Steve McQueen. He was in some great movies.
 

Steve McQueen - Rotten Tomatoes

Loved The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Magnificent Seven, The Getaway, Papillon and Tom Horn.

Agree, I also liked Junior Bonner and Wanted; dead or alive, which if I remember made the 44/40 Mares Leg famous? Which you can buy replica today from Henry rifles company.

Made some really fun movies

You seem to be right.

I watch Bullitt frequently. My car is a 2019 Bullitt!

How about the original gone in 60 seconds?

While talking about chase scenes, can’t forget the original classic “ Thunder Road” which IMO was the original chase scene. Where Chevy could never catch Ford. But 50 Ford cheated with the 312 thunderbird engine with 3 duces. The original engine swap from 239 flathead to the 312 thunderbird 3 duces creating what’s today called sleeper.

The roll over scene at beginning was originally just spin 180 and go the other direction, but the rolled over and landed on its wheels and they when with it.

In scene where Robert and his brother prepping the car you clearly see the thunderbird engine. For long time I thought it was olds J2 power Transplant?

My absolute favorite is Le Mans, great racing film even today.

Steve McQueen’s 1968 Mustang from 'Bullitt' sells for $3.4 million
 

I recently watched the auction of THE Steve McQueen Bullitt Mustang. It was damn near a cosmic experience. ;-)

It was auctioned off by Mecum Auction nearby at Kissimmee, Florida. It has been in the family of the original owners the Kiernan family. Images are in this link.

Maybe they should name a street in The Villages after him and Robert Blake.

Love With A Proper Stranger with Natalie Wood was a good one.

Don't forget The Blob! :icon_wink:
Filmed in Coatesville PA about an hour from where I used to live.

Who knows? They might have.

Tom Horn is quite an interesting movie. If you have not seen it, try it.

OOOOOOHHH NOOOOOO!

:22yikes:


Beware of the blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of the blob. . .


Thanks to your post, that song will be in my head alllllll day.

How did the developers get spin into this?

The real deal
 

so many great films to choose from. The most interesting movie he made , from a foreshadowing and historical perspective imo, was the sand pebbles. No 🍿🎥 spoilers here.

Forgot about that one! :coolsmiley:
