For around ten minutes in October 1968, cinema-goers were treated to footage of a green Ford Mustang GT fastback driven by Steve McQueen chasing down a couple of nefarious types in a Dodge Charger across San Francisco. Bullitt. We suspect they became slack-jawed as a result: how on earth does the Charger lose six hub caps? How does the same VW Beetle pop up everywhere? We jest, of course, because those ten minutes remain iconic, representing the very best that cinema has to offer in the realm of the Big Fat Car Chase. It was good. Jumps. Drifts. Lots of V8 thunder.
