A direct reference to the Dodge Challenger from Vanishing Point that is heavily used in the climactic chase, but subsequently becomes quite damaged ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Notce the car is a "coupe" rather than a hardtop, i.e., it has window frames on the doors. As far as I know, no Challenger had window frames. These were presumably welded in because the script called for them (Zoe has to hang from belts tied to them when she plays "masthead"). |

I agree completely, and it looked weird too |

I just watched this movie and the game being played (with the girl on the hood) is called "ship's mast" in the movie. |

That particular challenger is the challenger "440 magnum" 375 hp the challenger from the movie vanishing point was the challenger r/t 383 cubic inches and 335 hp |

Yes and no. The Challenger here and the Challenger in the original Vanishing Point are both 440-MAGNUMS. However, there is a 383-MAGNUM used in a few scenes in VP. The stupid part about the Challenger in DP is that it is shown to have a 4-point rollbar throughout the chase...so if they needed someplace to strap the belts to for the mast stunt, why not install a 6-point cage??? The window frames looked idiotic. |

It's never mentioned what happens to their porn star friend they left with the rapist truck driver from Kill Bill as collateral for the Challenger they destroy. -- Last edit: 2011-07-29 23:39:24 |

One of the best stunt/chase scenes I've ever seen. Beautiful Challenger |

I agree Jimmy. Great end to the chase. Has hilarious lines by Russell, as he realized his mistake in attacking these woman. "WHYYYYY, OH WHY!!!" |

No R/T badges? non stock exaust in one picture, and window posts? How stupid.... I'd say it's a non R/T with scooped hood added for this movie. the original Vanishing Point was a real R/T -- Last edit: 2013-04-05 17:35:29 |

Is it a replica or not? |

Tony has the likely answer to Bowser's question. |
◊ 2014-03-19 14:05 |
He just said that it wasn't a R/T version.. |
◊ 2014-03-19 17:44 |
If you mean a replica of a 1970 Challenger, then no: it is common and cheap enough to use a real one, no need of making a replica. |
◊ 2014-03-21 03:41 |
A non- R/T made up to look like a R/T. |
◊ 2015-05-15 04:44 |
Zoe Bell did say that original version of Vanishing Point was a classic as well as the car itself. |
