My favorite Kurt Russell action movie is Soldier. Haven't seen it in years. Might have to hunt it down again.

A Man Called Otto, a (2022 comedy/drama), is on FXM today.
It starts out rather slow but overall, I think it is a pretty good movie.

When I was a young Piston Head I used to really enjoy car chase movies.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Vanishing Point
and a number of others.
A sort of more current (even though it's mid 70s) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World is The Gumball Rally.
Never cared for the Cannonball movies. Not funny, verging on stupid. What really flushed them for me was Burt's buddy Dom Deluise.

First among the others would beā¦?
ā¦Bullitt! ok, thatās my choice (even though that Charger he was chasing lost like 11 hubcaps during the rideā¦
)āWorldās Fastest Indianā is a great movie with very broad appeal based on Burt Munroās life. A riding buddy had the opportunity to actually visit that Indian during a group motorcycle tour in New Zealandā¦

Bullitt is my favorite also. It was all filmed at real speed. I was disappointed to learn the engine sounds were dubbed in.
Yes the hubcap count is off a little. There is a scene we Steve McQueen misses a corner and smokes the tires backing up and going forward. He wasnāt suppose to do that but they left it in. There is a green VW that gets passed more then once. The route they take wouldnāt be real world, in other words the sequence jumps around on somewhat random streets. The wanted to use the Golden Gate Bridge but the city nixed that idea.

The difference is that in Bullitt the chase scene is just that, a scene.
The others are almost exclusively chase, chase, chase...
In Bullitt it isn't just the Bug that gets seen several times. Don't forget the Cadi and if you look closely people watching the action from their apartment windows.
What aboot the Newspaper box that gets taken out. Just at it gets taken out the chase goes to the next shot.
Although filmed at real speed where it loses me is at the end when Frank spins out into the ditch. That just looks sped up.
Love the movie though.
Best and most realistic chases are in the French Connection movies. Makes Bullitt a bit amateurish.
