One of my favorite movies. I'm just of world news. Extended lunch and it came on. Excellent movie. They wasted like 8 Mustangs.

I’m just sick of world news.

First thing that comes to mind is the green ‘68 Mustang. I’ve had three Mustangs so far. Second thought, Steve McQueen.was a really cool guy, on screen in Wanted Dead or Alive, offscreen rearing cArs. Has an interesting life story.

I do believe Bullitt was the inspiration for the Dirty Harry flicks.

Then there’s the video of him dancing at the WH with the daughter of LBJ.

Mr. Roper and Robert Duvall are in it.

The fastest car in Bullitt was:

1. The Charger
2. The Mustang
3. The Green VW Beetle

(Hint: It’s #3)

Watch the car chase again and you’ll see!

I miss the old days of drunken FReeper posts.
I’ve got to remember to do this more often too.
You rock.
Yes, great movie!

[waterhill]

I can believe it.

Always wondered if Steve and Clint hung out...

How many charger hub caps? 😂👍

[waterhill]

That’s just mean

[waterhill]

I counted 3!

That Mustang can eat some Charger dust. 😁

Next time you watch this movie count the number of times the green (I think) VW bug appears and the weather changes.

You beat me to it. Lalo is great. Just recently I read that they were editing the movie and got to a he famous car chase scene and were asking him what kind of music he would add there. He said absolutely none it’s perfect the way it is. That’s why you have 11 minutes of engines roaring in what people call the best movie car chase ever. Lalo was a genius

Pretty bad editing but great pic anyway. Remake using EV stang and charger? Uh, nope!

There is one Mustang jump, going downhill, where they bottomed so hard that the oil pan was ripped open. You can watch it happen.

It's the one where the shot was looking up hill, and the Charger was turning left at the bottom of the scene.

Love it!

Prettiest Steve McQueen First Lady?

Jacqueline Bisset, Ali McGraw or Faye Dunaway?

The dirty, Harry movies were based on a book written by Harry and Julian Fink
