Editorial Review:
Description:
Thrills, spills and a handful of pills. It all adds up to one of the most spectacular car chases in motion picture history! Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, the last American hero, who set out to prove that he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in just fifteen hours. Along the way, he meets an old prospector (Dean Jagger), a snake worshipper, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a blind D.J. (Cleavon Little) who "sees" danger ahead in this super-charged, action-packed adventure!
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

I saw this in the theater in 1972 while restrained in the Marine Corps and was transported by the music, wide open desert spaces, anti-establishment themes, Kowalski's sense of fair play and nude hippie chicks on motorcycles. In other words all the freedoms I missed while being in the service. I really loved it then and was a little apprehensive about seeing it again as I wasn't sure it would hold up over the years. 36 years to be exact.
Well, the movie works on many different levels ... Read More

Vanishing Point is a movie I remember seeing on television as a child. I liked it because I've always liked cars and I liked muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger (love the 2008-09 model). Years later, I recorded the movie off of television on VHS, but the quality was so-so. I finally bought the DVD and I really like it. I loved the bonus features like the various movie trailers for the film and the directors commentary by Richard Sarafian. As a video producer and digital filmmaker, the movie still ... Read More

sure 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.

Like 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 ...
