TH-cam has demonetized me for bringing you these classic car movies. Please support the channel by buying merch! www.ebay.com/itm/126085282239
i call bullshit on that 1 , theres way too many ads in this movie for you to be demonitized.
@@michaellyons9640 its unoriginal content they say. You can literally look to see if a channel is monetized
No way they can legally do that to you.
@@GloryBound1971 its their platform, they can do what they want
We can do more than that we can post a complaint I have done this before If enough do it they will review it and most likly reverse there decision .I have had success twice doing this.
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
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.
I have a 1971 Dodge Challenger, 318 AT, fresh paint F8 green looking great.
@@cmscms123456 oh my word... I envie you! Would love to just sit in one again. I know you are taking good care of it! Makes me happy to know they are still out there. I only have one picture of my Challenger, I had in the Marine Corps and I cherish it. Thanks for commenting. Namaste. 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.
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.
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
th-cam.com/video/o87YqLTAoks/w-d-xo.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...
@@cloaked2562 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 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
Give er hell Dale
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
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.
Relationship Kinda like the movie huh
I was hoping for a Hollywood story all you gave us was a country song lol. Bet it's a great memory
@@t-ruckinhick2002
He gave you the full story, go make your own story
What happened with your date?
Them .400/455 Pontiac big blocks ruled the streets !
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.
"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 ''
My mom took me to the theatre to see the original when I was six or seven years old.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
I grew up on car-chase movies and this one got by me somehow-what a great movie!
You need to get a life
You haven't seen many movies then.... a guy driving a car..favourite movie of all time?
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.
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.
Growing up my dad owned a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership
Man , the stories i got !!!
What a great time to live in
It hurts my heart 💔 my uncle took his life thiis way...he was a decorated Vietnam veteran... RIP cpl Robert E. Ramos🇺🇲🇵🇷🫡✌️🥃
Sad
Rest in Peace Sir !! you are in the hands of God !! No one will be letf behnd !!
@@deltaforce3329 ... that's how uncle Bobby died...he saved his buddies from an NVA ambush...he was taken POW 😢
My sympathies.
he got fbi'd? rest in peace
Things, especially movies, are often imitated, but NEVER duplicated.
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!
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.
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.
Yes ...this is not the original"Vanishing Point " ...VANISHING POINT/1971 .ONE OF THE BEST CAR MOVIES FROM THE 70'S !!! A CLASSIC !!!
Buncha f'n foreigners taking over the internet.
😮
Is it the one with 2 d9 bulldozers
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 .
@@aidanohara3344 I’ve seen paint by numbers that were nicer than Monets
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?
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

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.
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.
Source: I daily one.
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.
Keith David, talented , actor, director and producer.love the back ground music.
and epic voice actor!
Spawn !
That's the reason why I kept my 68 charger RT with a 440 interceptor badass
Jealous 😡!
My dreamcar ever❤❤
Yea they was very fast! But, not faster then my olds omega with a .455 big block Pontiac in it.never was beat by a ford or mopar.GM 427/454 gave some close runs in the 70's &80's but never got beat in that car ..mostly stock..even the highway gas saver gears..the 500 plus pond feet of torque ran strong with them
Watching this in 2024 really makes you think about the message and the intentions of the G man
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
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.
"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.
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
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.
Thank you, one of the best car movies ever! Best regards from Kowalski-land (Poland)
Only praise for this film, I will watch it again next week, and probably again the week after that❤
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!
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.
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.
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 am 72 years old and I still remember the ending of original .
I'm only 68.
Can you post 1990's Buried Alive ?@@CruizersMotorsports
love, love, love this movie and always have!
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.
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).
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! 😆
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
In the original, I will never forget the blonde on the Honda!!
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
You should watch the real movie I don't what this is
Vigg0 was in THe R0ad and Hist0ry 0f vi0lence g00d m0vies
@stevenrobert8567 you should watch the first movie, then you see how soft this movie is
the 1971 0riginal is great, I must watch it again
Damn I got real excited then, this ain’t the movie we were looking for 😢
1971 is king
The good old times ! ❤ How we all miss them ..
Saw this at the theater and was awed by the driving.
I grew up with this movie 😢! ❤ it!!
Watching this movie for the first time,two hours for the new year🎉 what a night to spend the night!!!,but worth it.😊
This was a good remake of the original ... Held its own.
I got into the muscle cars, '68 Road Runner and '71 Challenger, and high crazy speeds as a teen and early 20s - by God's grace I'm still alive after the mid to late 1970s.
That got my baby brother exposed ... He still into the Mopar muscles with a nice '72 convertible with a 340 and also a newer white Hellcat.
Each to there own.never liked any mopar ..loved to race them back in the 70&80's..Pontiac big blocks in GM cars always been my way to go.one of witch I was never beat by a Ford or mopar with hundreds of races under my belt and that Pontiac Ventura with .455 .over 500 foot pounds of torque.. Kansas flat power band , light weight ..novas, omegas, ventures awesome cars to fix up for street / 1/4 mike
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.
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!
When I see this movie in the last part my tears is falling I'm very sad 😭😭 great movie love it
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.
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!!!
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?
I saw this movie years ago. Loved it then..... Loved it now.
My first new car was a 70 charger RT. I preferred the 69. It was plum crazy white interior, white vinyl top. I sold it to a high school girl who restored it. But with a black vinyl top. Too bad I didn't keep it. The suspension was inadequate and the brakes abysmal, but I loved it!!! Db
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.
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!
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!
When I saw this wasn't the original, I wasn't going to watch it. Then I remembered that Peta Wilson was in it... Always follow your heart 🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you for this,
merry christmas an happy holidays
Excelente película!! muchas gracias por subirla para todos!!! Saludos desde Argentina
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 🇺🇸
Really brings life to the words
"Live Free, Or Die".
WE LOVE THE "OLD"MOVIES--THEY ARE "THE BEST"--THANKS FOR SHAIRING-
A classic of classics!!!
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.
Thanks I couldn’t find this movie anywhere
Thanks for the upload! Any viewer of this video owes it to themselves to search out the original 1971 version starring Barry Newman!
One of the best movies from my time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have the original in my collection. However , this is a well done remake in my opinion. Viggo was well casted.
Even the car is named Challenger!
Good timing, thanks!
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
I absolutely loved this movie! I'm going to hold on to the idea that he is with his beloved wife now.
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.
Fabulous movie, good old oldies.
Thanks for the uploading.
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.
Classic movie But hilarious when reporter said he hit at 180mph Americans call them muscle cars and i love them for their style and v8 burble but they are everything except fast. The fastest European at the time was the Testarossa, now that was touching 180! Unfortunately youd be lucky to get 140 out of one of these things and with the underpinnings, suspension etc, do that at your peril lol
140 mph with stock cars. But only a few. Do some customizing and they do much more. That chapter was opened already during prohibition. 140mph is 224kmh. Thats fast. 180mph is 288kmh! My personal limit was almost 260kmh. You feel every side wind then. A pebble on the road can loosen hell. I wouldn't try it anymore. The roads were in a much better condition when I was young.
The DVD has a special place in my library.....happy solstice.
Thanks for this, dude. It's been so, so long since I saw it last. Why does it still resonate in 2023, FFS ?
I have been waiting for this one for many many years.Thank you so much .❤🎉🎉 Now for King Rat movie please.
"No Thanks Necessary, Jim, That's Why We're Put On This Earth.....To Help Each Other".
What a great line! This was often bagged as a crap remake, but i really like it. Sure it's not as good as the original, but ain't bad either imho.
I hear you I can't believe that they called it that my self
I loved the original ! ❤❤❤❤
Nah, not a patch on the original. Barry Newman RIP
Thankyou for uploading this movie
Good on Jason Priestley for standing up for truth in this movie
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 🤔
Awesome movie, absolutely an awesome Dodge. Great film
The original movie Vanishing Point and that TransAm in the movie Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges or that Mustang with Steve McQueen in Bullett!.. best car movies…
truly worthy to be watched to the end
Incredible movie! Thanks So much for sharing hun,
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.
What a great movie! I thoroughly enjoyed it, the drivers in it did a great job also. Thankyou
The cars are good, the story tells the truth... Thanks
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.
