The King of Cool

I recently saw a modern recreation of the car chase from Bullitt.  It involves Chad McQueen, Steve McQueen's son, driving the classic green Mustang.  It's pretty cool.  Here it is:





And here's the original starring the the King of Cool himself:






In my opinion, it's the music that really makes this scene.  You get a slow-speed buildup before the actual chase.  Then the seat belt gets fastened, and that's when you know things are about to get serious, because no one wore seat belts back then.

Anyway, I think Fast N' Loud's recreation is a nice tribute to Steve McQueen and the movie.
