Editorial Review: Product Description: When an ex-cop and race car driver named Kowalski makes a bet that he can deliver a 1970 Dodge Challenger from Colorado to San Francisco in less than fifteen hours he meets a variety of colorful characters along the way and is soon chased by the police. Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: R Release Date: 6-FEB-2007 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Art film and road movie collide for Vanishing Point, an existential car chase across the desert in a post Easy Rider America. Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, a taciturn driver who bets that he can drive a new Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. He loads up on amphetamines and begins his odyssey through the contemporary west while a funky black DJ (Cleavon Little) turns the driver into a folk hero and broadcasts advice on dodging the cops. It's like a counterculture precursor to Smokey and the Bandit, with the road as the last bastion of freedom and the DJ as a combination commentator and mystical guide. The slim plot offers a network of society drop-outs that aid the "last free Man on Earth" (as the DJ describes him) on his obscure but obviously symbolic quest while flashbacks paint Kowalski as a world-weary hero. It doesn't really make much sense, but the amazing car chases and excellent stunt work are stunningly set against the American west, beautifully captured by cinematographer John A. Alonzo. Vanishing Point is most assuredly a product of its time, the heady, anything-goes era of rebellion in the early 1970s. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - intreaguesure not the greatest movie in the world, but as a cult classic its a must have and worth a watch every now and then. Also a good note is the style of filmography used, an interesting movie and a great car. Rating: - Another great 70's B-movieLike I said in my "Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry" review..a great 70's B movie made on a low budget,real "special" effects,fantastic stunts..it doesn't get much better..it may not appeal to everyone..but put big budget hollywood out of your head and enjoy..director Richard C. Sarafian had a vision for a great movie and in my opinion he delivers..I hadn't seen this in years..a lot of years..it is much better than I remember..deeper..it makes you think...if you like this one check out "Electra Glide in Blue"...The ...

Great car chase and driving. Also a hint of sadness and lost hope. Rating:  - the original "Vanishing Point"You will never find this video for rent . This uncut B movie is just as vague as I remembered it back in the "70s". I loved Challenger scenes shot in its raw cinematography. A must have cheesy cult classic.
