Bullitt (1968) Filming Locations | Then & Now

Ойын-сауық

Nearly every filming location from the Steve McQueen action film shot in San Francisco, CA. Big thanks to CitySleuth at reelsf.com/ who provided a few photos of some hard-to-get-to interiors.
I normally focus on movies shot in New York. For more info, go to: nycinfilm.com

    Fantastic homage to the 1968 movie. The soundtrack is befitting of a modern-day remake if ever there is one. Good to see 90% of the locations still exist and are in good condition. Bullitt was one hell of a movie!

    Bullitt cannot beremade. Modern youngsters couldn't understand it with a tutor at their sides... And besides, a car chase with silent Teslas is no fun to watch.

    Nicely done! Very enjoyable! Years ago I, pretty much, drove the chase scenes, jumping all over the City. Love the now and then comparisons on how much most locations have changed; but some have pretty much stayed the same. In the film I liked the editing on the final part of the chase scene on Guadalupe Canyon Parkway where, to extend it, it was shot going both up and down the road before the final crash. Of course you can't tell that in the movie. Thanks for making the video.

I love any kind of then-and-now pictorials, especially movie locations as well as actual WWI and WWII battle locations. It would be great to see the techniques shown here used at some other locations. In any case, great work. Very enjoyable.

The most change is in the waterfront shots - all those old wooden 20-40's buildings are demolished now, but that Safeway is still there! I remember that from the 60's - too tough to die, I guess. I wonder if that corner store that Mr. McQueen walks into has any idea of the movie heritage? Well, again. A great job.
