Bullitt Locations in San Francisco
When  Bullitt hit the theaters in 1968, the movie's high-octane car chase on the steep hills of San Francisco set a new standard for chase scenes. One fan decided to honor the film by taking screen shots of the locations as they appeared in 1968, then photographing the locations 31 years later in 1999 and again in the summer of 2002. He's compiled the photos here, creating a site that recaps the movie while showcasing an ever-changing city. Check out the different colors of Frank Bullitt's apartment at 1153 Taylor Street -- blue in 1968, beige in 1999, and a tasteful gray in 2002. The famous car chase covers the entire city, with little regard for actual streets and locations. In some scenes, Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang can be found in one neighborhood, make a right turn, and magically jump to the other side of town. Although Hollywood's navigation skills are questionable, the movie and this site prove plenty entertaining. (in Movies & Film) |
