"Kowalski works for a car delivery service. He takes delivery of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to take from Colorado to San Fransisco, California. Shortly after pickup, he takes a bet to get the car there in less than 15 hours. After a few run-ins with motorcycle cops and highway patrol they start a chase to bring him into custody. Along the way, Kowalski is guided by Supersoul - a blind DJ with a police radio scanner."
Vanishing Point released back in 1971 to a rather small debut is a classic Car Chase film full of high speed thrills. Although it came and went quite quietly when it was originally released over the years it has developed a loyal cult fallowing from car buffs everywhere. The film was later remade back in 1997 with a then still rather unknown Viggo Mortensen. Like most remakes its results were...well crap and it really doesn't hold a candle to the original. The car chase in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof also pays a quite obvious nod to the film by using the same Car, a 1970 Dodge Challenger in the final chase scene. Anyone into cars will get a kick out of this film, if you haven't seen it already.
