+betatalk357 excellent points. a fellow true fan. u said it Better than Mann's commentary which was incredible here n in Public Enemies n Collateral after this I watched all Mann's criminal flicks at least once with commentary. both US Marines n in real life NM was gonna take a Supermarket as a final score. they had coffee in real life.

@@mojadisco1812 the freeway scene and the helicopter scene both reminded me of GTA 5, even down to the music. rockstar definitely influenced by these specific scenes in LA.
Christopher Nolan mentioned he was influenced by Michael Mann and Heat, I believe this is very apparent in the dark knight trilogy. “Gotham City is a character”
So true dude. As much as I am a fan of the 80’s action hero’s, they were my childhood heroes when I was young and impressionable, they make a mockery of themselves in the expendables. Such silly movies. I mad it through half of one and skinmed the others...... the unwatchables.
Michael mann movies has these night drives scenes which makes you wonder about life of highway and they are crafted to perfection making you rewatch over and over.. Collateral, Miami Vice, Heat..
I saw this on the big screen when it came out. I think I went back to watch it 3 times. I've never seen anything like it before or since. I wish films could be like this now.
Same here ! i knew it was going to be good .. but didn't know it was going to exceed expectations . Just a masterpiece film ! the right actors , and made at the right time period . Imo Michael Mann's best work ! their will never be another film like it .
God damn, I couldn't imagine the feeling and crowd reaction of watching an epic film like this in the cinema back in the mid-90's. That's an experience that would remain with you forever.

Since mid 90s The complete destruction of film in to : Diversity, sexuality of the actors, the sexuality of the actors must match the character, the actors private lives, which of the actors are shagging each other , diversity diversity Then Some way down the list of priorities is : make a film
I got to see it on the big screen recently, they replayed it in the cinema for one night. Being born in 95 and having only watched multiple times on TV, it was an awesome experience to see it in the theatre!
Some of the best scenes ever put to film, "New Dawn Fades" playing in the back as Hannah is barreling down the freeway after Neil, that tension they both feel in their shoulders as they both ready their respective arms in preparation for shit going south, Neil's fear of the unknown outside his car & his anxious yet calm readiness as he looks around for the "Heat" coming around the corner. Hannah's fear of the unknown inside of Neil's Cara's he walks up confident yet nervous & unsure of his opponents response knowing he's a brilliant calculating tactician who won't be taken without both men getting put down by the other. Brilliant scene & what follows is arguably the greatest scene is film history as the two mega forces of film finally collided in that cramped, intimate diner. Beyond epic.
When I took a trip to LA, my rental was a blacked out Chrysler 300. People thought I was a cop, didn't go as fast in the movie, but relived this scene. It was awesome.
Love this scene Al Pacino driving on the LA freeway fast chewing gum and this song goes with it everytime im coming out of Disneyland park with my wife and kids.They close the park at 12am and i have to drive 4 hours to Fresno CA to get back home i chew gum and drink a Rockstar Energy drink driving fast on the fast line listening to Classic Rock i think of this scene lol.i saw this movie with my older brother and my sisters husband he took us to go watch it i was 10 years old at the time I tripped out on the shoot out scene it sounded loud in the movie theater. Everyone have a Great Blessed Day
It's a true shame that any younguns today who happen to watch this won't be seeing it in a theater! It's Michael Mann's best work, with the darkness all around you and then your vision taking that helicopter ride like it was an attraction at a theme park in an almost mystical immersive experience! I was lucky enough to see it in an older theater, too, at a triplex that had $1 movies because everyone was flocking to the newer ones with a bazillion screens even though that meant smaller screens. So, I saw it on one of the largest screens in all of Alabama--coincidentally the same one where I'd seen Darth Vader come on screen in a swirl of smoke at age 5, another mystical experience! As much as I love the movie from the comfort of home, there's nothing like the Michael Mann touch visually in a big theater!
Pacino’s slight grin when he offers to buy him coffee is so subtle, but powerful at the same time. De Niro’s simple response is bone chilling ! BRILLIANT ACTORS!
Having lived here in LA, from '70 to late '74, & now, from '95 on, i have traveled this freeway, more times than i care to remember. Ah yes, the 110 through downtown , to that nasty interchange ! This is a great scene from an all-time classic film. One of Michael Mann's finest. -----------------------MJL, 75 y/o
Love the way this chase is shot. The camera low to the ground and swerving in and out of traffic gives it this almost dreamlike quality, like the drowsiness of late night highway driving. The song really amps this up too as the droning and then piercing guitar comes in.
Watching this for first time when i was 17 or 18 years old back in the day is something i cant describe how smooth it was and how cool the music ,The scene ,Seeing the two icons in one scene it's just perfect.
It’s insane how much the Dark Knight borrowed from this film. From entire dialogue and character sequences, aerial shots, lighting, themes, and much more
during my daily commute to work/home, I occasionally find myself listening to this track when I’m joining the highway .. and all because of this scene 😀
@@germanbogos3059 it's Moby's version of a Joy Division track New Dawn Fades. The final track in the movie when Vincent shoots Neil is also by Moby, God Moving Over the Face of the Waters.
Anyone else noticed the perhaps unintentional foreshadowing about the final scene at LAX? When Hannah is closing in on McCauley they are just driving under the sign marking the lanes that are leading to LA Airport.
I think its brilliant how the scene goes from cityscape to Neil's moving location pinned down, the tactical transition from helicopter to highway. Like Hannah is a modern cowboy with that awesome song in the back ground. Shout this movie has it all. And this scene is just a few minute example.
it shows the two sides of a Marine. Law n Criminal both adrenaline rush characters. the real life Neil wasn't. movie MUST be seen at least once with MM full commentary.
Ben Geiger Does Neil really look like the kind of guy wouldn't drink coffee?. Everyone in this world would need that fix, hell I would in both their weighty shoes!!
I remember watching this movie as a kid and thinking how boring it is and rewatching it years later and this time thinking what a masterpiece this is and regretting that they don’t make movies like that anymore and that it’s highly doubtful that we’ll see someone like Pacino and Deniro in a screen ever again. Renting this movie £2.99……..Scenes you remember for years and you can watch over and over again, priceless…..😂😂
Going 100 on the highway and not stoppin for nothin. No fear just the pedal to the medal & the wind roaring through the cracked window. Deniro & Pacino in one of my favorites. Michael Mann also did Miami Vice.
The chopper reports Neil going east but he’s actually going west towards LAX. He gets pulled over by the 105 and 405. I pass by here almost all the time and by the beginning of the film where he gets off from the metro. It’s so close to home ❤
Gotta love it. This is one of those movies you can watch over and over again.
I have heat on dvd
Aye!
Still relevant
Yes. I’ve seen it probably 100+ times. And I have Heat 2 the novel. Yes I have a problem.

I'll never forget seeing this movie in the theaters. It was epic. Everyone and I mean everyone was blown away. Christmas 1995.
I was born that year but had the opportunity to view it in the theatre on a replay in 2019, man was it worth viewing!
True I saw it in NYC Xmas 1995 , that was crazy in that theater , especially during that scene
It was a trip. Saw it several times. One of the best movies ever for me.
Musta been WILD!
@@Balt9mm it was crazy, almost 30 years ago ................can' believe it
Michael Mann is great at capturing urban scenery. You can see this as a precursor to collateral so much more in this scene.
The same in Miami vice
Omg this film reminded me so much of collateral and didn’t even realise they’re from the same guy
michael mann is the king of making movies in LA. the real LA, not the west side.

1:23 that transition is so sick and smooth i'm amazed

Deniro, Pacino, cop chase, and kick ass rock music. I don't think it gets any cooler than that.
Definitely inspired by Pink Floyd.

Gotta watch it now
Gotta love the expression on Pacino's face as he calmly offers De Niro a "cuppa cawfee".
I love it.
The music, the intensity, the action...HEAT baby!
1:24 one of the sharpest transitions.
Seamless!
HEAT - definitely one of the best films ever produced. This scene is iconic.
As a former cop....this is exactly how I would handle business. Cool, professional, and relaxed.
I remember seeing this scene in the theater at twelve. So cool, so epic, the music! At thirty-seven I appreciate it even more.
That make sense because I was the same age when this movie came out.

He learned from the best, William Friedkin.
You should read the novel HEAT 2 he wrote. Its terrible
@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 I think it's pretty good so far
The sound of the wind as the car whips by is really dope. Very well shot scene.
This scene was done so well to even the smallest detail of Vincent looking back before exiting the car, checking the traffic for his safety.
1:30 In the Arabic translated version, the translation says: you're about to watch one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
Egybest ❤
Michael Mann is one of my favorite directors. He nailed it with DeNiro and Pacino, as well as a great supporting cast.
Pacino’s slight grin when he offers to buy him coffee is so subtle, but powerful at the same time. De Niro’s simple response is bone chilling !
BRILLIANT ACTORS!
Greatest actors
Compliments to the director, editor & sound dept. This scene is almost like breathing in a tense situation.

I love the little details. I love Pacino looks to the rear to check traffic before he exits his vehicle.
Love the way this chase is shot. The camera low to the ground and swerving in and out of traffic gives it this almost dreamlike quality, like the drowsiness of late night highway driving. The song really amps this up too as the droning and then piercing guitar comes in.
Now, try driving slowly on the highway, at night, while listening to this music!
This + coffee scene. The best 10minutes in movie history.

It’s insane how much the Dark Knight borrowed from this film. From entire dialogue and character sequences, aerial shots, lighting, themes, and much more
Even William Fichtner, the actor who plays Roger Van Zant played the bank manager of the mob bank at the beginning of The Dark Knight.

Wow, just heard the exact same song at the end of the Equalizer, it only took me 10 seconds to remember this scene here :D
My first R rated film ever. Best film ever.
The typical Michael Mann Atmosphere.
3..2..1 aaaand Goosebump.
Soundtrack is Epic asf.
This is the epitome of cool.
It would of sucked if Neal said---

Well, he made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Neil drank coffee throughout the whole movie.
Love the music for this scene Yeah this aint the highway its the 105 to the airport.

This crime saga has it all in spades.. And the coffee shop scene goes all in when the two mains meet face to face.
Butterflies in the stomach every time. Having been pulled over many times in my old life. I know the feeling all too well
WTF is the guitar riff, I love it. Sounds very mid 70's heavy rock?

there should be a plaque on that exact spot where two of the greats met up..
correction...those two cars should be in a museum and a plaque installed on that very spot on the highway.
Hahah u are right son
this is possibly the second best scene in this movie...first of course is the bank robbery and shootout
I'm a former policeman... (from another country) .. It was cool.
best crime thriller of all time..no comparison at least that ive seen.
@phantomlord54 He can capture the essence of any city. The man is amazing.

I wish they made movies like this now days
I felt Miami Vice Vibe
Michael Manns at his best. This movie was. Epic.find start to finish.
Great scene, great movie
If you have low testosterone watch this scene
An indelible scene, a very masterpiece!!!!!!!!
Michael Mann is a dark neon god.
Nothing but the best movie 🎬 ever! And the best actors ever 👌
This was one of the most anticipated scenes ever next to Arnold and Sly, remember watching thinking history was made on film

Al pacino the best
Neil should have said "no thanks" to the coffee offer😄
Awesome movie!

The police likes to invite professional robbers to impromptu coffee hangouts.
Watching The Equalizer this song plays at the end of the movie. I instantly recognized the song and confirmed. Same song.
Going 100 on the highway and not stoppin for nothin. No fear just the pedal to the medal & the wind roaring through the cracked window.
Deniro & Pacino in one of my favorites. Michael Mann also did Miami Vice.
Scene mythique en plus un duo de legende pacino vs de niro
Perfect song for the scene, Moby instrumental can't remember the exact name... :)
New Dawn Fades is name of song
Oldsmobile Aurora?!? hmmm..not even close. It's an Infiniti J30. Made from 1993-1997.
I love when Pacino responds to De Niro when he walk up to the car and asked him for coffee.
My favorite scene in the whole movie, Pacino looks so real, and rest done by awesome music. 🤓
Probably ma favourite scene in the film
and then they says "hey lets go to cars and coffee, i mean cars and queefs tahmorrows...ya knows?
