Fastback

Warning: It gets graphic …by '70s standards.

There have been several analyses of this movie but mostly this scene, though, to call it a scene seems like a misuse of the term. Someone even mapped the route taken during this part of the film.

The film is pretty good if you like 'cops & robbers' films of the '70s.

Poster Design

This poster uses Broadway, so there's that going for it.

I could not find any info about the designers of these posters.

There's a great writeup by Stephen Coles about the title design of the movie on https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5681/bullitt-1968-opening-title-sequence

Speed

Aidan (my eldest) and I spoke a bit about, what must be, "the perfect recipe" of mechanics and combustion that creates the sound of this Ford Mustang engine and exhaust. It is quite the sound.

We see a similar car, in black, at our local car show haunts every month (and every year!), and I always think about this car.

Steve McQueen. Mustang. Villains. Check. Check. Check.
…plus Robert Vaughn, Robert Duvall, and Jacqueline Bissett.

And the 1968 V8 Ford Mustang GT Fastback.

Also, who knew you could 'remove background' in  Preview.app??
