Watching a T.V. show and it referred to Bullet as the greatest car chase ever. Years ago the movie Gone in 60 Seconds the first version and second were released when Nicolas Cage stoled the Yellow and a Silver Mustang which he called Eleanor and the chase they had trying to caught him.

What chase scene is better? The chase scenes in Bullit or the chase scenes in Gone in 60 Seconds? If there is a better car chase movie please tell me. Smoky and the Bandit does not even match to none of these movies.

Let's not forget that the movie referred to is "Bullitt" with an "i" and it is a good chase. The movie that defined chase scenes was "The French Connection".

Agreed, bullit was a great chase but the French connection was is my reference for car chase, but I don’t think Gene Hackman drove

Bullit followed by The 7 Ups

The Minis in both versions of The Italian Job are worth watching. Not exactly chase scenes but they went where no Mustang would dare to go.

I thought Steve McQueen drove his own car chase scenes in Bullitt.

One of the problems that I have with current stunt car chase scenes is that some of the stunts are virtually impossible and on a 2nd look are plain stupid. I still think that Bullitt is the best because it is real cars on real streets just going fast on hills and curves. No stupid impossible jumps or driving backwards on sidewalks or driving with one side of the car leaning over, or swerving in and out of traffic passing cars that are "parked" in the drive lanes, etc, etc. Today's chase scenes are boring because nobody can drive like that in real life (although my 90 grandmother can come close sometimes)

Bullit is a classic. Another good car chase is called "Vanishing Point", a decent movie where the main car is a Dodge Challenger.

McQueen drove about half of the chase, he almost crash his car and they thought it best to replace him with a stunt driver, he was too big of a star to have him hurt or killed in a stunt.
