Reviews: the picture for Bullitt has been excellent even since its last release on VHS, either due to previous careful restoration work or because of good quality equipment/storage. add todays 'hi-tech' restoration processes and you end up with a fantastic clear and colourful picture on this DVD release
the high sound quality has also been maintained, with the car chase in particular remaining as engaging as ever
my only gripe is that there isnt enough on this 2 disc special edition. why release an extra dvd 'the making of bullitt' when normally you would expect everything to be included on a special edition release? disc 2 could easily have contained more footage... it seems like a money grabbing exercise to me. either put everything on or drop the 'special edition' tag please as the phrase is used far too often.
on the movie itself... very cool. great music and opening sequence. the world that mcQueens character inhabits is very stylish indeed. he lives very simply, but still enjoys the finest things that life has to offer. a great combination, and very much like mcQueen himself maybe
one question about the movie... given McQueens thorough commitment toward reality in this movie, why did noone dispute the super charged green herbie being passed so many times in the car chase?? realistic hospital scenes etc etc, personal involvement in stunt work, and a herbie car that gets passed at least four times... it doesnt make sense. maybe a deliberate joke...
if you have a previous release of Bullitt i'm not sure its worth your while getting this, perhaps hire first to see if you are getting anything extra for your money. If not then i'd recommend you go for it. McQueens best film without question. |
