I happened to catch Vanishing Point on Fox Classic tonight. I was quite amusing. Some impressions:
That year Challenger is very similar to the new body style. I could see a lot of styiling details like the hood scoops that they carried over.
I was a bit disappointed that they didn't discuss the performance of the car that Kowalski drove. They hinted that it may be supercharged, but they never discussed the car much and never showed a speedometer to show how fast they were going. They did show Kowalski pulling away from the cops but he could never really lose them. They overlayed some great muscle car motor sounds (including squealing tires on dirt!) which makes me want to lose my stock (although pretty large diameter) exhaust.
I was really laughing at the command center that they had set up in Caifornia. They had this big map on a panel that had a red light that flashed behind Kowalskis' assumed position. It was particularly interesting that 90% of the people in this command center were women. I have no idea what that signified.
Anyone else see it tonight? Comments?
