Man, talk about a classic. No talking, no music, no quirky one liners, no CGI, no outrageous stunts that look like they belong in a space movie, nothing like that. This almost ten-and-a-half-minute video is nothing but 2 muscle cars chasing one another through the streets of San Francisco. I love this whole scene from start to finish. I give my late father a lot of props for showing me this movie when I was a kid. By far THE most famous car chase in cinematic history.

It's funny that you mentioned this as the best car scene ever. I can tell you a true fact about this. My dad was a great sound editor and created the 1st Foley stage. When my dad and his work partner on Bullitt, the sound for the engine didn't sound right to Mr. Mc. Queen. So he picked up my dad and his co-worker Frank Makelvie to record the sound from the same 67 fastback mustang in the movie. Any Steve McQueen said he wanted to drive the same route in San Francisco as in the movie. Well my dad and Frank didn't think about it much until the got there. Mr. McQueen said to put the reel to reel sound recorder in between them in the back seat with a mic out both sides. My dad didn't realize until Steve said to put the seat belts on tight. Right then my dad said, "Oh Shitt"! Steve took off like a bat out of Hell driving as fast as it was in the movie. Thru traffic and everything. When they finished, my dad and Frank came crawling out of the car shaking. Mr. McQueen just laughed and says, "here John! This should make you gentlemen feel better !" Then he handed my dad and Frank each a case of aged scotch from Steve's private stock and $2000 bucks each. Mr. McQueen liked the sound so much he told the director to use the sound my dad made and that's what is in the movie to this day. Funny story right. You can look up my dad, God rest his soul. John Howard Post or John Howard. If you wish to hear more cool stories that my dad told me, I would be happy to share tidbits of the movies my dad and I worked on. God bless everyone

DAMN!!! I just love the sound of a V-8 engine and four barrel carbs! I miss the 1960s and '70s. No artificial intelligence can top this stuff!! I was 19 years-old when this played in theaters and it still gives me 'goose bumps' today watching it on YouTube. Nothing like seeing this on big screen theaters at the time.

Back when putting on a seatbelt meant you were about to do some serious driving.
