Bullitt, Then and Now

Bullitt revisted, The best chase scene that was ever filmed was filmed in San Francisco in 1968. The route that was taken is documented in this short remake. The streets are still there but buildings have been remodeled and city views have changed. See if you can spot any changes over the last 43 years. I tried to film from the point of view from Bullitt's Car. There are some frames that don't line up, but this was filmed with one camera 43 years later. Enjoy.
Bullitt is a 1968 American thriller film starring Steve McQueen, Jacqueline Bisset, and Robert Vaughn. It was directed by Peter Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. The story was adapted for the screen by Alan Trustman and Harry Kleiner, based on the novel titled Mute Witness (1963) by Robert L. Fish (aka Robert L. Pike). Lalo Schifrin wrote the original jazz inspired score, arranged for brass and percussion.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing (Frank P. Keller) and was nominated for Best Sound. Writers Trustman and Kleiner won a 1969 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.

Bullitt is probably best-remembered for its car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, regarded as one of the most influential car chase sequences in movie history.[2][3][4][5] The scene had Bullitt in a dark "Highland Green" 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 CID Fastback, chasing two hit-men in a "Jewel Black" 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum. Robert Duvall has a small part as a cab driver who ferries McQueen around just before the chase scene.

In 2007, Bullitt was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[6]

In 2008 Ford produced the Mustang Bullit model for the 40th anniversary of the film. The Bullit nameplate on the steering wheel honored the movie that made the Mustang one of the most popular cars of the 1960's and 70's. The green color was also brought back for the anniversary edition.

Too bad you didn't have a friend who owned a green Volkswagen Beetle to constantly drive into your shots. :)

In all seriousness, it's a treat to see how the city has changed since 1968! 43 years sure makes a difference!

Cool job! Realised a boy's dream yesterday, driving a Mustang in San Francisco (bullitt revisited style). Wish I could have seen your video before... Would have helped planning the route :)
