I guess it is only us old guys that know the true importance of that classic.
I bet I've seen that chase 15 times.

I agree that it was an amazing film, I saw some of it get shot. BUT, if you think these guys thought this stuff up, check out the career of Remy Julien, a french stunt driver who pioneered crazy street sequences. See the original Italian Job with the "real" minis...this guy was doing this stuff 5 years before Bullit....I think he is where they got the idea for some of the stuff....Bullit had drivers who were as good but the original ideas may have come from Europe....Remy's stuff is amazing...check it out.

Bullet, Ronin, To live and Die in LA. Great chase scenes. Also Borne Identity and Borne Supremecy. But for most carnage, Gotta be Blues Brothers.
Cheers, Elliot

Bullitt definitely is the classic.

Ronin and Bourne Identity are my other favorite movies with great car chase scenes - great driving!

Have you seen the Boxitt spoof? Pretty funny

You're right. I'm surprized that they didn't see that when they edited the cuts and do something about it.

But I'm sure they didn't think a bunch of motorheads would be picking it apart 40 years after it was made. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Anytime you are in a room full of people, and it's on... they all stop talking, and hold their breath.

But you know they could have been so concerned about what was going on in the foreground they forgot about the background.

Like in this picture. Look out the window.
This was shown on a real estate website trying sell the house.

Miss Encinas seems to have some facts wrong.
There were four primary cars but I belive that they used up 9-10 Chargers and 13 Mustanges , one of which they stuffed into the first floor of an office building along the route. My grandfather worked on the 9th floor. Not all of the cars were prepared the same, some setup for jumping and some for the high speed runs and turns.
In one of the jump sequences you can see the frame of the Mustang collapse as the landing occures. Any one who has launched a car of this vintage will tell you that on every landing stuff breaks no mater how modified the car is.

Still great after all these years.
