@@cliffcosynerflight5253 I'll bet there are people who can't tell the difference between an old Beetle and a 'new' Beetle. They were great little cars. I purchased a used one back in the 1970s just before my late wife and I took our kids to see 'Herbie, the Love Bug' at the local drive in theater.
@@OneArmCarGuyBack when they were filming this chase for the film, they had to reshoot several scenes of the chase because Bill Hickman would leave the Mustang in the dust in the Charger R/T. It was just so much more powerful. The Mustang was far more nimble in the corners though.
I asked my mother the other day what it was like in her generation she said we had the best cars they lasted a long time We had the best era because we created it the way we wanted it and we had a lot of compassion love and freedom for everything. We loved one another. ❤️❤️
Classic cars were generally far less reliable than modern cars. As for the love people comment, again, that applies more to today than the 60s. Lots of wack jobs back in the 60s wouldn't even let my gay friend marry another adult for literally no reason.
Classic cars lasted longer and are more rigid and far less disposable than today's cars. And the ppl were far more sensible, caring common sense than today's society. I've noticed this growing up in the 70 & 80s. Today's generation is so traumatized by what gender they are. You can't even walk outside the comfort of your own home without offending anyone.
@@terryschnereger8531 Everything you just said was incorrect. The average lifespan of a new car in the 60s was less than 7 years on average. Meaning on average, you'd buy a brand new car, and it would be in a junkyard less than 7 years later. That's a statistical averaging tracking the average age of cars on the road. By comparison, 7 years is nothing for a modern car. As for the comment on society being more compassionate, tell those people you're gay, or that you had depression, and watch them turn on you fast.
@@terryschnereger8531 Modern generations just want to have the freedom to live their lives. Being gay isn't a choice, basically every gay person will tell you that.

@@melvyncox3361: When Steve missed the turn and then had to back up quickly , he made the tires "chirp and smoke" before resuming the chase !! Best car chase ever !! Was a tall condo built on the site of the exploded gas station ????
They already had their seatbelts on, that's why. Back then, seatbelts were not required by law, so it was kinda the "only when you really need them" mentality. They also dropped the scene of the passenger in the Challenger getting his gun out.
When I first saw this movie in the theatre I did not know but had the feeling of what struck me as so very important. That important part was when the driver of the 1968 charger looked at the passenger then clicked his seat belt. It's like seeing a gun shoot out and just before you see the thumb pull back the hammer.
Was expecting a modern Bullitt mustang as well as the dodge, that would have been cool, but a classic mustang is always better anyways! Nice surprise 😃
DAMN!!! That was nice! Not as good as the original (and didn't expect it to be) but still, the sound of the V-8 engines is music to this old man's ears.
@@SHAWNGAMINGHD They sold about 200,000 of that 2nd gen body style Charger from '68-'70. You can find them listed all over the place, these guys were just lazy.
I closed my eyes as i go back to 1968...... i was 11 years old along with other neighborhood kids went to see Bullitt.......the famous car chase 😊.....im 67 now that my eyes are open.......great memories
Steve McQueen and his 1968 mustang 390 gt was a perfect marriage of man and a cool ride .... Long may steve McQueen be forever the king of cool respect to chad McQueen aswell 👍😁
As I was a young men - I saw Bullit - I could not afford to buy Mustang my own: but it created an affection! Today, I have one. Not the legendary 390 but 2019 model with manual gearbox. This is a great re creation....

MCQUEEN Was EXCELLENT Races Driver in his La man races carier. Also very charming Actor and also good men !!! Again FANTASTIC
Steve’s legend lives on…. Especially in his sincere generosity with the boys orphanage he lived at as a youth. He always visited it after becoming famous../ a true amazing man.. rip Steve
Steve nailed it in 1968...just like he did in LeMans. They really went high speed and pushed the cars to their breaking point. These guys didn't want to hurt the cars and it showed. Richard wants to get as much money as possible when he sells them.
A few years ago , in Slator mo. They had Steve McQueen days , and there was loads of people and cars , and one car club had pictures of all the streets where they ran and they took there own cars and ran the streets early in the moring. With jumps and a real charger. Pretty cool. I don't think they have the festival any more, it's a shame what covid did, it was just cause he lived there on his uncles farm when he ended taming as a teenager.
Awesome recreation! But, as someone else mentioned, this missed the absolute #1 cue which signified the beginning of the Chase, which was the buckling of the 1960's lap belt in the Charger. Might have added a bit of humor to buckle the three-point harness instead, or splice in an actual lap belt buckle🤷. Also, i was waiting for the Mustang reversing uncontrolled wheel hop at 6:39 and was dissapointed that that piece was shortened with no wheel hop. I grew up in that era, and those Mustangs without Traction Bars were notorious for wheel hop under uncontrolled acceleration. The smoky burnout by the escaping Charger exceeded the excitement of the original. And my hair stood on end with the absolutely perfect timing of the Mustang showing up in the Charger's rear view mirror.
Wonder how that would have worked out with a 68 Charger and both with bias ply tires. It’s nice to redream the “good ol days” but oh how we cherry pick the good parts.
I don't know what inspired you to do it; but that was neat Richard. I even liked the additional under-car B-roll shots. May be production's your bag man. Definitely some fun S ain't it bro ?
My dad was a Stillman on set and watched the whole chase ... But my dad was actually a block over filming "Eye of the Cat" with Michael Sarrazin who was a good friend of my dad... Steve actually wanted my dad to do the still work on Bullitt but was already scheduled to do the one he was on... In fact everyone took a break from filming Eye of the Cat to go over and watch... When my dad got there Steve asked if he could just shoot it anyways... But that was against union rules...lolol And my dad also was part of the Cameraman's Local Union heads... So it wasn't going to fly...lolol Steve also wanted my dad to do "LeMans" but again Steve was too late again asking my dad because he was already scheduled for another picture... I met Steve a couple of times and he was really nice to me and of course...very very cool 😎...lolol
If classic Charger prices weren't through the roof currently, it would be an old Charger. They were thrashed around and beaten to hell back in the 70s and 80s, not to mention the awful rust issues those cars were prone to. It's a shame that they weren't made very well. But I do agree, it's not the same.
Why does everyone say this is the greatest car chase seen in history when every fast and furious car seen is way better and gone in 60 seconds as well?
Good thing they had a good police presence to protect all their camera equipment. “If there is going to be trouble on the set”, it will be provided by the locals.
Im glad that they still used a Dodge product (Challenger) in the chase scene....but to make it look really special...i wish they could've got a real 1968 Charger to reenact the chase scene along with the McQueen Mustang.
The best part of this video is the zoom close up in the rear view in the challenger. The rest? Probably fun to film, but having the modern Challenger vs a Charger is kind of weird. And the seriousness of the Challenger driver putting his seat belt on is sorely missed in this.
Richard, you have always succeeding in entertaining us in the car world. Your next mission, should you choose to accept, will be building and renting cars for the movie industry and/or making movies. I will write the script, OK? We need more movies like American graffiti, and, two-lane blacktop.
Hey? The Mustang's brake lines didn't shoot out brake fluid from the underside brake lines from under the car on one of the jumps?! Eh. Close enough though. LOL
@@sixstanger00 A Mustang still looks like a Mustang. A Challenger still looks like a Challenger. A new Charger looks more like a Tesla Model S than a real Charger.
They should've either used the newer 2018 Bullitt special edition Mustang to chase the modern Challenger, or used a classic Charger which gets chased by the classic Mustang.

that green beetle "when will these dang kids every learn"
You left one vital piece out of the chase . The 6 hubcaps the Charger lost 😂

I always liked it when the charger driver buckled his seatbelt before burning down the tires. Gave a great “it’s on!” moment to the original.
I went to the theater to watch this movie. When the chase scene came on I stayed to watch it again.
Darn, saw it double dating at the drive in. Buddy had dad's car, 65 impala 350. Pretty exciting drive home.
