      I believe former SAS member Mick Gould was responsible for most of Michael Mann's technical advising in his films, this one included, they had a long history together, and yes as others have mentioned it's well known that Andy was there too, pretty sure Mick trained Tom cruise for collateral, I actually preferred the ending of the original TV movie version of heat called LA takedown, lesser known actors and it still has the classic deniro and Pacino scene. Both great movies of course

      I’ve thought about this. Very hard to do in 2023. You have to make your money portable. I’m not so sure if crypto currency is the reliable way to go. I guess an off shore account in Panama City maybe. Even if you don’t talk to any of your former contacts, I watched a documentary once about a private investigator who’s specialized in tracking people. Especially people who tried to fake their death. Not saying it’s not doable, but I think you have to a phd in crime to be able to thrive these days.

      The sound in the movie is the actual sound as recorded during filming.

Goodfellas) to get his gunplay right. I know he’s an ok dude (not a saint, but not a dick). But I imagine he eventually gets annoyed at the unit director or stunt coordinator or whatever.

    I totally remember that. They had AK's with drum magazines and side arms. (and I think they just had "full metal jacket" ammo, not specifically "armor piercing.") They had also duct taped 2 layers of military plate carrier plates all over their body, so they were being shot by cops with no apparent effect. While the robbers stuck together initially, they eventually split up. Meanwhile, the cops went to a gun store and got more powerful weapons, then cornered one of the guys while he was trying to carjack a vehicle and riddled him with bullets. He surrendered but died soon after. The other guy walked into a neighborhood, having dropped the AK because he ran out of ammo. He then pulled his side arm and pointed it under his helmet, taking his own life.

    The reason bullets in Michael Mann's movies sound better than anyone else's is because he puts dozens of microphones all over the area and records the real shooting noise and how the blast wave expands over the place. This is very clear in the final shootout in HEAT, where you can hear the bullet sounds reverberating over the skyscrapers windows. Other movies just use generic bullet libraries that are added in post, or a single microphone over the actor.

Taking up the slack in the trigger of a P220 will in fact result in the trigger being nearly completely depressed to the rear and you'd certainly want to have your finger on the trigger with the slack taken up and ready to fire in this situation where a close pursuer could come around the corner at any moment.

    NH bank robbery was “inspired” by Heat. I work with the lapd SWAT operator who fired under the truck, he now has 50 plus years in law enforcement. Patrol was obviously heavily outgunned. Some officers went to B&B guns down the street and commandeered some AR’s but I don’t think they deployed the rifles. This led ultimately to availability of rifles for patrol when previously only Tac teams carried rifles.

    About the cars discussion at 12:55 - the truck is a brand new, large Dodge RAM (2500?). As a car, it's intimidating by it's sheer size. It's speaks to how the opposition is more about looks. DeNiro drives in a non-descript station wagon. He cares nothing about the appearances - all he cares about is the functionality, with a sniper overlooking the meeting place.

      Any Michael Mann film has better than normal for Hollywood gun-handling. Mann actually trained with Ray Chapman back in the day, and had Chapman train James Cann for "Thief", his first feature film in 1981. He was "Cooper School", which led to Don Johnson using the Bren 10 in the first several seasons of Miami Vice. "Collateral" with Tom Cruise is also another Mann film.

    The feeling older movies were better is probably because we only watch and remember the good ones from that era.
    Heat was revolutionary for recording the actual audio from the blanks being fired. The actors were trained and fired for real. That's why it sounds so real, because it is.

    I've heard the tactics Val Kilmer showed during the shootout in Downtown were so good Ranger cadre used the clip as an example to guys on how to properly reload, cover fire, and transition cover/shooting positions. The part where Abel broke down his use of explosive was hilarious.

    Heat is my FAVORITE movie of all times! I was a fan of Deniro and Pachino, but they achieved god status when I saw it. I didn’t even see it when it came out. A friend of mine gave me the Heat dvd for my birthday or something around 2000 I think. Also, I discovered Michael Mann watching this movie and am a fan of everything he does because his cinematography and semi-doc filming is iconic. That’s why you have to watch Collateral and Miami Vice (movie) because they are just beautiful to watch. Chris Nolan made his crew watch all of Michael Mann’s movies before filming “The Dark Knight” in order to get that feel. You’ll notice even in Heat a Michael Mann signature is a shot of the city at night from the helicopter. I probably sound like a movie nerd, but I’m not. I’m just a nerd for Heat.

    One of thee major reasons why the guns sound so good in Heat is because almost every shot fired is real. They used blanks so the audio is raw real audio of the shootout that cannot be replicated by what films do now, recording the sound effects in a controled area and editing it in later.
