Title: Bullitt chase
Post by: gasman826 on 2017-03-28 07:56
The Bullitt chase scene is the favorite of many.  Watch and count the parked vintage vehicles.  How many '57 wagons?

What's great about this chase and others from years ago is there is no CGI, it's all real cars, real drivers hitting real guardrails.

I counted three different 57 wagons.

Well... It looks like I will have to look at it again until I get it right.   I only counted 2 of them. It's the coolest chase scene that I have ever seen.    .

I remember watching the movie for the first time.  I was so disappointed at the end of the chase scene when the Mustang was disabled.  The movie was over.  It was like the lead character had died.

   Now my count is up to three 57 Ford wagons one 58 wagon and one 59 wagon.  That's subject to change.   I couldn't even count how many hubcaps the Charger lost.   The Mustang certainly held the road a lot better than the Charger.

   Now that was interesting. That old Charger lost 3 wheel discs and still had 3 on??? It lost a couple more when it went off the road. But then who was looking at the Charger?
