Default RE: Vanishing Point


ORIGINAL: mopar440

Ya, it would be cool if they did come out with a VP edition, but unfortunately their is a licensing issue that goes along with this, just like when the had the Roadrunner, they had to pay Warner Bros. to use the little bird. As for the movie, I think the orginal was better. You should know this, the car they crashed into the dozers at the end was a base model Camaro, the original Vanishing Point Challenger still exist in a private collection.
The original Vanishing Point is film art. It is by far better than the remake. I am pretty sure one of the original Challengers was stolen by a local hooker off the set lol. Also, there was one scene where Kowalski almost hit a civilian car head on, that was an accident that really happened while filming while Barry Newman was actually driving and some local decided to drive around the road locks set up for the filming and they left it in the film lol.
