Mistakes

During the chase, when Bill Hickman drives the Charger into the residential area, as he loses Bullitt he comes to a distinctive intersection: he first looks right, then left. As he looks left, the first view of the sky shows it is half full of light clouds. A moment later, when the car drives on, the sky is completely clear of clouds. There are other shots showing even heavy clouds/blue sky, too. See more...

Trivia

There are many stories on the internet claiming a cameraman was killed when the charger hits the camera during this chase. On the DVD extras, we see this scene from a different angle. The charger hits the camera and we see it break up, but there is no-one near the camera. Obviously the cameraman set the camera rolling, then retreated - smart guy. See more...

Corrections

After the charger hits the camera Bullitt has just passed a blue car and then he overshoots the corner. When he reverses and pulls away again there is no sign of the blue car. [Not true at all. This scene, done in one take, has the Charger and Mustang passing the same blue GTO with a white top. The Charger crashes, then we see the Mustang screech to a halt ahead of the GTO. The Mustang reverses as the GTO pulls over and stops. The Mustang passes in front of the GTO again as it races off after the Charger again. The GTO is always there, partially visible behind the Mustang. See screenshots.]

Jaqueline Bisset and Steve McQueen are driving in her yellow Porsche on the busy freeway. A grey saloon and 3 red lorries feature behind in the shot. Bisset and McQueen stop the car and get out for a chat on the side of the road. They then get back in and drive off, with same grey car and 3 red lorries behind them! [They are not shown driving away in this scene. There is a brief shot of the car parked on the shoulder, and one red truck can be seen approaching, but it is a highway and there's probably other red trucks traveling there.]
