Buy This Item Bullitt by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 11-25-2008     San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. <i>Bullitt</i> is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (<i>Breaking Away</i>) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews I am a Ford Mustang fan. The chase scene in this movie set the standard for any, and all chase scenes that came afterwards. Steve McQueen did all of his own stunt driving in a 1966 Mustang 2+2 fasback. This is really a cool movie. I would highly recommend this movie for anyone who loves old muscle cars. There is a Dodge Charger in this movie that is also involved in the chase scene.
