Google Mapping a Classic Movie Car Chase Scene
Via the blog Peterme comes this link to a creative use of Google mapping and GPS. It maps the famous car chase set piece scene from the 1968 film Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. The sequence from the movie is laid out on the left side of the screen, and the Google map with the changing positions of the cars is on the right.
I’ve never been especially bothered by the illogic of car chase scenes (where the cars turn a corner and mysteriously end up in an entirely different part of the city than they were just a moment before)…but this map lays it out for you with this chase scene filmed on the streets of San Francisco and surrounding area.
