I think CGI is a useful tool in modern movies to touch up scenes in small ways, but it can be overused in a movie trying to look hyperrealistic and end up looking cheesy or goofy in the end.

his only car chase better than this one was the flick where he was driving the satellite, that was a bare knuckle adventure right there. The best car chases were with Mcqueen though.

Howard Kerr

Actually, this was duplicated...by Ford Motor Company. They took this video and turned it into a commercial for a small Ford sporty car. Basically, they digitally " dropped " Steve McQueen into the driver's seat of a car sold in Europe, the Ford Puma, and digitally replaced the Mustang we see here with the Ford Puma. I wouldn't be surprised if the video would be on YouTube somewhere.

I was a 13 year-old kid when I saw Bullitt the movie. The car chase scene was epic then and still is, in my opinion, the best car chase movie scene ever. I just remember being in the theater, and leaning left and right as Steve raced through the San Francisco streets. I think we paid around $1.35 to get in the movie. Steve McQueen was my childhood hero, and the coolest guy ever!

@Jet Man It isn't even the actual sound of the Mustang.🤷‍♂️ The sound of that V8 double clutching comes from a Ford GT-40.
They actually shot half the movie without sound, all these sounds of the cars and part of the dialogue were added in post-production.

Jet Man

@Deer Lord ...Rumor has it, McQueen didn't want any musical score during the chase. Wanted the audiences to hear and feel the power !!! And I sold my 70 SS 396 back in the day for fifteen hundred bucks !!! Mercy !!!

Joseph D.

I believe the understeer and overshoot on that turn was genuine, and McQueen stuck his head out for the reverse burnout to show the audience that he was driving... makes it look that much more real. Although I think he only drove parts of it. The double de-clutching was edited in from a Le Mans Ford race car, I think. It sounds badass!

One of the best car chases on film. Certainly the best up to that time. Yes they undercranked lots of it, the Charger loses multiple wheel covers and they pass the same cars multiple times but this chase did a great job of putting the viewer in the action. It changed movie and TV car chases from that point on

J H

"...Charger loses multiple wheel covers..." Yep.

Fred

2y↑2

I'm sure when it was filmed it just looked like any other street in America. But now specific classics stand out. They passed the same white 67/68 Firebird about 4 times. I'm not complaining, def my favorite muscle car, but it was noticeable. Just nice to see a chase without 50 cuts between unnecessary shifting, feet on pedals, skidding tires ... they just drove em like they stole em.

Living in San Francisco the first three months of 1977, two friends of mine and I walked the chase scenes in the city, purposely to say we were there if you can understand the thinking patterns of young men in their late twenties. The skid marks could still be seen on the pavement after all those years. This chase scene brings back so many memories from before our walk along the streets of San Francisco. Steve McQueen was my hero back in those days, I even had to have a car like his, wish I would have kept it, as I said earlier, the memories I have included that car.

@Randy White The Raid 2's car chase, John Wick (like 2 at the beginning for example), Fast and Furious (they use a lot of real cars with practical effects in the last few movies despite being kind of mindless popcorn action). Baby Driver's opening chase in incredibly well done and has many aspects synced to the music such as passing traffic tubes as a drum roll happens in the song

TheBlueGoldenHawk

Martin Lopez you're writing like you haven't even watched them. The Raid movies barely even have CGI, if any lol. Anyway the car chase is largely about the martial arts being performed in the car. Anyway I'm sure this car chase was good for its time, but just because it's a classic movie doesn't mean more interesting and impressive things have been done since then

I don't understand why this chase is still being regarded as the best ever? Yeah, Steve McCqueen is cool and yes, the cars are cool. But the filming and editing is rather low budget to a point where it becomes almost ridiculous by today's standards. Like, for example, shooting the same scene from different angles hoping that no one would notice :-)

Piotr Malewski

6y↑12

The chase is so famous because it was the fastest and bravest chase ever filmed back in 1968, and there were very little of film makers that ever attempted to make another chase like this. Also ,the chase is still impressive in comparision to other movie chases for some people because it features real, well executed sports driving while other filmmakers heavily rely on editing and actually slow driving, with a few low speed easy tricks such as handbrake turns (if any). As a rally fan and a person who took part in a few rallies as a competitor, I find this chase much more interesting than most of other chases ever filmed. I think only the 1970ties Vanishing Point and The Burglars (with Belmondo) hold the same level. Other chases are either slower, unrealistic or overedited (or, amazingly, altogether same time).

The G-Man

Piotr Malewski : Good answer, yes. I agree. But still, by modern standards, it's not that amazing, in my opinion. Not the best chase ever, but still great for it's time :-)

Gotta love how the bad guys fastened their seat belts right before they gunned it.

what made this scene so great there was no background music , you can actually hear the tires squealing and the engine being roared , like your in the car at the time , I have no idea why HOLLYWOOD doesn't take notice to this

Gotta say, the Need For Speed movie also does this. It may not be the best movie overall (acting, dialogue, storyline), but imo they did the car scenes really good. Also no cgi in there, and most of the time no music when there's driving. So for being a car movie, I really enjoy that one a lot more than most F&F-like movies.

There was one movie I watched that compared to this, it was like a 5 min car chase and there was a chick driving and she kept flashing other cars to get outta the way

Did anyone noticed that they keep passing the same green Volkswagen Beetle like 3 or 4 times. 😂 That’s how you can tell that this chase scene is realistic. Too bad that they didn’t have CGI back then, they could’ve added different cars in instead of using the same ones over and over.

Man, if you switch to full-screen and turn up the sound, you can really feel that car chase!

Just went to Mecums Auction Thursday. Had to see Steve’s car up close and personal. Gave me goosebumps
Got to meet Sean, the owner
Super nice guy
Sold yesterday for $3.4 million plus fees

I believe Sean made the opening bid on that car. It was what his dad paid for it--$2,500!!!!!!!

I believe Sean will miss this car more than any money he got for it...Only one Bullitt Car.

saw the SM Mustang or the stunt car equlivent? at the Americana Theater's 1968 Austin TX. film premiere on Burnet Road.

Jack Bailey

There were actually several identical cars. Movie producers take no chances and car chases take a toll.

An absolute classic. Was I hallucinating, or did they overtake the same dark green VW Beetle at least four times? 😂

69 Fast Back

that green VW Beetle had twin turbos :)

@69 Fast Back Can you give me some more information on this? Super interested!!

Michelle Powell

I suspect if they'd known there would be a YouTube someday to watch it over and over, they'd have been more careful

Yes :)

Lalo Schifrin's "Changing Gears", used in this sequence, remains one of the coolest jazz tracks for cinema of all time.

Steve McCracken == I've always thought all stunts with the car driven by McQueen were by McQueen himself... Am I wrong ? --(gilberto lehrer from brazil)

@Waljer Jackson Mirrors? What do you mean? I've always thought McQueen never made use of stunt drivers.... Am I wrong? == (gilberto lehrer from brazil)

gil lehrer when the rear view mirror is down showing his chin, it’s him, when it’s up, showing his hair or nothing it’s a stunt driver

Love how the yellow taxi from the beginning of the chase is seen later blocking the streets so they can turn. Awesome

First time I saw this movie was in an inside theater, everyone in there was leaning in their seats trying to see what was coming. Later as the new wore off, I started counting how many wheel covers the Charger lost. Then miraculously on the next shot, all four were back on the car. Another thing was how many green VW's did he pass. With all that it was one hell of a movie, and there will never be another Steve McQueen.

If you’ve ever driven cars of this era, while they certainly had giant V8’s their suspension, tires and ‘brakes” were so crude in that era made this a terrifying chase I am sure. To me that’s what made it so iconic; of course in those cars the brakes had reduced to smoking puddles of slag long before they ever made it to the hills. I do love the putting on the seatbelt at the start (because safety first!). I do love the sound of the double clutching on that 302 with just the right amount of crackle and pop (I can’t remember if the 68 had sync]nchromesh gearing?)

BuzzLOLOL

Ford 390" V8... all the 4 speeds were synchro... Ford also first with all synchro 3 speed in early 1960's... GM sold mostly 4 speeds in performance cars so actually bought the Ford synchro 3 speed for the few hyper cars owners that wanted one...
Those drum brakes of performance cars had better stopping power than the early little disc brakes with too little rotors that fit inside the 13" and 14" wheels of the time...
