I was in Target last night picking up some random crap and seeing if that copy of HOUSE OF THE DEAD OVERKILL that's sitting in clearance is down to under $20 yet and I saw that they've got a new "hip t-shirt" area. Most of them are the usual jumped-the-shark retro stuff, but I'll be damned if they didn't have a freaking BULLITT shirt. And it's not one of those stupid appropriated-by-a-graphic-designer ripoffs, it's an official Steve McQueen product.
It's a pretty nice design on a distressed, black-and-gray shirt. Big silhouette image of McQueen on the front as on the BULLITT poster with the shoulder holsters. The back has a big image of the Mustang.
Not a bad fashion purchase for $12.99, just not sure if the target demographic even knows who the hell Steve McQueen is.
I'm going to keep checking, maybe they'll turn up with a FRENCH CONNECTION tee next.

Now, if they had a "The Bad" shirt with Van Cleef on it...

They actually had an Eastwood shirt too, but I didn't like it. Drawing of Eastwood, text- "The Good".
Now, if they had a "The Bad" shirt with Van Cleef on it...
I'd go for an Eli Wallach shirt myself.

So, how long do you guys think it'll be before Bullitt gets a reboot?
Also, I fucking love Bullitt.
Call me an asshole , but I don't think Bullitt should ever be remade. I know for a fact that a remake would never hold up to the original- not in today's Hollywood. Plus it would be, like, I don't know... sacrilrigeous or something.
Who the hell would take McQueen's place? And, how many ways could they possibly screw up THE chase scene?

It's interesting to me that BULLITT predates DIRTY HARRY and THE FRENCH CONNECTION yet it takes a TOTALLY different approach to the hot-headed, maverick cop thing. Bullitt is subtly counterculture (check out his posters the next time you see it), and he comes off as a good guy that just happens to be on the right side of the law. And in the late 1960s, the law and counterculture were very much at odds. Then, a couple of years later, we get the psychopathic/facistic/ultra right wing cops in DIRTY HARRY and THE FRENCH CONNECTION. It's an interesting social angle.
