My age and the Wild Turkey are showing their heads again tonight........
Anybody else remember this flick??
We used to go to the outdoor theater (remember those, I have a theory about reviving them) and watch this when it was the 'B' flick. Didn't matter what the headliner was.
Vanishing Point .....cult classic.

And then there was this bit from Bullit......when I was in high school in the AV club, we got a 16mm copy of this and cut and spliced this chase into a loop and watched it until we got caught.

The early 70s were memorable for you?

Were you a punk rocker?

I so hope you had green and red spikey hair :o)

Hope a few of you enjoyed my little picture show last night.
Thought I would add one more chase, not as old, but just as good.
