I never get tired of watching the car chase scene in "Bullitt". Never.

Yeah, it is one of the best.

They recently tracked down the original car with original dents 🙂

All the Blues Brothers car scenes are my fave. There used to me a junkyard a couple miles from me that had all the squad cars that were crashed in that movie. Wish I could go back in time and get a few souvenirs from them.

I like the one in Thelma and Louise.

I read a story on that film. Parts of that were shot with the camera man hanging out a window of one of the cars with a makeshift harness and he just had to hold on to the camera for dear life. Crazy stuff. I bought that movie on iTunes Movies. The rest of the film is kind of, meh IMO. ??

Agreed about the rest of the film.
So much wrong with it.
But, Steve McQueen and that '68 Mustang...
I can ignore everything else.

Gone in 60 Seconds and the original Vanishing Point...two more classics .

Specify: original GISS chase scene. Unlike Bullitt which a great movie with the greatest chase scene, GISS is a great chase scene with the old Elenore in a not so good film.
Vanishing Point was a great old film with a great chase scene.
Add to those - French Connection and another fun, bad flick: Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.

@Beowulfsfriend I liked the new GISS...and French Connection was intense as HELL...Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry was Meh for me...the new Vanishing point was pathetic in my opinion...but that's just me...

@phoenixone1 the new Vanishing Point was awful. The new GISS had a better story and like I said, the original had a great chase scene, but the rest of the film is to sleep through. Mary and Larry wasn't a good flick, it did have some fun car moments.

Bullit was a watershed film in movie car chase history. Watch almost any car chase from before Bullit and the difference is obvious.

I loved that Sons of Anarchy did a chase scene that was an homage to the one in Bullitt. I think it was the next to last episode of the series.

Nothing amazes me more than the number of hubcaps that come off the Charger. Pure witchcraft!

I know!!! I started counting during the scene, and got distracted and lost count!!
And how many times the green VW Beetle shows up.

I don't care. I still love that movie.

@KKGator - Me too. One of the best. The whole smoking in the hospital thing cracks me up, too. How times have changed.

@davyjones Indeed.
Oh, and the driver of the Charger putting on his lap belt before the car chase starts. LOL

Good one.
However it probably ranks #3 after "Duel" and "OJ"
