I knew nothing about the background of the movie before watching it on speed today, and my 1st thought was that that was the worst acting I'd ever seen.
But when I found out how the movie was made by a guy with a vision and no money and how he got it into the theaters with hollywood trying to shut him out, I was impressed by his tenacity and ingenuity.
I then thought it was a pretty good movie considering that the guy had never made a movie before.

Anybody else find the front end of those '73 Stangs totally sexy? Body colored bumpers ahead of their time, too.

I rented it the other night and I was really dissapointed, horrible acting, there were good parts to the car chase, but for the most part it was very boring. I could be saying this though because I bought bullit a week before.

The acting in Bullitt wasn't exactly spectacular either 
I love this movie. The chase, in my mind, is one of the most epic ever filmed. Right up there with the Bullitt chase, and Blues Brothers

Its not really about anything other than Eleanor. Thats what makes it a must see.
I really hate Nicolas Cage so I have to prefer the original. Plus when you think about the budget and they way they filmed it I would like to see someone better it today!
'Bullitt' has quite bad acting as well, but its the whole feel of the film that sets it apart. Its part of the reason the Mustang survived, as was Gone in 60 seconds. Both films deserve a lot of respect.

Never saw the original, but I liked the remake was one of the better car chaes out there IMO. Bullit on the otherhand I did see more than once and that car chase IMO is top notch, one of the best I've ever seen.
Everyone shuld see Bullit atleast once, here let me help with that
