First or remake? I saw the orig when it first came out at a drive in. I have it on DVD.. Did you know that in the orig movie, they crashed a Camaro into the tractors and not a Mopar.. :mad:

I also saw the remake but cannot remember it (senile)

The orig Gone in 60 seconds is cool too

[Flash68]

Didn't know there was more than one version... I saw the one from the 1971 with Barry Newman.

[WSSix]

The remake had Vigo Mortesen as the driver. I thought it was pretty good since it was made for TV. The original was better.

Saw the original.

Barry Newman also died on 'The O.C.'

Don´t forget Barry Newman driving a 1972 Ford Torino GTS in "Fear Is the Key", from 1973.
Great car chase!

I saw it when it came out, yes I am that old...

Seen the original back in the day with Barry Newman and Clevon Little as the DJ. One of the coolest movies ever! I believe Kris Kristophossen( I hope I spelled that right),Rita Coolidge,Delaney&Bonnieand others performed the music in the dessert scene. Kowalski(stage name)drove a Hemi Challenger across country at high speed and eluded all law enforcement.

Definitely a cool movie, bought it on DVD couple years ago. There is a Muscle Car Museum in the Smokey Mountains/ Pigeon Forge,TN area that had one of the Challengers from the movie when I was there couple years ago.

Good movie!

[edge04]

yet to see it but hae you guys seen death trap?

[J-440]

Have seen both movies and the original was better of course. In the remake, Jason Priestley played the DJ...Clevon's rolling in his grave. The remake has a scene where a black 68 Charger (looks like the bad guy's from Bullitt) is chasing Viggo in the Challenger and they roll that thing several times. I still can't sleep at night sometimes.:D

I thought it was a supercharged 440.... At least that is what I remember them stating in the advertisements for the movie.

Either way a great car movie, and part of my DVD collection.

Floyd Garrett Muscle Museum, been there a few times. Well worth it if you have never been. And yes I saw the movie when it first came out. :thumbsup:

Saw it and loved it. And then there's the homage in Death Proof!
