Ford and Alcatraz Aired The Remade Chase From Bullitt Last Night

Yes, there was a beetle.

The car chase from Bullitt is considered, by many, to be the greatest ever filmed. As a result, the itch to remake it has taken hold of both Ford and the makers of the Fox show Alcatraz. 

It isn't quite as long as the original, and it ends in a much more Michael Bay era style, but a vintage VW beetle does keep showing up, so that should make up for other short comings. Rather than the 1968 Mustang GT390 and the 1968 440 CID Dodge Charger the modern chase stars a Deep Impact Blue 2013 Ford Mustang GT and a previous generation Dodge Charger (can't be showing off the competition's new metal).

Head over to Jalopnik to check out the video.
