If you want to hear Sean Kiernan telling the story about his family owning the Bullitt – click here for the podcast.
Did you know Steve McQueen sent a letter to the owner of the Bullitt back in the late 70’s? Not exactly the warmest piece of writing…Mr Kiernan did NOT respond and never heard from them again. (McQueen had called previously).
Still one of the most amazing movie scenes ever. Turn it up to 11.
