For the purist, or anyone who demands to see the actual film as made, no. The missing frames do not affect the storyline, but create an odd cut. As an aside, re-visiting the chase sequence in Bullitt reminds me of the deficiencies of home theater and screen size. The Bullitt chase, when compared to the elevated railway chase in The French Connection, comes off as a bit less visceral when viewed in a small screen. On a theatrical size viewing surface, the Bullitt sequence holds it own, with the sheer weight and mass of the cars coming to the fore. An interesting anomaly.Originally Posted by Kriztoffer Swank
Huh. So I take it this isn't worth the $9, even with the few missing frames? Was just about to buy it.
