Motion Pictures vanishing point on tonight

dvr alert, 7pm tonight on Sundance channel, Vanishing point from 1971.

 

Thanks for the heads up! I have not had a muscle car fix in a loooong while. Gotta break out my bell bottoms and polyester shirt. Yes. I still have a set.

 

Always thought it was funny that they crashed a Camaro in the end not a challenger.

 

I'd think that would be a good thing considering.

 

DOH....

*Spoiler alert*

now I guess I hafta watch - Death Proof - on the beta max

 

What? They crash the hero car? Damn, talk about a wet blanket...thanks a lot....

 

No they didn't crash the hero car.
Sorry I figured everyone has seen the movie.

 

I had an uncle that bought one, 440 6-pak, right after the movie came out. A couple years later, my family visited and he gave my dad and I a ride. We drove from Port Lavaca to Victoria, Texas in what seemed like 10 minutes. I was only about 13, but I remember my dad laughing his *** off and yelling to go faster. VERY good memories of that car.

 

I got it on Blu-ray, but don't have a player

 

There was a 1997 remake with Viggo Mortenson that was on Fox.

As much as I love the original I wanted to really hate it.

I couldn't. In fact I enjoyed it. In some aspects I believe it was better.

Even without 10 minutes of bare ***ties on a dirt bike.

 

Read this thread just in time! All set to record. Thanks.

 

While we're on the subject, how many have seen TWO GUNS yet ?
Movie starts with Denzel and Mark W. wheeling around in a '69 -'70's Challenger. VERY nice car, not a show car, but they make it sound like a HEMI.
I whispered to Wifey, "I hope they don't trash that car !"
GREAT GUY MOVIE, (but my Wifey liked it - she liked Dirk Diggler too)!

 

Thanks it comes on at 9:15 here. I'll turn it on after the football game. I've been wanting to see it again. The newer one was on a couple of weeks ago. Not as good.

 

I've always enjoyed the "finding freedom on the road" films made around that time period. As good as "Two lane Blacktop" is, this is better because I didn't have watch it twice to get it.

Think I'll pop in "Easy Rider' afterwards. Wish this had come on Saturday. It's supposed to rain all that day and it would have been perfect for a roadster shut in.

 

Appears to be supercharged!

 

Replay at 12:15 am est if you missed it at 7 pm...

I always like the line in crazy Larry and dirty Mary
My top end is unlimited.

 

Already got it on DVD. Thanks.

 

Not to change the subject but I was always kind of sweet on Dirty Mary. It's a good movie also.

 

We must be close to the same age think I had a crush on her too.
I haven't seen that movie for ever.

 

When I was younger, she would have been a "dirty leg". That's a girl you can call any time of the night and she'll invite you over. Ahhh, those germ free early 80's.

 

Right before it blew up

 

Thats a riot! Never heard that term but those were the fun girls for sure.

 

Was it the old one with Barry Newman or the new one. HRP

 

I seem to remember he (the cop) wrecked THAT car.

 

Ah, Susan George, nice in a ****y kind of way, at least in that movie.

 

funny....my buddie that got one of mine's kid bought a new one in 99'? when they came out....he had been rat holen' some dough - dad signed for the rest....it's a white one....and it's tagged "Vanished" on the spolier if you see it in North TX......had a few back n the day....

 

It is the old one. If you missed it is on again at 11:15PM tonight on Sundance.

 

'99?

 

I remember looking for the the movie for my vcr back in the 80's.
Pretty much a cult cl***ic.
