Movie Reviews of Vanishing Point [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: An actual review of the Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars
C'mon, you already own the movie on DVD, what are all these reviews of the DVD version doing here?
What's on the Blu-ray? That's what you want to know.
Okay, worth the price of admission alone; a new HD 20-minute documentary on the film including interviews with Barry Newman (Kowalski himself), Sarafian (the director), musician Chris Cornell (?!), and ... wait for it ... the naked chick on the motorcyle ... today. Well, maybe you want to skip that visual to keep your memories (and her petite mammaries) vivid in your mind, but it was a noble thought (except for the part about the blisters).
Love the car? Another brief documentary has car enthusiasts, including the legendary George Barris, talking about the 1970 Challenger. I loved finding out that the HP was specifically down-graded to 426 so it could be marketed as a street vehicle, when it was really a drag strip monster with 500 HP, and almost impossible to control at high speeds. Kudos to the stunt driver (Why isn't he on here? Let me guess ...)
There's a trivia quiz you can take while watching the movie. And there's this strange graphic you can add to the watching of the movie where you are looking at it over a graphic of the actual dashboard of the car. Sort of like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or whatever it's called). I wouldn't recommend it though, if you want to actually enjoy the pristine quality of the high definition remaster, which is beautiful, especially for an early 70's vintage film where, more often than not, the cinematographer was just as stoned as the cast, the picture could often be out of focus, and the ackward zoom shots could make you hurl.
But forget all that, here is the ultimate anti-authority finger-up-in the-air-to-the-police epic. Pop the clutch and get down to your local Brick and Mortar media store (they're sinking fast) and pick it up!
