Do I read this correctly? Vanishing Point had a Kids Matinee? Or was it just they way the ads were laid out?I ran this small town theater in the mid 90s. Found this 1971 flyer there View attachment 1225429View attachment 1225430View attachment 1225431View attachment 1225432
How many sequels have been as good or better than the original? About the only movie I can recollect offhand is The Godfather; though I’m sure there’s more. The American Graffiti spin-off was a joke. It’s a decision to make a quality flick or cheapo and some low budget movies get an unexpected hit, IMO. “It’s a Wonderful Life” was a box-office flop when it came out.Gentlemen, please....
There is so much misinformation in this thread - and all the correct information, from original sources
including the director, actor and vehicle manager from the original film, are readily available to
watch/listen to/read online for the price of a simple Google search.
(Hey, I have a lot of time to kill in the wee hours when others sleep and I don't....reasons).
Just an amazing amount of documentation to be had out there, rather than heresay and gossip elsewhere.
I am an afficionado of the original; the remake tried too hard in too many ways and wound up damn
near an insult to the intelligence of the viewer, even though I can remember the Mopar community at the
time being very much excited about it being produced.
Then we saw it....
The original started out as a "goof off" project for those involved; it wound up being so much more than that
that even the jaded director wound up having to give it proper respect towards the end of his life.

There are posters on the wall? What wall?View attachment 1225533 Hope this doesn’t break any rules here?! I used to work at a muscle car wrecking yard in the early 80s.
There was a spirited gal who worked there processing paperwork. We nicknamed her Dirty Mary. A office pic. There was a original vanishing point and funny car summer posters on wall
next to these. We would have her quote prices to customers as she could get a better price.
Even in 'Bullitt', the Mustang finishes up going sideways into a ditch......friggin' Mustangs eh.
It’s a Citroen SM Coupe and was considered one of the most technologically advanced cars at that time. It’s French and, yes, quite hideous. But from what I understand they were fun to drive.The car Burt is driving is hideous.
I started to hate that piece of **** enough to make me mad.The car Burt is driving is hideous.
