The 50 Most Memorable Movie Cars, According To Rotten Tomatoes

The film critics over at the site all about Tomatoes that are Rotten, have proclaimed a list of the 50 "Most Memorable" movie cars. We won't give it all away here, but we were actually fairly satisfied with their choice for the numero uno slot. Obviously, they're not total hoons like us, but we were still interested to see where a few of our favorites ended up. More »

Chrysler Recreates Vanishing Point Challenger For One Lap Of America, Cleavon Little Says "Yaahhhh!"

Do we like the film Vanishing Point? Maybe a little too much as we've posted the Vanishing Point finale, intro and assorted clips in between. So despite our best efforts to ignore the much-hyped 08 Challenger SRT8, we're going to budge a little because this particular story captures a little of that Jalopnik spirit. As an homage, Chrysler's Ralph Gilles and Erich Heuschele are going to be participating in One Lap of America in a white Dodge Challenger SRT8, with Giles as a fairly convincing Super Soul and Heuschele as a poor man's Kowalski. And this isn't any run-of-the-mill Challenger, it is the first street-worthy Challenger SRT8, the one that Hueschele points out "was the first car on Jalopnik," which of course makes it a piece of history.

Kowalski Rules the Divine: Vanishing Point Intro

Because no_slushbox should have asked for it. All these posts about faded Mopar glory, English-style gasoline prices and running from the hoon police has sent us spiraling across ~~the interwebs~~ time & space looking for reason and a way to make sense of it all. And we found our muse. And they'll never make 'em like this again. – Jonny Lieberman More »

"Vanishing Point" Remake? Cleavon Little Says "Yeahhhh!"

Follow our logic here: Richard E. Kelly, the man behind cult classic Donnie Darko, announces he has been "hired by Fox to write a big action film for [FAMOUS DIRECTOR], it is a remake of a film released in 1971..." Of course, 1971 was the release of the cult car classic "Vanishing Point" we all love. And to make things more interesting, Fox released a version of "Vanishing Point" in 1997 and should therefore have some sort of access to the rights. On top of that, the star of "Vanishing Point" is an awesome E-body Dodge Challenger. Wouldn't it be nice timing if that came out near the production launch of the new Dodge Challenger? – Matt Hardigree More »
