ReviewsThe book is a dream read for Mustang lovers and movie buffs, and the careful attention you paid to getting the story right is so apparent., It's a very well written book that is an easy read... Kudos to Matt Stone for such an in-depth book., Amid the welter of Steve McQueen books that discuss everything from his unflappable gaze to his motorcycles to the filming of Le Mans, this one stands out. As its title implies, Bullitt is a one-stop read for literally everything you need to know about the 1968 detective drama, which boasts the best two-car race ever captured on film., This book contains everything about this movie. And we mean everything: the actors, the cars and the chase scene route as well as the recent history and sale of the original car and the tribute Bullitt Mustangs made by Ford in 2001 and 2019. We love the movie and there was no one like McQueen. We couldn't put this book down., There is much in this book that is fresh, particularly for fans of the unforgettable car chase in the 1968 movie Bullit .

SynopsisGet the behind the scenes view of arguably the most iconic automotive movie car and scene in history. Ask any automotive enthusiast what his or her favorite chase scene to appear in a movie is, and the majority will respond with "Bullitt." It has made the top 5 in every list covering the best automotive chase scenes in history. But the appeal isn't just about the chase scene. Shot entirely on location in picturesque San Francisco in 1968, the movie not only features the historic chase scene but also many outdoor scenes filled with cars and architecture of the period that are filmed in crisp clear color. The movie was the fifth-highest-grossing film for 1968, it was well received by critics, and the chase scene won Franks P. Keller an Oscar for editing. In Bullitt: The Cars and People Behind Steve McQueen , you will get the complete behind the scenes picture of how all the action was coordinated and filmed. Included are the ideas behind the making of the movie, an interview with Director Peter Yates, production stills, and the planning for the scene. Also covered is the cast, the building of the cars used in the film, and the how and why the stunts were choreographed and filmed. To round out the story, an examination of what happened to the cars is included as well as coverage of the multiple Bullitt Edition cars released by Ford after the film, including the latest 2019 edition. While several books have been published about Steve McQueen, the "King of Cool," never before has there been a thorough examination of this specific film and these specific cars. This edition is a welcome addition to the library of any McQueen, Mustang, or automotive film history fan., While several books have been published about Steve McQueen, the "King of Cool", never before has there been a thorough examination of this specific film and these specific cars.
