Its an epic film. On par with cool hand Luke.

One of the best movies ever

I was just watching it last night. Hard to believe it was based on a real-life character.

Boy that movie was good . Steve in that movie proved his greatness in Papillion.

It could be being made now .... on the other side. We will see them both there....eventually.

Why would it, scare you???

No disrespect to Steve but Newman was a hard act to follow. BOTH were fabulous. As great as they were, to use a old quote, I "wouldn't want to have to live off of the difference".

@@garyfaught3769 I agree

A real con artist. He did get the last line in the picture. LOL

From Germany, How about that!

Thank you.

He did a PHENOMENAL job in The Sand Pebbles. Great film, and though set in the 1920s, it was very relevant of the times when released in 1966. His character, Jake Holman, was rough around the edges, but a good hearted man. And as you mentioned, Mako did a great job as well...great film....

He played very well off Candace Bergen.

Paul Newman was way cooler than McQueen, IMHO...

But James Dean, was gay🤔. Zero 'cool gays', in the Hollywood, productions.

'STEVEN' McQueen !

McQueen hated the film and when the producers gave him a choice of a straight salary ($12k) or 10% of the film's gross, he took the salary. Little did he realize that the film would ultimately gross $4 million which would have given him $400k.

@@HerrEllsworth really, that is a kicker...but Steve made out later..suppose he learned a lesson

Good!! Someone else, with taste😁!!!

I read they wouldn't let him jump the fences himself in The Great Escape because it was too dangerous. They had someone else do the jumping. I am sure he was disappointed. You know he would have loved to jump them himself.

I don't care for the Towering Inferno online game. You never win. 😜

I did not know that.

@@TheLifeandSadEnding He was a stunt driver, his name was Bill Hickman.

I have a friend who grew up in Sweden. At about age 12 he and his classmates saw Bullitt. Swedish kids at that time thought that if you lived in San Francisco all you needed to do was sit by the road to see cars flinhing through the air at 100 mph.

The Seven Ups runs a very, close 2nd. Another one of my all-time fav movies.

I do not ride dirt bikes.

Wow, I did. That was one of my favorites.

@@TheLifeandSadEndingHe wasn’t in it u 🤡

@@TheLifeandSadEndingOmg, he wasn’t in it. Get your facts straight.

He was not a member of the cast.

Not Cool.

A great actor. I could see why he was somewhat intimidated by Paul Newman but he definitely held his own in the talent category. I wonder if Newman and McQueen ever competed for the same role. I thought McQueen had more of a rakish charm plus good looks. Newman was a gorgeous man but he seemed to be so well grounded. I couldn’t see McQueen as Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but Newman had the golden boy good looks that were perfect for the role. And I don’t think Newman would have been believable as the detective in Bullitt. McQueen had that smoldering, semi-controlled rage that was perfect for that role.

I haven’t watched the video yet, so I’m not sure if he touched on this, but McQueen used to wrap his face in a rag after he dipped it in asbestos while he raced so if he got in an accident, his face wouldn’t burn because he was an actor. It was this rag dripped in asbestos that caused him to have mesothelioma.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death for men and women in the US. There are so many forms of lung cancer. So sad!

He was exposed to asbestos when was younger as suits wore for driving race cars had lining made of it and was working on ships with asbestos on pipes but smoking could have contributed to his lung cancer as well.

Yes, of course, all those years of heavy smoking had nothing to do with his lungs demise; what a foolish premise

Years ago, a large fund was established for payment of money damages to mesothelioma victims. The advertisements you see on TV are for law firms that examine the qualifications of claimants to receive compensation from the fund. My father received some compensation since he'd been a merchant seaman (like McQueen).

U.S.Patent No. D219,813. A design patent that protects only ornamental features of a seat structure. Not a big deal at all.

You work your side of the street…I’ll work mine.

No, his Doctors told him that his condition was terminal and nothing could have saved him then he went to Mexico under an alias to have the surgery his doctors told him he couldn’t survive, and died soon afterwards. I guess he thought - hell l got nothing to lose by trying.

Religion is nothing but mumbo jumbo.
