    wore that out, bought another.

    VCR died (tape is OK I think) bought a DVD version.. still watch it!




    ps... the film producers used 2 CAMAROS to shoot the final 'crash' scene

    coz they had to hand back the several Challengers 'lent' to them for the movie

    One of the Challengers was used to tow via cable the Camaros into the 'dozer
    where the special FX guys had a get up to 'blow up' (make more spectacular) the impact !

    This ain't no Challenger.....

    At the end of the original Vanishing point, if you play it frame by frame, you can clearly see that they filmed a Chev Camaro on fire.

    ... thanks Martin

    not sure about that,
    since the early 80s my mates have called me Yoda

    Not only am I the oldest of us all, the 'nick' is appropriate
    old, big ears... no hair ( dunno about the wise bit though )

    You clearly even see a Camaro badge quite close up in one frame.
