It was a great chase scene, but many mistakes. Notice the charger threw off 6 or 7 wheel covers and that street in San Francisco seems to go on forever. The reason was that San Francisco only allowed them to close the street for one shot at it and they had 7 cameras all at different spots filming it. The Green Volkswagen that is in the hill shot was not supposed to be in it as he drove through the street block and they wouldn't let them shoot it over to get him out. Also the Mustang wasn't the primary car as they had brought a Fairlane to use but the engineers told them the Fairlane would break into if they drove it over those intersections like that. And just before the Charger goes into the 3 wall gas station, if you look close you can see the hitch on the right front of the Mustangs bumper that was holding it until the stunt driver pulled the release. Same thing there. The plywood phony gas station was out toward the airport and they only got one shot at it so they had to blow the car up even though it missed the pumps. But it is still in MHO the first of the great car chase scenes.
