This was on last night on one of the classic movie channels in all of its uncut glory (swearing, nudity, pot etc). I had not see it in years, it was really better than I remembered it. Having seen only cut tv versions, I was quite surprised (and pleased) to see the prett young lady riding around on the Honda (naked) for like 5 minutes. Also did they beat the living crap out of the Challenger(s) or what, holy cow!
I am thinking it was a Firebird at the end, I watched it frame by frame, the tail lights, sail panel, and silver painted wheels struck me as Pontiac, although I was always told it was a Camaro.
Is there some kind of message here, like it wasn't really Kowalski that crashed?
I have the dvd version of the movie and the director talks about the cars in the commentary. He said Chrysler gave them so many and they wrecked all but 1 and some lady stole it, but they got it back. I know they used a camaro at the end of the movie when it ran into the bulldozers.
