French Connection is great and wouldn't say the car chase is even the highlight in it, Bullitt is just pretty dull overall, was a bit disappointed when I first saw it
Bullitt was one of the first modern cop films so it hadn’t aged too well but it did a lot of things that would be copied by a lot of movies and series after
Bullitt is definitely better than The Detective but when you compare it to The French Connection, Dirty Harry and Shaft it’s not as good. Still all those films set the cop/crime genre up that we have today
The problem is that the film kinda meanders on with Bullitt doing the whole being a cop is so tough routine. There’s no real satisfying ending either which might make it slightly more realistic to other Hollywood productions at the time. But yeah it kinda drags as an overall film save for some good scenes
It's one of the first movies that tried to realistically depict police work after the Hays Code. It might even be the first. All the gritty crime movies of the 70s owe themselves to it

It's true though, the movie being mid outside of the car chase has been well known before zoomers even existed
>It's true though, I'm definitely not talking out of my ass
Tarantino says it in his book too
Take your dogshit opinion elsewhere.
yea the chase isnt even that good
Don't Bother watching The French Connection then.

>implying you watched it
The chase is 10 minutes long. No way a zoomer can actually pay attention that long LMAO
This. He was obviously liveblogging his reaction on YouTube.
It's BulLIT frfr
You're gay and moronic.
I still need to watch this one. I’ve seen 7-8 of McQueen’s more popular films and all of them were were worth watching.
Make sure you see The Getaway if you haven't yet
Le Mans too.
>I read the tarantino book
these are bith good but mcqueens movies are pretty shallow overall
It's pretty good but not amazing. More like historically important to see where the modern cop movie came from
Real cars and real film still stand up
clank clank clank
The internet was slow as frick back then.
Only oldgays will remember standing around patiently with their friends waiting for the newest thread to come in.

I keep confusing this guy with Paul Newman

it goes from 6/10 to 9/10 in the final scenes

Airport scene at the end is better
Agree, that was a better chase
