Bullitt (1968)


* In the car chase the baddies and Steve McQueen actually drive past 2 cars (1 is a green vw beetle) at least 3 times. - oddity

* The hub caps come off the charger, but then are back on again later in the scene. - randy lee

* There's the mysterious case of the hubcaps that come off one car in the famous chase scene. There's one, two, three and finally two at once, which makes five wheels.





Vanishing Point (1971)


*
All through the movie, the Dodge Challenger that Kowalski is driving sports Chrysler factory "road" wheels. - Travis v.

* During the final crash scene, though, the wheels have mysteriously changed to a cheaper chrome reverse style! I guess they wanted to save money! (Of course, several versions of the car were actually used in the movie).
o Addition: It has been pointed out that the 1970 Challenger changes wheels for the end crash. But what happens is not a wheel-change, but a whole car-change. It is easily visible on screen. It's common knowledge among Challenger fans that the car wrecked at the end of the film is a 1967 Chevy Camaro. - Miked

* In one of the scenes of Kowalski in the desert (close-up), he appears to be driving a right hand drive Dodge Challenger ! (VHS) - Amar Haddadi

* (Continuity) In the last crash scene were the Challenger is destroyed it is not a Challenger at all, instead it is a 67-69 Camaro. When you see the hood come flying off you can clearly see the change. This was done to save the Challenger, Camaros were a lot cheaper. (VHS) - monte j.

Magnum Force (1973)

* Although the damage to movie cars many times is not consistent as the movie progresses, this has to rate as one of the worst. Watch the blue LTD at the end of the movie, it his motorcycles and other objects, but the damage is lessened is subsequent shots. At one point, the crew has to cut sheet metal for the car to move, you see neat linear cuts around the front wheels and radiator. - Selsdon

* When Harry shoots the second hijacker from a distance of about 20 - 25 feet, he never approaches the body to remove and safeguard the hijacker's gun, or to make sure the hijacker's dead.- Kieth Moreland

* When the pool party is ambushed, one guest in a robe will be shot and he'll break a window. The wires attached to his squib (exploding bullet/blood pack) are visible. - Kieth Moreland

* When the pimp is killed, the killer will fire only FIVE times. Yet, later in the crime lab, they'll have a set of SIX wires and pencils set up in the car's ddorway to re-create the bullet trajectories. - Kieth Moreland
