An artistic time capsule of the track in every sense... - Pat Daly
Highly acclaimed Public Broadcasting documentary. 57 minutes. DVD contains 45 minutes of additional features including rare historical footage, interviews, and director commentary. English. 2001 release.
This historic track, located near the North Carolina border in Danville, Virginia, is one of the most challenging road courses in the country. The 1.6-mile South Course features a 3,000-foot straightaway, 70-feet of elevation change and challenging turns, such as the legendary Oak Tree Bend and a flowing left-right-left turn sequence
San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an Oscar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy Steve McQueen, who stars as a tenacious detective (is there any other kind?) determined to track down the killers of the star witness in an important trial. Director Peter Yates (Breaking Away) approached the story with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, using a variety of San Francisco locations. Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Duvall appear in early roles, and Robert Vaughn plays the criminal kingpin who pulls the deadly strings of the tightly wound plot. --Jeff Shannon
