Did a search assuming this topic had to have already been discussed but didn't find anything, so...

I just watched Bullit for the first time a couple days ago -- great Mustang sequence about an hour into the movie. Supposedly 100+ MPH car chase with Steve McQueen doing his own driving!

I'll probably watch Gone in 60 Seconds (again) in the next week or so.

But after that am starting to wonder what classic Mustang movies I can watch to tide me over while I wait.

 

Find a copy of the original Gone in 60 Seconds from 1974. It has a great hour chase scene with a '73 "Mach1", but its really just a yellow fastback with some mods. If you watch closely half way through the chase they also just happen to pass by a 1970 Grabber Blue Boss 429.

If you're into James Bond movies, Diamonds are Forever has a nice shorter chase scene with a '71 Mach1.

 

I personally can't think of my favorite. It seems every Mustang I've seen in a movie gets wrecked or blown up. I especially hated in Pelican Brief when the blew up the '66 Coupe. :cry:

 

There is nothing better then Bullit. How can you order this car and never have seen Bullit until now?

Both gone in 60 seconds are pretty cool though in terms of the Mustangs.

Not sure what this has to do with the 2005 mustang, but what ever.

 

Watch the chase again and count how many hubcaps come off the killer's Charger. 8 or 9 last count! ha haa
Did anyone see that 68 GTO they pass up. Made my heart skip a beat.
Now that woulda been a chase!

 

Agree that I should have seen Bullitt somewhere along the way, but consider that I am also ordering a car that I have only ever sat in, but never driven. Which is more preverse?!

As far as what this has to do with '05 Mustangs, seems like the two biggest selling features of the '05 is the classic style and bang for the buck. Considering I've watched every one of those dang '05 videos on the Ford site anout 10 or more times each, it seemed time to try and find something with a litttle more meat. Other than a few clips here and there on the web, there are no '05 vid's, so next best thing is to go back to the original body style that drove the current design.

At some point I'll probably see about renting a Mustang with a stick just to mess around for a day or two. It's been years since I drove a stick regularly, so better to "practise" on a rental than my car once it gets here.

 

The fastest car in that movie is the Green Bug. Now matter how many times they pass it, it is still ahead of them.

 

I gotta say Bullitt or the new Gone in 60 Seconds

 

Paul???????? What's goin on??????? As penance, you should go out and buy a copy of the movie and watch it, oh, maybe all weekend or something.

Otherwise, welcome to the Bullitt club. IT IS THE BEST, the coolest, etc, etc.....my vote for #1.

And poor, poor Darthbob. Once again, you've got nothing better to do during your wait than to count hubcaps in movies - and silly GTO made by.....who was it???

See ya

 

IMO there are no good movies involving Mustangs. Take away the chase scenes and blah.

 

Here is 500 or so you can watch

Elvis driving a a GT 350 is fun, what movie was that? in the NASCAR shots he was driving Buddy Baker's 66 Charger.

 

Is this how neighboring countrymen treat their fellow Mustang constituents?


Let me see which state flag emoticons are available for my use...Oh my...
only one, the Best!
:tex:

 

In fast and the Furious 2, two semi trucks ran over a brand new Saleen Mustang...I was HORRIFIED .....I think there is a nice 1968 Bullitt clone in the movie "Vanilla Sky"

 

hmm a boss '9? gotta go n find it now...

i l;ove the 74 edition better. i also love the '73 mach better than the "shelby" eleanor.

40+min of chasing to tell the truth.... :hiding: i....havent ....i....i...i havent actually seen bullitt yet!!! i know i know, its almost..wait no, it is...a sin! but i have seen the chase scene part... does that redeem me?

 

Thanks for the link, not sure why search for keyword "movies" didn't find it...

Oh well, there must be at least a few worth adding to the Netflix queue!

 

They roar past the same white beetle about 4 times. Pass up some nice MG's and all sorts of stuff. My wife gets tired of me watching movies from the 60's and pointing out all of the mustangs that show up on street shots. . . .

--P

 

Bullitt is the best by far, shame they dubbed the sound, the new Gone In 60 Seconds is irritating, too many fast edits

 

Mr. Billion has an interesting chase sequence with a hot-rodded '71 Mach 1 that appears to jump through the doors of a moving freight car. it's all done with editing but it almost looks real.

 

I know how you feel i got a little happier when the vette was all screwed up though
if you watch the extra features it was neither a saleen nor was it that body style they slapped those body panels on a v6 98

 

o thank god
