Richard C. Sarafian’s VANISHING POINT
(R, 1971, 99 min)
“Tighten your seat belt. You never had a trip like this before.” This isn’t a movie. It’s a full-throttle adrenaline trip. Meet Kowalski (Barry Newman) — Vietnam vet, speed demon, and the ultimate antihero — driving a sleek car from Colorado to California. Stakes? A wild wager with his dealer, complete with pills, gas, and zero rules. The cops are hot on his tail, the radio DJ is broadcasting every insane move, and the desert highway becomes a blur of dust, danger, and freedom. It’s like Mad Max before anyone knew what Mad Max was, with a soundtrack that hits you in the soul, insane stunts, and a protagonist who literally refuses to give a single damn. Fast. Raw. Totally unhinged. You will not look away.
