Last February, I posted an article about car chases in movies: Car chases in movies: Bullitt, Terminator 2, Mad Max 2… I highlighted several films with memorable chase scenes, like Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Thelma & Louise, The Blues Brothers, The French Connection, Grindhouse/Death Proof, and of course, Bullitt.
Watching Steve McQueen tear through the streets of San Francisco in his Mustang GT390 is absolutely captivating. But if you paid close attention—or if you’re familiar with San Francisco’s streets—you might have noticed that the chase scene cuts from one location to another. These edits don’t disrupt the flow, but they do create a bit of movie magic to keep the chase moving.
Since I’m a big fan of Bullitt (especially that chase scene!), a friend sent me a link to a video that showed the car chase with GPS tracking. Unfortunately, that video has since been removed…
Luckily, the video below will still give you a taste of the excitement. Enjoy!
