i remember like it was just yesterday: when i was 16, my brother and i had a friend over. we were playing on the playstation when all of the sudden, my dad yelled, "hey guys, come and take a look at this, i think you'll like it!" so, we put the controllers down and got up to see what dad was talking about. there was a cool looking guy in a mustang trailing a guy with glasses and a bald guy. i noticed they were in san francisco, so we sat down. suddenly, the guy with glasses buckled up, and i turned my head to dad with excitement. he nodded and smiled and i then glued my eyes to the TV. once the black car took off, the engine roaring, my jaw dropped. i looked at my brother and my friend, who had the same face. A CAR CHASE IN SAN FRANCISCO!! YE-HAAA! so, we watched it, and oh my god, it was FANTASTIC. a year later, i watched the whole movie. this is a very good crime drama with some nice touches of noir elements in it. steve mcqueen is one of my favorite actors from the 60's, and he does a great job with the acting. the story is very good, involving the murder of Bullitt's buddies. and, if you didn't know, mcqueen did drive in a lot of those scenes in the car chase. the director wanted to get close-ups of his face, something that was very popular in the 60's. overall, you must see this movie, you'll jump for joy once you hear the RRRRRRRRRRR. hehe
