Hafta watch Vanishing Point again soon, the original, not seen the remake and no desire to.
Have ya noticed that in remakes they seem to feel the protagonist has to have a motive. I read a synopsis of the VP remake, Kawolski's wife is dying or something, so he does the run for that in some way, but he has a reason. In the original there is no reason for Kawolski doing what he does, just a bet to pay for the drugs he needs to do the run. The original is a great film, one non-stop car chase from beginning to end.
