In Shang-Chi, the titular protagonist and his best friend Katy are confronted on board a 1 California bus by Razor Fist and other members of the Ten Rings, who attempt to steal a pendant from Shang-Chi. As they fight, Razor Fist partially slices through the articulation joint of the articulated bus, disabling the brakes and sending the bus downhill through Nob Hill. The bus begins to split apart, while Shang-Chi fights the Ten Rings, and as Katy attempts to regain control of the bus. At a crucial moment, Shang-Chi pulls the stop request cord, signaling Katy to intentionally split the bus and leave Razor Fist behind in the back half. The front of the bus crashes into a row of parked cars outside Ghirardelli Square.Hartlaub Peter August 23, 2021 Review: ‘Shang-Chi’ — and its S.F. bus chase — make good transfer to Marvel Universe https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/review-shang-chi-and-its-s-f-bus-chase-make-good-transfer-to-marvel-universe 2024-07-31 Datebook en-USGentile Dan September 3, 2021 Why Marvel’s new blockbuster ‘Shang-Chi’ had to be shot in San Francisco’s Richmond District https://www.sfgate.com/streaming/article/shang-chi-marvel-san-francisco-muni-bus-chase-16431818.php 2024-07-30 SFGATE The 1 California bus in Shang-Chi featured the logos of the fictional "SFT" transit agency instead of the real Muni "worm" logo, as Muni did not want their brand associated with the destruction of the action sequence. Much of the scene was filmed in a studio in Australia, with exterior shots filming on location in San Francisco in October 2020. The route of the fictional 1 California was generally accurate, with modifications made to feature the Stockton Street Tunnel and Ghirardelli Square, neither of which are destinations on the real 1 California.Fitzgerald Rodriguez Joe 2021-09-03 In ‘Shang-Chi,’ a Muni Line Made Possible by Chinatown Community Advocacy https://www.kqed.org/arts/13902470/shang-chi-bus-fight-chase-muni-chinatown-san-francisco 2024-07-31 KQED en The chase scene on the 1 California was well-received, with San Francisco Chronicle critic Peter Hartlaub describing it as the second-best San Francisco car chase scene of all time, second only to Bullitt (1968).
