Editorial Reviews and
DVD Information about
Bullitt
Amazon.com essential video
San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (Breaking Away) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews for
Bullitt
Brilliant!.
Steve McQueen (The Great Escape) stars as detective Frank Bullitt, a man assigned to protect Pete Ross who is due in court in a few days. But Ross is killed and now Bullitt has to track down the murderer and unravel the case, A local politician (Robery Vaughn) acts as the token bureaucrat standing in the way of getting things done. Bullitt is a slick and exciting typical crime drama with great visuals and has perhaps one of the best car chase scenes of all time, the most famous car chase scene in cinematic history with great direction to match. The film was shot in San Fransisco and uses alot of great locations and the acting from the cast was top notch especially from McQueen who is second to none as the intelligent and sophisticated detective Frank Bullitt and this performance by the talented actor brings the plot to life with exquisite timing, he was definitely one of the coolest actors ever. The story is not that complicated but is rather effective as a gritty cop thriller from the 60's. Peter Yates directs the set pieces superbly, from the great car chase (often imitated but never bettered) to the Airport showdown with McQueen his coolest best. Jacqueline Bisset also plays Bullitts girlfriend who is caught between her love for him and hatred of his job. Now over 35 years old, Bullitt still remains to be a classic. The film is restored in widescreen and with renewed picture clarity and has a good selection of extras to make this one an awesome addition to your collection especially if you're a Steve McQueen fan.

only one steve mcqueen
Product quality was good. Story line a bit thin with predictable antagonists. Seem to remember a very weak and unsatisfying ending. The car chase may have been hot in its day, but it seems really ordinary by today's standards. You have to love Steve McQueen though. He even looks good in dorky pajamas.Bullitt
