I agree that it was an amazing film, I saw some of it get shot. BUT, if you think these guys thought this stuff up, check out the career of Remy Julien, a french stunt driver who pioneered crazy street sequences. See the original Italian Job with the "real" minis...this guy was doing this stuff 5 years before Bullit....I think he is where they got the idea for some of the stuff....Bullit had drivers who were as good but the original ideas may have come from Europe....Remy's stuff is amazing...check it out.
