BBC Launches Classic Muscle Cars on San Francisco Street, We Cry

A film crew from the BBC recently decided that launching a Pontiac GTO (which we hope is a replica) and a Mercury Montego cop car off a ramp and down a San Francisco street would be pretty cool. While stunting is a vital part of every chase scene, sometimes it's a bit like knowing how sausage is made — you're better off in the dark. Even though we're sure this will be spectacular on screen, we just won't be able to shake the image of Steve McQueen ramping the bejesus out of his Mustang in Bullitt — or the tears coming to our eyes at the thought of the damage done to these two beautiful boats.
