0:04 I'll take one of those and two of those and one of.... man, good movie.

[SimD777]

Lastly. Does anyone know if Robbery Homicide Division is on DVD or where I can watch the episodes?

[SimD777]

If you ever watch Bullitt and Heat right after you can notice several similarities between in the directing style of Peter Yates and Michael Mann. Like the shootouts are with no music, and the chase scene in Bullitt is with the actual car sounds recorded in the action filmed without music. Plus many other similarities.

[SimD777]

When Donald Breedan throws the restaurant manager to the ground (personal satisfaction in that one). Coffee scene with Hanna and Neil. Hanna finding out the just got made at the cargo lot. The entire intro up to the ambulance catching fire. Hanna taking aim at Cheritto with a sniper like calmness. And of course the landmark of a scene when Hanna holds Neil's hand and looks into the runway lights. The chase scene in the airport was an homage to Bullitt with Steve McQween

[SimD777]

Favorite scenes - When the wife is not home, I will blast the street shootout with my dual sub 7.2 surround system! When Neil returns Trejo's call at the landline in the diner and learns that Trejo can't make it, the music and DiNiro's intensity while holding the receiver and slowly placing it with the deep ambient music is so strong in such a simple scene, but I felt that it was the turning point for Neil as he has to decide whether to continue or call it off.

[SimD777]

CON's - Lots of editing and continuity errors that (to me) are noticable. The scene with Hanna and Albert when Hanna starts singing at the table and Albert is talking but his lips are not moving! McCauley and Charlene are in the hotel room and after He hits the hangers, they are back, then moving, then missing, then back again! I can see the squib cable coming out from the bottom of the pants of the armored guards, Van Zant, and a few others I can't think of right now.

This is one of the greatest and most realistic films of all time. Instant classic and one of a kind storytelling. Micheal Mann did what he had to do to make his vision a reality the way he saw fit. I applaud him for such meticulous efforts in maintaining the feel of realism and drama in the film. PRO's - Di Niro and Pachino, nuff sad about that. One of the most realistic and intense shootouts in film history. Amazing performance from the entire cast. Score is deep and dramatically intense.

@SimD777 Im talking about the movie Heat

[neotokyomedia]

Make a HD trailer...

[toejam119]

@neotokyomedia

if the source is VHS, what good does making a HD video of it do? It's just a waste of bandwidth at that point.

[hogger129]

this doesn't feel as realistic as heat

[Godzilla52]

@hogger129 it was a made for TV movie Michael Mann was extremely disappointed in it because he didn't get to do what he wanted to do with it. So 6 years later he sorted things out and Directed Heat.

[shazaibkhan88]

can u please make a trailer of l.a. takedown its my favriot better than heat

[espolax]

Disapear WayneGroh. Too bad he doesnt slam him face into the table like DeNiro did.

[chubroc13]

dude i just found out that the original Vincent Hanna died. Its probably old news but man... i did not know that!

[chubroc13]

SPORT = SLICK  LMAO!!!

i like this.. its like a warm up to the actual film itself!

[espolax]

Check the begining out. "Lay of um sport!"

[diuga1]

When someone nonfamous gets a hold of a script previously shot and refilms it, it´s called REMAKE or it´s seen as A SIGN HOLLYWOOD HAS RUN OUT OF FRESH IDEAS...Michael Mann directed a tv-movie, and, years later, SHAMELESSLY remade it as a festure(even the clothingof the main leads on both versions look similar).

Now, instead of being called some of these names, his asskissers say the original was only A DRESS REHEARSAL.

What a joke!!!

[BoNidle3863]

Ease up on the red meat Diuga1, it's making your nostrils flare! I wouldn't exactly call my self a Michael Mann "ass kisser" as I do not know the guy so have nothing to gain. He has made some bad films,"The Keep" springs to mind.I did not say it WAS a dress rehearsal, I merely postulated that it could be seen as such.HEAT was one of his pet projects but at the time he couldn't get the budget so he did this film.When budget ceased to be a problem he remade it as he originally imagined it.

[bashthebandello]

thank god for PACINO!! This guy is fucking crap!!!!!!!!!!!!! goddamm fucking stage actor wannabe!

[BoNidle3863]

This is a fascinating film to watch as full "dress rehearsal" for "Heat". The guy who plays "Waingros" is also in "Heat" playing the man Pacino finds has spent the night with his wife.

[CesMan83]

"Shuddup, Ralph...SIT DOWN!!!"

Haha, good scene you pointed out about the guy who played Waingro who later became Ralph in "Heat"

[comraad]

oh yeah, i remember seeing him in heat but couldnt remember what role.. his scene was funny in heat
