The chase sequence takes place over several non-contiguous streets in and south of San Francisco. The sequence starts under Highway 101 in the Mission District. When the Charger does a U-turn on Precita Avenue to follow the Mustang, a storage tank on Potrero Hill, in the southeast part of San Francisco, is visible in the distance. The next few scenes are in the Bernal and Potrero areas; you can see green hills to the southwest on the horizon in one shot, and a quick view of downtown San Francisco to the northwest in another. Twenty-one seconds later, and five miles away, Coit Tower appears in the Mustang's front window to the east (as can be ascertained by the buildings' shadows). They then come to a stop for two cable cars at Hyde and Filbert Streets. The twin towers of Sts. Peter and Paul Church are visible just to the right of Coit Tower. They turn hard left onto Columbus Avenue, a four-lane street with a concrete median. A F-type street car is seen coming the opposite direction. They top a rise and Alcatraz Island comes into view slightly on the left, placing them at about Stockton and Chestnut. They turn north, then west, then south, headed uphill. In the next cut, they are suddenly going downhill, north towards the Bay. The next few scenes are different camera angles that capture the same sequence as the two cars head downhill and turn west off the same street. This is obvious, due to the repeated presence of the same Cadillac, and a green Volkswagen Beetle that is seen three times. They complete this sequence by turning west in front of the same Caddy towards the bay, a few blocks north of Van Ness. They turn left or south, going uphill, and then the scene cuts to the cars headed downhill or north on Larkin Street, before they turn west onto Francisco Street. In the next clip, the Dodge has leapt six blocks across Van Ness, and is headed north on Laguna Street. They turn from Laguna Street, in front of Ft. Mason, onto Marina Boulevard, in front of a Safeway store. (The bottom of the store's name can be seen as the Dodge veers onto Marina.) They accelerate down Marina Boulevard with the Marina Green and the Golden Gate Bridge briefly visible in the background. In the next cut, Ft. Mason is again visible in the background as they turn once more onto Marina Boulevard. In the next clip, they pass in front of the Safeway again. The next cut puts them eight miles away, back in the Vistacion Valley district, turning right from University Street on to Mansell Street. From there, they leap three miles to the entrance of the Guadelupe Canyon Parkway on San Bruno Mountain in Daly City, heading east. To extend the length of the chase, the cars are shown driving east then west and back and forth, while supposedly heading only one way, before the Charger crashes at the Parkway's eastern exit in Brisbane.
