Car chase Alcatraz Bullitt

[jerrym3]

Don't know if you watch the show Alcatraz, but go on this website and click the car chase.

It's a reenactment of the Bullitt car chase scene.

Not as good as the original (nothing ever will be), but not bad either.

Even has the infamous little VW bug.

I give Ford credit. Even though they are the show's sponsor, they allowed the bad guy to drive a Dodge Charger.

Normally, the female detective driving the Stang drives a 67 green fastback in the show as her personal car.

Obviously the new cars are faster. The city chase is half is long. :)

That was pretty cool! My favorite chase scene is the original gone in 60 seconds, with the yellow mach 1.

thats pretty damn cool, you're right, not as good as the original, but sill cool. I'd love to see the original chase fully recreated with today's cars

though one thing

Charger can't spin the tires from a stand still without bleach :lol: j/k

Yep, I love how that worked that green VW Beetle into the shots ... just like the original. Pretty darn close ... even the same streets and cross-street turns. :D I liked the ending to the new one, too. :up:

I saw the chase and loved it!

That 5.0 was badass!!!

I was there when they were filming it. I couldnt wait for the episode to come out. Not disappointed either.

[Merrill]

In the Bullit chase it was believable that Steve McQueen and the bad guy were driving there cars, not so much in the new one. Pretty cool though.

This is better just for the music alone.

Do you think the city and insurance companies would ever give the OK to do what they did back then? Never.

I saw this movie in the full screen theaters when it first came out. It made our stomachs jump just watching it.

But, except for downtown Embarcadero area, San Francisco never seems to change. (I've been there often on business since the early 80's, but not in the past eight years.)

It's my favorite US city to visit, and is on my "bucket list" for a return trip.

The original cars in Bullit were heavily modified, probably not the case for the very well made newer version.

I worked on those 2 mustangs for the alcatraz show. Took the air bags out and changed some suspension parts too. Also swapped the tires out. The thing that sucks is both mustangs (both are indentical) were crushed after the filming. One of them had some badass racing seats.. I think recaro.. And had the brand new 5.0 engine in em. What a waste to crush those cars and throw away. I was tryin to see if i coulda got the engines out but it was a no go. I have pics of us workin on te cars but i still dont kno how to download pics from my iphone.

Why did they crush them? Were they that badly damaged?

The car chase was missing 5-6 Charger hubcaps flying off. :D

I like the show, that gal is hot. She was in a few episodes of Sons of Anarchy. I think Alcatraz is cancelled, tho. Bummer, now we will never know what happened.

It is nice to see both rear tires spin and smoke instead of just the right one.
