You can tell the one in the movie is a 1968 at a quick glance (besides of course the movie itself being 1968!) from the single grill that goes all the way across, which would become split in 1969, and the two circular taillights on either side, which became rather cool rectangular ones in 1969. I like the grill of the 1968 better, but the taillights of the 1969. Either way, killer freaking body style - a timeless, menacing-looking car for 60s movie hitmen!

Fun fact: Director Peter Yates estimated that the top speeds during certain portions of filming the scene would need to be 75-80 mph to achieve the realism he desired. The stunt drivers later confessed that had the cars up to 110 mph at times. And, because the Charger had 50+ h.p. on the Mustang meant its stunt driver was constantly having to lay off the accelerator to get the shots Yates wanted.

@MilkDrinker2182 роки тому
@@FrankBullitt390 the sound of the Mustang isn’t authentic though, it’s actually the sound of a GT40’s engine dubbed in, which is why you’ll hear it upshift about 12 times during the chase. Furthermore, I remember reading the top speed statistics on both, the Charger was only 2-3 mph faster, the difference was in traction, the charger’s immense weight kept the tires glued to the road while the Mustang, being lighter, did burnouts in reverse gear, as you saw in that one shot. It just depended on what road they were on really, tight, narrow, San Francisco streets full of traffic were perfect for the Mustang, being able to corner much better and not fish-tail as much. The countryside with the long, clear straights were where the Charger could absolutely fly.

dehoe disc - Two identical Mustangs and two matching Chargers were used in the Bullitt chase sequence. So that the four-speed Mustang could run more easily with the brawnier four-speed 440 Magnum Charger, Hollywood engineer Max Balchowsky installed a racing cam on both Fords, milled the heads, and modified the ignition and carburetion systems. Additionally, Balchowsky bulked up the suspensions of all four cars for improved strength, handling, and control. One Mustang and one Charger were fitted with a full roll cage.

Ah, Bullet with Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bisset, as good as The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw. Both classic action movies: no CGI, no unnecessary BS dialogue, time to build up characters. Movies WITH actions scenes, not movies that are nothing but action scenes. Both on my all time favorite list, thanks for sharing.

@johnbecay688718 днів тому
@@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 Bullitt has inconsistencies and continuity issues, as has been pointed out for the last 56 years. (that pesky VW springs to mind). But, upon its release in 1968, it set the movie world on its ear. Gritty realism, innovative camera techniques, and antihero protagonists were all fresh innovations and combining them in a superb action film headed by Steve McQueen has made Bullitt an iconic film. Serious gearheads knew cars from the factory would never survive the abuse of that race. Furthermore, the glaring faux paus of portraying a 390 Mustang managing to keep pace with a 440 Charger was utter fantasy. But it doesn't matter. Bullitt does what all good art does. It captures its subject matter and portrays it in novel ways. That snapshot of the time, the place, the cars and the culture, which could have been so easily buried in some forgettable movie, was instead turned into legend. Half a century on it's still a thrill. As for the sound recording, let Mike Magda's eye-opening account, "Dangerous Pursuit: The Real Truth Behind the 'Bullitt' Chase Scene" (subtitled Steve McQueen and his green Mustang defined on screen car chases for a generation) in Motor Trend, June 20, 2005, cast some light into the murky recesses of the internet. Here's an excerpt-- "After Keller and Yates finished editing the chase, John Kean went to work recording and mixing in the sound of the revving engines and squealing tires. Kean and Bud Ekins took the cars to Willow Springs Raceway near Los Angeles for the recording. Some critics complain that the Mustang upshifts so many times it sounds as if it has a six-speed transmission, but most of the sounds fit the scenes perfectly, including the tires barking during gear changes and the rpm shifts during speed changes. Kean was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on the film." --Mike Magda Bullitt remains the quintessential car chase scene. It is the most influential chase scene ever filmed and the chase scene against which all others are measured.

I was just reading something on that. Bill Hickman, the driver, was a stunt driver in Hollywood. The way the seatbelts in the Charger were at the time had a tendency to keep you planted in your seat, so in fact, he did it to maintain control of the car. When he came around the one corner and smacked the parked white car, that car had a camera on it, and he wasn't supposed to hit it. But, yeah, he in fact did know what he was doing. He was a close friend to James Dean, and was only a few minutes behind Dean with Dean's stationwagon and trailer when Dean crashed. Hickman was the first on scene, and Dean died in his arms.

The fact that this racing through the streets was in real time on real streets adds something to its excitement. You're seeing real speeding, real turns, real braking and real noise. I doubt something like this will ever be allowed again. Those Mopar's back then were beasts. It was said that the Charger had to purposely slow down so the Mustang could catch up. Realistically, the Charger was much more car than the Mustang. I once drove a '67 Fury 1 Interceptor with a 440 Magnum Commando and high speed rear axle and it would catch virtually anybody and this was a 5,000 pound car. That monster was strong and FAST! The posi rear would keep spinning tires until the body caught up with it. We also drove, for 1 test drive, a prototype '69. It was SO fast, all of us were scared of it. We weren't told what was under the hood, but whatever it was, it put fear in all of us.

During the filming of this chase sequence McQueen kept losing control of the Mustang which threatened the crew's safety. The problem of making McQueen look heroic on film and also protect the film crew was for McQueen to be seen visibly driving the car is limited to safe shots where he can't injure the crew. All of the real stunt driving is performed by the glasses wearing Dodge driver Bill Hickman. He was the premier stunt driver in Hollywood in that era. Great chase scene. Still the gold standard. Both cars were sold off after the movie and disappeared for decades. McQueen later tried to buy the Mustang but the owner refused and drove it around town on errands. The story of both cars is online.

I'm pretty sure that if you watch the behind the scenes of the chase you can see that McQueen stopped because the Charger hit a parkes car that had a tripod on it and it launched the trypod off the car. McQueen didn't know if the Charger would keep going so he stopped in the intersection. When he saw that Bill Hickman wasn't going to stop after hitting the car he had to reverse and then go around the turn. The part where the Charger hit the other car is at 4:07 and you can see that the Charger disapears. The Charger struck the car and the camera stopped filming. They put the camera back on the car and cut out the part where it hit the ground. They did that while McQueen was in the intersection.

Vin diesel told him to do that

@@xox945 I owned a '69 Chevy Nova SS 350 4-speed as my first car in the 70's. Never ever did I have to double clutch. Slapped every gear in an instant without missing. If you have never driven or owned one, you would be "that guy". Ask anybody that owned a Muscle Car. No double shifting needed.

Not sure if there's many cars built today that could take a beating like that without costing thousands to fix 👍👍👍 Also, love the sound of that 390!
