\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

As you may have gathered we’re McQueen geeks. We like to regularly share a dose of cultural artefacts that feature the great man – and by now we’ve worked lots of angles on the king of cool.<\/p>\n

But for some reason we had forgotten ever to mention his last ever movie.<\/p>\n

The Hunter<\/strong> was the 1980 swansong for the profoundly petrol-headed actor. Though it certainly was neither a classic, nor a truly fitting way to end a majestic movie career, it had many plus points.<\/p>\n

Our Steve plays a bounty hunter travelling around the states trying to track down bail jumpers – a typically anti-heroic role that he played with that trademark mix of straightforward cool and bloke-ish humour. It’s well-shot and there are a number of funny, characterful support performances.<\/p>\n

There is something of the Smokey & The Bandit<\/a> about it – but that’s not at all a bad thing.<\/p>\n

For us of course the main reason to track down this film is to check out the way Steve wears the MA1 flight jacket <\/a>and jean combo with complete aplomb.<\/p>\n

And of course, the way that Steve’s rented Trans Am<\/a> gets wrecked.<\/p>\n

Now that’s what we call a crop circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
