The thing about them firing too many bullets before changing out the mag….are they really supposed to show every single reload or is it just kinda implied that they’re reloading but it happens mostly off screen? I didn’t try to count the rounds they fired off before the screen cuts to the next shot but I’ll give it a try.

Umm, in the gif above you can see Kilmer using astandard mag, aka30 rounds. YOu can see the mag here:https://youtu.be/goh-ytMvjcw?t=124

Also, I haven't counted, but I highly doubt they "fired 90 shots". I'm pretty damn sure they only fired what they actually had in their mags in real life, hence all the reloading.

And they were putting down suppressing fire, not trying to snipe. Even the SAS/actually military dudes who watch it say its 100% accurate, and use it in training.

Not sure where you're getting all this false info from...

"Chris and Michael are the first to exit the car, and they immediately move behind the cover of cars in the road. While maintaining good dispersion, they lay down a blistering hail of suppressive fire on the officers and force them to take cover. “Go!” Chris yells to Neil, who then runs closer to the roadblock and finds his own cover.

What is happening here is literally a textbook Marine rifleman tactic: “fire and movement consists of individuals or fire teams providing covering fire while other individuals or fire teams advance toward the enemy or assault the enemy position.”

They continue the leapfrog maneuver with great success. Though they briefly communicate (“Go!”), Chris and Michael mainly follow their team leader (Neil), who acts as a fighter-leader for the unit. And as they get closer to the police blockade, the bank robbers’ bullets are more accurate and lethal. They have walked into an ambush and are successfully fighting their way out."

This is rated the Best shootout scene in any movie, They filmed that in Downtown LA.

Ashley Judd was perfect looking in this and A Time to Kill.

Crazy what she turned into.

She’s alright but I’m just not feelin her. Far from perfect looking.

So there's a sequel in the works? I could swear I heard not too long ago it was *prequel* Mann was working on.

There's a Heat 2 novel

The sound the design is one of the things that makes this scene so good. No ****ty hyped music, just screams and raw noisy gun sound. There is some suspense music in the beginning, but it stops after the shooting begins.
