The realism of that scene did make it unique. Great uncoolness that it made it cool: when he decides he’d better buckle up. Steve McQueen comes off a lot more like Daniel Craig than I’d ever considered.
Craig’s footrace in his first Bond film is certain a top chase scene. But when evaluating Bond, the dichotomy between car and foot is silly! There’s water skiing, snow skiing, jet skiing, viola sledding, airplane chases...
And then there’s that Terminator chase scene with the 18-wheeler. No CGI there, yet... only the driver “recomposing” himself after was CGI.

Cat billed for GEZ television fee http://www.thelocal.de/national/20081212-16091.html
I found this in "The Local - Germany's News in English"
The GEZ is the Gebühreneinzugszentrale der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, or “fee collection centre of public-law broadcasting institutions in the Federal Republic of Germany.”
The organization requires a license to own and use televisions, radio and sometimes internet. The fee money funds public broadcasters such as ARD and ZDF. It appears that it isn't that unusual for pets in Germany to receive bills from the GEZ.
Now, is NPR really all that bad?

Jake: That's where they got that Picasso.
Elwood: Yep.

I think, without question, Bullitt has the best chase seen ever. Real cars, real city streets at actual high speeds. McQueen did his own driving.
