Vanishing Point
Thrills, spills and a handful of pills. It all adds up to one of the most spectacular car chases in motion picture history! Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, the last American hero, who set out to prove that he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in just fifteen hours. Along the way, he meets an old prospector (Dean Jagger), a snake worshipper, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a blind D.J. (Cleavon Little) who "sees" danger ahead in this super-charged, action-packed adventure! more

Goldfield,NV
I bought this movie after hearing that it was filmed in Goldfield, NV. It was so cool to see the town and what it looked like almost 40 years ago. It used to be the largest town in Nevada boasting 300,000 people a hundred years ago. The Goldfield Hotel in which Super Soul broadcasted his radio...

Iconic 70's-generation defining movie
It might `only' be a chase movie in terms of plot - but this movie reeks so much of the period in which it was made it is more like an historical record of a nations mood.Barry Newman is an ex policeman and ex stock car racer, who now is reduced to delivering cars for a living. In pushing...

Vanishing Point...on BluRay!
Though I'm now in my fifties I'm afraid I'll never grow up: I still like "Vanishing Point", done so ever since I saw it first in the early seventies. I've seen in on tv, had it on tape, still have it on laserdisc and on standard DVD, still have the LP soundtrack and now, finally I have it on...

best of the best
By far the best car chase movie ever made. Kowalski and a 1970 Challenger, it doesn't get any better than that. The music kept pace with the movie which is rare these day's due to studios trying to sell music cd's as well as the movie. The meaning to the story, it's better to burn out than fade...

Not a car chase movie
Don't get wrong : this is not a fantastic car chase movie. It's a movie from the early seventies about freedom, about America living the end of a golden age, about a country made of hope and contradictions. It is also about space, and time, about beauty (the desert is amazingly beautyful).R....

It Still Holds Up Today
I saw this in the theater in 1972 while restrained in the Marine Corps and was transported by the music, wide open desert spaces, anti-establishment themes, Kowalski's sense of fair play and nude hippie chicks on motorcycles. In other words all the freedoms I missed while being in the service. I...
