The task to complete:
Watch the video and discuss/post a response in your own words. Background Context:
This assignment is based upon the Video and Chapter 16.
Forty-five years ago, Warner Brothers Pictures released Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. Then, as now, the studio recognized one incontrovertible truth: If you want to put men in seats, include a good chase scene, followed by an explosion or two, in your crime drama. Bullitt’s duel, between the 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback (driven by Steve McQueen, as inspector Frank Bullitt) and the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T (driven by Bill Hickman, as evil henchman Phil), has become the stuff of legend, with homages filmed on a semi-regular basis, and a cult following all its own. – See more at http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/10/17/bullitt-and-one-of-the-most-famous-car-chase-scenes-ever-filmed-turns-45/#sthash.rgGBnVhD.dpuf
