Heat: Heist and shootout with the police

[@karlunknown4657]

The actors were trained by former British SAS soldiers for this movie. The fire and manoeuvre drills are textbook and perfectly executed. When I was training to become an infantry soldier they showed this clip to demonstrate the use of cover, no movement without covering fire, the leapfrogging movement to advance towards the objective. Its still today the best I've ever seen in a movie.

[@droptopOX]

Facts. It was so good. One of my all time favorite scenes in cinema

[@dkoz8321]

I was Field Artillery officer, fire suppourt FIST , and we trained with LI with covering element, overwatch element, advancing element. Retrograde under fire. Basic light infantry patrolling. I am no criminal. But a bank heist does have elements of raid patrol. You have movement to objective, actions at objective, movement from objective. However the from objective had a FLOT or extraction point, or some location that would be defendable. There is nothing in a bank heist / armed robbery like that. Their extraction, the car was taken out. They had to get another one. Thats a stolen vehicle, and identifiable. There is no friendly fire suppourt. No safe friendly area to go to. No ground to go to. All they could do is disperse and E&E. The mission was to get cash. What happened to that?

It's not widely known, unless you listen to the movie commentary, but Michael Mann originally intended to redub the sound in post. The post production sound didn't work so he chose to use the sound recorded on the day of shooting with the blanks. The reverb off the buildings is real and from the day of shooting.

The black car would have been shredded in the first minute as they were driving asway, cars offer cover from view not hard cover, the bank robbers would have been shredded considering there was pistols shot guns and AR rounds being loosed into the car.

The idea to use the REAL sound that the guns produced in the area was what really made this scene epic. The echoing because of the buildings made everything way more effective than any artificial gunfire that was planned to be used. A decision made while editing when it was realized that nothing sounded as good as the original gunfire.

Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. 59. The likeness of Jesus in Allah’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 7. He who perfected everything He created, and originated the creation of man from clay. 8. Then made his reproduction from an extract of an insignificant fluid. 9. Then He proportioned him, and breathed into him of His Spirit. Then He gave you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the brains-but rarely do you give thanks. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. O people, be conscious of your Lord. The quaking of the Hour is a tremendous thing. 2. On the Day when you will see it: every nursing mother will discard her infant, and every pregnant woman will abort her load, and you will see the people drunk, even though they are not drunk-but the punishment of Allah is severe. 3. Among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, and follows every defiant devil. 4. It was decreed for him, that whoever follows him-he will misguide him, and lead him to the torment of the Blaze. 5. O people! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection-We created you from dust, then from a small drop, then from a clinging clot, then from a lump of flesh, partly developed and partly undeveloped. In order to clarify things for you. And We settle in the wombs whatever We will for a designated term, and then We bring you out as infants, until you reach your full strength. And some of you will pass away, and some of you will be returned to the vilest age, so that he may not know, after having known. And you see the earth still; but when We send down water on it, it vibrates, and swells, and grows all kinds of lovely pairs. 6. That is because Allah is the truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is Capable of everything. 7. And because the Hour is coming-there is no doubt about it-and because Allah will resurrect those in the graves. 8. And among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture. 9. Turning aside in contempt, to lead away from the path of Allah. He will have humiliation in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make him taste the agony of burning. 10. That is for what your hands have advanced, and because Allah is not unjust to the servants. 11. And among the people is he who worships Allah on edge. When something good comes his way, he is content with it. But when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround. He loses this world and the next. That is the obvious loss. 12. He invokes, instead of Allah, what can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is the far straying. 13. He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit. What a miserable master. What a miserable companion. 14. Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Allah does whatever He wills. 15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this life and in the Hereafter-let him turn to heaven, then sever, and see if his cunning eliminates what enrages him. 16. Thus We revealed it as clarifying signs, and Allah guides whomever He wills. 17. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists-Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah is witness to all things. 18. Do you not realize that to Allah prostrates everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many of the people? But many are justly deserving of punishment. Whomever Allah shames, there is none to honor him. Allah does whatever He wills. 19. Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. 20. Melting their insides and their skins. 21. And they will have maces of iron. 22. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: “Taste the suffering of burning.” 23. But Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk. 24. They were guided to purity of speech. They were guided to the path of the Most Praised. 25. As for those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path and from the Sacred Mosque-which We have designated for all mankind equally, whether residing therein or passing through-and whoever seeks to commit sacrilege therein-We will make him taste of a painful punishment. 26. We showed Abraham the location of the House: “Do not associate anything with Me; and purify My House for those who circle around, and those who stand to pray, and those who kneel and prostrate.” 27. And announce the pilgrimage to humanity. They will come to you on foot, and on every transport. They will come from every distant point. 28. That they may witness the benefits for themselves, and celebrate the name of Allah during the appointed days, for providing them with the animal livestock. So eat from it, and feed the unfortunate poor. 29. Then let them perform their acts of cleansing, and fulfill their vows, and circle around the Ancient House. 30. All that. Whoever venerates the sanctities of Allah-it is good for him with his Lord. All livestock are permitted to you, except what is recited to you. So stay away from the abomination of idols, and stay away from perjury. 31. Being true to Allah, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with Allah-it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and is snatched by the birds, or is swept away by the wind to a distant abyss. 32. So it is. Whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah-it is from the piety of the hearts. 33. In them are benefits for you until a certain time. Then their place is by the Ancient House. 34. We have appointed a rite for every nation, that they may commemorate Allah’s name over the livestock He has provided for them. Your God is One God, so to Him submit, and announce good news to the humble. 35. Those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who endure what has befallen them, and those who perform the prayer and spend from what We have provided for them. Read The Quran

I like how Robert de Niro's character addresses the bank employees and patrons like he's reading a prepared script: coldly and matter-of-factly but sincere. I also like how the side characters are realistically in enough shock that the robbers have to repeat commands, and the robbers, being professionals anticipate having to do so. In comparison with the botched job in the beginning, all the violence they use is a means to an end--to incapacitate someone, or intimidate the crowd at large. Everything about this movie occurs on the level of habit and behavior, and it's phenomenal to see it executed so flawlessly.

I always remember this as the most realistic sounding gunfight I’ve ever seen in a movie. Rewatching confirms that and I was awed by the cinematography and choreography of this fight. Top marks to Val Kilmer for a great performance.

Allah, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. 59. The likeness of Jesus in Allah’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 7. He who perfected everything He created, and originated the creation of man from clay. 8. Then made his reproduction from an extract of an insignificant fluid. 9. Then He proportioned him, and breathed into him of His Spirit. Then He gave you the hearing, and the eyesight, and the brains-but rarely do you give thanks. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. O people, be conscious of your Lord. The quaking of the Hour is a tremendous thing. 2. On the Day when you will see it: every nursing mother will discard her infant, and every pregnant woman will abort her load, and you will see the people drunk, even though they are not drunk-but the punishment of Allah is severe. 3. Among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, and follows every defiant devil. 4. It was decreed for him, that whoever follows him-he will misguide him, and lead him to the torment of the Blaze. 5. O people! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection-We created you from dust, then from a small drop, then from a clinging clot, then from a lump of flesh, partly developed and partly undeveloped. In order to clarify things for you. And We settle in the wombs whatever We will for a designated term, and then We bring you out as infants, until you reach your full strength. And some of you will pass away, and some of you will be returned to the vilest age, so that he may not know, after having known. And you see the earth still; but when We send down water on it, it vibrates, and swells, and grows all kinds of lovely pairs. 6. That is because Allah is the truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is Capable of everything. 7. And because the Hour is coming-there is no doubt about it-and because Allah will resurrect those in the graves. 8. And among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture. 9. Turning aside in contempt, to lead away from the path of Allah. He will have humiliation in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make him taste the agony of burning. 10. That is for what your hands have advanced, and because Allah is not unjust to the servants. 11. And among the people is he who worships Allah on edge. When something good comes his way, he is content with it. But when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround. He loses this world and the next. That is the obvious loss. 12. He invokes, instead of Allah, what can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is the far straying. 13. He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit. What a miserable master. What a miserable companion. 14. Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Allah does whatever He wills. 15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this life and in the Hereafter-let him turn to heaven, then sever, and see if his cunning eliminates what enrages him. 16. Thus We revealed it as clarifying signs, and Allah guides whomever He wills. 17. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists-Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah is witness to all things. 18. Do you not realize that to Allah prostrates everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many of the people? But many are justly deserving of punishment. Whomever Allah shames, there is none to honor him. Allah does whatever He wills. 19. Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. 20. Melting their insides and their skins. 21. And they will have maces of iron. 22. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: “Taste the suffering of burning.” 23. But Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk. 24. They were guided to purity of speech. They were guided to the path of the Most Praised. 25. As for those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path and from the Sacred Mosque-which We have designated for all mankind equally, whether residing therein or passing through-and whoever seeks to commit sacrilege therein-We will make him taste of a painful punishment. 26. We showed Abraham the location of the House: “Do not associate anything with Me; and purify My House for those who circle around, and those who stand to pray, and those who kneel and prostrate.” 27. And announce the pilgrimage to humanity. They will come to you on foot, and on every transport. They will come from every distant point. 28. That they may witness the benefits for themselves, and celebrate the name of Allah during the appointed days, for providing them with the animal livestock. So eat from it, and feed the unfortunate poor. 29. Then let them perform their acts of cleansing, and fulfill their vows, and circle around the Ancient House. 30. All that. Whoever venerates the sanctities of Allah-it is good for him with his Lord. All livestock are permitted to you, except what is recited to you. So stay away from the abomination of idols, and stay away from perjury. 31. Being true to Allah, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with Allah-it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and is snatched by the birds, or is swept away by the wind to a distant abyss. 32. So it is. Whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah-it is from the piety of the hearts. 33. In them are benefits for you until a certain time. Then their place is by the Ancient House. 34. We have appointed a rite for every nation, that they may commemorate Allah’s name over the livestock He has provided for them. Your God is One God, so to Him submit, and announce good news to the humble. 35. Those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who endure what has befallen them, and those who perform the prayer and spend from what We have provided for them. Read The Quran

Whoever did the audio engineering is a wizard to get the sounds recorded so cleanly.

In order to clarify things for you. And We settle in the wombs whatever We will for a designated term, and then We bring you out as infants, until you reach your full strength. And some of you will pass away, and some of you will be returned to the vilest age, so that he may not know, after having known. And you see the earth still; but when We send down water on it, it vibrates, and swells, and grows all kinds of lovely pairs. 6. That is because Allah is the truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is Capable of everything. 7. And because the Hour is coming-there is no doubt about it-and because Allah will resurrect those in the graves. 8. And among the people is he who argues about Allah without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture. 9. Turning aside in contempt, to lead away from the path of Allah. He will have humiliation in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection We will make him taste the agony of burning. 10. That is for what your hands have advanced, and because Allah is not unjust to the servants. 11. And among the people is he who worships Allah on edge. When something good comes his way, he is content with it. But when an ordeal strikes him, he makes a turnaround. He loses this world and the next. That is the obvious loss. 12. He invokes, instead of Allah, what can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is the far straying. 13. He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit. What a miserable master. What a miserable companion. 14. Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. Allah does whatever He wills. 15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this life and in the Hereafter-let him turn to heaven, then sever, and see if his cunning eliminates what enrages him. 16. Thus We revealed it as clarifying signs, and Allah guides whomever He wills. 17. Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists-Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Allah is witness to all things. 18. Do you not realize that to Allah prostrates everyone in the heavens and everyone on earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many of the people? But many are justly deserving of punishment. Whomever Allah shames, there is none to honor him. Allah does whatever He wills. 19. Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads. 20. Melting their insides and their skins. 21. And they will have maces of iron. 22. Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: “Taste the suffering of burning.” 23. But Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk. 24. They were guided to purity of speech. They were guided to the path of the Most Praised. 25. As for those who disbelieve and repel from Allah’s path and from the Sacred Mosque-which We have designated for all mankind equally, whether residing therein or passing through-and whoever seeks to commit sacrilege therein-We will make him taste of a painful punishment. 26. We showed Abraham the location of the House: “Do not associate anything with Me; and purify My House for those who circle around, and those who stand to pray, and those who kneel and prostrate.” 27. And announce the pilgrimage to humanity. They will come to you on foot, and on every transport. They will come from every distant point. 28. That they may witness the benefits for themselves, and celebrate the name of Allah during the appointed days, for providing them with the animal livestock. So eat from it, and feed the unfortunate poor. 29. Then let them perform their acts of cleansing, and fulfill their vows, and circle around the Ancient House. 30. All that. Whoever venerates the sanctities of Allah-it is good for him with his Lord. All livestock are permitted to you, except what is recited to you. So stay away from the abomination of idols, and stay away from perjury. 31. Being true to Allah, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with Allah-it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and is snatched by the birds, or is swept away by the wind to a distant abyss. 32. So it is. Whoever venerates the sacraments of Allah-it is from the piety of the hearts. 33. In them are benefits for you until a certain time. Then their place is by the Ancient House. 34. We have appointed a rite for every nation, that they may commemorate Allah’s name over the livestock He has provided for them. Your God is One God, so to Him submit, and announce good news to the humble. 35. Those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who endure what has befallen them, and those who perform the prayer and spend from what We have provided for them. Read The Quran

Everyone rightly talks about the shootout and great execution of the actors based on McNabs training. People neglect how bloody tense the build up is, I remember watching this the first time and the score and tempo had my heart rate through the roof.

[@CaptPoco]

At 8:01, DeNiro is screaming at the top of his lungs, and it sounds like a faint whisper compared to the thunder of the guns. That's the moment that really sold the sound design of this scene.

Yes but if you were going to rob a bank you would not usually take about 1000 rounds of ammunition with you

[@KoljaGamer]

@@Marvin-dg8vj Yes, true. I haven’t see them reloading while this intense shootout. The criminal at 6:43 min. should have run out of ammunition in this single magazine but he still auto fires without reloading. :^D Edit: min. 7:29 in this video: He finally reloads! ^^

[@Lehr-km5be]

@@KoljaGamer While it is true that we do not see nearly as many reloads as there should be, this shootout scene is still one of the most immersive the cinema has to offer. The fact that the cops fire more selectively because they know that every shot they miss is a potential civilian casualty and that we also see actual leapfrogging instead of just running and gunning is a huge improvement over most shootout seen in the movies. Robert de Niro also reloads at 7:09 and seeing how in a lot of action movies we do not see a single reload then that is already worth a mention :)
