That scene alone honours the original movie from 1970/71. Makes both movies equally iconic (IMHO). Besides " 'takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" and "My wife yes. My dog maybe. My Dodge... NEVER" are classics..lol
This was a good movie, I bought a 1970 challenger , 426 hemi race engine , mine is black 4 speed manual dana 60 positrack full options, it was my graduation present when my parents won a shitload of cash in Reno 1971. I was the coolest guy in my high school.. Still have it, never sell it for any price....
I bought a 70 Challenger 440 R/T SE back in 1973 with 16 thousand original miles. It was a 4 speed car with a 410 dana. I ran it up to 6 grand on 35w between Forest lake MN and New Brighton MN at around 5:30 on a Sunday morning with no other traffic I was going right around 120 mph with calm winds. The aerodynamics were so poor the front end got enough air under it that I could not keep it in one lane. I have driven cars across frozen lakes at eighty MPH and felt that I had more control. So the 160 Mph they showed on the movie car speedo was shall we say a little bit of creative licence on the directors part. But lets face it no buddy bought those types of cars for their top speed especially with 410 gears. Mine could hold its own stop light to stop light racing on Central ave between the Sun Drive in and White Castle in Minneapolis.
My heart breaks every time, it is said that if you listen carefully at 3:00am you can hear the ghost of a speeding 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T on the road way over yonder...... :'(
Not only is the 1971 version a WAY better movie, but in the original, Kowalski always stuck around to see if the people that crashed were okay. It was part of his goodguy character.
HEY Joe. You'll be glad to hear that if you look really close at the end of the 71 version , it's a 67 or 68 camreo YEAH no shit seems that the producer's were mopar people
@@robertadams9699 actually it had something to do with Chrysler. They didn't want any of their cars even used in the movie. I read an article on this year's ago. Something to that nature.
That car (or any car for that matter) would be less than half of its original length after a crash like that. And how did the wheels change from Mopar Ralley rims to Cragar SS?
The end music is so Beautiful the car chase the voice hard so explain just makes me want to see my dad agen he went to heaven in 2017 so I miss him so much thank you for your time
"It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" Yet another case of Hollywood's disconnection from reality! PS. Having certain scenes repeat 3-4 times, just simply Sucked Balls... Stop It !!!!!
and then the demon came out and now it's got quite a title going for it. there aren't a whole lot of vehicles that can run 10's in the 1/4 from the factory. super cars can't even beat the demon's raw horsepower. and even the hyper cars struggle to do it. the only vehicle that poses a challenge is the tesla p100d.
Never ceases to amaze me that whenever a car crashes and explodes into flames, the front end of the car just erupts in those flames despite the fact that there is probably not more than a pint of gas in the carb and fuel lines in the front of the car.
My first girlfriend lost her innocence in the backseat of my '68 R/T Charger. Two months later her sister lost hers on my hood! I wish I would have kept that beauty (the car.......of course)!
I like the original but in 1997 version it was more EMOTIONAL to see how he realised he lost everything, how everything he did lost its meaning, and how in the last seconds of his life he dreamed of his wife in the guise of an angel. And then BOOM! Both movies were pure fun but 1997 was a little bit better for me
Having seen the original Vanishing Point "first run", double featured w/Easy Rider at an Indy drive-inn in 1971, I must say THIS IS ONE LAME MOVIE! Dad burned the tires in our '67 Coronet 500 pulling out, after "Captain America & Billy" and "Kowalski" died...as did practically everyone. The drive-inn "cop" just looked away...heh heh. That was a great summer!! Dang, now I'm nostalgic, missing my Mom & Dad. Dumb-ole RUclips anyway...
I agree, the first one was WAY better. This one it seemed like they thought how can we keep it as close as we can to the original but really screw it up. Worst part was the ending. They should never have added the commentary
I love the original Vanishing Point, as it portrays something of the nihilism of late Vietnam-era US culture with Barry Newman and a white Challenger on the road to nowhere. This remake was so godawful that I was rooting for the bulldozers...
Original movie... Kowalski chose the bulldozers. They were the vanishing point of his life. The whole movie was a series of flashbacks on Kowalski's life that began and ended with the bulldozers. A *man* living his life on his own terms and ending it the same way.
Good compilation of old and new mixed together. The original was 1971 of course. Enjoyed this one. In the real movie, the car that hit the bulldozers was a Camaro.
Actually the original Vanishing Point the Challengers were 1970's not '71's. There were multiple ones, I believe 4. The cars were loaned/leased to them to make the movie and had to return them when done filming. Therefore they toed a stripped '67 Camaro into the bulldozers.
+pmkrak So 4 people ended up with gently driven 70 Challengers. The ending is impressive as hell, much better than CGI. I got to do an Alinement on a 70 Challenger 440/Pistol grip 4speed in 1989 or so and it was ALOT faster than I expected.
bill hickman... a legend. I'll always remember the face on his passenger in the chase in that movie, a look of total stunned awe and a good bit of fear as he whipped that whale through traffic in what had to have been a pants-shitting experience no matter how much choreography was involved (he gets the credit for that too because he was also the choreographer). I could never tell how much of that face was real, but seeing the driving I believe there wasn't any acting involved.
Haha! "Hit those bulldozers at over 180mph." My ass... That challenger would be the size of a super sub-compact car if it did that. Not to mention the bulldozers would be seriously hurting.
The original Vanishing Point is so much better. In the original production the Challenger is really hauling ass...not a camera trick, or done in editing, the car is truly going extremely fast. This version of that great movie is cheezy. You wanna see a great flick, and some badass driving...search for the original. Fortunately Gone in 60 seconds was redone with taste and a great cast...The original, for it's day still kicks ass...but as a fan of that movie since it was debuted, my hat's off to Mr. Cage, and co-stars!
I saw the original. Have not bothered watching the remake. On a side note, raced a superB w/ the 440 interceptor against my 455-at 90 going on 100 mph - he looked at me, smiled, and just WALKED AWAY from my damn 455 like it was nothing!!!! Pissed me off big time, but what the hell.
That's cool mine was a 73 and a 73 charger 69 super Bee 383 4 speed 69 Coronet 440 got to love them mopars 🍀get R done 😎✌️ oh yeah 74 power wagon and a 100 3-speed column shift and now 2019 ram classic two-door square box 5.7 hemi 🥳
2:10 (2:12-2:30) It takes them 18 seconds to meet after a distance of 8-9 car lengths while driving head-on at each other!!? Just how slow are they going?
I wasn't aware they made a show of the vanishing point if I remember back to the film the guy went out wen he hit a train didn't he and it was the charger that hit it not the challenger??
This is the hardest choice a Charger Rt or Challenger both beautiful!!! But I think I would go with the CHARGER!! Ever since Dirty Mary Crazy Larry that's been my car but still is a hard choice!!👍👍
I flipped a car going that fast once…it was a 1995 Honda Del Sol Si with a Honda 2.2L H22A4 DOHC VTEC swapped in _(which came available after a family friend’s 1997 Honda Prelude got rolled over by a giant construction vehicle, so, the shop where the car ended up & deemed it a _total loss_ called my dad, I was making tons of money doing graphic design, web programming & I bought the motor for $2700, used the 5-speed which was already in the car (as far as I know)… I was racing it against my best friend since second grade who was in a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX…I have no physical memory of the crash or the summer surrounding that accident, I remember waking up in a Hospital Bed , the girl who’d been me secretary all that summer lying in the hospital bed with a nylon net around it, and I remember she was crying, hugging me, I had no idea what was going on…
Havent seen Vanishing Point in years. Havent seen Vanishing Point in years. Love those old muscle cars. Love those old muscle cars
🤣
Me too. Me too. They're awesome. They're awesome.👍🏁👍🏁
🤣🤣
I'm gonna get the papers get the papers
Say everything twice. Say everything twice.
poor charger when it crashes... even when I was a toddler, I felt sad since I loved cars a lot then. Love cars even more, the more I learn about em
That scene alone honours the original movie from 1970/71. Makes both movies equally iconic (IMHO).
Besides " 'takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" and "My wife yes. My dog maybe. My Dodge... NEVER" are classics..lol

Richard Woods - - excellent & I am green eith envy! 😎 Guess I'll have to settle for my '16 Challenger SXT (until I get a V-8 in the next few years).
You might want to rethink that a 70 challenger 4 speed hemi just sold for half a million on Bring A Trailer.
@@scrapplepignot everyone is attached to money like that man…
Hope you’re still enjoying the car. Thats awesome how you still have it. I know you won’t ever sell it lol
Very nice too. Any links to pictures of it?
The best acting was done by the cars.
Viggo Mortensen was pretty good, and he will NEVER WORK THAT CHEAP, EVER AGAIN!
"cheesy" editing, too.
WHERE. IS THE. #1. CUDA. !!!!!!!!!! 😎🍻

Good times.
what's with all the repeats? is it necessary to play some of the video & then replay it over again? Do they not think we saw it the first time?
Its so that he doesnt get copyrighted by RUclips 👍
Two MOPAR legends…
Going head-to-head against each other…
*NICE!*
Destroying the Charger was a criminal act!
on sen calice !
Definitely, 68’s are rare.
Yea
My heart breaks every time, it is said that if you listen carefully at 3:00am you can hear the ghost of a speeding 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T on the road way over yonder...... :'(
Did u mean the charger too
Strange Person I heard at 3 am you can hear the voice of the Devil
Not only is the 1971 version a WAY better movie, but in the original, Kowalski always stuck around to see if the people that crashed were okay. It was part of his goodguy character.
Vanishing Point, one of the greatest chase-movies of all time.
The 1971 film is far better. Waste of a classic Challenger.
HEY Joe. You'll be glad to hear that if you look really close at the end of the 71 version , it's a 67 or 68 camreo YEAH no shit seems that the producer's were mopar people
@@robertadams9699 actually it had something to do with Chrysler. They didn't want any of their cars even used in the movie. I read an article on this year's ago. Something to that nature.
The acting blows in this remake....like most remakes do.
But Viggo Mortensen was in this movie
what a waste of a good mopar
Michael Orlowski they used a Camaro in the original to crash if it makes you feel better
of two mopars.
That car (or any car for that matter) would be less than half of its original length after a crash like that. And how did the wheels change from Mopar Ralley rims to Cragar SS?
+Gregory Guza It Rally knocked the hell out of em.
@guza Since when do we start believing in Hollywood being realistic? GEEZ, take it for what it is.
“It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar” will be the first thing I get turned into a bumper sticker when I get my first Dodge vehicle.
I like how the guy drives and shoots so as not to disturb his passenger who does happen to be riding "shotgun"
The end music is so Beautiful the car chase the voice hard so explain just makes me want to see my dad agen he went to heaven in 2017 so I miss him so much thank you for your time
"It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" Yet another case of Hollywood's disconnection from reality!
PS. Having certain scenes repeat 3-4 times, just simply Sucked Balls... Stop It !!!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing!! I hate when people do this crap!
yeah that was really annoying.
it doesn't take a moparts car. to catch a moparts car😂😭😂😭😂😭
And then the hellcat came out proving that old saying to be right
and then the demon came out and now it's got quite a title going for it. there aren't a whole lot of vehicles that can run 10's in the 1/4 from the factory. super cars can't even beat the demon's raw horsepower. and even the hyper cars struggle to do it. the only vehicle that poses a challenge is the tesla p100d.
Never ceases to amaze me that whenever a car crashes and explodes into flames, the front end of the car just erupts in those flames despite the fact that there is probably not more than a pint of gas in the carb and fuel lines in the front of the car.
Christopher Franklin : that hollyweird flammable anti-freeze.
Movie Magic
Cross ply tyres, drum brakes and leaf spring suspension, ahh, those were the days!
My first girlfriend lost her innocence in the backseat of my '68 R/T Charger. Two months later her sister lost hers on my hood! I wish I would have kept that beauty (the car.......of course)!
Pilgrim777 your boyfriend lost his ass in your car.
Haha, Pilgrim, the first time I read your comment I thought it said "my sister" rather than "her sister", and I was like, this dude is a real rooster!
rapist . lol
Pilgrim777 Hope she was legal age or baby Chris Hansen be peeking 😆😂👌
R3dp055um most likely was his sister.
I like the original but in 1997 version it was more EMOTIONAL to see how he realised he lost everything, how everything he did lost its meaning, and how in the last seconds of his life he dreamed of his wife in the guise of an angel. And then BOOM!
Both movies were pure fun but 1997 was a little bit better for me
It makes me feel sick every time I see a Charger destroyed on TV and in the movies, especially as rare and expensive as they are today!
Same here
Well,thats the reason🤠
This isn't the real Vanishing Point, it's a pale, made for TV imitation. Accept no substitutes.
Cleavon Little> Jason Priestley..."Super Soul" or a bad Alex Jones impersonator....I'll take Cleavon any day (RIP Cleavon Little)
The original movie from the 70's was best
The dead giveaway was the 1987-91 Ford F series.
old skool chargers and challengers. it doesn't get any better than this.
I drove a 70 Challenger once to a car auction ! it was a stick with a 340, 4 barrel and boy that thing would run !
In had one too canary yellow
340's were badass small blocks!
If you had that car now you could almost retire.
Having seen the original Vanishing Point "first run", double featured w/Easy Rider at an Indy drive-inn in 1971, I must say THIS IS ONE LAME MOVIE!

I saw the one with Barry Newman !
The whole movie was unreal and the actors mediocre. Only the cars were good.
That was the point.
+ElCid48 "The whole movie was unreal" That is solid gold.
I agree, the first one was WAY better. This one it seemed like they thought how can we keep it as close as we can to the original but really screw it up. Worst part was the ending. They should never have added the commentary
Great video and had to watch it again.

Kowalski chose the bulldozers. They were the vanishing point of his life. The whole movie was a series of flashbacks on Kowalski's life that began and ended with the bulldozers.
A *man* living his life on his own terms and ending it the same way.
A MEN.............................
What’s with the instant replay? It’s annoying.
Oh God, please take me back to the 70's.
60-70's Charger/Challenger is the most bad ass cars ever built!
Good compilation of old and new mixed together. The original was 1971 of course. Enjoyed this one. In the real movie, the car that hit the bulldozers was a Camaro.
Do you know why they used a Camaro?
I heard the Challengers (4) were lent by Chrysler to make the movie. The studio had to return them after production was finished.
Actually the original Vanishing Point the Challengers were 1970's not '71's. There were multiple ones, I believe 4. The cars were loaned/leased to them to make the movie and had to return them when done filming. Therefore they toed a stripped '67 Camaro into the bulldozers.

"Do you know why they used a Camaro?" To keep us Mopar fans from rioting and tearing the theater apart.
I watched this movie when I was in the Army in 1975. It was one the most traumatic car movies that I had ever seen .....
If you saw it in 1975, you saw the classy 1971 original. This is the shitty 1997 remake.
Dodge Charger one of my favourite cars of all time.. along with Del boy and Rodney's TIT van and the Oldsmobile from the Blues Bro's..
So, what was wrong with the original film that it had to be re-made Badly?
That is the weirdest looking Barry Newman I ever saw.
Barry Newman WISHES he was Viggo Mortensen...
This sounds is music for my ears
Thank God they wrecked a camaro at the end and not a Challenger.
Amen brother. I damn near fainted at the ending of the original. A few years later I found out it was a cookie cutter GM thing. Phew!
Lonnie Cavenee. Very good !!! It was a 1968 camaro??
I have had like 15 camaro !! Only have 2 now !! Big GM fan ,
The end of the remake used a Challenger
@@PUNCHYOURFACEreal nope, it was a Camaro. I have the movie on DVD and it shows the Camaro hitting the bulldozers in the making of the movie
Kowalski been mewing☠️🏁
How are they taking the arial shots if there’s no “chopper”?
This has to be a remake its not the orginal movie I have the original
Nowhere near as good as the original film in the 70's
6:12 I can imagine this is what it's like for a driver in the miniature hotwheels car when you crash them off the track.
This is the last year of the Dodge V-8's: get 'em while you still can!
Thank u fer the share.
can someone tell me the title of the soundtrack with the angel's voice at the end of the movie, please
Love the channel, I am subscribed to it, but, is there any particular reason why all the Mopars in these movies get wiped out? Lol!!!l
he should know better than trying to use a shotgun out a charger's window, never ends well
Just ask the bad guys in Bullitt! Their last gas station visit ended pretty badly!
BTW, the badass driving the Charger in "Bullitt" was the same badass driving the Bonneville in "The Seven-Ups" chase.
bill hickman... a legend. I'll always remember the face on his passenger in the chase in that movie, a look of total stunned awe and a good bit of fear as he whipped that whale through traffic in what had to have been a pants-shitting experience no matter how much choreography was involved (he gets the credit for that too because he was also the choreographer).

+Bob Joe Especially on those 4-wheel temporary spares.
Haha! "Hit those bulldozers at over 180mph." My ass... That challenger would be the size of a super sub-compact car if it did that. Not to mention the bulldozers would be seriously hurting.

What gun makes that many sparks and how did he role that
Bail out at 180 miles, we need mythbusters
the Angel waiting always gets me bad
"Takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" 😉😎🐦
why do cars have to explode when they crash?
Oh, the reboot of Vanishing Point.
Not THEE Vanishing Point.
Big difference.
I saw the original. Have not bothered watching the remake. On a side note, raced a superB w/ the 440 interceptor against my 455-at 90 going on 100 mph - he looked at me, smiled, and just WALKED AWAY from my damn 455 like it was nothing!!!!
Pissed me off big time, but what the hell.
That barrel roll in the sheriff's Charger. That's why we wear seat belts.
this isn't the film? different people in it wat show is this??
the last scene, when yellow car hits train. Which movie is? This one?
ljnr : dirty Mary & crazy larry.
I love car chase movies, real car chase movies from before , nowadays they're mostly cgi car chases.
Do you have anything with Mercury Cougars?
And yet the Challenger didn't suddenly turn into a Camaro when it hit the bulldozers like it did in the original.
They are killin old cars for movies
Proud to say I owned one of each only my Charger was a 1970 also
That's cool mine was a 73 and a 73 charger 69 super Bee 383 4 speed 69 Coronet 440 got to love them mopars 🍀get R done 😎✌️ oh yeah 74 power wagon and a 100 3-speed column shift and now 2019 ram classic two-door square box 5.7 hemi 🥳
I like this better than original. Because acting was better. I LOVE CHARGERS and Challengers I owned a 2015 hemi challenger
this movie is one of the best for studying the sediments laid down then washed away during the stages of The Flood about 4,360 years ago.
The extra double takes in the uploaders editing killed this.
Saw this film when in Junior High...cool
Had a 73 Challenger💪 I guess he did too 😆 sure miss mine 🍀get R done 😎✌️
What's the name of the movie?
Makes me want to rewatch DeathProof again!!
A tragic shame, the destruction of two classic mopars
Damn, here I am, thinking this is the original movie, and I see Viggo.
Some movies should never be remade...this was one of them!!!
Sexy cars though!!
2:10 (2:12-2:30) It takes them 18 seconds to meet after a distance of 8-9 car lengths while driving head-on at each other!!? Just how slow are they going?
What’s that version of “gimme shelter” in the final credits, can’t find it anywhere?
I’ll ask Aragorn.
Chase trough the dessert to crush at the end ! It made a lot of sens !
Original Vanishing Point was better - several cars destroyed in film. No computer graphics. Very dangerous all real stunts.
No CGI in this one either, just some fire added at the end. Real cars, purpose-built.
One dead scum-maro at the end.
I wasn't aware they made a show of the vanishing point if I remember back to the film the guy went out wen he hit a train didn't he and it was the charger that hit it not the challenger??
Which is better, 70s charger, or 70s challenger?
Speed doesn't kill. It's the sudden stops that get ya.
This is the hardest choice a Charger Rt or Challenger both beautiful!!! But I think I would go with the CHARGER!! Ever since Dirty Mary Crazy Larry that's been my car but still is a hard choice!!👍👍
IT TAKES A MOPAR TO CATCH A MOPAR ! HELL YEAHHHH
Beat styled muscle cars we ever had came from the mid sixties to seventies.
I can’t believe they wrecked that Charger like that...like, STOP 🛑
The Charger’s tires were completely inadequate for a chase like this.
Alguien sabe cómo se llama esta película
"Much damage?"
"You should see the damage, bronze!"
Why bother remaking this film before the new Challengers came out?
I've always hated the movies for destroying old muscle cars !
I flipped a car going that fast once…it was a 1995 Honda Del Sol Si with a Honda 2.2L H22A4 DOHC VTEC swapped in _(which came available after a family friend’s 1997 Honda Prelude got rolled over by a giant construction vehicle, so, the shop where the car ended up & deemed it a _total loss_ called my dad, I was making tons of money doing graphic design, web programming & I bought the motor for $2700, used the 5-speed which was already in the car (as far as I know)…
I was racing it against my best friend since second grade who was in a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX…I have no physical memory of the crash or the summer surrounding that accident, I remember waking up in a Hospital Bed , the girl who’d been me secretary all that summer lying in the hospital bed with a nylon net around it, and I remember she was crying, hugging me, I had no idea what was going on…
The E body by Chrysler, was the sexiest thang.
Takes a mopar .....to catch a mopar . greatest statement ever 🍺
LoL... Yeah he jumped out of the car moving at 185 mph.... And survived..... LMAO 😂.... Nope...
I saw this in 1997 when I was 8 on fox 53
Rip to a camaro and an 68 charger, when the car exploded the wheels turned into five spoke cragars
This isn't the Vanishing Point I remember .. must be a remake.
No seat belts, just hold on to the dash💪😂
