I really miss this guy as he really lit up the screen. He claimed he got cancer from asbestos when he was in the navy cleaning the submarine. A real individualist and a smart, cool cat.
I loved this film from the first viewing, but seeing McQueen the consummate car racer and enthusiast playing a guy who couldn't back a car out of fresh mowed field without putting a dent into it.

If there is a Steve McQueen movie that should be played more often,it’s ‘The Hunter’.He was great in this movie,and the character of Ralph Papa Thorson was so different for him.
The Hunter (1980) is based on the exploits of Ralph "Papa" Thorson, a real-live, professional bounty hunter from Los Angeles, who hunts fugitives for a bail bondsman.
sad but true it was his last film, released I think about 4 months before his death. You can see McQueen is somewhat thinner than when he & Ben Johnson were in "The Getaway" 8 years before.
David Barbala Tom Horn and The Hunter were both released in 1980 but McQueen was diagnosed a month after The Hunter completed filming and he was in beginning stages of his lung cancer when filming started and was evident during filming when tried doing stunts and would be out of breath. Shortly after the film of Tom Horn premiered news spread that McQueens cancer was terminal
I never made the connection when Star Trek TNG came out that Geordi had been in that movie with Steve. I’m so old I saw that movie when originally in the theaters.
Gotta say the two that really grabbed me were The Sand Pebbles, and Soldier In The Rain. He got to show some of his under appreciated range in character and I got something in my eye every time I saw them.
License plate reads 247 PCE at 7:10 The "PCE" always meant a Hollywood car or stunt vehicle. Spielberg used it in the car driven by Dennis Weaver In "Duel". The 1970 red Valiant license plate 149 PCE.
@@pauledwards7182 Why would the studios not simply replace the "-PCE" prop. plate with another, anonymous, one that the state's licencing authority would issue on a one-time basis to any ordinary road-vehicle?: the 'real' plate could be discarded after filming had wrapped and the studio's own plate reattached.
When I was on active duty in the USMC on Okinawa practically every little shop type store had a picture of Steve McQueen on the wall as a poster. I knew he had been in the Corps but I didn't know then or now why the Okinawans had such a fascination for him. I just checked his wiki and it said he was a pallbearer at Bruce Lee's funeral. That is probably why he was so liked by the Okinawans.
In Seattle we have many hills similar to San Francisco where Bullit was filmed. One of them is 65th St between Ballard and Greenlake. My old man just LOVED going up and down this crazy hill and he didn't mind taking his six year old kid with him. The car would land with a huge "whoomph!" every time he would hit X streets just like in the movie. When he got up to the ridge, or Greenwood Ave, he would speed through the light and go even faster down the hill. I thought this was great!
I bought a 68 Bullitt from a professional restorer. Owned it for 5 years. The car was original and almost too nice to drive. Firefighters used to give me thumbs up. People seemed to drive a bit more reckless around me when I drove it.
The running joke of this movie is that Papa loved collecting and tinkering with mechanical devices but it's demonstrated over and over that he couldn't operate a real vehicle worth $#it and he ends up behind the wheel of some real dogs. So they cast Steve McQueen who in real life ran the wheels off all kinds of 2 and 4 wheel racers. Damn shame is that he looked so well in this movie and it was his last.

@@WilliamKing-hf8lc I did that for my mother . She also had COPD .She lived to be 90 years old .COPD was listed on death certificate as a contributing factor , heart failure was the main reason . It's an awful thing watching someone struggling to breathe . I can only imagine how Mr. McQueen suffered reading what I have about the last months of his life . I hope I have the courage to fight like he did . I've heard it said that smoking has nothing to do with mesothelioma since it attacks the linning of the lungs . I have a lot of good memories watching McQueen movies with my father . He dies in 1998 aged 72 . I remember coming home from the funeral .I turned on the TV and Pappillion was on . I'm glad for you that you was able to be a caregiver for him . It's an awful thing to watch someone that was once so strong waste away day by day . His faith made it a liitle easier to watch him go . Thanks
I read a book about the life of Steve McQueen, in the book it said he was actually getting better. He had surgery to remove a benign tumor from his stomach, the surgery went well, and as he was in the recovery room he had a anesthesia induced heart attack!
First and Last movie release was August 1, 1980 . He died Nov 07, 1980. I often wonder if he had remained healthy what his career would of been. His last 3 movies were flops . Would he of been able to find his way to the top again? faded away? , Character parts? We'll never know.
He looks ravaged. He had this blasted cancer in him. He was awkward and choosy, but i think he was worth better than character parts. He was too good. My favourite is Papillon, saw it on tv BBC just after he died January'81. @@p47thunderbolt68

@@WilliamKing-hf8lc I did that for my mother . She also had COPD .She lived to be 90 years old .COPD was listed on death certificate as a contributing factor , heart failure was the main reason . It's an awful thing watching someone struggling to breathe . I can only imagine how Mr. McQueen suffered reading what I have about the last months of his life . I hope I have the courage to fight like he did . I've heard it said that smoking has nothing to do with mesothelioma since it attacks the linning of the lungs .
I have a lot of good memories watching McQueen movies with my father . He dies in 1998 aged 72 . I remember coming home from the funeral .I turned on the TV and Pappillion was on . I'm glad for you that you was able to be a caregiver for him . It's an awful thing to watch someone that was once so strong waste away day by day . His faith made it a liitle easier to watch him go .
Thanks
I read a book about the life of Steve McQueen, in the book it said he was actually getting better. He had surgery to remove a benign tumor from his stomach, the surgery went well, and as he was in the recovery room he had a anesthesia induced heart attack!
All I can focus on is how McQueen is dressed exactly like Jack Bauer in Day 2
thedudetoast1 how Jack Bauer is dressed like him.
It's his nephew, Mr Thorson. Cracked me up.
Rick from Pawn Stars bought that Chevy McQueen's using. He was a huge fan.
Then he flipped it , if I recall.
one of best Actors that i like ,the Trans Am give Car Keys back Szene best
I'm Glad the Hunter Not Tom Horn was His Last Movie, May He R.I.P.
Back then not everyone would grasp the suggestion the bowl of flour leads to.
King of cool!

McQueen would pass away a little more than three months after the release of this film. Sadly, he looks pretty tired in this film.
I'm watching Autopsy the Last days of Steve McQueen and it said he was sick while filming this.
Is The entire movie online somewhere?
Just like in the getaway! U run the job but I run the show and don't u forget it!!
His last film. He was only 50 when he died.
Guys like him are like 57 chevys . They don’t make them any more .
"What do I do?"
Fix the warp drive and shut up.
@JDMAero My Dad had one just like it,same color but a hardtop.
❤❤❤
I wonder does anyone know the name of the score in this clip??
That’s Mr. Miyagi’s car!!!
McQueen was dying of cancer when this was made. He died just after it's release.
First and Last movie release was August 1, 1980 . He died Nov 07, 1980. I often wonder if he had remained healthy what his career would of been. His last 3 movies were flops . Would he of been able to find his way to the top again? faded away? , Character parts? We'll never know.
his face looked ill in tom horn
First and Last xx 😒
He looks ravaged. He had this blasted cancer in him. He was awkward and choosy, but i think he was worth better than character parts. He was too good. My favourite is Papillon, saw it on tv BBC just after he died January'81. @@p47thunderbolt68
@BigBishop1 ok will do
Jordy before he got his 😎
love tom horn
Good Movie, Bad Ending But True Story.
That 216 6 in that chevrolet got a work out with all that weight ...and probably still on the road 2023 ...lmao
Damn lavar was just a kid
Geordi time traveled back to 1980 and got all caught up in a mess
so sad he died in Mexico, alone and unrecognized. He was desperate.
His wife and 2 children were there.
Sadly no mention of his participation at the March on Washington in 1963.
Well it would kind of distract from the story don't you think?
Never thought he was one of them, well well!
