Bullitt: Take a Drive with Steve McQueen

[3113]

Something very geeky (incredibly geeky) for movie fans. Bullitt is a movie famous for Steve McQueen's chase scene through the steep up-and-down streets of San Francisco.

Now you can drive with Steve and follow his route at the same time. Isn't it nice to live in a world where people have time to waste creating something like this?

I agree, that is uber geeky.

 

[DesertPirate]

Damn, that was fun!

It wouldn't for me the first time either, but a reload helped. Any luck?

He was the guy who defeated The blob. Although he was calling himself "Steven McQueen" at the time.

Ans some people think we just discuss pornography here.

It worked the second time, thanks 3.

I haven't seen that for years, I still gets the blood pumping.

Geek note: If you look closely, when the Charger crashes into the gas station the station explodes seconds before the car actually hits. The Charger was towed behind the Mustang and released to crash, however the charges were set off prematurely. Hardly anyone notices, but it's more visible in slo-mo.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Cool.

Would like to see the same thing done for Gene Hackman and "The French Connection", though...
