The Best High-Speed Car Chase Scene of All Time

Bullitt2

I love muscle cars from the 60's. I love high-speed car chase scenes. I love Steve McQueen. Therefore, I love the movie Bullitt. I took a black and white photo off the idiot box while watching the Bullitt car chase scene for the 100th time and then downloaded it and painted over the top just for kicks. I also used this image for a post while guest blogging over at The Film Experience blog.

Those are some great faces.
Someday I'll drive through the Marina just like that. Hello, Safeway! Goodbye, Safeway!

You are absolutely correct..that is one of the greatest car chase scenes of all time...the driver actor and 'shot gun' actor were also perfect...

they don't make 'em like that anymore!!!

Those two were the coldest, baddest contract men ever. Well, until they disintegrated in a huge explosive ball of flame.

Worth noting is that Bullitt changed movie violence from discomforting to stomach turning. We went to the local premiere and several patrons departed at the end without their recent suppers. (Note, they stayed for the movie though. )

Also, the habit of counting hubcaps started with Bullitt.

Blatant suck-up but true, thanks for all your stuff, it tickles nice.

This was a good one indeed. Seen it a few times myself

Love it, but why does the driver look like Alec Baldwin to me?

Yep, muscle cars and car chases do a lot to make life cooler. How do you rate the chase in 'Deathproof'?

McQueen rules! Anyone who thinks different needs to get popped in the mouth! I need to watch Bullitt again, let's have a GotA Movie Party!

I feel so honored that I've now actually watched this scene with you in person. I ROCK!

While the Bullit chase is great... nothing can touch the 2 feature chase scenes in Ronin. In my opinion, THAT movie is the pinnacle of Hollywood chase scenes.

I agree whole heartedly with everything you said... chase scenes, 60's muscle cars, and that fabulous Steve McQueen.

wow, this is so cool! I love the way the colors pulse from red to yellow to green. Sort of the way you might remember it in your head when you look bad on the event as a whole.

Great chase indeed. Second best has to be the one from Ronin.
