Bullitt (Original Score) - Lalo Schifrin - Shifting Gears

From the original score. Not a rerecording.
I DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC.

[@jameshoran8]

If you're driving a Mustang through San Francisco with this playing on the car radio, make sure you have Bill Hickman in your rearview mirror.

[@yoyodude4936]

Yeah lol

[@johndates9827]

When Bill Hickman Buckles up; you know the shit is about to hit the fan. :)

[@jameshoran8]

And the guy "riding shotgun" with Hickman really has a shotgun.

[@kaznoff2782]

He had a look of pure determination on his face. Buckled his belt and lit the tires up and ALL HELL broke loose! One of the best scenes lol.

[@stankatic8182]

My brother and I saw this movie on the big screen at the Palace Theater in Gary , Indiana. As 12 and 11 year old boys , to view the chase scene with this incredible soundtrack is STILL unforgettable !

[@jimmyj1969]

When the two cars play cat-and-mouse in low speed, this wonderful music sets the tone and provides atmosphere. When they go full throtle and the real action begins, music stops (as it is no longer necessary) and the only soundtrack is the sound of roaring engines and screeching tyres! The use of music in this film is perfect!

[@gosponbreeze]

I heard this a million times and still get goosebumps

me too this was moition picture music at its absolute best ,lalo shifrin was a genius

[@voice_of_reason5604]

This awesome sound track is what makes the Bullitt car chase the greatest of all time imo.

[@videowilliams]

In a dangerous world, just be more dangerous. Be like Bullitt. Feels soo goood. First time I showed the famous 1968 car chase to my 1974 brother, he quipped ''Slow, isn't it?'' during this backstreets bit that Lalo Schifrin scored. But anyone who's seen the movie knows the moment the music stops, tyres start to squeal...

[@TheCopnovelist]

It gets better and better every time I hear it.

[@Claubras]

That's because it's timeless, 55 years after the fact ! A Lilo Schifrin masterpiece ! 😃👍

[@karlluppold240]

One of the most suspenseful pieces of music ever used in a movie

[@Rhubba]

Top tip. Put this on your car stereo system and go driving. Make sure a window is down and the volume is loud enough. Then, when you stop at some traffic lights, look suspiciously at the driver in the car next to you. For one brief moment, you're Bullitt.

[@hunkatiel]

Lol. Then to really confuse them, chase them all over town.

[@RonaldCharlesEpstein]

For one brief moment, the other driver thinks, "WTF"?

[@KrazyJake88]

you kinda have to be in a dark green mustang tho

wanna feel like the coolist cat... 1. pop this tune into your aux 2. select any car in front of you 3. keep following that car until the driver gets spooked and suspicious 4. floor on the gas if driver attempts to flee 5. chase car!!

[@MOS6582]

+Michael Reyes 6. after the cops have inevitably pulled you over, you say "Yes but have you actually seen Bullitt?" then youtube it and show them the chase scene. They'll agree it's pretty badass and let you go.

You can't chase them with the music on though, just like the movie.

An exceptional movie, with exceptionally good music. Thank you Maestro Lalo Schifrin. Gives me major goosebumps every time I see it or hear the music. And happy birthday. :) :)

[@robinhooduk8255]

the chase isnt the coolest part is the movie, its when the hunters become the hunted, when the guy looks in the mirror and sees the green fastback.

[@ThatGuy-te9wh]

"ohhh shit we been hoodwinked"

[@trifleneurotic]

Yes, this! Phil did a double take when he saw Bullitt's car, but seconds before that, his partner Mike knew that the tables had been turned. You can see his silhouette snap his head to the Challenger's rear view the moment before the Mustang crests the hill. It's a truly cool, exciting, tension-building moment.

[@carsaine4535]

@@trifleneuroticYou mean Charger

[@trifleneurotic]

@@carsaine4535 Ah yes! Not sure where my mind was there. Apologies :) Thank you for the correction. And although there was more than one Charger used for the chase, generally speaking the hitmen's car was a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T.

[@wishmaster7438]

This is the scene before the actual famous car chase scene on the steep hills of San Fransisco. I can actually hear the screech of tyres in my head. I know every scene in the movie.

[@michaelreyes7641]

The screeching of tires always starts in my head as soon as the song finishes!!!

Clay and Taylor. Where he is checking his change to see if he has enough to buy a paper. He doesn't so he breaks into the box and steals one. That corner grocery store is still there and there's a picture of McQueen inside.

[@chrismarshall4702]

From the era that America built Cars, not appliances.

[@KingCeee]

Cars today ain't appliances

[@ShamrockFive]

I can't imagine an other piece of music it's history, which better can emphasize the tension build up of the imminent epic car chase. You feel the power of both cars is about to explode when the rogue appearing black Dodge '68 Charger goes from iddle to full power in a split second. This piece of music also represents 100% '69 vintage male testosteron when a man was still a man.(dispite the flower power era). It just drips of the Dodge driver and off course Stever Mcq.

[@MrAlfredKubrick]

It's great and also funny that people remeber this as the theme for the chase. But it precedes the chase instead. The chase itself is without music, That's the reason why this piece isn't named "The Chase" but "Shifting Gears" The magic of music in movies... I also like the re-recording in it's own right. Thanks a lot for uploading!

[@hj179]

This score was a perfect match for the film footage.
