Dam! I didn't even know he was still alive! I must have seen VANISHING POINT at least 5 times on TV in the 70's late at night on UHF channels! In my Top 10 road movies!

That's my favorite scene in the movie where Kowalski sees the gap and smiles, believing he can still make it. :smile:
There's a song from South Africa which is inspired by that movie.

^ I don't think he thought he could make it. He was going for broke.
