  • The robber gets shot at @ 6:05

  • that was an HK91 with a telescopic stock

  • dude that reporter is crazy, dude had balls doing what he did.

  • @AIDSCzar I'm not blowing it off cause no foodie civilians died. I'm justsayin that onlythe robbers were killed

  • i was born 2-28-97....

  • @AIDSCzar No you idiot the only people who died were Larry and Emil

  • @thebelladawg Ok well 18 people were injured. One cop shot in the back and a civi was shot in the chest. Im sure they dont even remember though so your right, just blow it off like its nothing cause "at least hey didnt die".

  • this guy does not have an ak47 like they said its a bushmaster 223.

  • this was back in the days of potato cams

  • whats going on at 2:37?

  • 39cent tacos at del taco... oh how the economy has worsened...

  • Too bad they didn't have a rifle or something

  • damn, the cameraman had a beautiful grape shot

  • filmed using a broken condom

  • To everyone who has seen the video and gave their two cents in the comment section: Thank You!!!! As all of you know, the 15th anniversary is approaching, and I want to know whether any of you are interested in seeing a special video for the 15th anniversary of the shootout on February 28,2012. I will gladly take all ideas and suggestions, and if anyone wishes to contribute news footage, please contact me here at YouTube to help, any assistance will make a huge difference!

  • @player4life11111

    Yes please ._.

  • @player4life11111 Don't forget though, mathmatically it's Feb 27th this year. (leap year)

  • i love it when people film with a potato

  • @whatsuphelp Creates a more surreal atmosphere and makes us think we're watching a movie.

  • not nearly as much gun fire as in the movie

  • ARE THOSE 39 CENT TACOS?

  • that reporter probably the chairman of Telemundo by now....

  • thats it! bring out the russian juggernaugt!

  • Jesus. Things would definitely go down differently today. They would probably have SWAT in there in no time.

  • 39cent tacos

  • thumbs up if you saw the movie 44 minutes

  • i think this bank robbery shootout was the best thing ever to see. i wish the two robbers got away. I HATE BANKS AND I HATE FUCKING COPS!!!

  • @jackamoose99 Fuck you go jack off a moose dumb fuck

  • @jackamoose99 Do you also wank over small children? Have some respect. Without the police, the country would be in turmoil. So shut your inbred, cock-eating mouth. Prick.

  • thats the fucking shittiest flim i have ever seen fucking stupid. did the camera man shove the camera up his ass and then film????

  • @jackamoose99 hate dumfucks like you.. this video is fucking 15 years ago.. and probably as old as ur dumb fucking brain.. and its a fucking shoot out, they risk their life to film a segment.. and here comes dumbfucks like u" did the camerman shove the camera up his ass or something" man.. be less ignorant.. dumb fuck

  • This is the kind of stuff that will happen when gas prices go over 5 dollars a gallon Not that I approve the violence

  • @jdjas $5 a gallon? this was 1997. they weren't even near those prices at that time. the national average was just a little over a dollar a gallon.

  • Film quality has come a long way in 14 years.

  • @iknowwhereyoulive006 Well that is something we agree on for sure. They sucked at what they did. bank robbing is impossible anyway.

  • @iknowwhereyoulive006 It is believed they got away with a previous robbery in which a gaurd was killed. but they stayed in the same place, which was stupid. Its interesting because the police got the jump on them just like in the movie, except in the movie they were tipped off instead of just driving by. Even had the suit and tie detectives involved. im thinking motorcycles are the best escape plan, going in every direction.

  • reminds me of the movie heat

  • calis active!

  • Guys, the driver never took the keys, he turned off the fuel switch so Emil wasn't able to start the car. A retired officer from my dept. was called to the scene and he told me all these details about the shooting that not much people know about.

  • The guy with the camera should've been popping rounds at the guys.

  • 5:25 thats not an AK47... looks more like a G3 or a FAL

  • @zombiepaki94 they still used an ak each before they ran out of ammo for it

  • @zombiepaki94 They had a HK91 which is the semi auto version of a G3

  • @zombiepaki94 they had an arsenal of weapons in the trunk, he coulda swapped it so ya but i agree with u tho

  • @iknowwhereyoulive006 Well to be fair they did try to get away, their car died, and he tried getting away in someones truck but there was no key

  • if the mexican guy had a sniper he could of taken him out, the cops arent as brave as him

  • @localSickened Thats the thing. The police officers didn't have ANYTHING except some small 9mm. Once they got higher powered rifles then they took those bitches down quick.

  • @localSickened there's a difference between bravery and stupidity

  • Comment removed

  • @localSickened Mexicans are used to violence... Also if one of the Cops had a sniper rifle they could have taken out the highly untrained and incredibly stupid north hollywood shooters. The cops are also shitty and untrained however, so really this was an exercise in stupidity on both sides that endangered civilians. Fankly if they had simply let them flee no one would have been hurt. They decided to have a shootout though and several civilians were injured and Im sure some of them died.

  • Man these guys must get paid by the amount of footage they have of the actual suspects, cause this is crazy!

  • This is so stupid, i mean shit if the guy who filming had a gun that would of been over because he had so many clear views of the gunmen its ridiculous

  • CHECK OUT THIS MEXICAN REPORTER RISKING HIS LIFE TO BRING YOU LIVE FOOTAGE.... AND YOU PPL WANT THEM OUT OF HERE!!!!!

  • if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video i would have a dollar.

  • @HarleyzChannel THEN YOU COULD SING THAT LITTLE RASCAL SONG BY BUCKHEAT. YOU KNOW IT " I GOT A DOLLAR I GOT A DOLLAR HEY HEY HEY!!!!!!!!!

  • That's my main man Larry Philips in action. Can't forget my other brother Emil Mătăsăreanu. Much respect!

    R.I.P. February 28, 1997

  • the guy is the blue car was like"huh....oh FUCKKK THIS"

  • He laughs in the middle of a gunfire,, haha

  • ahhh the 90's, 12 pixel videos <3

  • i just cant believe that in all that fucken time they were unable to get a MOTHER FUCKEN HUNTING RIFLE, A 30-06 FOR CHRIST SAKE!!.... and blast the son of a bitch in the head......piece of shit LAPD

  • the Mexican reporter should be a cop cause he got big balls going near the Red zone with nothing but his microphone

  • i wonder if this was another ploy setup by the secret powers who control our government to change gun laws and take away more of our rights, there are many more examples of this

  • @RES1ST0R I think your tin foil hat is on too tight!

  • @carsonight i dont have a tin foil hat i only wear a tin foil condom

  • army should go there

  • @ericsantiago011 No, you want the Marines.

  • @xaqshuna2003 yep army wud just sit there and whine

  • these men werent out to rob a bank, they went out to kill and proof of that is no bank robber carrys 60lbs of ammo, 3 rifles, FULL body amour and THEN expects to try and carry 50+ more pounds of cash and without even a suitable get away car! 

  • a question . did the robbers have bulletproof helmets ? why werent they shot in the head or somewhere vulnerable

  • @farerse no they didn"t. i have fam in law enforcement and they said that the police were to far away to get a clear headshot and they only had pistols and shotguns.swat was on the otherside of town

  • @sleezzzyp fam= family ? .. but according to info over 2000 bullets where exchanged . they hit the robbers hands and feet . couldn't they aimed a bit higher? or have a sniper to take them out..

  • @farerse yea i meant my family.if they hit there hands it was by luck.most of the bullets came from the robbers.police couldnt get to close because they were outpowered,therefore a headshot from that distance on a moving target wouldve been hard.the only snipers that couldve of taken them out were swat and they had jus finished training on the other side of town.that is why on the other videos at the end you will c a swat officer wearing khaki shorts.they were off when they got the call

  • these documentaries make it sound like they were enaged in a firefight the whole 45 or so minutes. at 5:08 he puts his gun down and is like "shit, anybody got a cigarette?" lol

  • Not as heavy of a firefight as they said!!!

  • fuckin stupid guy I don want to see your face I wanna see what's going on there !!!

  • i lived down the street when this shit happened and i remember the news channels were all reporting that there were 4 gunmen.......why else would they have blocked in a couple square miles doing house to house searches.......also ive read that the bullets they pulled out of the first gunmen killed were from a high powered rifle and the the trajectory of the round was on its way down...........sniper.........­makes you wonder how many people were really involved..........

  • 8:59 39 cents!!!!??? holy shit what a deal

  • good job telemundo for airing something worth watching

  • the police are sworn to serve and protect besides these guys were going to kill someone or hurt people for crying out loud. i dont what you guys think, Go LAPD

  • @Th3Black0men robbery and violence wasn't their kind of life style. They were both seeing a doctor that prescribed them drugs knowing that it would make them extremely violent as a side effect but he did not care. He gave them the medication anyways and violence ensued

  • @anthonysaurus656 Drugs don't fire guns.

  • @sidmute00 You're right. Drugs don't fire guns, people with completely altered states of mind DUE to drugs fire guns.

  • @anthonysaurus656 Yes, let's all blame it on anti-depressants. Do you really think that those prescription drugs are the reason for the robbing and killing? Anything that totally alters your perception of reality is not going to be prescribed by doctors. It was still their choice. Period. I'm on anti-depressants, do you see me going around shooting people in the head? No. Where's your sense of accountability man?

  • @sidmute00 I'm not saying anything about anti depressants, I'm on anti-depressants. I'm saying that the doctor that prescribed them the medicine was a sick fuck who enjoyed it when he had people killed. In order to avoid being caught though, he gave many of his patients drugs that would make them very violent. Not all of them went as far as to kill people though

  • @anthonysaurus656 I've read theories they were using the anti-anxiety medication for a nerve-calming effect.

  • @anthonysaurus656 Yes, let's blame it on the drugs. Most meds that are prescribed don't "totally" alter states of mind. Prescription drugs wouldn't be prescribed if they made people kill each other.. btw..have you seen the video? They don't look too high to me. Have you read their back stories? They've been fucked up most of their lives. Bottom line, the PERSON fired the gun. If the drugs influenced that decision, then it still comes back to the personal fking responsibility of the person.

  • @sidmute00 Watch Generation Rx it will tell you whats up with prescription drugs and mass shootings due to them.

  • @B2BTeppinfox what the hell are you talking about. this was a bank heist.

  • @Lowlightt

    Granted, they did use barbiturates during the heist, but those weren't the reason.

  • Cameraman should of had 7mm mag + good scope, would have been over

  • @ 7:32...lol...too bad his head didn't get blown off at that moment.

  • Those cops put civilians in jeopardy pursuing those men. Are a couple bricks of money worth risking people's lives? If they backed off there would have just been some green paper missing.

  • RIP LARRY & EMIL... Fuck the police

  • @tak3nov3r702 dude they were bound to die eventually with their lifestyle

  • the mexican reporter risking his life, lol

  • @gleesocks he's probably used to this stuff. it happens everyday in his homeland.

  • @gleesocks I still dont think hes got enough pasos from that.. his bosses are horrible bosses..

  • @gleesocks shit man, he's just trying to get his job done, lol

  • @gleesocks he thought one of the gun men was a police office -__- lol

  • @gleesocks CUAL ES LA RISA ?

  • Comment removed

  • They got wrecked because they were pussies who didn't know how to shoot. They couldn't kill a single person even when they were armed with AIM assault rifles and H&K's. Maybe if they weren't such pussies they wouldn't have died.

  • @yesiamawizardjonny Or maybe they died because they didn't have hand/lower leg armour. -.-'

  • Where are the gunshots??

  • Has anyone ever shot at the police helicopter?

  • @ebluntsmokerp Indeed they have! Larry Phillips fired several bursts of ammunition at the news chopper as it encircled the shootout and provided live coverage...

  • well we really can't blame them for shooting at the reporters, ha ha, fucking obnoxious cunts.

  • I cant watch this; it's not in HD. :p

  • Comment removed

  • where are all the racist comments o white guys shoot up a nighborhood no prob

  • Only a mexican would be brave enough to go out to ground zerio and broadcast. 

  • speak english. this is America.

  • th reason this happend is because the saw the movie heat

  • Happy 14th birthday!!!

  • Didnt watch the whole vid, but from I've reat they had body armor and the shootout lasted quite some time. But didn't it ever occur to any of the cops to shot them guys to the legs? Nice vid anyway.

  • @Aaidas2 one of them had full body armor, and the other did get shot in the leg

  • @grimelab- Hey dumbass-Read someone's post thoroughly before you call them names. "banks LIKE Bank Of America" which is basically all banks. You're too brain-washed or not sharp enough to get the whole picture.

  • It's called use a sniper! Stupid cops!

  • @TheSxp4life All they had at first were pistols since they thought it was just a normal bank heist so it took time to get the rifles there and there's no way they could hit a moving target from long range with a pistol.

  • 7:30 is funny as shit, damn mexicans lol!

  • @NPMASTA187 that guy looks like he has seen so many shootouts he isnt even scared

  • @1087shotwell Who would be scared in a shootout?

  • THE REAL CROOKS HERE ARE BANKS LIKE BANK OF AMERICA. THE AVERAGE AMERICAN PAYS FOR HIS HOME THREE TIMES OVER IN INTEREST TO THESE CRIMINALS. HOW CAN THAT BE LEGAL? ANSWER: CROOKED BANKERS + CROOKED POLITICIANS = YOU AND I GET SCREWED. F*CK BANK OF AMERICA

  • @gmd1417 Or, if you don't like them, don't use their services. Moron.

  • @player4life11111 I have been to your website, and it is very good, but has some big holes. For instance, the "Gunmen" pages lead up to the meeting of the two men, and then stop (?) There is not a word about how/when that happened, or what their relationship from then on was (?) To me that is the most important part of the story, and several years are completely missing (?) Nothing about the safehouse they used, no photos, no interviews with anyone who knew them during that entire time, etc

  • @gmd1417

    The website is still a work in progress, maybe a little patience is in order.

  • @gmd1417 Definitely write to the suggestion page, and believe me, your suggestions will be taken seriously so the site can be improve on. Your honest feedback will make a difference :)

  • Why are there not more photos of the two gunmen out there? It is always the same two stock photos of each man. Are there no police evidence photos of their "safe house"? There is very little written about them,. especially their friendship, What was their relationship like in the years in which it became a criminal partnership?

  • @gmd1417Check out the website on the video description above,it has all the background on the gunmen, hope it helps to answer your questions.

  • @player4life11111 Looks like you were pretty close to tha gunman were you worried at all that he would turn and see you and shoot you?

  • @gmd1417 Maybe they were affliated with Military or police enforcement at some time. Prehaps they dont want you to know shit about why and who they really are.

  • Is the person recording drunk?... Shit is all shaky and out focus...

  • wheres chuck norris when u need him

  • @gstaone321 Forget Chuck Norris! Where's Samuel L. Jackson when you need him?

  • i get this guy was scared, his adrenilane was pumping, and his life was in danger, but can this retard keep the camera still?

  • 1 Marine + 1 M14 = Quick end.

  • @OzzyFan87 are you sure? whithout A-10, ah-64, bradleys, M1-Abrahams support? I would be only another scared little lamb, haha

  • @MrLIENDRES Lol hell yeah, pick them both off at 500 yards. wont be a problem to anyone anymore.

  • @OzzyFan87 yeah, I´ve already seen your marines crying like babies in Iraq and Afganistan, have they lost all their M14? haha

  • @MrLIENDRES haha u dont even make any sense lol.

  • @MrLIENDRES

    The guns are called M4s.

  • @NKA23 the police have M16s not M4s. the M4 is a military rifle and carbine. they cops use M16A2 and M16A4 rifles.

  • @SigmaType34

    Well, okay.

    But that doesn´t make THAT kind of a difference.

    The basic design is the same, the calibre is the same...

  • It would be even MORE disasterous if Larry was replaced with Babyface Nelson (FYI: He still holds the record for most FBI agents, in all, killed by a single person). Larry must be related to him because Nelson with a gun = shoot at anything: Men, women, children, etc. with NO remorse what-so-ever. Nelson even made a list of Police/FBI license plates to hunt them at every chance he got, which led to his eventual downfall even though he killed ALL the agents on scene in a gunfight.

  • the life of a reporter and cameraman

  • if i was one of the cops i would have just got in my car and fucking floored it at them.

  • were tv grade cameras actually this bad in 97?

  • @minorpayne23 were you not alive in the 90s ? but the camera footages back then were not high quality as today's

  • @MrLetsgotrojans No i was alive in the 90's, but I would think that a news reporter grade camera would be a little better than this.

  • I was at work at the Bob Hope Airprt (then it was the Burbank Airport) and we heard the shots from there - the police force there mobilized and everything - then back in 2002 we went to the vacuum store there I wlked to the tree where Sgt. Washington was shot and I saw the holes in the tree...also there are still puttyed over bullet holes in the apt comlex next to the center

  • these guys had balls of steel to battle the LAPD like that. HOLY SHIT! I was in the 7th grade when this happened. this is a shocking display of criminal behevior at its very worst. WOW!!CRAZY ASS MOTHERFUCKERS

  • i cant get over the stupidity of the reporters to get so close & expose themselves facing backwards, btw the sound at 8:52 sounds like a damn bullet grazing by n missing by inches in my opinion

  • this footage IS FUCKING AWESOME, thanks for the upload

  • damn mexican reporters dont give a fuck right acroos the street

  • Damn del tacos burritos were only 39¢ back then!!!!

  • If only he a rifle instead of a camera...

  • @rowdyrottenpeeper I was thinking the same.... this all could have ended so early if someone were sitting where the reporters were with a rifle at around 4:15 in the video. a bolt action rifle and a steady aim would have saved a lot of lives.... but nope, just gonna chill with the camera and let it continue

  • some good footage

  • serves your  self right for having such lapse gun laws.. a media that does more harm than good

  • Telemundo.

  • if only you had an HD Camera for this.

  • The LAPD SWAT should consider aquiring an Apache Helicopter gunship for stuff like this.

  • wow the world's most famous shootout.

    GOOD JOB PHILLIPS JR AND EMIL !

    these robbers were great.

    may ALLAH bless them.

    rest in peace.

  • im just wondering where the snipers are..

  • i don't know what in the heck was being advertised at del taco for 39c but damn that makes me miss 1997 haha.

  • why is jorge viera carrying cassette tapes?

  • @camnet2001 Actually I asked his cameraman,and he said that these were used to record the shootout as it happened, so the final video is a combination of all these videos, this explains the gaps in the tape itself.

  • @camnet2001 - personal porn perhaps?

  • @camnet2001 Well. Think about it. This is 1997 back when they didn't have DVD disks. Just tapes. The he had to have them in case the tape in camera got too full, so that should explain it.

  • fire this camera man he sucks he's suposed to be a professional from the looks of it he wasn't even trained i know he's scared but still

  • So glad no people died.

  • @michaelmckay63 does that exclude the robbers?

  • @jakeharris2010 Yeah, I disregard them as people.
