Bullit -- On the Road Again -- Canned Heat -- Car Chase

I guess the whole thing is a reference to "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen....

And hence my reference to the car being the wrong color...

They nailed a lot of the scene in the TV show, scraping the wall, seatbelt, beetle, getting cut off etc.


Bullitt Chase

[kopfjäger]

Chase scene facts. There are many, like Steve wanted to do all his driving, but make the beast with two backsed up and they brought in a Pro.


"To achieve the stunning conclusion to the chase in which the Charger loses control, leaps an Armco fence and plows into a gasoline station, Loftin rigged up a tow and release set up hidden from the camera's view between the Mustang and the Charger. Dressed to double McQueen, Loftin laterally towed the Charger at 90 mph with its two dummy passengers and at the right moment released the Charger into the nitro-loaded gas station. Unfortunately, the Charger missed the station, but the charges were set off and the explosion, thanks to some deft film editing, had the desired effect and was added to the movie."

If you watch closely you can see the Charger miss the gas station.
