Couple of funky nuggets here - Ted Lavine who played the cop with the moustache, Bosco who was killed in the bank shootout plays Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. One of director Michael Mann's earlier projects was a TV movie Manhunter which was the story of Red Dragon, the story before Silence of the Lambs (featuring Brian Cox as Lector) which had Tom Noonan as "The Tooth Fairy" whom was also in Heat as Kelso, the genius in the wheelchair that sold them the bank heist. So you have both Buffalo Bill and the Tooth Fairy in Heat.

Another is you have Dennis Haysbert and Xander Berkeley who would both later appear in 24.

Incredible movie. The most realistic urban gun fight scene. I think the sound was nominated for an Oscar. I don't recall if it won. But that scene is...the benchmark.

I like the June announcement. A tad horror, should be interesting. Think that was said on Instagram or somewhere, not here. lol, She has no clue who's who probably there. I had a left over (love Christmas) Chevy Chase "Christmas Vacation" profile avatar. Now its just a whacky with Einstein NYC wax museum pic. We had a blast there. But yea, I think next week also maybe, she mentioned a few. Cause I was sick sick, (still a 3rd doctors re check left.) But Heat is OK this week. But this June/summer horror, will see?

Sadly, not even a single Oscar nod for HEAT. The sound lineup that year was: APOLLO 13 (winner) BATMAN FOREVER BRAVEHEART (sound fx win) CRIMSON TIDE WATERWORLD

Thank you for reacting to one of my favourite movies; the video was pretty much all I hoped it would be. Your responses all across the three hours reminded me why/how HEAT is such a hard-hitting masterpiece.

EBMORGAN

Hmmmm...damn...I thought it got a technical nod. Well, should have. That scene is shockingly visceral in good cans or a big home theater rig. So much detail. You can hear bullets ricocheting, have depth and direction. It's so good.

If I was forced to pick an all time favorite movie, I think this is it for me. Everything is perfect; acting (aside from Ashley Judd), cinematography score, writing, directing...I loved it all. The shootout, Val Kilmer's handling of his weapon especially, has been used by armed forces to show proper technique. Man, I just love this movie so much.

Here's a good breakdown of why the shootout is so heralded: https://taskandpurpose.com/entertainment/most-realistic-movie-firefight-heat/ Also, a lot of people don't realize the characters of McCauley and Hanna were based on real people. Heat is based on the true story of Neil McCauley, a calculating criminal and ex-Alcatraz inmate who was tracked down by Detective Chuck Adamson in 1964.[9][10] In 1961, McCauley was transferred from Alcatraz to McNeil, as mentioned in the film. When he was released, in 1962, he immediately began planning new heists. With Michael Parille and William Pinkerton, they used bolt cutters and drills to burgle a manufacturing company of diamond drill bits, a scene which is recreated in the film.[11] Detective Chuck Adamson, upon whom Al Pacino's character is largely based, began keeping tabs on McCauley's crew around this time, knowing that he had become active again. The two even met for coffee once, just as portrayed in the film.[10] Their dialogue in the script was based on the conversation that McCauley and Adamson had.[11] The next time the two met, guns were drawn, just as the movie portrays.[10] On March 25, 1964, McCauley and members of his regular crew followed an armored car that delivered money to a National Tea grocery store at 4720 S. Cicero Avenue, Chicago.[12] Once the drop was made, three of the robbers entered the store. They threatened the clerks and stole money bags worth $13,137[12] (equivalent to $115,000 in 2021) before they sped off in a rainstorm amid a hail of police gunfire.[10][11] McCauley's crew was unaware that Adamson and eight other detectives had blocked off all potential exits, and when the getaway car turned down an alley and the robbers saw the blockade, they realized they were trapped. All four exited the vehicle and began firing. Two of his crew, Russell Bredon (Breaden) and Parille, were slain in an alley while a third man, Miklos Polesti (on whom Chris Shiherlis is very loosely based),[10] shot his way out and escaped. McCauley was shot to death on the lawn of a nearby home. He was 50 years old and the prime suspect in several burglaries.[13] Polesti was caught days later and sent to prison. As of 2011 Polesti was still alive.

When someone has to explain a movie, it usually means it's a crap movie, which I already knew.

Dean Holt

Enjoyed watching Heat again a few days ago as it’s been a while since I’ve seen it also another brilliant reaction video 👍. Looking forward to seeing what you think of Full Metal Jacket but not 100% sure if you will like it or not.

Ria Grix

It does a good job of conveying that grey area between good and bad (which is where a lot of real people actually live their lives) You find yourself rooting for the bad guys at some points, not liking the good guys at some points and the ending is just inevitable rather than ‘the good guys always win’

Stick Figure Studios

For me, this is Michael Mann's masterpiece. A gritty but still slick and stylish urban crime drama with a smart script, interesting characters, one of the most viscerally terrifying shootouts in the history of Cinema and phenomenal performances from everyone in the cast, but particularly from the two powerhouse actors of their generation who are on screen together for the first time. My dad took me to the theater to see this when I was an adolescent and I loved it so much I want to see it a second time with a friend.

Anthony Vawser

So, Craig, according to your logic, any film that receives, like, an in-depth review is usually crap?

Just Plain Bob

Cassie, for a very different heist movie also starring Robert DeNiro, check out The Score. It's a really underrated gem of a movie.

Seymor Butz

I think Cassie would have liked The Thomas Crown Affair ten times more.

Al Swearengen

Maybe someone can jog my memory here. There was an infamous shootout in the streets of L.A. in the 90s. The perp wore body armor and used machine guns. I think civilians were killed. Pretty sure some cops were killed. Wasn't the shootout in this movie loosely based on this. Or was the real life shootout a copycat of the movie? Or maybe there's no connection and I'm misremembering.

Mike Lemon

Yep, but it got 4th in the poll (which Heat wasn't in since it was declared an automatic winner). Maybe some day.

Steve Holton

The North Hollywood shootout, which escalated militarization on both sides of urban law enforcement occurred after this film in 1997. Investigators later discovered the perpetrators watched the shootout scene in this movie over and over for inspiration. No police died, the perpetrators were killed at the scene.

Al Swearengen

He wasn't explaining the movie, Copernicus. He was detailing the real life events the movie was based on.

Ryan

and...she would like the Love Story...which isnt bad at all...

Just Plain Bob

Hey Cassie! In case no one else has mentioned it, Ted Levine (who plays Detective Mike Bosko) previously starred as Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

Damon

The police were outgunned having only their standard duty issued 9MM and shotguns while the robbers had illegally modified automatic weapons. Even the SWAT team's weapons had little impact because of the body armor the robbers wore. Then, a gun shop owner opened up his store to provide weapons (AR 15s) for the police and that evened the playing field.

Philip Alan

@Steve Holton - just to be clearer. One perp was killed, the other committed suicide on scene.

Steve Holton

Good point @Philip Alan. BTW I’ve enjoyed your work for years. Everyone should check out the great work of talented photographer Philip Alan.

Philip Alan

What the heck? I never thought I'd run into anyone who follows my photography here! Thank you so much!
