 Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry is another 70's car chase movie!

Never seen Vanishing Point but the white Dodge Challenger I definitely have seen before in some other things.

I actually have that Primal Scream album hidden away somewhere. Should probably look for it...

Road Warrior chase is pretty hot.

Wow.  So there goes any reason to watch that movie.

I used to watch this & Two Lane Blacktop a lot with my oldest brother during his big cars fetish phase. A lot of the social commentary, & drug use, went over my head but I always dug the chase scenes.

Love this movie!!  Vanishing Point...an acid-car-chase movie

Had the ending ruined by an Audioslave music video. Still liked it though.

While I appreciate Vanishing Point for what it is and what it stands for in it's influences, I think I'd still rather just watch Bullitt.

Hell yeah! Vanishing Point is amazing...amazing....AMAZING!

I liked it, I saw it after I saw Death Proof. I also saw the Dirty Mary, Crazy Mary flick along others Tarantino talked about influencing his film.

Just watched this movie before editing this feature -- really good, not what I was expecting at all though.  One of those rare films that works really well without a well-defined antagonist.

I'm not sure how I've never heard of this movie before, but I'm going to try and find a copy as soon as possible

@bumbuliuz  
same.

I just didn't like the movie because they stole all their ideas from that one Audio Slave video.
Maury85on Feb. 22, 2011 at 7:35 p.m.
Thank you Alex. Very glad to see this movie get some recognition outside of a Tarantino flick. So which one of you is going to put Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia in your besties?
PieINyourFACEon Feb. 22, 2011 at 8:05 p.m.
I could listen to the Screened crew talk about movies all day. 
 
I will try to check this movie out as soon as possible.
zombiesatemycerealon Feb. 22, 2011 at 8:13 p.m.
Going to have to watch this at some point.  
 
@thejugglingbum: What? I hope you're being sarcastic or something, because it's the other way around.
