My brother and I were kids and I think we saw that film at least 3 times.

Love it. When I was a kid, cable TV was so new that they were testing it in a dozen different markets. Our town was one of them. First-run movies in constant rotation. “Dirty Harry,” “Vanishing Point,” “Electraglide in Blue,”. “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.”

Great movie, TCM played the uncut version with Charlotte Rampling as a hitchhiker fairly recently. One of those crazy flawed 70s movies that had a lot of heart. That awesome white challenger wound out tight sounded great in that movie. Another one of those with cool cars is the original Gone in 60 Seconds.

My uncle had a Challenger of that vintage. He gave it away after becoming convinced he’d die in it if he kept it. Guess what happened within a year. :(

First saw this in CA, when I was in the Army.
Since then...I’ve watched that movie dozens of times, and I’ve enjoyed it every damn time!

1971 was a very eclectic and existential year for movies, a trend that continued on for much of the 1970s.

I find it ironic that in several movies from the 60s to the 80s showed a dystopian future where California is regarded as a free state or the last bastion of freedom. Boy did that not happen.

The plot for Vanishing Point reminds of the Brian Setzer song “Hellbent” from his album “Ignition.” (The band’s name for this album is “’68 Comeback Special,” but it’s a Brian Setzer album. Perhaps his best!)
If you’re a psychobilly music fan, check out Setzer’s song “Hellbent.”

The device of an admiring DJ narrating what’s going on reminds me of The Warriors.

The remake had a better story line. But the women on the bike was ah... Nowhere near as interesting.

Some scenes were filmed on I-70 around my hometown in western Colorado. It was kind of exciting at the time.

My favorite car chase movie is still “Duel”. Dennis Weaver’s Plymouth Duster dash was exactly like my ‘72 Dodge Dart at the time.
