Seen this back in 71 at the drive in, I was 7 years old. I can't tell you how this movie effected my life so much. I have watched this movie over 300 times, directors cut DVD, I am a mopar man for sure, own and have owned many. I have seen all the car movies and this is my absolute favorite, but do love Bullitt, The french connection, The driver, and all the pathetic CGI movies too. RIP Barry Newman.

I love how the Challenger's front end is aimed at the sky with that 440 screaming.

Hey! That's a 68 Camaro! Super Soul Kowalski, must still be alive!

When my mother passed away, my Challenger Became my fastest way of leaving Life! I've Had it at 182 with 8th gear left. It's been 5 yrs since my Mother left this God forsaking shit hole! I Promise if, I decide to leave, or It was to be Me..Leaving this Shit Ball Early...I will Have a Go Pro to see my face, and the end of My Hurt..within Milla Seconds! To be and always remembered as, , Hold My Beer, and Check This Shit Out!

That JetRanger was green lined on airspeed to 140 knots ( a little over 150 mph) so - when Kowalski kicked down to 3rd and drove away - stunt pilot James Gavin must have been slow walking it some. 2:52

[lebazartonytruand]

I already watch this movie, in the past. But I still don't understand why Kowalski could not avoid the bulldozers ?

[Spennyman]

Challenger morphed into a Camaro after the crash.

[shabadoo]

I never seen the movie from start to finish. Why was the cops after him anyway

[RLTango]

For the uninitiated - here is the Vanishing Point v. Knoghts of Cydonia mash-up:

Beautiful car but really cheaply built. Cheap plastic interior and no inner wheel well liners.
