Bullitt Movie - Now and then
|

North on Mason Street from
California.
That's the Fairmont Hotel on the right. |

Mark Hopkins Hotel, 999
California at Mason. |

Behind the cable car is
the Renaissance
Stanford Court Hotel at California & Powell. |

And completing this early
hotel tour is the Westin St. Francis Hotel on Powell
Street at Union Square. |

This was at 2700 Vallejo
Street at Divisadero in Pacific Heights. |

The "Daniels Hotel"
actually the Kennedy Hotel was at the end
of Howard Street at the Embarcadero. |

|

|

Another view of the
Daniels Hotel.
Notice the freeway behind it, no longer there. |

The hospital scenes were
filmed at San Francisco
General Hospital, 1001 Potrero Avenue. |

Bullitt's home was on the
south side of Clay Street, just east of Taylor. This view
is looking east on Clay. |

Looking south on Powell
Street, south of Union Square. |

These are pictures from
Grace Cathedral Episcopal Church, 1100 California Street.
Look closely at the top of the second picture. Yes, that is
a gas station on top of Nob Hill! This was a
Phillips Union 76 station, located where the Gramercy
Towers Condominiums are now located at 1177 California at
Jones. The gas station was destroyed around 1972 when
construction began on what was originally supposed to be
a Hyatt Hotel, until they were able to build the
Embarcadero Hyatt instead. |

Enrico's Sidewalk Café,
504 Broadway at Kearny Street. |

|

The famous car-chase scene
begans here at the base of Bernal Heights. Here, Bullitt
is making a u-turn on Army Street (now Cesar Chavez),
just east of Bryant. |

The scene soon shifts to
here,
eastbound Filbert Street at Mason. |

This is the corner of
Columbus and Vallejo.
|

|

The cars are now going
downhill on northbound Taylor Street. |

That's San Francisco City
College's
Chinatown Campus, 940 Filbert Street. |

Now, the chase cuts to the
Marina District. The first picture has the Fort Mason
Center
in the background and the other has the Marina Safeway
store. |

The 1968 GT390 Bullitt on
Marina Boulevard. |

Instead of getting to the
Golden Gate Bridge, as one might expect (filming,
apparently, wasn't allowed on the Bridge since they would
have needed to close it temporarily), the film cuts to
McLaren Park's Mansell Street, just west of University. |

We now cut to Guadalupe
Canyon Parkway which cuts from Brisbane to Daly City. |

|

|

|

Originally the Thunderbird
Hotel, this is now the
Clarion Hotel at 401 East Millbrae Avenue |

This is at the Candlestick
Park exit ramp from Highway 101. |

San Francisco
International Airport. |
| SOME BEHIND-THE-SCENES PICS |

Steve McQueen practiced
driving stunts in Cotati. |

A shot of the entrance to
San Francisco General Hospital. |

Two pictures from shooting
the car chase scene. The first is by Grace Cathedral and
the second is on Potrero Hill. |
