Trivia:
Dean Jagger (the snake charmer/prospector) and Barry Newman (Kowalski) shared the same birthday: November 7th. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: The 19-inch racks in Super Souls's radio station with large tape reels (in one scene seen fast moving) are not audio equipment. These tape drives were used in computer systems in the 1970s to store data on tape. moreQuotes:
Kowalski: What do you do with those things?Prospector: Trade 'em. Trade 'em for coffee, sugar, chewing tobacco, salt, flour, and beans, lots of beans, son.

Soundtrack:
Dear Jesus God moreFAQ
What is the deal with the police station in California being so high tech and organized and run almost entirely by females? I know the writer is trying to make some sort of social commentary, but being that I was born after the film was made, I don't understand it.more

the plot summary covers the story and yes! there is a story wrapped around one long car chase. the speed is real, the NOISE is real, that Challenger leaves black lines on the road........ I saw it when it was first released (when I was young and silly) and then spent 15 years trying to track down a Video copy of the movie (made more difficult as it had to be a PAL copy). I got the video in the '90s and still watch this amazing film. People rave about the chase sequence in Bullitt or The French Connection. Vanishing Point takes that excitement and extends it. Simply a great car movie for those who like a great car movie.... watch it
