Saw it was on Hulu.

Forgot how epic this movie is....I always knew it was good, but I hadn't seen it in 15+ yrs, and the bank shootout is so epic with how loud the guns are. Pretty cool that Val Kilmer was a gun enthusiast(RIP).

Would love if they remastered the movie in 4k, and played it in theaters the shootout scene would be legendary. Or has this been done already?

Kinda reminded me of Sicario Border scene although the Heat scene is much superior.

F--k Neil McCauley

Cool it slick....and no more refill

Post to thread correlation off the charts

You want an amazing experience?

Watch it on a 75in TV on 4k with surround sound srs

HEAT is one of the most realistic gun fights in the history of hollywood.

SRS.


THe military even uses it as a training video, it was done so well.



Every few years I watch the downtown shootout scene blasting loud, because of its realism.

They used REAL guns and real blank bullets, so the echoes and soudns were 100% real

One of the intense action scenes in Michael Mann’s neo-noir epic Heat is so realistic it’s been used by the United States Marines in weapons training. Heat is a taut cat-and-mouse thriller starring Al Pacino as Vincent Hanna, an obsessive LAPD lieutenant, and Robert De Niro as Neil McCauley, the notorious bank robber he’s desperate to catch. This marked the first time Pacino and De Niro appeared on-screen together; they’d both acted in parallel timelines in The Godfather Part II, but they didn’t share scenes in a movie until they made Heat.

Michael Mann's Heat has been lauded as one of the greatest and most influential movies in the action genre, with some of the most iconic set-pieces ever put on film. Its influence can be seen in everything from The Dark Knight to the video game Grand Theft Auto V. Hanna and McCauley are two of Mann’s most memorable characters, and his masterful direction puts the audience in their shoes during Heat’s thrilling action scenes. One of those sequences in Heat was so visceral and engaging that the Marines started screening it for their recruits as a spot-on example of grace under fire.

After McCauley and his crew seem to successfully pull off another bank robbery, they’re intercepted by Hanna and the LAPD out on the street, leading to a gunfight. This shootout sequence was so authentic and so detailed that it has been shown to U.S. Marine recruits as an example of perfect form under gunfire (via Esquire). In a behind-the-scenes featurette about Heat’s L.A. bank heist gunfight sequence, Val Kilmer says he had heard that when the moment his character reloads, Marine trainers tell recruits, “If you can’t change a clip as fast as this actor, get out of my army!”

he same behind-the-scenes featurette goes into great detail about how the shootout sequence in Heat was pulled off and the intensive training that went into it. Mann says, “I wanted everybody really well-trained so that they felt that they could actually do what the characters in this film do.” Ex-Special Air Service sergeant Andy McNab and ex-Special Forces instructor Mick Gould developed a three-month plan for the actors. They curated different curriculums for the actors playing bank robbers and the actors playing cops. On the shooting range, the actors who'd be playing police officers worked with real police officers.

Mann jokes, “Some of the actors [in Heat’s surprisingly star-studded cast] thought they knew how to handle weapons [before the training] and they were disabused of that notion.” Pacino says he’d “never experienced anything like this.” The cast’s extensive training included a whole day of safety training before anyone was allowed to fire a single round. They then spent three months training with McNab and Gould. The production team built a replica of the street on which the shootout would take place, to scale, on the sheriff’s range. The actors did the whole scene with live rounds on the range before filming it with blanks in downtown L.A.

When it came to the actual shoot, and the actors were well-versed in proper firearm use, they went through 800 to 1,000 rounds per take. Heat's sound mixers used the on-set gunfire sounds instead of replacing the gunshots with Hollywood sound effects. According to Mann, “Nothing artificial could come close to delivering the fear of the sound that the full load made moving through those automatic weapons and the way the sound ricocheted off the walls.” The echo of the gunshots is one of the biggest reasons why this sequence in Heat feels so hauntingly real.

No joke I've actually been looking to upgrade my T.V. have a 65 inch LG, but have had it for almost 10 yrs now.

Any suggestions? Was looking at a Sony Bravia 2 LED 4k

Whoa! Didn't know they were making a Heat 2 damn

Will def read thanks!

man that scene has to be one of the if not the greatest action scenes ever put on film

The last couple years I've made an effort to watch 90's film and some movies that were not so popular, and got a cult following since Hollywood has been permanently compromised.

Some movies I've watched or rewatched from the epic 90's

Falling Down

True Romance

Strange Days



I shed a tear every time I realize Hollywood will never be the same again making movies.
