Lots of spoilers.
An excellent talk about the first "Vanishing Point" movie. I remember everyone leaving the cinema thoroughly confused. "So many religious references, what was that all about" ?? Etc.
Turns out years later through interviews on Youtube about the making of VP, there was much more of the script to be filmed but time and money were running out, and the studio was giving the director and crew the big "Hurry up".So the poor director in sheer frustration tore out a huge chunk of the script and "went with what they'd already filmed".
The film has a great mystery feel to it. And conspiracy theories abound....."The Challenger was swapped for a Camaro that crashed and Kowalski escaped in the Challenger....and actually delivered it !!!! . And later came back to live with the hippy chick with the motorbike"
Or the whole film's an analogy about life.
Whichever way you look at it the film is beautifully shot, has great casting, excellent music, and a huge cult following. Love the sound of a V8 on the open road.
