I recognized the scene with the blind DJ. I was all like, "Hell yeah, I got this!" . Then clicked over to page 2 and it was all done and dusted. I watched this movie when I was a real young kid, about 6 or 7. I didnt really get all the intricacies of it at the time but the general concept and atmosphere of the film struck me and stuck with me, and so has the movie. I recently smashed into two bulldozers and escaped into the light on the other side. I wouldve done it sooner if I knew that was all it took.2 points

I watch that film a couple times a year. Existential B movie genius. And great shots. "The last American hero, the electric centaur, the demi-god, the super driver of the golden west.....the last beautiful free soul on this planet." Delaney & Bonnie were supposed to do the soundtrack, but ended up in the movie as a bunch of preachers instead. Kim Carnes first vocal recording is her singing over the end credits.2 points

Vanishing Point - 1971 A weird kind of movie, where the "hero" is supposed to deliver a Dodge Challenger to California. Of course, he's doing it at Cannonball Run speeds, so the cops are chasing him across the desert. The final scene has them pulling a pair of bulldozers into the road to stop him, which is the last pic that Bolero posted.2 points

It was actually the radio station that triggered it for me. I really don't remember the pics of the Green Frog Grocery, or Ray's beer joint. But I remember SuperSoul talking to Kowalski over the radio, trying to get him home. Also, Delaney and Bonnie were doing gospel music out in the desert with the snake handler. As for the beer... make mine A&W! ?2 points

Ha, yeah I remember seeing bits & pieces on late night movie channel when I was a kid. It always fascinated me: the scenery, the desert, the car, the enigma of the ending. Track down the uncut version it does fill some things in. And helps explain the end a bit more than the censored version. I guess there were religious concerns about a visitation by Death incarnate.1 point

If you can find the European version, it has extra footage that was cut from the US version of the film.1 point
