Vanishing Point (1971) - Dodge Challenger vs. Jaguar

In this scene from the 1971 cult film, a Jaguar owner wants to race Barry Newman in his super-charged 1970 Dodge Challenger. Guess who wins?

[@michaelw6277]

Neil Brown my problem with Baby Driver is that it was advertised as a car movie, which it is not. So when I went to see it expecting a car movie I walked out disappointed and didn’t appreciate what was so great about it. I watched it a second time and enjoyed it for what it was. Like, imagine if Ronin trailers heavily pushed the car chase scene, which was amazing... so you go in expecting a car based action movie and you end up with a spy thriller.

He went out from the wreck barefoot and then fainted, but otherwise he was allright.

[@piotrmalewski8178]

Judging from rewievs on different sites, people notoriously don't get what is the film about. The film itself is a one long chase, but it happens because Kowalski has some serious problems with consciousness and doesn't realise what day it actually is, when he begins his trip. He believes he has much less time to deliver the car than he actually has, he has problems with vision, and probably clouded judgement. That's because he doesn't sleep and takes a lot of amphetamine, and he does it because he's totally broken by life. He's a vietnam war veteran, probably with a trauma, he was kicked away from police force because he protected a girl when other officer was trying to rape her, but as a consequence, let a suspect get away, he's a failed sportsman and his girlfiend drowned. The country and life let him down, so he lost his mind, but even in such a terrible shape, he's the hell of a driver, and everything that happens, questions the actions of police force back then, as all accidents and and acts of brutality are caused by the police's incompetence, prejudice and blunt agression while he only drives around the country faster than the law allows.

[@madeleinewinterdown3256]

I grew up in a farm that was also an automotive hobby shop. We had a lot of cars. This was in the 80s. The car I was given was a clunky big t-bird, 1978, but if I had to go to work (16 year old) and my car wouldn't start, I had to pick another "clunker" out of the yard and drive to work. A pale blue dodge was my favourite because it really moved if you gave 'er. I was told to only drive it on the backroads because she wasn't insured. It was this car. No wonder I found it peppy, it was a bloody Dodge Challenger! Exactly the same. Great car. I can see myself in my little nurse's uniform on the backroads now.

[@Ghostrider-71]

Kowalski at his finest. Awesome movie.

[@SparrowNoblePoland]

In this scene is yet another hint that the lack of sleep of going on amphetamine affects Kowalski's ability. He gets dizzed for a moment- that's why he hits the Jaguar. And that's why he thinks he has much less time to deliver the car and isn't critical of this belief. Already in the beginning of the film there is a suggestion that he's suffering from double vision from time to time, and his vision blurred all the time.

It's also irrelevant to compare Euro and US cars of that time; different roads and highways, different mentalities and driving habits. Along with that the fact that USA's well known for drag races and oval races, and not rally or consorts. And in Trans-Am, European cars could simply not keep up with US teams.

When this movie came out I went and saw it on a date. I liked it but the girl with me did not. She did not understand all of the high speeds and drugs. Oh well, I have it on DVD so I can watch it any time I like.

Classic Scene.

If that driver was 30 then, he’d be 80 now. Life is short

Jesus... at 45 I've just started being ultra conscious of my own mortality as well.

Nowadays such a Jag costs a fortune.

[@venomhemi3914]

They were chasing the Challenger most of the movie.

If anyone sees an XKE convertible on the road please upload video, especially if the driver is wearing a racing helmet

[@RichMander1]

I’ve driven more E types on the road than Challengers, and I’m a mopar guy (I work on sportscars). 50 or more Jaaaags, 0 Challengers. 1 440 ‘cuda though.. those XKEs aren’t really all that fast. Nice torque in a medium weight body, but nothing like moving 8 paint bucket sized pistons, even lazily...

[@garyquail2347]

@@RichMander1 now that all depends on what engine size you've got that's running those paint can size Pistons most people like the 426 Hemi or the big powerful 440 Magnum if I was going to get a challenger like that I think a good engine is the 383.

I much prefer this original version of the movie to the remake.This is one of those 1970s era indie existential films. The remake is a commercial feel-good cop-out.
