CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Bullitt (Steve McQueen) barely makes it out alive during this dangerous high-speed car chase between his 1968 Ford Mustang GT and the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T being driven by the hitmen.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In one of his most famous roles, Steve McQueen stars as tough-guy police detective Frank Bullitt. The story begins with Bullitt assigned to a seemingly routine detail, protecting mafia informant Johnny Ross (Pat Renella), who is scheduled to testify against his Mob cronies before a Senate subcommittee in San Francisco. But when a pair of hitmen ambush their secret location, fatally wounding Ross, things don't add up for Bullitt, so he decides to investigate the case on his own. Unfortunately for him, ambitious senator Walter Chalmers (Robert Vaughn), the head of the aforementioned subcommittee, wants to shut his investigation down, hindering Bullitt's plan to not only bring the killers to justice but discover who leaked the location of the hideout.

This has more Fast and Furious than Fast and Furious now.
That seans mustang at f3 tokyo drift
Steve mcqueen would have been a great actor in fast and furious
@@omardiaz3557 Well, why not bring in Steve’s granddaughter, Molly McQueen?
@@mj_slashtx5451 also doms 68 charger from f9
@@yourelostunclenamedchad7621 yep
Nearly half a century old and yet looks absolutely stunning. What a masterpiece.
®ioT yeah this movie is amazing and it's one of my favourites! but thinking that most of the classic mustangs and chargers are today either rusted out or destroyed and most of people who played in this movie are now probably dead feels kinda sad
@@marekmisztal2542 wym there's thousands of them every where
Better movie scenes then the movies of today.
it looks sad af, dodge looks hundred times better
Great car chase but unintelligible disjointed film.
Without words and without music, just look, listen to motors and ambient sound, pure art
@@Jonathan-si2nd l read that Mr. S. Mc Q . was doing a lot of double clutching while chasing that Dodge Charger on the open highway .
just the beauty of movies ;)
This is one of the things I love about old movies. They had a lot of relatable ambient sounds, not just like in this scene but daily life, traffic, etc., whereas today's movies feel like they're shot on a soundstage, which they are.
I know the mustang with a 390 gt, anyone know what was in the charger?
@@clementjohnson2666 كحة "
In his suit and tie, and the chemistry teacher eyeglasses, Bill Hickman's portrayal of that straight-faced getaway driver is unforgettable.
He'd have fit right in Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs
I hear he did the chase scene in The French Connection.
Yes, in The French Connection he actually did double duty. Hickman was the chase scene's stunt driver and he also played Fed agent Mulderig, the guy who is accidentally shot at the end. Bill Hickman was friends with James Dean, and he was the first one on the scene after the crash which killed Dean. Bill had been following a minute or two behind while towing Dean's race car trailer.
Sean Connery
He kinda looked like Sean Connery at the time
Proof that you don’t need dramatic background music or CGI to create amazing scenes.
The music is the engine.
Just the sound of Bullitt Mufflers
Don’t forget slow motion matrix style stuff!
What do you mean that was horrible
Just killer cars, something not too common anymore.
I love how this chase scene goes on and on without a word. The cars say everything .
McQueen was not big on dialog. Watch the first several minutes of LeMans- not a word of dialog. In the Magnificent Seven, McQueen completely upstages Yul Brynner while sucking on a straw in his mouth.
well u dont talk when ur going through a chase with ur life on the line in real life
Bullitt it's the second film starring Steve McQueen in 1968 after The Thomas Crown Affair
yep the roar of the engine is all the music I need or care about
I definitely agree with you on that, the car sounds engine really stole the scene, in the chase.
This chase scene was absolute brilliance. One of the few times in movie history that with no dialogue, CGI, unnecessary sound effects or dumbass music it still manages to keep your attention and not be boring or too over the top. In another 10 or 20 years, this scene wont be possible to replicate but at least it is on film and will always be available for those of us that appreciate the raw sound and looks of an era that is long gone.
Wish someone would do a chase just like this with today's muscle cars. The Hellcat and GT350/500 deserve a _rematch_ , dammit... and they're probably not gonna be around for much longer.
You should check out the movie "grindhouse" its a newer movie that has some of the best car chases ive ever seen between a 69 charger and a 70 challenger. The filming style is very similar to this.
@@who_cares848 I love that movie, That chase was awesome and Zoe Bell was a total badass. I liked Stuntman Mike's Nova in the one before that chase just a little bit more. I wouldn't want to ride in the "crash box" though. It is a shame that they destroyed all three of those cars but it was really cool to watch
@me3333 yeah it was definitely a shame that they wrecked those cars but at least it made for an awesome scene. Didnt piss me off nearly as much as Drive angry where they wreck that chevelle... that movie wasn't even good....
Steve McQueen in the Mustang, Bill Hickman as the wheelman in the Charger, Paul Genge as the hitman in the Charger & Bud Ekins who threw down the bike, will live forever in this scene!!!!!
This is the most calmest chase ever
It's just because there's no musical score playing over the scene.
Or shaky cam, deafening sound effects, and salad-shooter editing.
i love those american V8, no question about it. but in my opinion the car chase withe the bmw 5er and the peugot in ronin is much cooler. what do you think about it?
That crash SERIOUSLY LOWERED the resale value of that Charger!
Frs & i enjoyed it wtf 🤣🤣
The late 60s ain't no joke
Both cars are 1968s brand new off the showroom floor when this movie was made
Its like racing
A piece of me died when those two beauts crashing each other.
I know it's painful to watch but back then those cars were very common.
Also, they wreck a PRISTINE bike earlier in the film. So sad
Sad.
Very, very sad.
Dreamcatcher H, the crash aspects were actually just stunt cars that were prepared just for such scenes. The non-crash scenes were different cars that survived after filming was completed. January 2021, the survivor Mustang sold, at Mecum auction in FL, for $3.47 million and was in near same condition after the filming was finished. It was also a daily driver for several years before it was stored away. The 440 SRT Charger survivor was sold to a guy in AZ. He repaired some damage and repainted the car beige. Stupid thing to do because doing that killed the car's historical value. As I recall, it only brought $30k when it was re-sold.
Normies: “I love how there’s no music!” Intellectuals: “Oh there’s music alright🤤”
Especially the car sounds
The power of the V8 🙌
And those tire screeches 😍
Lil Rascal I hear a symphony!
Lil Rascal you ruined the joke by adding the emoji
The mustang and the and the charger are pure beasts
Were*
@@rajat1960 Why were?
Rajat Nayak they still are!
Though we were enemies, I can agree with you there. I do prefer the Charger in this scenario, though.
@@matthewclouthier4691 Most especially if they're vintage cars
The bit at 1:48---maneuvering the Charger between a guardrail and a truck at high speed--really shows how outstanding a stunt driver Bill Hickman was. Then again, he drove the Pontiac in 'The French Connection' (1971) and drove a car and coordinated the entire chase scene in 'The Seven-Ups' (1973) so, yeah, he's pretty much the greatest stunt driver of all time.
TM Rezzek N how Great Phillip D Antoni for making all 3 films, n I can't leave out Peter Yates
Just saw the Seven ups and that was an outstanding car chase.
Forget the cars. These drivers are drivers ,,,not actors. Unless you're talking McQueen.
Retro Lover And who could forget Remy Julienne’s work with the minis in the original ‘The Italian Job’.
The Seven-Ups fantastic chasing scene
Still one of the best movie car chases ever. No in-your-face music, no ridiculous jumps and stunts, no yelling, no rapid-fire editing, no shaky-cam, no CGI (naturally) - just raw vehicular action.
We dont need music we just need a lovely 68 charger and 68 mustangs sound❤
The key aspect of this chase scene that makes it unique: It’s filmed at full speed. Steve McQueen’s Mustang and the black Charger are really driving fast; it’s not a sped-up film. And of course 2 iconic badass muscle cars.
Yes siree 👍
The sound for the stang came from a recording of a GT 40.
There are sped up bit in the city earlier.
whoa that's badass.
I read that the director only called for speeds up to 85MPH. To make it even more realistic, the drivers chose to drive up to 115MPH.
I love the sounds, beautiful engines
MilkyWhite Official The engine sounds were dubbed in. What you thought was the mustang was actually a GT40. As for the Charger maybe the real deal? Mine sounds pretty close.
I don't understand the double clutching.
@@u2mister17 And like 27 gears.....
@@pineyLt The Charger sound was real, but not the Mustang.
I still remember seeing this as a kid and feeling that roller coaster stomach. Best ever chase scene!!
Now that was a real Charger, not the four door eyesore we have now.
The new Chargers are faster than the old ones but not as pretty.
Well would you rather have it turned into a crossover or what?
@@daylineli Stupid reply
I prefer the old Chargers better. The 70s my favorite.
@@FCA1975 he does have a point atleast its not a SUV or a pick up
I don't know how many times I've seen this car chase, it never gets old
Hands down 100% best driving scenes ever no special effects cars flying blowing up just Raw Talent.... rest in peace Steve McQueen.....
No special effects? What, you think someone actually fired a shotgun at Steve McQueen? You think some stung guy actually drove a car into a petrol station, causing it to explode and him to die? This scene is full of special effects.
Just hearing the engines is way better than a musical score in this scene lol
They actually wanted the composer to make music for this scene. He wisely told the director he thought the raw sounds of the cars were more powerful than any music that could be scored to the chase.
@@revokdaryl1 engines, shifting and exhaust sounds were from Ford GT 40
I watched this movie again just last night and it’s just as good as I remembered it to be, R.I.P Steve McQueen
That car must have had a 13 speed transmission as many times as he shifted it.
ricefarmer1979 ye it does look unrealistic but maybe so many shifts because of downshifting etc
Double-clutching.
I always understood that both of those cars had automatic transmissions. It sounds like every time Steve McQueen shifts he has to double clutch the Mustang. WTF?
Fastback trasmission is actually automatic
He liked the sound
*My parents had those cars (at the same time) when I was a child. My father had the Charger & my mother the Mustang. My Mother's 1968 Mustang Fastback was given to me when I received my license.* *That thing was a tank!*
YVONNE MENDEZ FIRST TEAM REAL ESTATE - CORONA CA my dad had one literally the same color everything. Wanted to drive it so bad sold it
Damn,must be a dream A 67 mustang in my country costs $50k
damn man you are lucky
Dang, that's crazy!
It was fun to drive but it didn't have air conditioning!!
This is what got me into cars. I’m a mechanic and car collector because I saw this scene when I was 8 years old and went crazy for cool cars ever since. You can stick your hybrids and electrics and anything with an automatic transmission up your keister.
That generation had the vision, creativity, and talent to create a movie still being watched 5 decades later.. Iconic..
Never did i think would i see an old school movie with the same road i drive everyday to work . This is amazing !
I saw that 50 years ago when it was released. It remains as fascinating !...
Kid: Mommy, how did Grammy and Grandpa die? Mom: Well, they were driving through Cali and pulled of the highway to get some gas and....
Crazy how 52 years later both these cars are still being made in a new form.
I’m a simple man. I see Steve McQueen, I like.
This scene and the old Gone in 60 Seconds car chase scene were the best.
And let's not forget Vanishing Point and Blues Brothers
@@mrtom2854 Seven Ups car chase is incredible. Featuring Bill Hickman
Vanishing Point
No over the top sound effect,just a V8's bellow. Absolutely brilliant!!
The sound of that Dodge 440 should be our national anthem
Rip Steve Mcqueen
50 years ago this movie was made and it still gold
i remember watching this when i was young, this clip isn’t even the full chase scene. probably one of the longest and most entertaining car chase scenes in cinematic history
I saw Bullitt with my first love i never married her family decided i was from the wrong side of town i will never forget thanks for all the heartache
If I had a choice I would take the 68 Charger R/T ,l had a 69 Charger R/T 440 4 - speed when l came home from Nam .Awesome car!
Bill Hickman made a cool getaway driver, Paul Genge a convincing gunman and Steve McQueen was super cool as Bullitt.
One of my favorite parts about this sequence is that the bad guys speak not one word. Makes them way more Manning in my opinion.
That 390 Mustang fastback is to die for. That "scratch" he got at 0:38 was a bonus and classic.
That wasn't a stock 390 it was well warmed over I had a warmed up 390 in my 66 XL Galaxie and would scoot down the drag strip running 13s, not bad for 375 HP. In NASCAR the 66 Ford's were running 185 @ Daytona
The king of cool, great film actor, race car driver, and one of a kind. R.I.P.
The two greatest American muscle cars in history
Love when the guy opens the window before he starts shooting
Cool. Im an old geezer now but I've owned a 1966 mustang fastback since 1983 and this stuff still gets my heart rate racing!
As a Mustang owner, this is how it feels to make eye contact with a Charger owner at a stoplight…
I know the Charger was pulled on a rope and was supposed to hit the station but missed. To tell the truth, I like how it was edited. It's much better conveying the sudden violence and slam bang destruction without cheezy reaction shots.
yeah it was strange and unexpected but over all good at the same time. poor ford never got out of it so well as well.
TheArtofDHT if you look closely right after the explosion close-up, you can see the Charger behind the station flying past like a bat out of hell. they flat towed it at about 90 mph to shoot that scene.
I saw that too.
@@corvettels9 WRONG. The Charger was NOT pulled by a rope. The stunt Charger was attached to the stunt Mustang using a fabricated steel tubing set-up that had a quick-release aspect. It wasn't at 90 mph either. It was less than 50 mph.
I’ve wanted a mustang like that since ‘69. ‘68’s are my dream Shelby GT 500.
For me still one of the best action films with a legendary chase and an absolutely cool steve mc queen. ♥️it !
Dang the amount of talented needed to film this scene with no CGI.
back when american cars ruled the world
They still do. Lambo, Ferrari and other supercars can't hold a candle to Mopar
still do
Still
never in the history the American cars have regulated the world. People in the world and even in America prefer simpler and cheaper cars like the Europeans and the Japanese, or really sports cars like the Italians.
Still do
The window roll down kills me every time. You're using your Charger as a battering ram, you're shooting at a detective... but you better roll down the rear window before shooting.
They may be mob men but they can't get bad car insurance. Also, if he didn't the glass shards might come and hit them.
Steve Avery Don’t mess with my discount !
It's the glare.
So you're thinking it's better to shoot out the side window with a shotgun? Nope. Just dumb
Idk about U but I wouldnt want to get the glass in my eye
5/10??? Are you seriously? This scene are minimum 8/10, looking very good for that years, legend!
It's not rating, it's showing what number the scene is in.
They left out the best part... At the beginning when they look at each other and buckle their seat belts.
Its in parts unfortunately:/ but i agree that tension in the beginning with them burning rubber...epic
Entire comments section is gunna be Ford guys (and gals) arguing Dodge guys (and gals). Can't we just agree to disagree? 🤔 Or better still, why can't we just accept that it's two amazing cars battling it out on an American highway, surrounded by pretty Cadillacs and Chevrolets and other American classics. Honestly, car chases don't get much better than this.
CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG ?
RIP charger. 😭😭😭
YZ Master didn't have a choice it was up against the Mustang
WASTED!
HELLASgate7 wow u sound stupid
HELLASgate7 it is an actual fact that the charger had to slow down a few times during the scene so the mustang could keep up.
Grove Street Families Nah, your own fabricated fact shave your head and go to bed
one of the best classic chase scenes of all time old school
First time I ever saw this scene and I’m 54 years old. Now I understand the hype about this scene. Now I wanna see the movie.
I can buy the Mustang keeping up in the city, but when they get out on open road, there ain't no way it can hold a candle to that monster 440 living underneath the hood of that Charger. Regardless though, an awesome chase.
For it's time the best chase scene ever filmed. I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was about thirteen........blew me and my friends away.
that 2 +2 had a 390 in it. Both cars did about 14 seconds on the 1/4 mile
Also, the 'stang had Steve McQueen driving it. McQueen makes any car faster.
go look up ronnie sox if you think its bullshit.
Lonewolf McQuade the charger’s stiff r/t package helped that boat of a car handle in the streets, better than the mustang. You can tell when they hit the jumps how the mustang bottoms out while the charger doesn’t, even then the mustang didn’t even have a live rear axle.
Bullitt is one of the worlds best movies!
this is the most intense chase scene in cinema history.
U571.....my all time fave ..SAW this when at school...ahem!...still watch it today.....plus then we got others...French connection for one....classic...Mcqueen was brill.
Friend of mine drives a Tesla with the interior sound of the mustang from the Steve McQueen bullet movie ……
53 years and this is one of the best films I ever watched
People remember it for the chase but it legitimately is a great movie as a whole.
My father lives near this road and takes me home from school there. Nice to see a road I recognize and have been down in a movie. Also my uncle has a 40th anniversary Bullitt Mustang and customized it to look close to the original one from this movie.
What makes the movie even more amazing is the fact that Steve McQueen did the bulk of his own driving.
Indeed. The times he didn’t is cause the studio felt he was too aggressive to drive the scene
@@drewbaglin1632 I didn't realize it was because he as too aggressive. Steve McQueen was definitely one of a kind.
@@thepayne7862 Indeed he was. Now take what I said with a grain of salt lol. That’s what I’ve read in a couple of articles when I was researching the fastback used in this movie.
@@drewbaglin1632 Steve McQueen had a ton of race car driving experience. Some scenes, the producers wouldn't allow him to drive for fear of him possibly being injured, thus, filming the completion of the movie would not be possible.
@@sergeantmasson3669 The chase was the last thing they filmed, in case someone got hurt, per an article that interviewed the director
Bill Hickman was a truly outstanding stunt car driver, the scene where he had to drive the charger between the guardrail and the truck at the very high speed it was, really showed his great driving skills, he was a legend in stunt car driving, R.I.P Bill Hickman, Steve McQueen and Bud Atkins,..🙏🏾. The bullit car chase will always be the most memorable car chase ever, though there are some others that was just as good too, but bullit will remain the most memorable and greatest one of all. 👍🏾.
He was but Bud did the same between the guardrail and truck, the scene right at the end at 3:05 shows how Bud was even better than Bill
@@SDSen ok thanks for the extra information on that if I remember correctly bud did do a great deal of the stunt driving for Steve McQueen in the chase mostly the difficult turns and so on, which the director Peter Yates considered too dangerous for McQueen to do, again I don’t know if it’s true but I recall bud was Steve’s stunt driver in the mustang, though McQueen did most of the driving I believe that bud did the difficult turns and so on, if he did the stunt driving as the mustang drove between the guard rail and the truck at the high speeds it was going, it was seriously impressive stunt driving skills, resulting in the iconic car chase that bullit is so well known and remembered for, and it’s thanks also for the two legendary stunt drivers that made it possible, Hickman and atkins as well as the king of cool Steve McQueen, R.I.P to them all 🙏🏾, and I again thanks for your extra information on that, as I didn’t know that bud was a great stunt car driver as well a skilled motorcycle rider 👍🏾.
W MELVINA ST
It was Bud Ekins. Did he also do the motorcycle stunt in this clip?
And till this day it’s still Mustang Vs Dodge!!! 5.0 VS 392 / GT350 VS HELLCAT
2:58 RIP Dodge Charger 1968-1968
2:58 :) 3:03 *slow* *motion* wut? :(
Spoiler: they never ruined a Charger for that shot. You can see it passing behind the gas station and disappearing behind the shack, still in one piece and on its wheels.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 True 😂
To young to die.
@Mason George As a car guy and lifelong tinkerer I can confidently say: there is no such thing as " totally destroyed", there are just lazy people throwing stuff away instead of fixing it.
No nonsense, just car chase. I miss a little Mancini music tho
This is the 60s idiot appreciate classics
drew b shut your ugly ass off
The music was the engines
and evelyn stuck a knife in ur chest too?
@@alexo.3758 ?
Hah, I love how he winds the window down before he starts shooting! That's REAL car appreciation right there!!! 😉😉😉
One of the best car chase scenes ever. Back in the day of the muscle cars.
Compared to the utterly goofy F&F franchise this is refreshing. Not everything was done better back in the day but this most definitely was.
Indeed. Struggling to think of many modern films that come close. There's _Baby Driver_ and... nope. That's it. (And I'm _pretty_ sure Mr. Egort wasn't driving in the shoot. Although, if he was, more power to him.)
cry about it
the sound of the engine IS the score.
Not a single trumpet blared. Not one violin played. And yet... this is one of cinema's _greatest_ soundtracks ever made.
Australia be all like: "We need to do this too Mate!" (Mad Max)
It'd be nice if everyone could stop arguing about the cars and just enjoy the scene
the cars ARE the scene
Sheehy exactly
Exactly, we all know it’s mopar or no car
The cars MADE the scene. Certainly far better effects than putting puppets and cartoon characters in every movie!
Actually at the 68 winter nationals it was coined mopar no power hehe 😜
Rip Steve McQueen 1930-1980 you will be missed 😭
This is one of my old buddy's favorite car chase scenes and movies and his name was Gary Howell and he loves this scene and may rest in peace
The iconic car chase with two iconic cars. We need more “Mustang vs Charger” chases!!
I think this scene still holds the record for most "double clutching" sound effects. FYI: One of the original movie Mustangs was found in Nashville a year or 3 ago.
STANG WAS GETTING DOWN . MY HEART BEATS LIKE CRAZY WITH THE SHIFTING SEQUENCE 😍😍😍😍😍
The fact that these models of cars were not even 2 years old shows that the Mustang Fastback and Dodge Charger were gonna be movie legends.
One of the best car chases. Love the music of those V-8’s.
The best car chase in any film, ever made. Just do not count the number of hubcaps that are lost from the car that Steve McQueen is chasing.
didn't the charger have to slow down a few times so the Mustang could catch up
Mike Mehaljevic no... this is back when mustangs were good
Garrett W ok because I heard that from multiple people when they seen this
Mike Mehaljevic yes
Mike Mehaljevic I also heard they might have not used real shotgun shells for this movie because it's a movie
They had too cause chargers were hella fast
One of, or the best car chase scene in any movie anywhere, bar none, period! Thank you...
Clip needed to start further back. The set up at the start of this chase was brilliant.
Mustang for the shape and sound, Charger for the speed and engineering.
Doesn't get better than his. Epic is an understatement. Steve Mcqueen R.I.P.! When being this cool was in style!
The best car chase with the coolest guy to ever grace the silver screen
Just watched this film yesterday. The single BEST car chase scene in film history. 🎠
Still recognized as the chase film that set the pace. Real cars, real drivers, real speeds. BTW, that Mustang recently sold for million$
I love this movie..if you notice when the charger went off the road at the gas station,you can actually see it going behind the gas station in a cloud of dirt and dust,thanks for the video..
Put "I'll Write Your Name Through The Fire" on this clip. Perfect👌
Finally I found a video with a duel of my both favorite muscle cars.
After the charger lost 4 hub caps Bill Hickman started throwing them out the window great chase
That '68 Charger had some great handling. And I think if you count up since the beginning of the car chase, it lost 6 hub caps in total.
0:37 ahhh, that beautiful tire chirp as he shifts into the next gear
There is a reason why this is cinematic GOLD.
