Bullitt San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (Breaking Away) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. –Jeff Shannon
Customer Review: The car chase
If you judge this movie with today’s standarts you would say that it has a slow pace. However there are not many, if any, actors today like Steve McQueen just for that and the greatest car chase in movie history this movie is worth own it and watching it. It should be noted that at that period of time there were no computers or special effects that exist in todays movie industry and thus the car chase becames ever better. Good plot and great acting
