| From the Wiki page for the film: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Magnum

Legalize the Constitution
| Much of the remake of Vanishing Point, with Viggo Mortensen as the driver was shot in Williams, Arizona. We were living and working there at the time and I took a day or two off work to be an extra in the movie. I played FBI SWAT. It was kinda fun shooting (literally) the climatic scene.

Staring back
from the abyss
| Best part of that movie was Gilda. The car was kind of cool too.

Partial dichotomy
| I'd forgotten about that movie. I'll have to check it out again.

Buy high and sell "low"
| Definitely one of my favorites, I guess it's time to watch it again. I also like the video by Audioslave "Show me how to live" I am guessing that they are fans of the movie as well. The remake was not bad, but the original is always better.

There was a Charger in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry a few years later, which had a similar ending. I visited the spot where that movie started and ended also back in 2010.  |

| Vanishing Point and Sugarland Express are two of my favorite chase movies from the 70s. |

Page late and a dollar short
| And remember too that Clevon Little was in it too, Supersoul, the radio DJ.

My first bike was a 1970 red/white Honda CL175K4. After "Vanishing Point" I had the urge to upgrade to the 350. Several times.

| Almost a poll question; the version with Charlotte Rampling, or no? I watch it once a year. |
