The Pill-Poppin'est Road Trip Movie You'll Ever See


I can't believe I waited this long to see Vanising Point, the godfather of all car-chase movies (yes, there is a car-chase genre) starring Barry Newman, the budget Dustin Hoffman. It also has Cleavon Little, the sheriff from Blazing Saddles, as Super Soul: the blindest, rockin'est small town disc-jockey in America.

It's a pretty amazing trip into the heart of a gear head speed freak with a rippin' soundtrack to boot. I recommend it heartily.

Other great car-chase movies:
  • Two Lane Blacktop (1971)
  • Death Race 2000 (1975)
  • Cannonball Run (1981)
  • Bullitt (1968)
