotte Rampling footage (only shown in europe) back then, is restored. Brings the story like nothing I've seen in another film. I won't spoil it for you.
@@doncollins786 most movie remakes do suck. cant beat the originals
I'm also 67 years old. I watched the original Vanishing Point at a drive-in theater.
I have also owned 5 old school Challengers in this order.
70 - 340 / automatic
70 - 383 / automatic
74 - 360hp / automatic
73 - 340 / pistol grip 4 speed that I had for 19 years.
72 - 340 / automatic
All were fun times.
I currently have a 2022 Challenger R/T.
See the original 1971 director's cut if you can. But even if you can't see the director's cut, the 1971 original is much better than this.
"Live free or die"!!! No ad every 15min is really really appreciated ((: Thanks much!! A french fan of that '71 Challenger R/T
I'm not monetized so I can't control the ads.
What a nostalgic, wonderful movie. Oldies are goldies for sure. Thank you for sharing this classical gem.
This is not an oldie, mate, but the worst remake of all movies that I liked.
@@sextempiric7137the amount of comments praising each and every movie is nuts
And that's a thought that crosses My mind I forget to say thanks for some of things that just happen
@@sextempiric7137 Agreed. Remakes are generally a bad idea. And this one is no exception.
It doesn't breathe the same atmosphere as the '73 version and is therefore just another two dime flick.
Yes ...this is not the original"Vanishing Point " ... VANISHING POINT/1971 .ONE OF THE BEST CAR MOVIES FROM THE 70'S !!! AND A SYMBOL OF AN ERA !!!! ...A CLASSIC !!!
Buncha f'n foreigners taking over the internet.
😮
Is it the one with 2 d9 bulldozers

@@aidanohara3344 I’ve seen paint by numbers that were nicer than Monets
Same title, same car, totally different movie.
The original was a priceless jewell.
So insightful and in tune eith its time.
It was an neat literary work by the great Guillermo Cabrera Infante, one of the best cuban writers of all time.
For a lot of people rather than a movie it was a statement.
For them it was part of their inner dreams of freedom for years.
This one is a little watchable movie.
Its good entertainment for 90 minutes then you totally forget about it.
Massive departure from the original ending.
This brings tears to my eyes whenever I see it.
I remember two different endings of the original. One where he hits the bulldozer blades and one where the car vanishes.
@@wayland7150 I think I've only seen the original where the car impacts. I seem to recall they used a white Camaro in that scene, and it appeared to have had actual impact with the blades, unlike the one in the remake, which only appeared to have burned.
I saw the remake with Viggo first, and as I loved my wife deeply even to this day, like the remakes ending better than the original. But hey, that's me.
Watching this in 2024 really makes you think about the message and the intentions of the G man
Things, especially movies, are often imitated, but NEVER duplicated.
OK, so it's not a complete remake, but it is done well, really well. Thanks for the opportunity for me to see it. I smile when I remember these cars in my childhood, they were everywhere. We knew they were special even as kids back then. I sure miss those days. No seat belts, no worries.

Beautiful movie in spite of any possible flaws. It elevates the human spirit without sensationalism….
Beauitful and nice movie, very good. I hate these cops idiots is chasing Kowalski.
"It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar"!
Excellent movie.
Somebody had to make a comeback on Bullitt! Well, actually, somebody already did. Motorheads commenting on the Bullitt chase sequence say that a Charger with a 440, a NASCAR motor, could easily have outrun a Mustang with a 390, a truck motor with no top end, once the chase got onto the PCH.
Mopar: it'll pass anything on the road....but a gas station!😂😂😂
''exelent'' !!!! this is a joke isant it , watch the real version 1971 , and dirty mary crazy larry 1973 , and find out what is ''exelent ''
What is a Mopar 🎉😂❤
Thank you, one of the best car movies ever! Best regards from Kowalski-land (Poland)
Dziękuję za te słowa.
Poadrawiam z Polski.
Thanks for posting! I never saw the original but watched this baked with mates when I was about 18 and even though it's bit low budget, Viggo and Challenger and that ending sequence made it a movie my friends and I raved about for years!
It's like a producer overheard a couple people talk about a classic movie and after hearing 15 seconds decided to do a remake. I have never seen somone miss the mark by such a wide margin. Won't be long before they do a remake of Citizen Kane about Hershey Kisses. It's movies like this that make me not regret becoming an alcoholic.
If you hadn't watched movies at all, would you regret being an alcoholic.
You're an alcoholic only when you're drinking alcohol. The minut you stop you're not an alcoholic.
But you were joking, I'm sure and this wasn't your joke. 😂
It's a great movie but only really took style tips from the original. In this one there was a point to driving in the desert. There was a point to the drive itself. The movie made sense.
@@wayland7150 The pointless premise of the original - that Kowalski delivered cars cross-country at high speed and took speed while doing it because that is what he did - is part of what made the original so pure. 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.
Atta boy.
Viva el tequila
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Geez Louise!
for a low budget film, this one is a good one, and far beyond its time. as most of what was just starting back then is now being done in the year of 2023.
just wish i had a dvd of it in my collection.
Yeah the complaints about the government were mostly in the wake of Waco and Ruby Ridge. 9-11 and all the excesses since hadn't even happened yet.
Do you mean the restoring of the classic cars or the clampdown on our freedoms?
Growing up my dad owned a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership
Man , the stories i got !!!
What a great time to live in
A fine film, for sure. Same basic theme as the 1971 version, but large parts of the original story have been 'restructured' and new elements have been introduced. Even the ending has been modified. Nevertheless, a movie still worth a viewing...so thanks for the upload!
Darn good film, brings back some old memories of my Mini Cooper back in the 60s. Luckily I got done once only for speeding, the rest, say no more. Thanks for the upload.
The Italian Job!
I did not expect such a good film at this platform, live is full of surprises, cheers
The original is better.
@@cunning-stunt 1000%
Good film? That's probably because you missed the original.
Just remembering being a hotrodder in the eighties. Stuck with rebuilding Quadrajet carburetor and my friend taught me a trick aside from bigger jets was drilling holes in the floats so they drop quicker at full throttle. We used to know a guy at the airport as well so we would get airplane fuel and mix it with our gasoline.
It was great to see Peta Wilson in a roll other than La Femme Nikita, even though I was a total fan of the series. : )
I almost cried when that 68 R/T rolled...it was beautiful !! I enjoyed this version of the movie, but now I need to find the original for comparison.
I always cry when Hollywierd destroys mopars. Glad I kept my 68 black charger
He's a racing driver, at the wheel of a car that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, with a top speed of nearly 150mph, plus handling and brakes to match, yet ordinary cops (who usually are crappy drivers) in ordinary police cruisers (0-60 in about 10 seconds, with a top speed of about 110mph, that handle like a barge) are able to keep within one car length behind him at all times.
It isn’t a documentary you know.
One of the cops also had a Challenger R/T. The Crown Victoria can be quite quick, lets assume they were the ones with a supercharger. Turning your lights off worked for me a couple of times when being chased.
@@wayland7150
Wrong.....The dickhead cop had a Charger R/T......
The Challenger in the original movie was a supercharged 426 Hemi.
I can't remember what car they used in the suicide scene but it wasn't a Challenger.
The Challenger in this movie is just a 4-bbl.
Back in the day I would also run lights off when eluding....I also had a brake-light cutout switch....When racing on mountain roads, I used my brake lights to mind-fvck someone running on my back bumper...... Good times.
The Sheriff's Department here in Coos County Oregon ran 440 Plymouths back then...... These things had lots of power but they handled like hogs in the twisties.....
I never was caught.
@@wayland7150 No P71/P7B Police package cars came with a supercharger. Its the plain old 4.6L 2-valve engine that is in the Mustang, making 250hp. And the slowest shifting automatic transmission known to man. The biggest departure VS civilian package is 3:27 rear gears for quicker accelerationat the expense of top speed.

You rock, sir, for putting all these movies on UA-cam
They will catch on sooner or later and then they will be gone.
I saw the original movie when first it came out and never got a chance to see it again. Then I saw this version . This was an awesome remake. Thanks for posting.
It's disappearing rapidly from existence. I bought the last copy on DVD I could find last year, still haven't watched it (mainly not having a console or dvd player that work anymore).
I know. My VHS player gave up the ghost several years ago now I have hundreds of video tapes. Maybe It'll make a comeback like LP albums. @@zchris87v80
IMHO the original was perfect. It had most of all two very key things. Clevon Little as Super Soul and it also had continuity from great editing. Of note is that the way Viggo is pushing that Hemi R/T is using a TON of gas...Final observation is the fed guy must have been a precursor of the modern nanny state. Fed agent will lie and obfuscate in order to push the agenda...
NUMBAH ONE, NUMERO UNO!
The MAN is always willing to do anything it takes to get his man...OR was that the RCMP.... Same Byrd
The original Vanishing point must be one of the most epic car movies of all time, I have watched it countless time and I always get completely carried away. That white Challenger is simply an iconic car, the symbol of an unmatched era and generation 😎
I liked the original better, though this is the best remake of any movie I've seen. Still, having "Stevie Wonder" playing the DJ and his final comment on the ride was better, IMO. 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.
Yes and I liked the girl on the motorcycle on the first movie much better, she was way more natural aye 😉
"..saw it with my date at the drive-in.." No offence but if you saw that much of the movie it must have been a dud date! 😆
As I remembered about “Vanishing Point” as the best 1971 Classic Movie after I graduated with my high school diploma from MSSD ( Model Secondary School for the Deaf in Washington, D.C.) with my first Class of 1971 ( Friday June 11, 1971), I notice that “ Vanishing Point” as 1997 full movie that is captioned for the deaf is changing in some things - Not same as “ Vanishing Point “ as 1971 movie in a fact.
What a great film - first time ever watched 10/10- thanks for sharing

My neighbor had and orange Challenger with black vinyl roof. He taught me how to do donuts in the school parking lot across the street from our houses. I was 13 years old.
Oh, this is a remake.
Can't be better than the original!
It absolutely is
@@CruizersMotorsports I agree. Protagonists that an audience like can go pretty far.

I'm only 68.
Can you post 1990's Buried Alive ?@@CruizersMotorsports
The full meaning of the title doesn't become clear until reaching the story conclusion. Then you realize the title couldn't be more perfect for this story.
That's the reason why I kept my 68 charger RT with a 440 interceptor badass
Jealous 😡!
My dreamcar ever❤❤
If you haven't yet, you NEED to see the original. It had so much more pathos, feeling, and just plain soul! The ending was just plain amazing, not like this feeble attempt.
I wasnt high enough to understand it
I agree.
The original is excellent but I like this version also. This one is easier to follow and makes more sense. In the original there was no reason for him to drive like that other than meeting an arbitrary deadline. In the original I loved the way each of his friends gave him the opportunity to take it easy and not go on this mad drive.
@@wayland7150 He was pretty well cranked up on speed, that's reason enough to do all sorts of stupid things, lol!
Only praise for this film, I will watch it again next week, and probably again the week after that❤
Watching this movie for the first time,two hours for the new year🎉 what a night to spend the night!!!,but worth it.😊
Very well done and provided good entertainment. The original was great as well. I can imagine doing something like this. But I would not get in a situation like the ending of these two classic car chase movie's. A great classic car as well. It would be a very huge adventure. Fun movie for sure,,, Hmmmmm, A adventure,,,, I would restore and build a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/442 build with the L75 455 engine. Equipped with the full HURST OLDS 442 performance package. Well,,,, It would have to be a much different less involved cross country run, chase, adventure. But fun if kept in check!!!
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 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.
Supposedly the friend buying the oil pan for a 70 Challenger catches everyone's attention. If Kowalski is a car guy, then he would arrange for an oil pan to be bought, mentioning a parts cross over to something bland like a 73 Monaco with a 400 V8 (uses same oil pan as a 426).
Keith David, talented , actor, director and producer.love the back ground music.
and epic voice actor!
Spawn !
The good old times ! ❤ How we all miss them ..
Very enjoyable, and a few minutes in I realized I'd seen a movie like that before.
But the lead was popping pills.
From comments, and a quick search, I was right.
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.
WHEW! For a few moments there ....Thanx. I s
aw the other version around 1970.
You cant make #2better than the original.The first breath you take is the most important one and without it there is no second breath
You came to find a spirituality in action movies? Well, that lion has been thrown back into the cage, soon after the scene was finished. Mortensen went out that night with your sister, and they agreed that the best 3 things are: beer before and cigarete after.
The mountain lion scene brought it home how in touch he was. You'd not approach that lion unless you knew it understood your intentions.
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.
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 absolutely loved this movie! I'm going to hold on to the idea that he is with his beloved wife now.
I graduated in '77. This was one of the hardest movies to find once it hit VHS.
Great movie. The harsh truth of individuals. How does the government condemn us for something personal without hurting anyone...
The FBI man and the Challenger Cop both wanted to stamp their authority on the man. The Voice said there was a time when the police would have provided the man an escort to the hospital. The elected Sherif and the FBI 2nd in command had the right idea, let the man drive to the hospital and see his wife. Then arrest him the next day politely by knocking on his door. Heck he would have handed himself in and saved them the fuel.
Thats exactly the point. This could be a completely true story. Anytime. But if you ever want reallity to look realy absurd, just read the constitution.
@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx Isn't it funny how having similar viewpoints to the founding fathers makes you a "domestic terrorist" nowadays?
The original came out 1971. I saw it Oct 1972.
1973 had a 1971 Olds 442 (4 barrel, 4 speed &
Dual exhaust) Loved that car. Had a real good
Cruise 1973 from Fairbanks to Palmer. Nothing but tundra, got to roll, no cops, no drones, no
"Bear in tge air." It was GREAT!
1971 vs 1997
Pretty decent driving scenes. Be nice if we could see the 1971. version, but this was worth watching.
Thanks
Portlandia OR USA 🇺🇸
This movie is great. Wish I could drive all over town like this. I know you can’t but it would be fun to try. Thank you
Watch the film Rendezvous where you ride in a GT40 through Paris.
Absolutely amazing film and superb story.
Love Viggo Mortensen in this and in another fantastic movie "A history of violence".
Thanks so much for the upload and thoroughly enjoyed.
Subscribe. There is more coming.
@@CruizersMotorsports Done! Thanks.
Cronenberg is still one of my favorite directors.
@@CruizersMotorsports Very nice this movie, beautiful. I hate the death of Kowalski
Hidalgo!!!
Damn I got real excited then, this ain’t the movie we were looking for 😢
1971 is king
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 👍
YEAH " RUBBISH NOT FOR VIEWING " would have been appropriate LOL
I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the original. This telling of the story made more sense but was not as 'iconic' as the original.
If they hadnt used the same title half of the Viewers wouldnt have watched It.
Incredible movie! Thanks So much for sharing hun,
Thank you for this great upload! No I'm not in my 67 Super Sport at the drive in with my girl,, But this is a very good movie! It's sure worth the watch! Merry Christmas to all.
I had one too. 67 chevelle SS 396 turbojet, Quadra-jet carb?. Dark blue automatic, two door. Couldn't keep my foot out of the carb.
First time seeing this movie. Great story. Gotta love Viggo and Jason here!. Amazing Mopars on display. Chrysler couldn't have a better endorsement.. If you like car chases rolled into a love story this is the movie!
I knew it had to be a remake. But found this one just as good.
it was the lamest story ever!
love, love, love this movie and always have!
This is why you shoud always get your car shipped by a professional car transporter business that owns its own auto transport equipment (Royal Crown Towing llc AZ)
I grew up with this movie 😢! ❤ it!!
A movie, where the car is the STAR! Sorry about your demonetization dude. Bring the noise my friend!
Excelente película!! muchas gracias por subirla para todos!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Thanks love old movies. The movies of today are junk.
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...
It is worthwhile.
Just watched.
Also saw the first take late 70's.
Not dissapointed.
You like the real one this is sh*t
Apology accepted 😊
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.
That overly eager cop though in the traffic stop 😤 lol
Edit. This was a great movie lol I can't believe I've never even seen it before 🤔
I like this version better than the original only because he survives and lives with his daughter in remembrance of her mother/ his wife. The original had a final and sad ending.
You can never beat a classic and Barry Newman will always be Kowalski. But this is a worthwhile reworking of 'Vanishing Point'.
I saw this movie years ago. Loved it then..... Loved it now.
Thanks for the upload! Any viewer of this video owes it to themselves to search out the original 1971 version starring Barry Newman!
Thanks I couldn’t find this movie anywhere
Saw this at the theater and was awed by the driving.
Not like the original, but a nice dose of vintage Mopar Muscle. Flubs obviously, like 4 brake lights, then only two working, but, for fans of classics, OK.
👀 WOW!! Ending part brought 😢 to my eyes! The flick was a supper great flick! Highly recommended!
I have the original in my collection. However , this is a well done remake in my opinion. Viggo was well casted.
The DVD has a special place in my library.....happy solstice.
Nah, not a patch on the original. Barry Newman RIP
'Federal government has called you their enemy...I will call you my friend' Best line I have ever heard.
Too bad they don't make good movies like this anymore 😢
I had a 71 challenger back in the early 90s. I customized the dashboard and instrument panel. I also did the body work and painted it light gray on the sides with a darker shade of gray on the hood, top and trunk.
I also changed the interior carpet to white. Man I miss that car.
When I see this movie in the last part my tears is falling I'm very sad 😭😭 great movie love it
Wow . This was much better than I’d expected
Couldn't make this movie today.
No one can drive a standard.
I'm 35, taught my brother and two buddies to drive stick back in my 20s. Not many manuals around to drive anymore.
Thanks for the content. Unfortunately you have been demonetized as a result. Ill support the sticker merch
1.1 million views. No merch sales. Probably the last movie I upload.
There's no car like a Mopar and they can't build it like they did in the 60s and 70s but we could buy real gas at the pumps lmao
Not that It matters a new challenger would blow the doors off of this car and a Demon even more. But they do make them better now at least the hot rod ones.
i was there at the drive-in with my brother sister and his friends who had just stole a brand new plymouth road runner 440 fully loaded. i drove backward through the back gate exit only , we got to watch most of the movie, we were all tripping on mushrooms. i was only 18 and everyone else were 5 years younger the kids that stole the car were like 12 years old. after the movie i was pissed off how it all ended, when we left out the back gate the road led directly to the express. So i desided to see just how fast this thing could go. before i got to 4th gear i was at 90 mph standing on it in a few mow seconds i hit 160 then 180 and wasnt even trying to slow down when i heard everybody crying and girls screaming in terror at how powerful this car exactly was plus it didnt have a back seat because it was someone, race car my brothers 12 year old friends just stole. i cant remember, i did slow down , but i cant remember anything about what happened to the car after taking us all home, i guess we made it here i am lol...and that movie sucked. after watching it now that im 70
Shrooms..... HehHehHeh
So, you stared at the speedo in amazement...Then realized it was the dash clock....
I'm miss the 80s and 90s I remember that radio Alpine the Benzie box we used to call them I miss the 80s and 90s I don't like today's generation everybody has no respect walks with their heads down I don't have a clue what's going on around them
Questo genere di video mi fanno ricordare i Chips della California,bravi❤❤❤
This may be a remake of the original 1971 film of the same name but it looks and feels more like an assassination of the nuanced and near-mystical original. The only way I could give this a star is if it is 1 out of 10.
