Vanishing Point is entertaining if you’re absolutely in love with the 1970 Challenger. In every other respect, it’s a bizarre ‘70s fever dream that feels like it was written in about two-fifths of a draft.

Shit. “Bullitt: Reloaded” is actually a genius marketing idea, and I’m kinda mad that I didn’t think of it. The pun is so in-your-face stupid that it just might work. I wouldn’t even try to disguise it.
I’m strangely not inclined to disagree with any of those choices, although their relative ages are all over the board.
Unfortunately, pretty much all of Jalopnik’s good writers have jumped ship at this point.
This is the correct answer, especially since he’s done with Bond. I can’t think of anyone current actor who strikes me as more Steve McQueen-ish.
I’ll give you a few minutes to google Armie Hammer and find out why he isn’t the best idea (besides the fact that he’s an incredibly bland and boring actor).
Hey now. Yes, most of the movie is a snoozefest, but dunking on the Bullitt car chase for not being up to modern production value standards is just unfair. It was pretty damn good for its time, and more importantly, it was the first time something like that had been done on the big screen. Without Bullitt, we wouldn’t…
I haven’t seen it in a while, but I remember The Italian Job being pretty entertaining.
The Bullitt chase is great, but let’s be honest, the rest of the movie is about as gripping as watching toast go stale. I’d like to see it remade with a plot that I can actually stay awake for.
I love that episode and that scene. The only thing that bugs me is the rather hackneyed setup to get Tennant to say “I don’t want to go”, which just cheapens the original line. A small gripe, though.
Oh HELL yes. This is the best couch I’ve ever seen.
It looks to me like the car was trying desperately to evade the van driver in the interest of self-preservation, and was forced to try extreme measures to do so. In any other situation, what they did would be pretty dangerous, but in this case, the alternative was literally being rammed off the road.
Wait, is this video where “pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude” came from, or was it already a meme by this point?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who always hated the look. It’s so over-designed and pretentious, while somehow also being surprising bland. At least Lamborghinis, for all their absurdity, make you go “whoa, that’s striking”. The Veyron just looks like some kind of early 2000s plastic-bubble-aesthetic fever dream.
Well, shit. Over the past couple of years, most of my favorite writers have left this site. I was pretty much just sticking around for Torch.
For a minute I thought it was that car that someone put the entire JC Whitney catalog on. This one actually looks worse.
This is legitimately a fantastic idea. I don’t have any clue how to go about organizing something like this, but I really hope someone does. “Queen of the Hammers” is a great name too.
Well, it can’t be any worse than Fallen Kingdom.
The difficulty the van guy might have living without a car is definitely not as bad as the number of fatal crashes that would be prevented by keeping him off the roads.
I’m actually kind of glad it didn’t, because now the van driver can’t play the victim. The whole incident is on video, and it’s plainly clear who was at fault.
