I bet Steve had a great time, making this movie and more than likely every movie he was in, in his career. He will be remembered forever and missed even longer.
That pit move gets them criminals every time. Saw it last night on old rerun of cops. Nobody was cooler Steve, and nothing was cooler than growing up back then! 😊
I could watch this movie over and over again and never tire of it. Steve McQueen the greatest. Love the look on his face when he first spots the Dodge Charger sitting there. What thoughts must have been going thru his brain. Perfectly choreographed scene.
Nothing beats seeing this film on the big screen ! Best car chase ever. It doesn't really need the music that was inserted. You'll understand why when you see the original, especially when going through the streets of San Francisco. Your stomach will be in your throat !!
@@bobwhalen1181 If may add another good chase between a 73 Gran Ville and a 73 Venture,and the Gran Ville being driven by Bill Hickman the same guy who drove the Charger in Bullet is The Seven Ups.
I always enjoy listening to the throaty sound of that engine and marvel at the seven or eight speed trans. Amazing for a ‘68 ford. I’ve counted his shifts as he flies through the mountain pass after the dusty slide-out. I lose count after six….😂
I love San Francisco, muscle cars, this movie & the chase scenes! My oldest brother Robert, drove a fastback Stang in HS & looked just like Steve McQueen but was 6’4”,,,an uncanny resemblance. He sadly passed away unexpectedly 2 months ago, R.I.P. my ultra cool bro💔
When I was stationed in Vietnam (68-69), my buddy and I took a flight on a Thai medevac plane to Bangkok for a weekend. One of the highlights was going to a theatre that had this movie. It rivaled any of the best theaters in NYC. We were the only Americans in it. It had waiters taking food and beer orders! When this chase came on, all the Thai people (mostly guys) were standing up and cheering! After I came home in '60, I bought a used 3 year old Dodge Charger, 440 SLE. The body was White and the roof was White. I had it up to 140 mph one night on a straight stretch of highway in South NJ. No one was on the road but I finally eased off on it. There was plenty of power left! Cheers, Bob
I think that most people who have seen this movie have to agree that not only is this the best car chase ever filmed, it has a hood story to go with it. I think that is some of what’s missing in todays films, especially if it is one like this. First, there is the quality of actors, there is just no substitute. Even if you could make a updated version of this movie using the same cars and all, it just wouldn’t be the same. Things were just different, I was 10 when this movie came out. Had no idea of it then, but now it is one movie that just can’t be duplicated. Even some older films like this one don’t even come close.
Oh, bull stuff. Vanishing Point, Gone in Sixty Seconds both topped this movie for chase scenes. Even French Connection compared with it. Granted, Steve McQueen was a good actor. Bu this wasn't his best movie. t
@@williammason9789 But he really did do his own stunt driving in this movie. Gene Hackman nor Roy Scheider drove in the French Connection or the Seven Ups in their stunt scenes. Steve McQueen trained with Bill Hickman to do this stunt chase. That's what makes this scene so special.
James Dean hired Bill Hickman to help him with racing..mainly to corner (drift) they became good friends..that famous last photo of James Dean outside the Porsche spider with the station wagon in the background..Bill Hickman is driving the station wagon..
Here in Konstanz/Germany, every year People meet to show their Cars. And the Bullit is every time to see, so great this piece of history. Great Car, great People🎉
Can remember when I first saw this film was very young blew me away absolutely amazing love mustangs and the music just fits the movie will never be a film star like Steve mcqueen
I used to use this in a university course in writing plays - this is a perfect example of a three -act play. Beginning, middle and end. Set up, protagonist - Steve - tries and tries, fails (motorcycle), act three is the finale and protagonist wins. Note that each car has a " voice" and they cut back and forth from voice to voice. Brilliant. The Gold Standard for all car chases.
Not only was this the best chase scene ever, it was, and still is, a great movie. And Steve McQueen--no one like him. Until I watched this video, I never realized how much the music added to the tension of the chase.
To the guy wondering about the guy who lays the bike down, no, it wasn't McQueen. It was, in fact, the same stunt rider who did "the jump" in The Great Escape."
I love this old movie not just for the chase I also love all the old classic cars we see them passing beautiful rides all of them they don't make them like that anymore
Never get tired of watching this chase 😍. after all these years .Back then it was a great time to be a car nut .because Detroit cranked out some iconic iron..
And the Charger and Mustang fastback are two of the most awesome designs. Mc Queen obviously chose them for the movie, but strangely I,ve seen little evidence of him having American cars in his collection , it's all Porches and Jag's .
I've been to San Francisco, and that is the ONE city where I would not to be involved in a car chase! It's scary enough riding the trolley cars for the first time! The car chase in 'Bullitt' is the best ever. Stunt driver for McQeen was fantastic. I've never been a Ford fan, but ya gotta love that Mustang!
Great car chase what a classic movie everyone remembers this chase Steve McQueen was one hell of a actor and driver a ture original that can never be matched 😮
I reckon that Steve broke the driveshaft when he did that reverse (you can see the axle tramping up and down) because as he powered away there was only one tyre smoking and one line but this is THE car chase
1. Cars with broken driveshafts or rear axles don't go anywhere. 2. It's very common for only one wheel to spin on a non-Posi rear diff. 3. Wheel-hop is also very common on musclecars.
Remember it well from the movie theater so many, many years ago. The first real car chase in the movies where the film wasn't artificially sped up. Steve was (and still is) the king of cool.
I always said there where 3 cars involved in this chase... The Charger, the Mustang and the green VW Beetle. Along with the 27 hubcaps that flew off the Charger...
The same Green VW beatle appears twice in the same sequence in the SF. The Charger loses a hubcap turning left but all subsequent shots show it in place!
Steve Mcqueen was an actor and a motor head...His role in the movie The Great Escape during the escape scene on his motor cycle was classic...He almost got away but not quite ...........................................................................................................................................
Toprağın bol olsun, büyük sanatçı Steve Mcqueen...Muhteşem sahneler..Efsane bir araba1968 Mustang GT fastback...Daha ne olsun..ne güzel bir filmdi...🐎🎥🎞👍👏❤😉
Die Auto-Jagd schlechthin, absolut coole Jazzmusiker dazu, und die beiden geilen Boliden Ford Mustang GT und Dodge Charger R/T, großartig und amazing !!!!!! 😮😮😮❤❤❤😊😊😊
The first time I visited California in the late 70s, it was like that for me. Here in New England, the cars rusted out in a few years from the salt on the roads. I got to southern California, and there were all these beautiful cars - not restored or anything... They just lasted because of no salt in the roads. The air pollution was really bad though...
@@TommyZeus-i8n Zeus is the best god- anyway when the hubcraps fly off and the green bug shows-true Hollywood style snap those useless hubcraps back on, go at it again
Still the absolute gold standard in stunt driving. God it's still worth watching this clip again and again. Ahhh.
There are a few others bit this gold .. imagine what it would look like with same driving … blocking camera angles but shot in 4k
back in those days not CGI....just stunt drivers with no fear
I agree 👍
The biker who dumped his bike at speed really had the steel balls.
Bud Ekins.
This is such a great movie, much more than just the car chase. A classic all around.
Even dumber than you are.
But I understarnd producer and director. Target audience was bottom 50% of population.
Good for business.
Still the greatest chase scene ever.

true
Amen to that the best Car chase .... Peter Yates genius director. No one can touch Steve king of cool 😎

There's a reason McQueen didn't want any music during the chase. And now you've showed he was right.

Who is the King of Cool ? Steve McQueen. What is the definition of cool? James Dean.

But James Dean liked wiener. Steven McQueen was far from gay.
