Bullitt locations then and now

Some things never change, but some do.

Wow. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

I've seen current pictures of the areas where the chase scene took place, but this is a whole new level.

Pretty cool bit of film making... until the end. I get the humor but McQueen (Bullitt) would not just close the door and walk away.

The best chase, and the best "now and then"

Surprising to see some of the same building still there, very cool, and it really confirms the decline of California.

We went to SFO last year and checked out some of the filming locations, including Frank Bullitt's apartment at Clay and Taylor Streets.

Plus, the little market across the street where he buys the frozen "TV dinners".

Amazing that the market still survived. Must've felt a bit eerie there. The only thing separating you from the film being time only.

Very Cool Video. Someone went to great lengths to get the locations in perfect sync.

BTW, how many hubcaps did the Charger lose

[deathsled]

Many hubcaps.  But I turn a blind eye to it.  Same for that green VW bug (Kaefer as the Germans call it.)  Wish they could have perfected to continuity a little better.  It would not have been that hard to take account of it.  But time constraints I suppose and editing issues.  Still the best chase of all time setting the bench mark for all others.

What's really intriguing to me about the chase scenes?  The shots where the Charger and Mustang CLEARLY crash into something while facing the camera...yet, the scene continues.

The show must go on!

Ha!  I did the same thing in 2007....the house, the market, where he parked his car.

I tried it with some of the Clint Eastwood movies too.

Thats pretty cool.  And time consuming. 

Has anyone done a google map, or directions so you can follow the chase route with current navigation?

Definitely cool and fun to do.  A friend of mine has a really well-done Bullitt replica (among the first, if not the first, anyone ever built) and has taken it around to many of the filming locations for magazine stories, and also used with Ford's Bullitt-edition Mustangs, for PR shoots.

Here's a recent pix with my KR.
