Amazon.com: 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. Bullitt 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 (Breaking Away) 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. --Jeff Shannon

One of the greatest of the hard-boiled police detectives with perhaps the greatest car chase scenes in movie history.

Bullitt (Peter Yates, 1968)
Forty years after its release, Bullitt is remembered as having the best car chase in film history, running almost ten minutes and setting the stage for many of the car chases (and parodies, such as the wonderful remote-control car chase in The Dead Pool) that have followed it in action movies. Much of the reason the car chase is so well remembered, it seems to me, is that much of the rest of the movie is instantly forgettable; plot holes large enough to drive a Mustang through, some characters who should have been left out of the script altogether, a meandering storyline that tries its hardest not to go anywhere, the whole nine yards. But man, what a car chase.
The story: a mob informant is shot while Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen) is supposed to be guarding him. Bullitt wants revenge. In order to get it, he needs to make sure the guy stays alive, because slimy ... Read More
