This movie is known for its big car chase scene. Steve McQueen chases down a couple of hoods in his Gone in 60 Secondsesque Shelby Mustang. The chase doesn’t stack up that well to modern standards, but I enjoyed watching the cars fly around corners and the sounds of the engines. And how cool is Steve McQueen?! Who knew that black turtlenecks could look tough on a guy? In addition to the above mentioned qualities, this movie also features a somewhat clever cops and robbers plot. The overall honest cop and sleezy politicians angle is a bit tired, but they didn’t spend a lot of time on it. There is also a somewhat goofy scene where Bullit’s girlfriend gets mad at him for being desensitized by his violent lifestyle.
