I am posting this on behalf of my father. Many have already heard the news that Lane Leavitt passed away on May 16, 2025 of cancer. We just held an Epic memorial in his honor, attended by many many friends and loved ones, it was truly a one-of-a-kind event and one for the record-books. You can replay it on YouTube, and we will be posting photos of the stunning Lane Leavitt art gallery that accompanied the event soon.

Personally I want to say (this is his son, Steven) that I am deeply sorry for all of our loss. My dad was One-Of-A-Kind...... And So Are You. Be your best. Live your best. Love your best. Take all he taught you and carry it forward: 👍🔥

The car featured in Vanishing Point was a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T equipped with a 440 cubic-inch V-8 engine, rather than the commonly mistaken 426 Hemi V-8. During filming, Chrysler Corporation provided eight white Challengers for use in the production.

In an interview, actor Paul Koslo recalled a story about the legendary stunt driver Cary Loftin:

"One night, after wrapping up on location, Cary was driving one of the Challengers back to the hotel when he flew past some New Mexico state troopers at 145 miles per hour! [laughs] He had four or five cop cars chasing him with their lights flashing, but they couldn’t keep up since their cars topped out at around 125! So Cary drove into a small town and began slowing down. He pulled into a gas station and— I swear to God— executed a perfect 360-degree spin between the pumps, stopping with the rear of the car, the gas tank, positioned right in front of the super pump! He calmly stepped out like nothing had happened, but the troopers arrested him on the spot! [laughs] Oh, you should've seen their faces—they were furious! The producer had to step in and explain that Cary had actually been testing the car, that he frequently performed spinouts because of some handling issues. [laughs] Sure, you need to test the cars, but not while driving home!"

Here is an interesting interview I did a while back, about Hollywood Stunt Work, which I have never listened to. In it, I talk about working in Hollywood, many major stars, and where the industry has come from, and might be going.
