We finally rounded up a DVD of the movie Vanishing Point yesterday and could hardly wait to get home to watch it. The last time I had seen it was at the Drive Inn with a case a beer and a few of my best buds when it was first released. So, it was like watching the movie for the first time again.
Does anyone know what motor was in the Challenger? There's references made to it being 'Supercharged'. I am no Mopar expert by any stretch but certainly don't believe that Dodge supercharged any of their Challengers, even the R/T's. And then the main character tells one of his friends what it is but we couldn't quite make out what he said because of all the background noise but I thought he said 'a suped up 1.7'
Over all I thought it was a good movie for what it was. The movie was not overly packed with car crashes but still had some awsome chase scenes. And who wouldn't want to be behind the wheel of their car (no matter what kind it is) on those way long straight stretches of pavement. Looking forward to watching the movie again with the Directors commentary.
