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

Bullit June 11, 2008 Got it for my man, he loved it. He's watched it twice already and he's only had it for a week.
Faster than a Speeding Bullet June 9, 2008 Fete of Death "Bullitt," one of the best crime thrillers ever filmed, also has one of the best--if not the best--car chase scenes ever shot. Cineastes refer to it simply as "The Chase." No other words required. Who can forget the immortal breathtaking dual between the killers' black-on-black Dodge Charger and Lt. Frank Bullitt's 1968 Mustang GT 390 as they roar up and down the steep hills of San Francisco? McQueen's Highland Green Mustang literally flies over the hills and, let's face it, puts the Charger to shame.
Not only that, "Bullitt" is a taut cop thriller well directed by Peter Yates with a fascinating police procedural script and a pulsing, jazzy score by Lalo Schifrin.
And don't forget the King of Cool himself Steve McQueen. I would go out on a limb and say "Bullitt" is his best movie. Certainly, it has his best role. Too, Robert Vaughn's performance as a smarmy and slick district attorney is dead on.
Like McQueen's stripped-down, hopped-up Mustang GT 390, the lean, mean "Bullitt" hits on all eight cylinders.
Banded in WS May 24, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The movie was great. My only complaint was that no matter what I did to the setting on my TV or DVD player, I got the dreaded black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. This was a big disappointment for me. I bought the WS version because I have a WS TV.
A Disappointed Steve McQueen fan
Bullitt: Where the Car Chase was Created! May 1, 2008 Bullitt, is a movie that was released in 68, its a detective story, where Det. Frank Bullitt is looking for the murderers of a witness. Although the movie has its good moments of sleuthing and grittiness what makes this movie is its 7 min. car chase. What makes this car chase the ultimate car chase is that Steve McQueen is the actual driver of the 1968 Mustang from start of the chase to end of it. All through out the chase the cars are driving at actual speeds through San Francisco, unlike many movies since even today where they simply speed the film up to give the illusion of driving fast. Again this is a solid detective movie but what sells this movie is that chase!!
movie April 28, 2008 I forgot this movie....it is real tame compared to todays special effects....it's good to see Steve again though
