Bullitt is the film, the Mustang for me is the show, when you talk about Car Chase's theres only one that really stands out for me yes I Know about Ronin, The Italian Job, French Connection, Taxi ect, all had great in car moments but Steve Mcqueen in a Mustang 68'gt on the streets of San Francisco in the 60's chasing the baddies is for me complete and utter octane.
Steve Mcqueen plays Frank Bullitt who is a detective protecting a witness for a seedy trial which keeps things on edge and with the like's of some good performance's from Robert Vaughn, jaqueline Bissett ,Robert Duvall everything looks right. Bullitt did win an Oscar but sadly not for the Car chase action but for best Film Editing which brings me back to the Great Chase, if you have watched it i.e the chase scene as much as me (probably over 500 times and wearing out VHS's and DVD players) you will notice a green VW Beetle Steve passes several times. Now if that films won an Oscar for best Editing (the green VW beetle) surely theres been a mistake just look at the Action or Cinematography which should of won Oscars but only BAFTA's.
All in all this films a Classic and will forever be the best Car chase film full stop. You would have to be crazy not to have this in your DVD collection. 100/100

I actually watched this film in the cinema (although I believe it might have been called a "movie theater" where I was in the USA at the time) ~ I vaguely remember the car chase ~ and remember the airport scene at the end more vividly.
