Of all the excellent car chases in cinema history, the Dodge Charger (http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/charger) vs. Ford Mustan (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang)g battle in Steve McQueen's Bullit (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bullit) may be the most recreated. Now it looks like the crew from the TV show Alcatraz has tried its hand at paying homage to the hubcap slinging sequence. According to local news station KTVU Channel 2, the new FOX series recently spent hours on San Francisco's Bay and Larkin streets in an attempt to painstakingly replicate each legendary scene using modern interpretations of the famous bruisers in the 1968 film. The final product will be part of the Alcatraz season finale, set to air on March 26.
We've seen the Bullit chase replicated for questionable music videos (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/06/music-video-recreates-bullitt-chase-scene-for-unknown-reason/) and with stop-motion animation (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/15/video-bullitt-chase-scene-being-recreated-in-1-32-scale/), but this is the first time in recent memory a TV show has tackled putting Mopar power against the now iconic Highland Green Mustang. Alcatraz is the brainchild of executive producer J.J. Abrams, and features three investigators as they look into why 302 of Alcatraz prison's most foul prisoners and guards have suddenly reappeared in modern-day San Francisco.
