With the enduring Best.Movie.Chase.Scene.Ever, Bullitt has helped plant the Mustang seed in the minds of the folks who weren’t around in 1968, although the car continues to resonate today because it’s a stylish survivor of the Dark Ages: the energy crisis, government regulation, and the like.
In the case of a certain kid out of film school, the Mustang is “cool,” “slick,” and “sexy,” and the perfect vehicle for The Cliché RC Action Chase.
Since February 2013, Zach King’s video has received nearly 3 million hits on YouTube, but he just released another video, this time called RC Movie Magic: Filming a Chase. In it he talks about his experience with the Mustang and how it achieved a prominent role in his film.
