Bullitt is a GREAT movie.

That was probably the most gut wrenching driving scene ever filmed.
Wasn’t the driver of the charger also a famous stuntman/driver? It seems like I read that somewhere.

Just doesn’t seem the same without Steve McQueen and Bill Hickman, not to mention the 6 or 7 flying hubcaps off McQueen’s car... ;-)

I'm impressed by the
Telecopier scene. It foreshadowed the information age, and it's quite interesting the way it's played for drama. I had forgotten all about it before re-viewing the movie in recent years.
Note it features Robert Vaughn, Simon Oakland, and Norman Fell, along with Steve McQueen.
... I feel a song coming on.

""Before the filming could be done, the Charger and the Mustang required preparation. One of the best wrenchmen in the movie business, Max Balchowsky, recalls the Mustang in particular needed considerable modifications so it could hold up during the relentless beatings it would take during the filming. ...Balchowsky remembers I hardly had to anything to the Dodges engine, but what I was worried about was the strength of the front end. To shore up the front, Balchowsky revised the torsion bars, beefed up the control arms and added heavy duty shocks. As with the Mustang, all parts were fluxed. For the rear end, Balchowsky told us, I got some special rear springs, what you call a high spring rate, a flat without any arch in it, and using that spring the car would stay low. Its similar to the same springs they use in police cars, which makes a good combination. When the police specify a package, they have more spring here, a little bigger brake there, a little bit more happening in the shocks, and it makes a good car. But the director of BULLITT wanted a brand new car instead of an ex-police car, so I got the springs from a friend at Chrysler. We had to weld reinforcements under the arms and stuff on the Dodge. We did lose a lot of hubcaps on the Charger. Wed put the hubcaps back on, but I suppose it probably would have been better if we had lest them off....

Lordy, I hate car chases. I guess it’s appealing if you are a guy, which I am not.
