Trivia
The editing of the famous chase scene was not without difficulties; Ralph Rosenblum wrote in 1979 that "those who care about such things may know that during the filming of the climactic chase scene in Bullitt, an out-of-control car filled with dummies tripped a wire which prematurely sent a costly set up in flames, and that Editor Frank Keller salvaged the near-catastrophe with a clever and unusual juxtaposition of images that made the explosion appear to go off on time." This is why a careful view of the footage during the final explosion shows the Dodge Charger visible behind the flames.
Quotes
Captain Bennet:
He let the killers in himself? Why would he do a thing like that?
Bullitt:
I'm waiting to ask him.
Captain Bennet:
What about the setup? What do you make of that?
Bullitt:
Shotgun and a backup man, professionals.
Goofs
During the chase sequence, the same green Volkswagen Beetle is seen at least 4 different times in 4 different locations in a period of not more than 1 minute.
Alternate Versions
During the car chase, when the Charger goes wide on a corner and hits a camera, the film was salvaged and red frames added at the end, to give a "point of impact" impression. Despite this gag being in situ for decades, on the current Cinemax Asia print, someone has seen fit to completely remove these last frames of the shot.

"The Last Man on Earth" star Kristen Schaal's script might be Oscar worthy, or it could leave you questioning your humanity. "UnMade" brings it to life, presented by "Star Trek: Discovery."
