It's worth seeing again.

I need to watch that again. Great movie.
When the SAS used to shoot through car windows like that, they were wearing goggles and baclavas to protect against the hot brass and splintered glass, ear protection too if available. You fire a rifle inside a car you won't be able to hear much of anything for a while, and brass and glass will be flying everywhere. It looked like they were actually using live rounds on a closed set for a few of those scenes . . . not sure how they could've gotten those effects otherwise.
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
That's one of my all time favorite scenes. I get so jacked watching it.
So kick ass. I haven't seen that movie in a long time..
They used blanks during the shootout, with the intention of redubbing the sound in post production. Michael Mann liked the sound of the blanks and the echo off the surrounding buildings so much, he decided to keep those sounds in.Quote:

Because those two were inspired by the movie. Apparently they didn't see it through to the end when just about everyone dies.Quote:

Still one of the greatest movies of all time and that scene is one of the greatest action sequences of all time. As much as I love the new CGI this goes to show you that you don't necessarily need it to have a great action sequence as it still stacks up well against the advanced CGI almost 20 years later.
Great advice. In fact, there's a Tavor available here! [Flower]Quote:

Awesome heist and shootout/chase scene.

Great dialog in this interrogation scene.
SPOILER ALERT!!! The scene below is from near the end...

The Town fun fact: During one scene they're actually watching the drive-in scene from HEAT. I thought that was a cool tip of the cap from a movie that was obviously inspired by it greatly.

'....who's car are we taking?'
My favorite all time movie. I have about every copy made of it to include the one with 'the making' disc included. Mann is a crazy stickler for realism. He sent everyone to firearms training, actually made them do many of the scenes at the range with live ammo with a very high end firearms instructor. He also made them put on makeup and case the actual bank used for the scene after going through training with real bank robbers. The shootout scene was shot with full powder blanks to add to the realism and done in downtown LA on a closed set. The entire crew was shellshocked for days after shooting the scene, they said the actual sound and the reverb off of the skyscrapers was the most horrific thing they has all heard. After sound editing did the shooting special effects overlay, the entire production crew knew it was garbage and not even close to the horror the original shooting sounds. They used the full-blanks soundtrack.Quote:

Not to mention, Mann also went for realism in Miami Vice (the film- Mann also worked on the TV show)- for the .50 cal scene and the end shootout- both with impact and sound. He's one of my favorite directors... ever.Quote:

All I can think after watching that (or the North Hollywood shootout) is what a nightmare crime scene that would be.
Try being a resident- one of my Army buddies grew up in N. Hollywood (He's in his early 40's) and was about a 1/2 mile away when it happened, said it was noisy and scary as hell.Quote:

That's another one of my favorite sequences in a movie.
I really have to work on my holster draw... Damn
In the making of Mann said Tom worked on that draw with an expert for weeks and that scene took multiple takes. I try and practice my draw and acquire daily.Quote:

I think we're talking about shootout scenes for the realism they bring. That Zombie shootout scene is the opposite of what makes these other scenes good.Quote:
