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 ; )
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...
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 !!!!
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
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.
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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 :-)
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.
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!!!
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
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 ...
@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 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.
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 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.
@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. :)
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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?
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!!!
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
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..."
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.
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, this is pathetic. like McQueen would've driven that piece of shit Honda. This is insulting to his legacy and he would've murdered them if he was still alive
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.
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.
Nice job...i'm amazed the area has not changed much.

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

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.

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.

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?
AggregateDood 2 years ago
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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

laxer27 2 years ago
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

You can actually buy the soundtrack on Amazon or Itunes. That's how I acquired it for the video.
mamabearmeatball 2 years ago
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

The video is crap because it doesn't show much of the good stuff Mc Queen did.
1950leaper 2 years ago
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.

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.

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.
