Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	Last night, bastet and I went with a friend to the Arclight theater in Hollywood for an awards cerimony honouring Steve McQueen. The group presenting the honour is the Jules Verne Society. They are into sci-fi, science, adventure, and environmental conservation. To honour Steve, they showed Bullitt on the big screen! It flat out ROCKED!!! The chase is intense on a big screen. In attendance, and were interviewed prior to the screening, were Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Don Gordon, Georg Stanford Brown, Pat Renella and Lalo Schifrin, the writer of the musical score and Pablo Ferro, creator of the opening credit sequence. Also, Chad, his son, and most all of the McQueen clan were there. These are some pics I took... Pic 1 is a clone of the 'Stang, pic 2 is a clone of the Charger. Out front, the local Bullitt Mustang Club had premium parking! I just liked the action effect. Attach file: Pic1.jpg (561.42 KB) Pic2.jpg (459.76 KB) Pic3.jpg (432.16 KB)

Andy - I bet that was awesome on the big screen. It would be cool on IMAX.

The lighting was bad, and I didn't bring the big flash, so I had to make do with what I had... that and a little photo shop. To make matters worse, the inside lighting sucked, too! I should have brought the phaser along (Nikon SP800 flash, guide index somewhere near 200!). I am glad I got the pics I got, tho!

He died too young at 50, but I suspect his life was meant to be short. In 50 years he packed so much into it; he did lead a full long life.

It was my first time seeing the whole movie, and it was quite a good little cop drama. The chase scene reminded my why I hate driving in San Fran.

Bullit, Great Escape, SandPebbles,and a Movie in which Steve McQueen was driving a Ford Gt-40. Dad loved to watch them during snow storms. So by the time I was 5-6 in 1985 or 86 I could recite most of the lines, I was lucky Steve never talked much! . Other kids loved Elmo and Big Bird I had a major crush on a Mustang fastback with American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. Daddy's Girl.

Obviously, Bullitt was in there... but they also included the racing movies. The one you are thinking of, Erin, is LeMans. I don't think he was driving the GT40 in that, I think it was a Ferrari prototype. They also discussed that crap movie "Driven." It was about CART racing. That movie was so bad... And Days of Thunder... They made both out to look like Oscar winning think pieces. Not quite. The best racing movie of all time is Grand Prix with James Garner. We saw that at an event in Hollywood a few years back on the big screen, too, way cool.

As I recall from reading one of the car mags of the day, and from watching the movie, McQueen drove a Porsche 917 in that film. Further, the Ferraris weren't really Ferraris in the film. When the producers approached Enzo Ferrari to get some cars for the film, Enzo wouldn't do it because a Ferrari didn't win the film's race. The prominent Ferraris in the film were actually, rebodied Lolas, if I'm recalling correctly. I'm not saying this is the end of discussion, just my .02 as I recall it.

Funny the things kids remember! She would sit in that vette for hours, day dreaming. Cool.
