This movie won some awards, like an Oscar for best film editing, and other sound and editing awards. Made in 1968, the movie, remembered for this chase scene between a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T, has long been idolized by car enthusiasts. The 1998 movie Ronin is the most recent movie to have a chase scene comparable to that of Bullitt.
Ford has a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt model that takes many design and look cues from the GT model in the movie.
