This is one of my favorite movies of all time, I actually own the digital copy on youtube and watch this scene all the time lol. About 4 years ago it was playing in a theater called TIFF Bell Lightbox in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada which is near where I live. I bought 5 tickets and brought 4 of my good friends with me (2 of whom had never seen it before) and treated them all to this masterpiece. Watching it in a theatre was a lifelong dream of mine and when I saw the promo for it I couldn't believe my eyes! It was magical and this scene was UNREAL! It don't get no better than De Niro and Al Pacino going head to head like this. Michael Mann's best!
This is still the most realistic shootout of any hollywood movie I've ever seen. The tactics are sound, the reloads are believable, and the acting is top notch. You just don't see it like this anymore.
It was the technical adviser of the film for these scenes was ex SAS, at the Brecon school of infantry tactics this clip is used to show fire and manoeuvre, not really as a teaching aid but just because it was a good clip on a demoralising course.
Most realistic yet they shot how many cops while in motion using (full?) auto weapons without taking a single shot until a few minutes later? This scene was inspired by an LA bank robbery from the early 90s where assailants wore full body armor that stopped all 9mm rounds. So where is the body armor in this Hollywood re-interpretation? Then you have Al Pacino on the move as he shoots a running suspect whose carrying a little girl, but Pacino gets a perfect head shot, of course. It couldn't possibly be less real.
@@jasonremedios6625 ONLY if there is no other alternative to end the shootout and the officer has a clear shot. He did have a clear shot for that brief second when Tom’s character turned to face him and it was just enough.
If you tink this scene is realistic now, you cannot even imagine how it felt when this dropped back then. Heat was completely another level among all action flicks before.

I loved the movies he was in but can't escape how much of an ahole he was: History of alleged aggressive behavior towards women In 2003, Sizemore was convicted of domestic violence against his girlfriend, Heidi Fleiss, and was also given three years probation and ordered to undergo anger management counseling at that time, states CNN. Fleiss said in a statement in 2003, she "loved that man and I was very good to him and what he did to me was wrong. I want to pretend I never met him." In 2009, he was arrested again on charges of domestic violence against his fiance, who was not identified, and was held on bail of $20,000, reports Reuters. In 2016, he was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence, reports USA Today. In 2017, The Hollywood Reporter reported that he was removed from the set of a movie in Utah in 2003, after it was alleged that he had touched the genitals of an 11-year-old actress. Roi Maufas, who worked as a production assistant during that incident, told, "He was this guy who was already known for making inappropriate comments, being drunk, being high. We’re talking about consistent behavior, just being ‘Tom Sizemore’ on set every day," reports US Weekly.

@@peterabram62 Never knew that bit of information, but I could tell they had a weapons specialist/choreographer that knew what they were doing. One of the most realistic aspects of this scene is in the way that the accuracy of gunfire is portrayed.

The truth is, most rounds fired in a high stress situation miss, regardless of how well the shooter can put groupings on a paper target. "Fight or Flight", and all that. Heat demonstrated this fact superbly, in my opinion.
Still one of thee best A-list casting performances in any Cop/robber films ever made. Cinematography ideas was very advanced way past its days. Has 2010’s vibe flavor to it. I still think it’s Al Pacino’ and Robert’s best movie to this day👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼I watch this religiously once a year.
I love the fact that they used real guns with real sounds of the weapons being fired and not just edited pew pew sounds when the guns are fired even though they’re using blanks id be scared as shit acting this out truly a work of art this scene
They were using fully loaded blanks too, most films that use blanks only use quarter or half loads in their blanks. This means the shots were extremely loud, about or the same as live ammo. You can really hear it too, all the echoing and such. When they started firing in the car through the windshield it must have been insane.
Fuckin hell, I bet it was. Movie theater bass must've been amazing in this scene. I worked in a theater when the Dark Knight came out and there's a scene in it that still gives me chills when I think of it--Joker in a stolen cop car, sticking his head out of the window. In the theater, the bass was so strong you felt it in your whole body. I think I stepped in to watch at least a dozen times ua-cam.com/video/Ftm4GdLcXsk/v-deo.html
Most retarded one. Just like you. You change magazine every 500 shots fired. You run faster than a car. All cars in traffic are selfdriving and just sits in traffic jam without any passengers. 20 cops can't hit a damn thing. Al Pacino is a perfect sniper after running 500 meters.
For anyone wondering why they walked into the bank with their masks off first, earlier in the movie they swapped the bank's alarm computers with their own circuit boards. The video cameras and alarms all turned off just before they entered the bank.
@@tabedabedu please read the first comment in thread )) there would be no point in a brutal heist like this in real life, it's just action, nothing more.
Thank you I was wondering why Val Kilmer was the last one to put on the mask with his blonde ass hair haha makes sense now. I havent seen this movie since I was around 9 with my dad (Im 27 now) such a classic piece
Every character was so strong. This was the best freaking made movie, one of the best of all time! Dinero was still cool at this time. Taxi driver and heat were his two best rolls in my opinion. God damn they just don't make them like this anymore. I wish they did!
Gotta give props to how considerate the robbers are. De Niro tells everyone that they’re money is fine and they’re only there for the bank’s stash. And even lets people that are sick or disabled lean against the wall instead of sit (completely ignoring the whole taking a child as a human shield part, of course)
supposedly, Dillinger would do a similar thing. it keeps customers from reacting, and if they're there to get fleeced by the bank, may even do the Stockholm Syndrome for them. As for worrying about health issues, that likely comes from a prior robbery where that turned into an issue--otherwise why think of it?
An incredible scene. And to think, their plan works perfectly if not for 2 mistakes: (a) hiring a loose cannon to fill in, and (b) not properly killing the loose cannon.
@@nsmcgirtThey disabled the cameras beforehand so there wouldn’t be able to ID them through cam footage. The only people who could ID them would be witnesses who remembered their face during the heist.
The mistake they made was underestimating their opponent and taking an unnecessary risk doing so. They could have moved on, hit more banks in other states. Neil was warned he was hot but he went for the big score anyway and paid the price.
Clearly, a hothead (my argument is that person is Chris for opening fire the moment he saw Hanna's face) was the difference between a perfect getaway and an overall failure by the time of the movie's climax, though alternatively, Detective Hanna showed up right at the nick of time as Chris was just about to get in the car. Hanna arguably was just as much of the difference maker for the crew's fall as Neil was for not laying low in the aftermath.
The real irony is that they were done after this score, they were all going to retire. If they had just gotten away with it, no innocent people would have died, the streets wouldn't have been turned into a warzone, it would have just been over. Hanna would have been upset that he didn't catch them but he'd move on to the next case.
One of (if not, the greatest) shootout scenes of any movie, of all time. The hardware and firepower were the real stars of the show in how they were coordinated & coreographed.
@@User_491jx6f Damn, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to see this scent on the big screen, with the huge theatre speakers. I read somewhere that Michael Man, instead of adding the gun shots in post, had set up microphones all around the downtown area and recorded the gunfight that way. So, the gun shots that we hear in the movie, were actually from the blanks fired from the actual guns. There's a clear distinction between the gun shots in "Heat", and every other movie, literally, ever made.
@@danieldevito6380 it's unbelievably good. Especially the loudness of the shots. Would you believe how Heat wasn't even nominated for an Oscar... not even for sound design/editing??! Three bloody nominations that year... Braveheart won... Ridiculous!
@@mccarthy5825 You have to admit, though, that Braveheart was pretty awesome lol... Also, those awards are meaningless. So much BS politics to into the decisions.
@@danieldevito6380 braveheart was filmed a lot in my country, Ireland. I know some army reserves used for that and Saving Private Ryan. A work colleague of mine back in early 00s was there for the whole lot of the Normandy landing shoot. He was a squad leader or something in the FCA (it was changed to something else in 05, but before then the jpke was it stood for Free Clothing Association!) Anyway apparently whatever director was in charge of them storming the beach and jumping out of the landing craft etc... They would do all the wide and establishing shots and Spielberg would do the real action stuff... So this guy was just relentless and having the guys stand in waist high cold water with aa heavy pack and badly fitting clothes for hours and hours... He often would keep them waiting and they would miss lunch and over stay the allotted time. Obviously people started getting sick and they were being paid virtually nothing... So one day they do a shot of 40-50guys, all wet and cold, running up the beach, with certain extras told to drop etc... It was like that from 9am until about 4pm and he put them back out into the water and by this time they were at breaking point. My mate Pierce (he's very briefly in a shot with Hanks) refused. Said no. We need hot food, a warm tent, a break etc. This guy comes over and is just going crazy, he had kept them waiting so long the tide had gone out to get his lunch, starts saying 'so unprofessional buddy, no wonder you Irish never fight a war, too soft etc etc etc'... Pierce loses it and says... Right I'm in charge of like 60of these guys... We are going home. I'm going to tell the FCA about this, we are being treated so bad etc etc... Half an hour later he is talking to someone and gets a tap on the shoulder... Its Spielberg. He takes him to a production trailer,assistant makes him a coffee and apologises, says he is going to personally make sure the lads are treated better and asked would he sit down in this shot where Hanks walks by etc. Was apparently genuinely concerned that they were treated bad and after thhe majority of that FCA group were done, Spielberg, Hanks, Sizemore, Ribisi, Pepper and some veterans, all gave them a round of applause... He wasn't on the shoot for Braveheart but knew people in the FCA that were and said that Mel was an amazing guy, very approachable, funny, always making jokes, had lunch with the lads etc... I've a good story about Mel too.... So about 10 years ago I spent a weekend at a tattoo convention in Cork with this awesome dancer and actor named Raul... The guy who played the main bad guy in Apocalypto. You know with the jawbone on his shoulders... A class guy, really cool, really down to earth... Just a lovely person. And he told me that Mel is really terrified of bugs and spiders and creepy crawlies. Really hates em. So because a lot of it was shot in the jungle, especially the chase and all... there were many little things scurrying around with many legs! Mel ordered in some gas bombs to clear out patches of the jungle of insects for production tents and the like... But someone fecked up... The gas went off and after 10 mins stuff began to fall out of the lush jungle canopy... But then it got louder... Some big bangs... Apparently besides insects... Huge spiders, snakes, all kinds of monkeys and birds etc were dropping down too because the gas worked TOO well! Not only that but no one ever thought of how the humidity and all would affect all the dead things... So things started rotting... The smell after a few days was apparently so bad, the native workers and people who LIVED in the jungle were really sick from the rotting stench! 😂 Not only that but it attracted a ton of wildlife because of all these dead things! 😂 My favourite movie mistakes are in Braveheart... When he leans down to kiss his wife at her funeral you see a little van driving behind his shoulder... When he throws a guy onto a big spike during the first raid u see a guy in denim shirt and jeans and a baseball cap! There are tons of times that you see the bouncy rubber axes and swords.. But yeah i do unironically like thst movie... I was 12 when it came out and being Irish... Well...like it said a lot. It was at the end of The Troubles and the peace process began in 1998 but thhe freedom from Britain struck a chord in this country. Also Sophie Marceau 😍 😍 😍 Her, Monica Bellucci and Eva Green... Pure Euro magic! Have you ever seen Michael Manns' first version of Heat? It's a TV movie called LA Takedown... Basically the same film and sort of same characters but of course nowhere near as amazing as Heat! I love the film he made with Depp and Christian Bale about real life bank robber called John Dillinger called Public Enemies. Marion Cotillard and Stephen Graham are amazing in it too. Some of the robberies and chases are pure Heat but set in the 1920s! I really like The Town too because it has so much of the care, thought, effort and little touches in its action as Heat without copying it... Ambulance recently was OK, I do like Baby Driver, Drive, Inside Man, Point Break (the original),... But nothing will ever beat Heat... Even the first job they do... Top stuff... The side stories of Chris and his wife cheating,then her telling him to leave, Danny Trejos story and the guy who replaces him... Seeing his wife see the news in the bar was just heartbreaking! Al Pacino 's marriage falling apart and his step daughter' s suicide attempt (natalie Portman), DeNiro meeting someone he can leave with... But in the end he actually stuck to his 30 second thing... The fact he just couldn't let Waingro live... Then Al not letting him die alone...wow..There is so much heart and character moments in it to compliment the action. Damn sorry bout the rant mate! Just really enjoy movies! 😂 👍 All the best from 🇮🇪
Al Pacino goes from bank robber in "Dog Day Afternoon" to a detective trying to stop major robbery heists in this motion picture, one of which houses the best shootout ever filmed. I'm not sure that it wasn't the REAL thing.
The scene where Val Kilmer runs dry, ducks behind the car (with the license plate that has “LUP” in it which stands for Lying Up Position I think?) dumps his spent magazine, puts in a fresh magazine, slaps the bolt release and is up fighting again is the most fluid, fastest and most realistic scene in movie firearms history… major props to the trainers who trained these actors…probably the most realistic movie shootout ever
It’s amazing - you scroll through the comments here and see such adulation, such reverence for the attention to detail and realism… why don’t other movies even *try* to do this?
If I remember correctly, this is such a realistic depiction of a shootout (thanks to the training that all the actors had), that this is used as actual footage for soldiers for urban warfare training
Its almost been 30 years since this masterpiece came out and its still top 10 in every category. Action scenes, actors, suspense, writing. Its still one of the few movies that literally flawless.
I’ve watched this movie over 20 times the first time with my 16 year old son who asked to go to the movies with me….when I was a teenager the last person I would go to the movies with my father… we had a wonderful time and every time I watch it I find something different something I’ve missed some thing in the background truly an amazing cop and robber picture!!!
One of the beautiful things about these characters is their story depth. Mann left nothing to chance. In HEAT 2 they explain that Macally was a Vietnam vet and trained the crew in firearm proficiency and firefight tactics.
A classic scene. I can remember watching this in a theatre like it was yesterday. The only other movie scene that is close is the hostage/gun battle scene in The Kingdom.
I remember when they shot this in DTLA,BLEW THE CITY UP for 2 days, loosely inspired by the NoHo B of A shootout. Was definitely one of coolest location shoot I've ever been privy to . Love living in this city!
everything about this looks and sounds so right, theres only one detail, there is no way you would be able to fire and still communicate this way without ear protection. these guys would look like zombies in real life
I cannot remember the theater i saw it in, but it was in L.A. immediately, the sound quality was overwhelming, putting us directly in the scene. Everything worked...setting, acting, cinephotography and especially sound. Masterfull Michael Mann 👍👍👍
Love this movie but this part of the movie always gets me. How in the hell did the cops gets there that fast? It’s LA traffic, no way they getting to the bank in 5 minutes. No way lol
Remember, the cops had a tip-off that a bank was going to be robbed from Van Sant's crew after they beat it out of Trejo. So, the cops were already on their way. They weren't waiting for the bank to be robbed, they already knew in advance about the robbery.
Hands down realistic shoot out ever with the actual sound of the loud reverberating sounds of automatic gunfire and if you listen can hear the casings hitting the ground.😎👍👍👍👍
Michael Mann raised the bar with his 1995 film Heat. Many filmmakers have tried to recreate the iconic scenes inspired by this movie, but nothing compares to the original. In fact, Heat even inspired real-life events, such as the North Hollywood shootout. The film has had a significant influence, both positive and negative, but it's Mann's craftsmanship that truly sparked my interest in filmmaking. Shortly after Heat, Mann released The Insider, an underrated film ahead of its time. With its handheld close-ups that capture every emotion, deep depth-of-field shots, and an ability to immerse the audience in feelings of stress and anxiety, Mann showcases his talent. He often lets the camera roll for extended shots, controlling the pacing and drawing viewers deeper into the scene. Although Mann stumbled with Miami Vice, he regained his footing with Public Enemies. If you enjoyed Heat, you should definitely check this one out. It's unfortunate that Michael Mann doesn't receive much recognition on social media. While we all remember the iconic scenes, we should also remember the visionary who created them. Much of what we appreciate in today's cinema is inspired by Mann's work from that era.
Badass scene right here. I love the tactics used by both…”you move I shoot”…awesome! I love the end of the confrontation when he knew there was not negotiation. Boom! Awesome acting! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This is the most scarily realistic bank robbery ever made in cinematic history. A lot of people don't know this but this was a landmark scene. Even the way Val Kilmer switches out that clip is legit.
I was always rooting for the thieves because they were badass and this scene is amazing BUT always killed me that they start to leave as the cops get the info and they are there in 45 seconds? Riiiiight
Yeah I think the exact same thing about this scene! Neil and is crew threw Pacino and his detective's tails prior to the heist, they thought his crew had left the country. Then all of the sudden in this scene one of the detectives gets a tip that Neil's crew are considering a bank, miraculously as they are actually carrying out the robbery. So then Pacino happened to be in the room, hearing the detective say this, and IMMEDIATELY commanded his whole team to leave knowing Neil's crew are at the bank right there and then. And not only that, but Pacino's character somehow gets like the entire LAPD to respond to the scene where NO 911 calls or witnesses or alarms have occurred, and the entire fucking department is already posted up there with several roadblocks in like 3 minutes. This movie is banger but yeah that part of this scene is a huge stretch. I can believe Pacino's character and his detectives making it there in time before Neil's crew leaves, but there is no fucking way standard uninformed beat cops would have had all the roads blocked off.

They were using fully loaded blanks too, most films that use blanks only use quarter or half loads in their blanks. This means the shots were extremely loud, about or the same as live ammo. You can really hear it too, all the echoing and such.
When they started firing in the car through the windshield it must have been insane.
@@marcbow you also saw that one short huh
"...don't move, let it bleed..." this whole scene was incredible. Remember seeing it in a theater. Sound was next level.
Fuckin hell, I bet it was. Movie theater bass must've been amazing in this scene. I worked in a theater when the Dark Knight came out and there's a scene in it that still gives me chills when I think of it--Joker in a stolen cop car, sticking his head out of the window. In the theater, the bass was so strong you felt it in your whole body. I think I stepped in to watch at least a dozen times

RIP Sizemore, so good. Best bank robbery shoot out in movie history, Kilmer walking out shooting BADASS!
Yup u beat me to it brother. RIP Tom Sizemore. He will live FOREVER in this iconic movie. ✌️
@@tommybrown9534 Sizemore: One of my all time favorite actors. His role here, and also in the motion picture "Blackhawk Down" solidified that for me.
@@virgilwyatt4632 yea I watched Black Hawk Down a while back.. great movie and great actor
Most retarded one. Just like you.
You change magazine every 500 shots fired. You run faster than a car. All cars in traffic are selfdriving and just sits in traffic jam without any passengers.
20 cops can't hit a damn thing. Al Pacino is a perfect sniper after running 500 meters.
It was good. Completely unnecessary. Let them take the money… maybe cops can actually do their job later
For anyone wondering why they walked into the bank with their masks off first, earlier in the movie they swapped the bank's alarm computers with their own circuit boards. The video cameras and alarms all turned off just before they entered the bank.
oh ye, but how about all the pеоple in the bank? ))
@@chuck77k nahh they don't care about it, once they get the money they'll be ghost
@@tabedabedu please read the first comment in thread )) there would be no point in a brutal heist like this in real life, it's just action, nothing more.
@user-he7wq1ez2q Oh, you should watch the entire movie - exquisite filmmaking from Michael Mann. Just... awesome, the whole thing.
Thank you I was wondering why Val Kilmer was the last one to put on the mask with his blonde ass hair haha makes sense now. I havent seen this movie since I was around 9 with my dad (Im 27 now) such a classic piece
Every character was so strong. This was the best freaking made movie, one of the best of all time! Dinero was still cool at this time. Taxi driver and heat were his two best rolls in my opinion. God damn they just don't make them like this anymore. I wish they did!
Director Michael Mann delivered the most realistic gun battle in the history of movies.
Run flats 🛞
It’s entertaining, not realistic.
sound wise, i would say so@@john33333
How? Den of thieves alone was leagues more realistic than this
Gotta give props to how considerate the robbers are. De Niro tells everyone that they’re money is fine and they’re only there for the bank’s stash. And even lets people that are sick or disabled lean against the wall instead of sit (completely ignoring the whole taking a child as a human shield part, of course)
taking the child was an act of desperation, spur of the moment decision, Sizemore was alone and disoriented.
The kid wasn't meant as a shield but a deterrent..... I could be wrong, but he thought they wouldn't shoot him with the kid in arms.
He was talking about FDIC which means the bank loses money and the customers dont
supposedly, Dillinger would do a similar thing. it keeps customers from reacting, and if they're there to get fleeced by the bank, may even do the Stockholm Syndrome for them. As for worrying about health issues, that likely comes from a prior robbery where that turned into an issue--otherwise why think of it?
it adds incentive to prevent the civilians from attempting to act like heros so it was a good idea
An incredible scene. And to think, their plan works perfectly if not for 2 mistakes: (a) hiring a loose cannon to fill in, and (b) not properly killing the loose cannon.
Not putting the mask on in the banks ?
@@nsmcgirtThey disabled the cameras beforehand so there wouldn’t be able to ID them through cam footage. The only people who could ID them would be witnesses who remembered their face during the heist.
The mistake they made was underestimating their opponent and taking an unnecessary risk doing so. They could have moved on, hit more banks in other states. Neil was warned he was hot but he went for the big score anyway and paid the price.
Clearly, a hothead (my argument is that person is Chris for opening fire the moment he saw Hanna's face) was the difference between a perfect getaway and an overall failure by the time of the movie's climax, though alternatively, Detective Hanna showed up right at the nick of time as Chris was just about to get in the car. Hanna arguably was just as much of the difference maker for the crew's fall as Neil was for not laying low in the aftermath.
The real irony is that they were done after this score, they were all going to retire. If they had just gotten away with it, no innocent people would have died, the streets wouldn't have been turned into a warzone, it would have just been over. Hanna would have been upset that he didn't catch them but he'd move on to the next case.
The driver actually survived his wounds and now sells car insurance
Went to work for the fbi no?
After successfully running a covert unit in the military.
Became a President of the USA too.
Thats brilliant 😎👌💯
I was in good hands but I saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to National General insurance. Truck that lizard. 😁
One of (if not, the greatest) shootout scenes of any movie, of all time. The hardware and firepower were the real stars of the show in how they were coordinated & coreographed.
Its amazing how Val kimler shoots.. He shoots like well trained special forces
Well, the actors were trained by the SAS...
Not a cell phone in sight, just a bunch of people being people during a bank robbery. Good old days
well said lol
The good old days? in 1995? every hear of computers,radar, the matrix,existed well before 1995.
@@DonLeistit’s a joke
lol yep the good ole’ days. When you could rob a bank without do gooders filming you with their iPhone haha
Most INCREDIBLE sounding shout-out in movie history
Saw this in a theater the weekend it opened. Was floored by the sound design of this scene.
@@User_491jx6f Damn, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to see this scent on the big screen, with the huge theatre speakers. I read somewhere that Michael Man, instead of adding the gun shots in post, had set up microphones all around the downtown area and recorded the gunfight that way. So, the gun shots that we hear in the movie, were actually from the blanks fired from the actual guns. There's a clear distinction between the gun shots in "Heat", and every other movie, literally, ever made.
@@danieldevito6380 it's unbelievably good. Especially the loudness of the shots. Would you believe how Heat wasn't even nominated for an Oscar... not even for sound design/editing??! Three bloody nominations that year... Braveheart won... Ridiculous!
@@mccarthy5825 You have to admit, though, that Braveheart was pretty awesome lol... Also, those awards are meaningless. So much BS politics to into the decisions.
@@danieldevito6380 braveheart was filmed a lot in my country, Ireland. I know some army reserves used for that and Saving Private Ryan. A work colleague of mine back in early 00s was there for the whole lot of the Normandy landing shoot. He was a squad leader or something in the FCA (it was changed to something else in 05, but before then the jpke was it stood for Free Clothing Association!)
Anyway apparently whatever director was in charge of them storming the beach and jumping out of the landing craft etc... They would do all the wide and establishing shots and Spielberg would do the real action stuff... So this guy was just relentless and having the guys stand in waist high cold water with aa heavy pack and badly fitting clothes for hours and hours... He often would keep them waiting and they would miss lunch and over stay the allotted time. Obviously people started getting sick and they were being paid virtually nothing... So one day they do a shot of 40-50guys, all wet and cold, running up the beach, with certain extras told to drop etc... It was like that from 9am until about 4pm and he put them back out into the water and by this time they were at breaking point. My mate Pierce (he's very briefly in a shot with Hanks) refused. Said no. We need hot food, a warm tent, a break etc. This guy comes over and is just going crazy, he had kept them waiting so long the tide had gone out to get his lunch, starts saying 'so unprofessional buddy, no wonder you Irish never fight a war, too soft etc etc etc'... Pierce loses it and says... Right I'm in charge of like 60of these guys... We are going home. I'm going to tell the FCA about this, we are being treated so bad etc etc...
Half an hour later he is talking to someone and gets a tap on the shoulder... Its Spielberg. He takes him to a production trailer,assistant makes him a coffee and apologises, says he is going to personally make sure the lads are treated better and asked would he sit down in this shot where Hanks walks by etc. Was apparently genuinely concerned that they were treated bad and after thhe majority of that FCA group were done, Spielberg, Hanks, Sizemore, Ribisi, Pepper and some veterans, all gave them a round of applause...
He wasn't on the shoot for Braveheart but knew people in the FCA that were and said that Mel was an amazing guy, very approachable, funny, always making jokes, had lunch with the lads etc...
I've a good story about Mel too.... So about 10 years ago I spent a weekend at a tattoo convention in Cork with this awesome dancer and actor named Raul... The guy who played the main bad guy in Apocalypto. You know with the jawbone on his shoulders... A class guy, really cool, really down to earth... Just a lovely person. And he told me that Mel is really terrified of bugs and spiders and creepy crawlies. Really hates em. So because a lot of it was shot in the jungle, especially the chase and all... there were many little things scurrying around with many legs!
Mel ordered in some gas bombs to clear out patches of the jungle of insects for production tents and the like... But someone fecked up... The gas went off and after 10 mins stuff began to fall out of the lush jungle canopy... But then it got louder... Some big bangs... Apparently besides insects... Huge spiders, snakes, all kinds of monkeys and birds etc were dropping down too because the gas worked TOO well!
Not only that but no one ever thought of how the humidity and all would affect all the dead things...
So things started rotting... The smell after a few days was apparently so bad, the native workers and people who LIVED in the jungle were really sick from the rotting stench! 😂
Not only that but it attracted a ton of wildlife because of all these dead things! 😂
My favourite movie mistakes are in Braveheart... When he leans down to kiss his wife at her funeral you see a little van driving behind his shoulder... When he throws a guy onto a big spike during the first raid u see a guy in denim shirt and jeans and a baseball cap! There are tons of times that you see the bouncy rubber axes and swords.. But yeah i do unironically like thst movie... I was 12 when it came out and being Irish... Well...like it said a lot. It was at the end of The Troubles and the peace process began in 1998 but thhe freedom from Britain struck a chord in this country.
Also Sophie Marceau 😍 😍 😍
Her, Monica Bellucci and Eva Green... Pure Euro magic!
Have you ever seen Michael Manns' first version of Heat? It's a TV movie called LA Takedown... Basically the same film and sort of same characters but of course nowhere near as amazing as Heat!
I love the film he made with Depp and Christian Bale about real life bank robber called John Dillinger called Public Enemies. Marion Cotillard and Stephen Graham are amazing in it too. Some of the robberies and chases are pure Heat but set in the 1920s!
I really like The Town too because it has so much of the care, thought, effort and little touches in its action as Heat without copying it...
Ambulance recently was OK, I do like Baby Driver, Drive, Inside Man, Point Break (the original),... But nothing will ever beat Heat...
Even the first job they do... Top stuff... The side stories of Chris and his wife cheating,then her telling him to leave, Danny Trejos story and the guy who replaces him... Seeing his wife see the news in the bar was just heartbreaking!
Al Pacino 's marriage falling apart and his step daughter' s suicide attempt (natalie Portman), DeNiro meeting someone he can leave with... But in the end he actually stuck to his 30 second thing... The fact he just couldn't let Waingro live... Then Al not letting him die alone...wow..There is so much heart and character moments in it to compliment the action.
Damn sorry bout the rant mate! Just really enjoy movies! 😂 👍 All the best from 🇮🇪
Kilmer handled that M16 like a pro. He had a a good technical advisor.

The best 11 minutes in cinema history.
Michael Mann at his best
Now when you see a crime movie you always say Its good but its not HEAT.
Еs,of kos...
Al Pacino goes from bank robber in "Dog Day Afternoon" to a detective trying to stop major robbery heists in this motion picture, one of which houses the best shootout ever filmed. I'm not sure that it wasn't the REAL thing.
This is still the best shootout in film history
Yeah, and bullets don't penetrate the cars the robbers are hiding behind
Uraken not everything is 100% legit but this is one of the most realistic gunfight movies made along with probably blackhawk down and sicario
@@Uraken3dhe said best not most realistic. at least he’s more accurate than the people who think this is realistic
The scene where Val Kilmer runs dry, ducks behind the car (with the license plate that has “LUP” in it which stands for Lying Up Position I think?) dumps his spent magazine, puts in a fresh magazine, slaps the bolt release and is up fighting again is the most fluid, fastest and most realistic scene in movie firearms history… major props to the trainers who trained these actors…probably the most realistic movie shootout ever
It’s amazing - you scroll through the comments here and see such adulation, such reverence for the attention to detail and realism… why don’t other movies even *try* to do this?
If I remember correctly, this is such a realistic depiction of a shootout (thanks to the training that all the actors had), that this is used as actual footage for soldiers for urban warfare training
@@ItzBIULDhow to move under fire and covering fire. Used by US armed forces and wouldn't be surprised by armed forces around the world.
@@brandonface917 yup

Its almost been 30 years since this masterpiece came out and its still top 10 in every category. Action scenes, actors, suspense, writing. Its still one of the few movies that literally flawless.
Back when DeNiro could carry Val Kilmer 😂

i think you're exaggerating a bit here, dude :D
chill dude😂

The best bank robbery in movie history!
This has got to be the most realistic, shootouts and sound effects I have ever heard and seen in my entire life
The scene that redefined realism in action scenes. Think it's the first time I ever saw a character reload on-screen!
Outstanding movie from start to finish. Probably the best scene right there
Самая лучшая перестрелка в кино, что я видел. Просто иной уровень.
Абсолютли)
да вообще весь фильм очень хороший
The suit and tie look smooth
The sound director needed an Oscar. That's the best sounding gunfire I've ever heard on film.
This movie was made so brilliantly from the actors to the director and screenwriters one of the best movies of all time top 10 👌
Love the sound design of this movie
They let rounds go hardest shoot out scene ever
One of the best scenes to grace the silver screen.
I’ve watched this movie over 20 times the first time with my 16 year old son who asked to go to the movies with me….when I was a teenager the last person I would go to the movies with my father… we had a wonderful time and every time I watch it I find something different something I’ve missed some thing in the background truly an amazing cop and robber picture!!!
Val Kilmer reaction ruthless doesn’t hesitate for a second
Scene hits me every time
As many times as I've seen this scene, it will go down as a legendary gunfight.
I saw this for the first time when I was 15. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. This scene I held my breath.. Amazing
Went to see this with my dad when I was 14, to this day I’ve never heard anything as loud and as realistic in the theaters.
One of the beautiful things about these characters is their story depth. Mann left nothing to chance. In HEAT 2 they explain that Macally was a Vietnam vet and trained the crew in firearm proficiency and firefight tactics.
There's the second???
@@PrograError HEAT 2 came out in the summer of 2022 as a book. Now, it’s becoming a film.
A classic scene. I can remember watching this in a theatre like it was yesterday. The only other movie scene that is close is the hostage/gun battle scene in The Kingdom.
I remember when they shot this in DTLA,BLEW THE CITY UP for 2 days, loosely inspired by the NoHo B of A shootout.
Was definitely one of coolest location shoot I've ever been privy to .
Love living in this city!
DeNiro was so good in this
DeNiro always play good❤
One of the best shot scenes ever made
AMEN!!!!!......👍👍👍
The bass behind the shots. The camera work. The fluidity of everything. Just looks and sounds so natural. omg
The first tactically and technically sound shoot out in movie history. I love Michael Mann films.
@ 6:02 Donald was thinking, Damn I should've stayed working at the Restaurant
His GF watching the news really broke my heart
He should have got a job selling car Insurance.
everything about this looks and sounds so right, theres only one detail, there is no way you would be able to fire and still communicate this way without ear protection.
these guys would look like zombies in real life
Shhh....
@@Mike-qo4kp What?.... I can't hear you!
I cannot remember the theater i saw it in, but it was in L.A. immediately, the sound quality was overwhelming, putting us directly in the scene. Everything worked...setting, acting, cinephotography and especially sound.
Masterfull Michael Mann 👍👍👍
I watch this scene with volume on blast,shoutout Kilmer for not hasitating 1 second to fire that m16
this was in fucking 95, can't believe it
I always come back to this video in a week or two and it is still entertaining to watch,one of the best holywood movies...
The drivers death in this cuts me up
The best city gun fight ever made!
I was a teenager when I first saw this movie. I was in completely awe my blood was flowing. I've never seen a scene like this. This movie is legendary
Love this movie but this part of the movie always gets me. How in the hell did the cops gets there that fast? It’s LA traffic, no way they getting to the bank in 5 minutes. No way lol
it's a film.. 🤣🤣🤣
We have no idea how much time elapsed and why are you looking for reasons to hate the film? Grow up.
It's also in downtown Los Angeles, and that's where LAPD HQ is.
@@giulio76fulпиздец, ты наблюдательный !
Remember, the cops had a tip-off that a bank was going to be robbed from Van Sant's crew after they beat it out of Trejo. So, the cops were already on their way. They weren't waiting for the bank to be robbed, they already knew in advance about the robbery.
Turn up the Volume ☝️🤗 best sounds ever , just rounds no music 🍀
Michael Mann is hands down one of the best in movie making.
One of the best action scenes in cinema ever! I still watch this movie 2-3 times a year. What a movie and what an actors.
Really love this classic action movie
Hands down realistic shoot out ever with the actual sound of the loud reverberating sounds of automatic gunfire and if you listen can hear the casings hitting the ground.😎👍👍👍👍
Not realistic as a shootout. The sounds are realistic, but that’s a big difference.
один из немногих сильных фильмов!!
One of the most iconic movie scenes of all time
Michael Mann raised the bar with his 1995 film Heat. Many filmmakers have tried to recreate the iconic scenes inspired by this movie, but nothing compares to the original. In fact, Heat even inspired real-life events, such as the North Hollywood shootout. The film has had a significant influence, both positive and negative, but it's Mann's craftsmanship that truly sparked my interest in filmmaking.
Shortly after Heat, Mann released The Insider, an underrated film ahead of its time. With its handheld close-ups that capture every emotion, deep depth-of-field shots, and an ability to immerse the audience in feelings of stress and anxiety, Mann showcases his talent. He often lets the camera roll for extended shots, controlling the pacing and drawing viewers deeper into the scene.
Although Mann stumbled with Miami Vice, he regained his footing with Public Enemies. If you enjoyed Heat, you should definitely check this one out. It's unfortunate that Michael Mann doesn't receive much recognition on social media. While we all remember the iconic scenes, we should also remember the visionary who created them. Much of what we appreciate in today's cinema is inspired by Mann's work from that era.
It sounds so good cuz they were firing real blanks!!, not these fake gunshot sounds that are computer added
No one and I mean no one films a street battle like Michael Mann
I like the reload
The sound is what makes this so good. The way the battle reverberates off the buildings gives the scene so much weight.
Could be the best 10 minutes in cinematic history
HEAT 1995 ❤🔥👑 My favourite movie ever
LAPD's helicopter squad was on strike that day... still quite realistic gun fight considering the movie is 30 years old.
Badass scene right here. I love the tactics used by both…”you move I shoot”…awesome!
I love the end of the confrontation when he knew there was not negotiation. Boom!
Awesome acting! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
this movie has been made almost 30 years ago and still one of the top ten !
This is the most scarily realistic bank robbery ever made in cinematic history. A lot of people don't know this but this was a landmark scene. Even the way Val Kilmer switches out that clip is legit.
ITS PAYDAY FELLAS!
I need a medic bag))
One of the best crime movies still today! Always to watch again.
Really the last dance for DeNiro and Pacino. What a way to end a career.
They both have acted in several movies since...not the "last dance" here by any means
no they really quit dancing after this
They were both in their prime here.
Have you not seen The Irishman? 😂
This movie should re release in theatres Internationally i wanna experiemce it in a cinema hall in my country i wasn't born when it came out.
Best gun fight scene ever..many tried to copy but this, but it's realism remains an outstanding piece of cinematography.
8:19 AAAAAAAAAH I NEED A MEDIC BAG
NO DOUBT GTA V TEAM TOOK NOTES WHILE WATCHING THIS!
The amount of Dakka in this shootout puts even Ghazkull Mak Uruk Thrakka to shame.
Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka = Ghazghkull Marg-aret Thatcher, a force of all-devouring monstrous barbarity
The scene hasnt been done since which is a real head scratcher. No loud dramatic music, No unrealistic shooting, it was simply a perfect scene.
It's unfathomable this movie is already 30 years old! I remember when 30 years was historic.
I was always rooting for the thieves because they were badass and this scene is amazing BUT always killed me that they start to leave as the cops get the info and they are there in 45 seconds? Riiiiight
Yeah I think the exact same thing about this scene! Neil and is crew threw Pacino and his detective's tails prior to the heist, they thought his crew had left the country. Then all of the sudden in this scene one of the detectives gets a tip that Neil's crew are considering a bank, miraculously as they are actually carrying out the robbery. So then Pacino happened to be in the room, hearing the detective say this, and IMMEDIATELY commanded his whole team to leave knowing Neil's crew are at the bank right there and then. And not only that, but Pacino's character somehow gets like the entire LAPD to respond to the scene where NO 911 calls or witnesses or alarms have occurred, and the entire fucking department is already posted up there with several roadblocks in like 3 minutes.
This movie is banger but yeah that part of this scene is a huge stretch. I can believe Pacino's character and his detectives making it there in time before Neil's crew leaves, but there is no fucking way standard uninformed beat cops would have had all the roads blocked off.
Rip Tom Sizemore. Legends never die
