Trivia:
Peter Yates hired a local trucking company for some background shots (most notably the scene where the Dodge Charger crashes into the gas station), but sent back the initial truck because it was red. He didn't want any red vehicles in the movie because it would detract from the blood. A blue truck was dispatched in its place. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: During the chase, many of the shots involving a screeching left or right turn clearly show skid marks already on the pavement, indicating a re-take. moreQuotes:
Captain Bennett: He let the killers in himself? Why would he do a thing like that?Frank Bullitt: I'm waiting to ask him.
Captain Bennett: What about the setup? What do you make of that?
Frank Bullitt: Shotgun and a backup man, professionals.

Steve McQueen was usually worth watching no matter what he was in, although he did a few stinkers like everyone else. This is not one of them; he's excellent here as an intense but low-key cop. It's a pretty solid police thriller which features a famous car-chase scene that supposedly set the standard (or maybe it did at the time of release.)
What's interesting to note, according to a documentary on the DVD, is that McQueen did his own driving! No stuntman for him, even at 110 miles per hour through the streets. Speaking of streets, San Francisco always makes for an interesting local.
Robert Vaughn, Don Gordon, Jacqueline Bissett, Simon Oakland and Robert Duvall complete the big-name cast, but this is McQueen's movie all the way.....and, for a film almost 40 years old, it's not very dated.
