Bullitt has one big thing going for it and that was that all the scenes were shot as shown and no computer enhancement. San Francisco let them shut down that street for one run only, so they had 7 cameras at different points and that is why it looks as if it takes forever to get down the hill. The Volkswagen drove through a barricade and was not supposed to be in the movie, but they didn't have the abilities they have now to take things out and add stuff. It actually set the standard for chase scenes. And the Mustang was used because the engineers told them the Fairlane they had originally planned to use would break into on those jumps across the intersections. I kind of liked the Fast and Furious. Some good driving in that movie too.
