The fact that they never said a word, cut the music when the real chase began, and let all the action speak for itself seems... Almost alien to me. No words, almost no music, just engines, tires, slams, and crash landings. Not even a "He's onto us" or an occasional "Shit!".
It's beautiful.

Steve McQueen could drive. He wasn't just a Hollywood legend. He was also a race car driver. He had driven in Le Mans, Sebring, and I do believe Daytona. Fifty-five years later, this is still the greatest chase scene in Hollywood.

The vehicle those hit men were in just looks menacing. The fact they're both older middle aged men indicates they are experienced, calm and patient. No two characters look as grim and mechanical at their job then these two characters chosen to play the role of consummate killers for the syndicate. Nothing personal, just business. They communicate by glances without saying a word. Insane acting.

As FrankensteinsMonster-1313 said, 1968 Dodge Charger. The 1968 and 1969 models were my favorite Chargers ever made. You can tell the one in the movie is a 1968 at a quick glance (besides of course the movie itself being 1968!) from the single grill that goes all the way across, which would become split in 1969, and the two circular taillights on either side, which became rather cool rectangular ones in 1969. I like the grill of the 1968 better, but the taillights of the 1969. Either way, killer freaking body style - a timeless, menacing-looking car for 60s movie hitmen!

By the sound of McQueen's Mustang V8 Motor especially then, when he one gear with intermediate gas switched higher, I get always goose bumps, no matter how often I look at this. And then there is still that exciting music of the typical 60s in that scenes. I can only say wow !!! Hell yeah, that´s timeless great Hollywood theater. Mister COOL was the best with his Mustang 390 GT. Thx Mister McQueen, may you R.I.P. I will always remember you.

Fun fact: Director Peter Yates estimated that the top speeds during certain portions of filming the scene would need to be 75-80 mph to achieve the realism he desired. The stunt drivers later confessed that had the cars up to 110 mph at times. And, because the Charger had 50+ h.p. on the Mustang meant its stunt driver was constantly having to lay off the accelerator to get the shots Yates wanted.

The Charger also handled all the jumps with stock suspension, whereas the Mustang had to be modified to handle them. They built cars fucking tough back in those days.

@FrankBullitt390

Heard that 20+ years ago, the charger was too fast and had to stay slow for the mustang - you can hear it in RPM's, the charger is literally cruising and the stang is at 6000 rpm wide open. For the record 390 mustangs weren't fast, 440 Charger R/T's were - look it up

@MilkDrinker218

@@FrankBullitt390 the sound of the Mustang isn’t authentic though, it’s actually the sound of a GT40’s engine dubbed in, which is why you’ll hear it upshift about 12 times during the chase.
Furthermore, I remember reading the top speed statistics on both, the Charger was only 2-3 mph faster, the difference was in traction, the charger’s immense weight kept the tires glued to the road while the Mustang, being lighter, did burnouts in reverse gear, as you saw in that one shot. It just depended on what road they were on really, tight, narrow, San Francisco streets full of traffic were perfect for the Mustang, being able to corner much better and not fish-tail as much. The countryside with the long, clear straights were where the Charger could absolutely fly.

There's certainly reasons Chargers were used for so many car chases in so many movies and tv shows. It's like they were built specifically for it!

Not only the two main cars in this scene but notice the number of way cool cars parked or rolling on the streets as the scene is being shot? Man I miss the 70's for the most part. I would pay a chunk of money to go back to those days and be in my teens or twenties again, even if for just a week.

@@mikestyles499 Horseshit, the point is that Hollywood sound professionals had total control over all the engine noise and tire screeching, and it has Nothing to do with technology. McQueen was pretending to shift a 4 speed when the car actually had an automatic. You children always get fooled by the pros. That's why they make the big money.

@mikestyles499

dehoe disc - Two identical Mustangs and two matching Chargers were used in the Bullitt chase sequence. So that the four-speed Mustang could run more easily with the brawnier four-speed 440 Magnum Charger, Hollywood engineer Max Balchowsky installed a racing cam on both Fords, milled the heads, and modified the ignition and carburetion systems. Additionally, Balchowsky bulked up the suspensions of all four cars for improved strength, handling, and control. One Mustang and one Charger were fitted with a full roll cage.
