"putting hubcaps back on ...The time I first saw 'Bullitt' was at a small town theater. We were so mesmerized by the car chase that we sat through the movie four times.....and the Dodge lost five hubcaps, by our count......

I don’t know why it took McQueen so long to catch them with them stopping five times to put those hubcaps back on.

It was a great movie but I must say “continuity” is a pet peeve of mine. A guy has a glass that’s full, then it’s half full, then it’s full again. Or he lights a cigarette and 10 seconds later it’s burned down to the filter. Or someone in the back ground keeps disappearing then reappearing. I watch for the screw ups

Good Continuity Directors don’t get enough credit. They used to take polaroids to try to remember everything for the next take. Now they have digital cameras. It should be easy.
