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...

Visible crew/equipment: As Eddy stands up to go out of Enrico's restaurant with Bullitt, look at the only window that is in the shot. A short male with black hair gets past the crowd-control policeman (in a white helmet) on the sidewalk. The cop reaches out to stop him, but it is too late. The walkie-talkie in the cop's hand has a long antenna. It's quick, subtle and quite humourous.

Revealing: When Bullitt is in the Coffee Contata restaurant, he called Delgetti at the grungy hotel. Bullitt didn't look at a note for the supposedly unfamiliar phone number, but it seems as if the number wouldn't take much to remember, either. The number Bullitt dials on the rotary phone sounds as if it is made up of only the digits 1, 2 and maybe a 3, to not slow down the sequence.

Other: Just before the Charger crashes, a tow bar connecting both vehicles is visible on the Mustang's front bumper.

Factual error: During the chase, Bullitt's Mustang skids off the road and kicks up a huge cloud of brown dust that engulfs the car. It should now be coated with dust, but in the next shot of it speeding away, the Mustang is sparkling clean again.

Other: When we get a front shot of the two cars jumping the hills, watch when the Mustang lands on all four wheels. It gives out a tremendous amount of smoke and steam from underneath. (Slow it down on DVD for the full effect.) This is because the car landed too heavily and shattered the sump (oil pan). The other Mustang had to be used while the mechanics repaired the damage.

Continuity: In the scene were Bullitt and Cathy are talking by the roadside, we get a front view of her as she raises her hand to her head and she is holding a yellow flower. Cut to rear view of Cathy - no hand or flower. Back to front view - hand and flower are there again.

Continuity: In the leadup to the chase, the Charger stops at the top of a hill and the occupants look left where we see a green car parked in front of a red car. As the Charger pulls away we get the same view. The red car is still there, but now has a blue car of a different model in front of it and in a different place.

Continuity: During the Charger/Mustang chase scene you see Steve McQueen's Mustang skid around a lot of corners. If you look at the street you can see the skid marks from the previous takes.

Continuity: The Charger loses three hub caps during the chase but has two still on it when it crashes into the gas station.

Continuity: In the interior forward shot from inside the Charger as it goes down the hills and we see a white Saloon pull out from a side street and turn right and the charger passes this car. Then we cut to a view looking up the hills. We see the Mustang leap and the same white Saloon is again pulling out of a side street and turning right.
