Rollerman 290 #1 Posted February 11, 2009 Last night I caught a movie that looked like the same actor from the TV series "House" He was driveing a white Dodge Challenger R/T heading west evadeing the police along he way. I caught the movie about halfway through (Just as he entered Nevada & then ended up lost in the desert) but wasn't able to finish it. Anyone know of the movie & able to clue me in? Maybe I can rent a copy or watch for it to come back around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #2 Posted February 11, 2009 Check here. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/ If it was him then it will be listed by his newest work at the top, then going down from there. Let us know...you got me wondering now. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,599 #4 Posted February 11, 2009 Stephen, Is it an older movie? It sounds like "Vanishing Point". It's from 1971 with Barry Newman as the lead. He was driving a white Challenger, eluding police in the desert, and.....I don't want to leak out the ending. Here's some clips from youtube: From IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067927/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #6 Posted February 11, 2009 T-Mo I am thinking what you are. That is one of the movies that sticks in my mind about a Dodge Challenger and the desert. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #7 Posted February 11, 2009 A few things about Vanishing point come to mind. The ending of course but also a small dirt bike/mini bike riding around the desert. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyBlue 655 #8 Posted February 11, 2009 What time and channel was it on, might be easier to find it that way than guessing who was in it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 15 #9 Posted February 11, 2009 Could it have been the 1997 remake of Vanishing Point? The lead actor is Viggo Mortensen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GUcI-KfXXs&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #10 Posted February 11, 2009 T-MO thanks!...Vanishing Point it is! Looks like I'll have to order me a copy, what I did see was pretty good. I guess I really butchered up the ID on the lead actor though? Nick if thats the mini bike scene you were refering to in the clip T-MO provided.....reminds me of something I seen at the Kenton/Canton swapmeet back in the woods once....only on a golfcart. Thanks again for the help & thanks for the link T-MO. :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #11 Posted February 11, 2009 Stephen, If your on high speed internet and want to watch the movie now for free go over to Netflix.com and take the free 2 week trial with unlimited online movies. Vanishing Point is available to watch online, I just flipped thru it. You can cancel before 2 weeks and owe nothing but do have to use a credit card to sign on. They have a lot of good movies are online. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #12 Posted February 11, 2009 I guess I really butchered up the ID on the lead actor though I don't think Hugh Laurie will mind that you thought him in that movie. He wouldn't mind getting the royalties either! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
