Bullitt (1968) Filming Locations | Then & Now

[JrGoonior]

This is one of the best "Then and Now" videos I've seen. No narration and even the music fit the movie!

Great split screen, so many of the angles "camera view" were spot on. Nothing like a Steve McQueen movie.

I love these sorts of "passing of time" videos. I have actually done this with still photos, standing in the exact spot where the photo was taken and looking at the changes. It seems a bit more consoling when the changes have been minimal.

Incredible video! I can’t imagine the amount of work it took to not only research the locations, but then to get the camera angles so perfect. And then the panning of the video in sync to match the original movie! Wow. Great editing. Very impressive work.

Fifty five years later, amazing how little has changed. Bound to still be Charger hubcaps lying about. Great job, thanks.

Amazing job. Love the split screen, and the attention to detail. 👏

Great tribute to the late Steve McQueen also. Nice work

After watching the car chase of the Bullit movie and then watching the Then & Now filming locations, it is fascinating to see what has not changed in 55 years. It's amazing that the Safeway grocery store is still there. An excellent look at that movie from 1968 and 2023.

Great job hitting the exact angles. Amazing how little has changed in 55 years...

Wow, this is like a film in itself and deserves an Oscar for all your hard work, can’t give you enough thumbs up 👍

That was impressive, matching the filming locations to current day obviously took some time and you did it extremely well. Nicely done!

Simply excellent. Very well done.
The scanning synchronization adds a level of correlation to the original film that makes it much easier to appreciate what was then and what is now.
I love any kind of then-and-now pictorials, especially movie locations as well as actual WWI and WWII battle locations. It would be great to see the techniques shown here used at some other locations.
In any case, great work. Very enjoyable.

These are such great videos. They are films in their own right

Probably one of my top 5 movies of all time. 20 years lived in SF which is a place I love. Amazing job whoever you are!!

[patrickcotter]

I loved the way you did the split screen. Well done!

that original movie was filmed in moody (noir) semi darkness of night, which made it feel more sinister and foreboding. Great job finding the locations and matching them up. We lost so many great actors since the original movie came out. Good to see actor Norm Fell, again. He's been deceased a long time. Bullitt's Mustang was as much the main character as actor Steve McQueen. As a kid watching it, ....I loved how the cars, "caught some air" as they flew over all those hilly streets. I remember some filming errors, in the original, when some "shots' weren't exactly lined the smashed up cars in the chase scenes, didn't match up as some were not so smashed up. As a kid my eyes were glued to the actions on the screen.

One of the greatest movies ever made, thanks for posting this, it shows not much has changed with the locations, amazing that the food market is still there on the corner, most have just been modernised 🇬🇧

I saw Bullitt when I was in High School in Ohio, and I think I ended up in the Bay Area many years later partly because of that dang chase scene. This is the first time I've known the actual filming locations. Thanks so much for this amazing and very detailed video.

4:06 - A great coincidence or excellent sound editing! 😃
