Bullitt: a car chase like never before

Bullitt is a 1968 action movie with Steven McQueen, Robert Duvall, … and this is why you’re supposed to know it:

“Bullitt is most-remembered for its central car chase scene through the streets of downtown San Francisco, one of the earliest and most influential car chase sequences in movies. The scene had Bullitt in a dark “Highland Green” 1968 Ford Mustang G.T.390 Fastback, chasing two hit-men in a “Tuxedo Black” 1968 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi. (In honor of the Mustang in the film, the Ford Motor Company produced a limited edition 2001 Ford Mustang GT “Bullitt Mustang,” which took styling cues from the ’68 movie car and even mimicked its exhaust note).”

But since an image says more than a thousand words: I got the memorable car chase here for you. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube. Enjoy the ride… and make sure you got the sound up on maximum, it’s dirty :)
