I love the way McQueen blows out the red Unity spotlight and in the next scene where he hits the roof light it is miraculously unharmed!

@etomlins4 - You DON'T see that with shotguns! Only with Steve, and, with Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch, too). Ever since I saw this movie as a child, I'll always remember this scene. Only later, did I find out that Ali knocking Steve over with the car door was a mistake, but, so "real," that it was left in the movie Maybe that's one of the things that led to Steve and Ali getting married!?? Great and realistic movie! R.I.P Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah - you're both missed!

Mistake or not, I must say, this is one of the only movies I can think of that shows a shotgun's recoil. In too many movies it's really just a "boom stick": point it at someone or something and boom it goes. Steve McQueen, though, looks like he knows how to handle it properly. And he flips it around to load it; how often do you see that?

@VinnyS914 many movies have mistakes.. I've seen lots of them like now

@zibbledy try to watch it in slowmotion: If you do so, you can see, that he doesn't let go of the shotgun. He does NOT put in on the back seat, though he is about to do it.

@codename617 The Getaway was written by Jim Thompson, an excellent pulp writer. I recommend The KIller Inside Me. No Country for Old Men was written by Cormac McCarthy, also a great writer. Probably his best book is Blood Meridian.

Never mind. THe Getaway is by a guy named Jim Thomas. my bad :(

[codename617]

@dnggitg I might be mistaken but THe Getaway and No COuntry For Old Men might've been written by the same author. I'll google it. Then i'll wikipedia it from there.

This film reminds me a lot of No Country for Old Men. You know, bloody shotgun shootouts in small-town Texas hotels, the hero being pursued by a wounded creep, etc. I wonder if Cormac McCarthy was thinking of The Getaway.
