Labor Day Flashback: The Making of Bullitt

Making of Bullitt

Bullitt was a man's car movie, the kind made without all those fancy CGI effects and fake computer wizardry. The chase scene, featuring Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang going up against a black 1968 Charger R/T 440 Magnum, is still one of the best of all time.

And that very chase was real, with the cars topping 100 mph on the hilly streets of San Francisco. A groups of some of the best stunt drivers around teamed up to make one seriously epic scene.

Check out this ten minute video to see how Bullitt was made, and another bonus video showing the chase scene in it's entirety.
