The difference is that in Bullitt the chase scene is just that, a scene.
The others are almost exclusively chase, chase, chase...
In Bullitt it isn't just the Bug that gets seen several times. Don't forget the Cadi and if you look closely people watching the action from their apartment windows.
What aboot the Newspaper box that gets taken out. Just at it gets taken out the chase goes to the next shot.
Although filmed at real speed where it loses me is at the end when Frank spins out into the ditch. That just looks sped up.
Love the movie though.
Best and most realistic chases are in the French Connection movies. Makes Bullitt a bit amateurish.

But The French Connection doesn’t have Steve McQueen…


🤪 🤣
Love the scene under the subway! (Is it still a subway if’n it’s elevated?) sorry… rural living has some drawbacks… of course lack of subway access isn’t necessarily drawback…😎

In the movie The Seven Ups the car chase wasn’t bad if you turn the sound off. With the sound on the cars all apparently had 12 speed transmissions.

I grew up in the Bronx 50s & early 60s lived one block from Jerome Av. The train tracks were called the El.or the L for Elevated train!

Duh! One of my favorite movies, While You Were Sleeping, I’m a Sandra Bullock fan…

Anyway, in the movie she worked for the “L”… never made the. connection …

Maybe it was because of Miss Bullock…

Kinda like the kid in Terminator Two… apparently he had the only two-stroke, ring-ding-ding motor Honda ever produced with overhead valves…

Passed a guy on the street in Spain recently, wearing a new shirt that read, “Steve McQueen | The Original King of Cool”.

Dude still gets respect!
