  • Nice job...i'm amazed the area has not changed much.

  • Two thumbs up on that. GREAT JOB! But c'mon, you could've gotten a little more under that Civic on those driving scenes!!! You know...be a little more true to the original ; )

  • Very cool ! Nice job ! Shit, there were a lot of beetles around back then. Look in the back ground--they're everywhere.

  • LOVE IT! Good work!

  • Oh, the scene in 2:47 made me hungry for a TV dinner.

  • Good on you for going to the effort to do this. Always interesting how things always look more cool in a movie. Always interesting for somebody like me who lives on the side of the world. I so wanted that honda to burn a bit of rubber, dreaming i know...

  • Great video. I did a similar thing matching the chase scene in "My Life in San Francisco (1989), part 6".

  • thank you for this video and for your imagination!! from France!!

  • interesting on different landmarks of San Fran. both then and now.

  • Little notation with addresses might have been nice.

  • i saw 30 seconds and i was done!

  • @doriangreyxy Premature ejaculation is a common problem. Don't live in shame.

  • I do NOT LIKE Rice Rockets and Belive me Steve did NOT Like them either !!! no HONDA has Ever matched the horse power of a Full Tilt Mustang or Even a C6 Corvette !!!!

  • one word genial

  • Not a bad attempt, quite enjoyed watching it.

  • they tried to do their best it was cool if you know those streets its hilarious at the end the blowed up gas station turned into a hospital or something.. I lived there for a while it was so fun,, I had a 64and a half mustang drove the doors off of it

  • no pues si igualito

  • Good job editing and finding the locations! I grew up in the city and recognize most of these places. I even raced through Guadalupe Pkway in a 67 Mustang Fastback! Props to you for the work and for being a Bullitt fan!

  • Just keep kidding yourself. McQueen once showed up to a gala put on by the biggest names in Hollywood in a flannel shirt and jeans with a fully-grown lumberjack beard. Somehow I don't think he would be driving a Honda Civic. He might buy one just to demolish it with his Mustang.

  • Good Job!!!!! I really enjoyed that. I laughed but it was really interesting!!

  • Steve McQueen would've rather WALKED or taken the bus than drive a Honda Civic.

  • I like really big cars that get less than 15 miles per gallon. My dad's second Chrysler New Yorker was 234 inches long. That's 19.5 feet. It had a 27-gallon gas tank, too.

  • Comment removed

  • Great, aside the fuel station crash site at the end, Frisco seems to be nearly the same!

    Excellent job, if i ever come there, I'll be sightseeing the movie locations!

  • Good job!

  • ok. Check out Sharam- Fun.  has some scenes re done.

  • dude, this is amazing!!!!!! I went there and did the same thing two years ago, although not in as much detail. Well done, who cares what car you drove. What you did was epic and thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just got back from San Francisco a couple days ago and went to several of the locations while touring the city. Your video is fun and I enjoyed it.

  • regardless of the Honda Civic and crappy film quality that was pretty cool. I have been to the present day sight of the crash at the end and was suprised to see how dfferent is was from the movie.

  • Paid 3.87 for a gallon and I drive a mustang. :) Its a GT too. :P

  • A honda civic starring as a mustang fastback? wheres my time machine? the future sucks :(

  • good music

  • Hey, this is great!! , Bullitt is one of my all time favourite films, really interesting to see the locations as they are now , no major changes to the locale and amazingly the corner grocer shop where Mcqueen stocks up on his convenience food is still there, how cool. Im hoping to visit San Fran one day, doing the Bullitt location tour would be on my list of things to do, thanks for sharing your delightful little tribute its very nicely done :-)

  • Thanks for this great video. I always wanted to see how the city from this movie looks nowadays. From Prague with love :-)

  • You can't replace a mustang with a civic. Simple.

  • I must add, this video accomplished what I always wished could be done. I hit The City weekly for cruisin'. This movie has done wonders for building on the San Francisco Aura, Mystique. The soundtrack, the cars which were bigger than the movie, & Steve McQueen who was actually larger than life itself. Thanx for posting. As for the haters here, take a deaf ear to them. If the can't hate here, they'll go somewhere else. Take care.

  • I live in Oakland. I used to have a '69 moss green fastback on cragers, Mickey Thompson N50s in the rear, traction bars the works. When that got trashed, I got a Blk&Yellow '69 Mach 1. On 9/15/81 at 16 y.o. I wrecked my car, & myself with a dub of the Bullitt main theme in the cassette player. I've since sold out, & got a Vette, & a '93Mazda Mx6 6 cyl. The mazda is dark green though. 8 days ago my Vette got hit, & for 2 blocks a chase ensued. I caught him, & I owe it all to Steve.

  • In the 1968 USA were a big and fabolous country,a dream country,today in 2011 USA are a country like others 100 in the world with a lot of problems.The big cars were the symbol of prosperity, now America is a shadow of the past.

  • Does anyone out there know if Robert Vaughn and "Mr. Roper" from Three's Companies from this flick are still alive?!!! Thanks alot, whoever you are, for posting this.

  • poorly done, camera angles were so off i cant even tell if this is real or fake

  • @bikercc Does that mean i don't win an oscar? I might as well hang myself. My life is poopy!

  • @mamabearmeatball it is, let me know what newspaper to read with your obit

  • @mamabearmeatball

    You know at first I was with bikercc but then you started to connect your shots with the movie really well, some were spot-on. Especially love the ending :D Nice work!

    btw I'm the guy that made 'Boxitt', the Bullitt spoof

  • @bikercc Hey man, give this dude the credit he deserves; retracking the filming sites can be tough enough, with all the researches and all; but, unlike 1968, The CIty today is very choked with queers and dikes polluting this once beautiful city...Go and try your own "Bullitt filming" and see if you can top this!!!

  • @bikercc dont be such an ass he took his time to make a video for us to watch.

  • so cool and a great job! I'm surprised you didn't roll pass that green VW, I think it's still coasting down that one hill to this day!

  • Cool! I'm amazed there was so little traffic when you did this..

  • Get into the spirit of it you haters. It's fun and shows a great city. I've done the San Francisco tour in a '67 Porsche 911 S like McQueens (found this vid while researching some last minute details for the magazine article) and I love this little movie! Great job!

    Steve would totally drive a Civic if it was all that was in the garage. He drove a battered old pickup truck for the last years of his life. He was a gearhead, not a car snob.

  • @johndglynn yeah but 1,i doubt he would've bought the civic in the first place, 2, i'd rather drive a battered old pick up truck than a civic, 3 if he needed gasoline that bad, he could've taken some from his arm as steve had petrol flowing through his veins or he could've used a motorbike lol

  • At least you should have used a Mustang for this, hard to stomach seeing your car in those locations. :(

  • what an abomination

  • i have to say this is the biggest upset here i am expecting to see a bad ass 302 mustang and you show some bullshit about he might drive a civic O.o disappointed never make that connection ever again ...

  • @hatchetknight

    what are you talking about? Steve McQueen drove a 1968 Ford Mustang Gt-390 in the Color '' Higland Green'' not a 302 powerd mustang?

  • pontiac firebird conv. at the :39 sec mark

    

  • great work on the before and after pics btw.

  • i'm not an expert of what "essence of cool" is, but a honda civic would not be in mcqueen's catagory,.....lol

  • @ghoststang4point0 LOL! Yeah, probably not. Hey, we work with what we got.

  • @mamabearmeatball but then who am i to talk.... my first car was a 91 jetta, and i kinda miss not spending so much on gas,...cant take the stang for a road trip, i would have to stop every 20 minuets for gas. ...lol

  • i totally agree with that. Sori dear as much as gasoline is, Ford would definatley make sure if Mqueen were still playing lead and great roles as he did he had the best they had. FYI the 68 Mustang he was driving was a proto type (no emblem on the front) There's no compare as said

  • @ghoststang4point0 well at least we never see the civic,good job,great job,love the music.

  • @ghoststang4point0 If we're claiming McQueen would be caught behind the wheel of a Honda Civic, why not make it a Yugo or a SmartCar? Or one of those dorky things, electric cars, that get 30 miles to a charge? I just can't see McQueen driving anything less than a Corvette or Mustang. He'd be embarrassed at the shit being produced today.

  • he wouldn't drive a stinking honda Civic more like a mustang

  • Have this tune playing as I drive around the streets of SF, chasing a North Beach Pizza delivery car.... fun fun FUN!!! :-D

  • so nice...thank for video

  • so nice...

  • Clever juxtaposition of the images. Makes me nostalgic reflecting on the interim changes between the eras. I'm always eyeing things up in terms of today and yesteryear when I'm out and about.

    Very nice labor of love, yours is.

  • What is the white car at 0:39 ?

  • Very well done all who contributed. This is one of the more clever videos on You Tube. Thanks for taking the time. Kudos to all. The soundtrack is especially impressive, don't know how you folks did that except for one of those "old" vinyl recordings.

  • Ya I think he would be driving either an original 1968 Bullitt, '01 Bullitt or a '08 Bullitt... hell I could see him owning all three!

  • nice job and ALL

    we really enjoyed seeing these locations again that we filmed on so long ago

    thank you my friend .

  • I like San Francisco!!If i ever visit US ,the first place i'll visit will be it!!Very nice and respected film work !!Nicolas-Greece!!

  • It seems alot of the buildings had some much needs upgrades, after the 1989 earthquake.

  • LOL! They should have filmed part of the car chase down the windy bit of Lombard Street. *That* would have been an eye-popper.

  • Sorry, but McQueen was not a pussy....No way in hell would he drive that POS!

  • love your work here mamabearmeatball.

  • gay

  • @onlypresto Well, you certainly have a right to choose whatever lifestyle works for you and proclaim it with pride, friend. Just use protection, okay?

  • @mamabearmeatball lol, i didn't excpect that, good one, i was in a asswholish mood when i said that so sorry, but i'm straight, married and a father of a beautiful 4 month old boy

  • @onlypresto Ha! Thanks for taking it in good humor. Congratulations on being a new dad! My wife haven't taken that plunge yet ourselves, but maybe someday. Cheers!

  • @mamabearmeatball thanks, its always a blessing but be ready, i wasn't married till 3 days before he was born, i'm a little young to be a dad but i love it

  • @onlypresto That's awesome. Life rarely works out exactly how we would have timed it anyway. Best of luck to you and your family. Make sure that kid sees Bullitt someday. :)

  • @mamabearmeatball i will, thanks alot

  • Fascinating!  Great work!

  • If McQueen were alive today he'd be rich enough to drive whatever he wanted to. 

  • cool

  • Sorry but Mcqueen wouldnt drive an Import, Cant substitute a American Muscle for a Japanese Aluminum can

  • enjoyed the re-tour-n

  • You should do a 2010 version of this... Gas now is $3.40 a gallon. If McQueen was alive today, what would he be driving? A bicycle? :P

  • Civic sucks

  • @greyfox37 I agree.

  • Good Job. Shame You havent caught a green beetle on your way.

  • I saw Bullitt shown w/ Bonnie and Clyde ( 2 for one back then, with cartoons ) 10 times in 1968. The best detective movie ever made and the chase scene is still a classic.

  • As everyone else, mc queen wouldn't drive a civc, you could of said an S2000 CR, or NSX R, at least

  • I really dug the tour. Great shots, great editing. That being said no way in hell would Steve "The King of Cool" McQueen be caught dead driving a Civic. Serious blashphemy.

  • Great job with the tour. I live in MD and I have said I would like to travel the route and hit some of the cool locales used in the movie. One of my all time fav movies and the best car chase I have ever seen caught on film. Close second would be the Seven Ups also w/Bill Hickman. Question... Is McQueen's apartment building in the movie still an apartment/condo/office building today?

  • Well done!, thank you for this great tour from 1968 to 2005, regards.

  • someone needs to be punched in the cunt

  • great job ... only wish i could travel to San Francisco, best car chase ever

  • You can find and purchase the soundtrack on I Tune. Does anynoe have a list of the musicians on the album? Please share.

  • leave it to a woman to ruin the greatest car movie of all time

  • leave it to a woman to ruin the greatest car movie of all time

  • Today, March 24th 2010 Marks the 30th Anniversary of Steve Mqueen's death.

    ''He was simply the coolest cat there ever was''

    - Carol Shelby.

    Remembered and Loved allways. RIP.

  • He died Nov 7

  • Well done! Looks like it was a fun project :o)

  • BUT BUT AS YESTERDAY AS TODAY THEY STILL PISS N FART THE SAME NOOOOOOO HE WOULD DRIVE THE NEW GENRATION STANG OR WOULD HE???? maybe he would go back to ole skool STANG YEHHHHHH OLE FAST BACK YEHHHHH.

  • great film! here in northern europe you couldn't recognise anything after 40 years.

  • Very nice cinematic archaeology. Kudos!

  • Comment removed

  • steve mcqueen would of never driven that piece of shit...holy shit what an epic fail

  • where did you get the music?

  • Nice idea. great fun to watch :-)

  • if you knew anything about steve mcqueen, you would know he was a racer.

    it doesn't matter what the price of gas is, no self-respecting racer would ever drive that car.

  • For some reason, I don't think Steve McQueen (were he alive today) would buy into global warming & that we all must be driving a "Smart Car". He damn sure wouldn't.

  • was cool video but steve mcqueen was a petrol head, he wouldnt drive a honda ( maybe an nsx ) petrol in the uk is over £1 for a LITRE , thats like $7 per gallon, and i wouldnt drive a honda

  • Great video. Thanks for posting. You put a great deal of work into it. Congrats.

  • you should try this with a toyota camry and have the accelerator stick on those hilly streets.

  • steve mcqueen was an american, he wouldn't drive jap crap back in 1968.

  • I stoped watching the moment i saw honda and steve mcqueen in the same sentence. It doesnt matter expensive gas gets some people like stevie, myself and others that aren't boring, lame and have more ounce of character will never drive a honda or any boring POS.

  • ^ "it doesnt matter HOW expensive" & "Have more THAN an ounce"

  • Awesome

  • Great editing and the caption at 0:25 made me chuckle.

  • Ha! Thanks for getting the spirit of the short! Glad it made you laugh!

  • Gas is 3.19 for premium and I gladly fill up at the pump with my gas guzzling V8 Cutlass Supreme...that caption is pretty damn funny.

  • Very nice work - this made me smile. I say to ignore the dopey comments about the Honda -- these people obviously miss the point of your work. What were you supposed to do, get a '68 Mustang too? Excellent job.

  • Ha! Thanks, Daytonacoupe. Glad you understood the tongue in cheek spirit in which the video was done.

  • Spellbinding,you nailed it. This was and is perhaps the best movie to come out of the sixties.wish the Packard was still there,you did one helluva job.

  • only thing Steve would drive today would be a 700hp supersnake fastback.

  • Wow, I live only about an hour south of the film location but have always wondered where some of the scenes were shot. You not only found some of the roads but the whole route, good job.. I'm surprised how rural some of the areas still are today. Where is the highway between 7'45" and 8'? Is that the road up to Twin Peaks?

  • It's called Guadalupe Canyon on the South side of San Francisco. You can tour all the locations of the chase in about 4 hours. Definitely worth the trip! Much of the route looks the same today. The gas station that blew up is now an office building. I was there last year and stopped in to use the bathroom and get a Coke. Thanks for asking!

  • sympa ton montage ! mais en honda ; NON !

  • this video made me vomit a little into my mouth, steve would never own/dirve a honda, especially these days. He would be partiotic enough to give the local brands a hand using his name. I reckon a camaro or mustang, or challenger ;)

  • I like it, I live near Pinewood studios in the UK were they do the James Bond films and see areas around were I live in many old and new films.But why a bloody Honda, a Ford Pinto would have been better at least its built in the USA.

  • people need to take video for what it is..its a cool way too tour sanfran and have a lil fun doing it!...damn why is everybody hating on the vid...the hpnd thing is all in fun tongue n cheek relax people!

  • 'i meant honda  thing'

  • this video is a fucking Travesty THE GREAT STEVE MCQEEN WOULD NEVER DRIVE A FUCKING HONDA............DOUCHE

  • I still want to hoof in my TV every time I see that BASTARD Chalmers!

  • Oh what a weasel Chalmers was. He reminds me of prosecutors I've known who have really serious information they can't disclose to a judge, defense lawyer or family member of the victim but at the same time they get diarhhea of the mouth when a reporter is going to interview them for a "big story". Go figure.

  • Frank Bullit would take his own life with his service revolver before he even thought about touching a Honda

  • it is a great posting indeed!! BRAVO!!! exploring Bullet sites must have been fun. E

  • Music by Lalo Schifrin?

  • What's up with the harsh comments, I think this is kind of cool-took some work, and I love to see how places change. Detective Bullit might not have had a Honda today, unless it was a souped up Civic. I think this is cool.

  • One word desribes this  WANK. i suppose you wear a anorak all day long

  • this video ranks up there with getting a tooth pulled with no novicane very painful and hope never to go through again

  • LOL! A+, my friend!

  • another great car movie from this era is "vanishing point"

  • mcqueen would never drive a civic.

    It would need to be rwd.

  • great vid!

    its great seeing then and now scenes

    great work

  • So what is this? Just going up and down the same streets they did in the movie? Also was I the only one to notice in bullitt that the charger looses like 5 hubcaps?

  • Men where Men back then. They liked big fast cars and they liked fast women.

  • Tons of compliment to you on a job well done of tracing the "chase"; there are still plenty of '68 Mustang GTs out there; unfortunately, the only thing you cannot achieve is to remove the queers and dikes polluting the City!!!...

    You can try to take your Honda there and ramp them over, but that would not be good enough!!!

  • You sound like a cocksucker to me!

  • Very well done video and a great job on the edits and where did you find the music at ? Thank you for the inspiration for future video/film editors like me. Thank again.

  • very enjoyable video, my only comment is I doubt McQueen would even walk into a honda dealership...... although I know you were just joking Great video non the less

  • lack of torque in little Hondas, that's why aren't capable to smoke tires like Bullitt's Mustang GT390. I don't think McQueen would drive a 4 cylinder japanese if he were alive today. Anyway, the video it's well done

  • someone should really redo this with one of the new bullit Mustangs

  • oh yeah, can you tell me what all the music is??

  • You can actually buy the soundtrack on Amazon or Itunes. That's how I acquired it for the video.

  • You bunch of dorks.....

    Thats a great "Home" video, well shot and well interlaced with the original footage.

    I stumbled across this accidentally.

    And to get the original soundtrack songs is fab.

    I got a 68 390 GT Fastback over here in England and always wondered what the places look like now where the film was shot originally.

    Well done you guys.

    From all the Bullitt lovers over here

    Cheers

  • Thank you, friend. Yes, it actually wasn't planned ahead of time or the production value would have been better. I was up there and thought, "Hey, as long as we're up here..."

  • Whomever thinks McQueen would have drove a Civic is a Freakin' dreamin Loon Dumbass!

    McQueen was all about speed, horsepower and Performance.

  • when you made the video you should have at least rented a late model mustang

  • Cool retracing of the location shots. Well done. But... McQueen wouldn't have driven a Honda. No way.

  • McQueen wouldnt be caught dead in one of those cars. (pardon the pun,really)He could afford to pay for the mileage that Mustang used.

  • I pay 2.60 a gallon and drive a 78 Trans am love it gets 9 to the gallon but ya gotta love a classic

  • I like the music too!

  • thanks for the amazing music...

  • 2.69 a gallon?I pay 1.33 euros a Lt and still drive my beautiful 77 camaro hear in Portugal. If the man were alive, even i would fill the tank, just to ride with him in the streets of Frisco in the stang. Oh ... sink the honda in the bay.

  • v r short f 4 cylinder!

  • haha did you guys notice the same fire chicken appearing 3 times?

  • Taken in the spirit of tribute from San Francisco which sort of transformed itself from the city of love to the city of queens since 1968 it sort of fits that a Honda doubles for a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390. I'm sure McQueen would pay the gas bill and drive the legend if he were still alive.

  • thats so shit its painful on the eyes, a horrible bit of whatever you'd call that...

  • oh give it a rest. Geez, they're not after am Emmy or anything.. it's a location tour. Of course you'd do so much better. No, he probably wouldn't have,but some folks make do with they have. Considering that Stirling Moss drove a very small metro type car.. a German ex 5x world champion F1 driver has a 4 door Fiat.. McQueen would of probably been supportive for someone trying to be creative instead of running them down.

  • this is an insult to Mcqueen

  • McQueen would not even take a crap on a Honda!

  • Two things. One: Steve McQueen would never drive anything less than a hot sports car. Two: he would never buy a foreign car (unless it were a german motorcycle and he needed to jump a fence)

  • Steve McQueen owned at least two foreign cars, a 1963 Fearrai 250GT Lusso and a 1957 Jaguar XKSS. He didn't buy the Ferrari,though, it was given to him by his first wife, Neile Adams.
