ianj Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Hmmmmm, I'm split about 50:50 on this one, but I guess push comes to shove I'd say Vanishing Point.......but that's maybe done to the scene with the naked female motorcycle rider....

tael Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Two Lane Blacktop needs consideration too, another wonderful film from the same era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Vanishing point is the clear winner. The film gives the viewer a sense of who the main character is and why he is doing what he's doing. The film has some similarities to "Easy Rider", a troubled, good looking young man on a trip through America, allbeit at speeds well over 100 mph, which ends badly. Why would you risk drawing attention to yourself by going so fast? What if the guy just obeyed the speed limit? Not much of a movie there. All I remember about Bullit was an endless chase scene which ends badly for the Dodge Charger. What else happened? It's been nearly 40 years ago since I saw either one.

nigel dabster Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You obviously forgot the ending of vanishing point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You obviously forgot the ending of vanishing point. Was the end not at the beginning, and the rest of the film portrayed the events leading up to that moment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Was the end not at the beginning, and the rest of the film portrayed the events leading up to that moment ? Not the film I saw, that had two endings whether that was at the beginning or end and which end you mean I'm not sure. Great film though but then so was bullit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b40rt Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 How about....Crazy Mary Dirty Larry? Anything with Susan George has to be good. What was the bike film with Robert Redford. Big Hoss Little ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 You obviously forgot the ending of vanishing point. I doubt I could forget the guy smashing into a pair of D-8 caterpillar blade at 100mph. Not much left to worry about for that guy. I was comparing it to Billy's untimely death at the end of Easy Rider. Might be a stretch but I thought they were comparable in that someone dies a violent death at the end. What did I miss?
