Classic McQueen Chase with GPS tracking

A user named 'Steve McQueen' recently posted a really cool video clip from his namesake's classic movie 'Bullitt'. The high speed chase follows McQueen in a 1968 Ford Mustang 390 CID Fastback as he speeds through San Francisco's hilly streets. The GPS tracking adds a cool new dimension to the whole chase and it could be interesting to see other famous movie scenes mapped out. The tracking also points out some inconsistency to where the actual film was shot, jumping from downtown to the Marina to Daly City during the chase. The Bullitt chase track has been mapped out once before statically on Google Maps.
