The car chase was bullshit.

This is true
But I don't think AA was talking about the film, more making a statement

Bit of both, really

Apart from the French Connection
and Bullitt
and The Love Bug

and the italian job remake

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:01, Reply)

The car chase in the original Italian Job was filmed in Coventry, fact fans.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:05, Reply)

Well, the bit in the sewer was.

( Kroney, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:07, Reply)

+ The Blues Brothers

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:02, Reply)

French Connection was alright, it wins points for being filmed live on a road open to the public.
Those crashes were actual crashes with members of the public, you know.

Bullitt sucks.
( Kroney, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:02, Reply)

Yeah I read Cracked.com too ;-)
Saying "Bullitt sucks" makes you a homosexual.

Hah, yeah, I did read that article, but it's all over the internet if you care to look.
Bullitt is shit. I hated it.
( Kroney, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:06, Reply)

I particularly liked the bit in that article about Buster Keaton

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:08, Reply)

Keaton was nails.
I had no idea those stunts were real.
( Kroney, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:11, Reply)

The title of that piece summed it up
"Buster Keaton just didn't give a fuck"

Can't believe he broke his neck and didn't feel it. He was literally a spangly outfit away from being Captain America.

Have a good song about Buster Keaton:

Bullitt is excellent but you need to count hubcaps and VW Beetles during the car chase

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 11 Apr 2013, 11:11, Reply)

It's been a while since I watched Bullitt
The things that stick out for me are the opening credits with that great Lalo Schifrin score, Robert Vaughn being sleazy/Robert Vaughn something about witness protection and the car chase. I think I still have it on VHS.

Heat has the best gunfight on film
but holy fuck does it drag on.

Also: Val Kilmer's hair.

Heat is an excellent film, but would you really call it an 'action' film?
I think that cheapens it, somewhat.
