so most come for the chase scene , but it's a pretty good flick in it's own right. SMQ playing (?) his standard character. As mentioned by Peter in the "old cars" thread, the soundtrack music by Lalo Schrifrin is outstanding. This is a remaster on BD and transfer is nice.
BD went straight into movie ..no apparent extras. BUT when it was done, the extras appeared. Nice documentary on SMQ and fine one on film editing too.

This week I also tried to watch RED (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1245526/?ref_=nv_sr_4)
got thru about 20 minutes before giving up. Bruce Willis trying to be SMQ just doesn't hold up well.
Also checked out the new GODZILLA and changed my mind and didn't watch.

Bullitt and his team of Sergeant Delgetti and Detective Carl Stanton have Ross in protective custody for 48 hours over the weekend until Ross provides his testimony that upcoming Monday. Bullitt's immediate superior, Captain Samuel Bennet, gives Bullitt full authority to lead the case, no questions asked for any move Bullitt makes. When an incident occurs early during their watch, Bullitt is certain that Ross and/or Chalmers are not telling them the full story to protect Ross properly. Without telling Bennet or an incensed Chalmers, Bullitt clandestinely moves Ross while he tries to find out who is after ... Written by Huggo
