👇Let us know in the comments which movie we should react to next! 👇

[@zephid11]

The reason why the guns sounds so different compared to most other movies, is because that's how they really sound when you fire them. Michael Mann were planning on adding the gunshot sounds in post-production, but he felt it didn't sound realistic, so he decided to keep the real gunshot sounds they recorded when they filmed the scenes.

[@Roddy556]

This seems way cheaper and easier and this movie has some of the best sound going. I wonder why this isn't the norm.

[@folkblues4u]

​@@Roddy556probably has to do with the difficulty in extremes. Trying to record sound of voices with automatic rifle fire going on is something that takes very careful microphone placement and is probably very difficult to tune mic sensitivity for. For instance: If you had levels set to pickup someone screaming, then someone whispers, you're not going to pickup the softer sound.

[@Roddy556]

@@folkblues4u well even if it is much more difficult to achieve this balance I really enjoyed the atmosphere the sound brought. The Heat sound crew could probably have improved many of the gritty action movies of the time like Saving Private Ryan.

[@dathorndike4908]

Plus you have the echo from the gunfire off all the downtown high rise buildings which make it sound different

[@druccas5825]

The moment al pachino realizes he killed the one man that understood him the most

[@morten1]

Well said

[@Headloss]

If you're a man, that ending always hits in the feels.

[@JTidiotboy]

iF yOuRe A mAn Bro that should hit anyone in the feels

[@issi529]

Agree. The ending was absolutely astonoshing. Very underrated.

[@samufish]

Best ending ever and that score was amazing.

[@issi529]

@@samufish Incredible score.

[@dathorndike4908]

Actually hated the ending. It felt wrong for Neil's character. Like Mann just put it in there so the audience could have a showdown between Pacino and DeNiro. In reality, Neil would have done the smart thing and took the trip to New Zealand.

[@sephjnr]

This was Danny Trejo's first movie - he was hired as an advisor but impressed Mann so much he was given a role.

[@dathorndike4908]

WRONG. Runaway Train from 1985 was Trejo's first movie. Edward Bunker brought him into that movie. He has a small part as a boxer in one of the prison scenes.

[@handsomefatboy]

I honestly think we will never see a movie like this again, although this movie has been imitated so many times the juxtaposition of the typical dynamics and cliche stereotype mechanics they always put into modern day movies (and shows) will make it impossible to reach this level again.

[@nickmitsialis]

They tried it with 'Den of Thieves' but even the big shoot outs lack the sound and 'punch' from this movie.

[@devlinallistair-zx5by]

Hands down, one of the greatest action set pieces ever. Masterpiece.

[@markc.7984]

Fun watching you guys. Heat is a two hour cops & robbers movie with an extra hour of character development thrown in, and the best action sequence ever in that downtown L.A. shootout. And Ian sounds exactly like Edward Norton.

[@franktherabbit47]

One of my all time favorite movies. Good watch!

[@THEvagabond29]

I told my daughter the 30 second rule when she left for college in SF. NOT IF!! When you feel the heat coming, you need to bail... She actually did this at a party and told her friends she feels the heat coming... im jumping out this window and you need to follow me... they didnt believe her until she was gone in a poof. They all got arrested except my girl. She became a legend at the college for keeping her cool, never getting high, and keeping your wits together.

[@NeilLewis77]

Haha love it. I often tell people to avoid drama. Now I'm gonna start saying avoid the heat.

[@rxtsec1]

My best friend did that when we were in High school. We didn't have a car then & he would get rides from these shady guys at are school. He knew the risk but did it anyways cause he didn't want to ride the school bus. Anyways they stopped at a convenience store & those guys decided they were gonna robbed the store. He took off as they were going in & caught public transportation home. & never rode with those guys again

[@sspdirect02]

24:28 The sound of dead silence after the last shot is fired is more deafening than the sound of all those rounds being fired.

[@evyatarhadar8867]

The longest effective range is going to be different from the maximum range that the shot flies. Certainly most Buckshot and slugs are effective to 100 yards (meters) and beyond.

[@tarquinbullocks1703]

Wait a minute. "Filmakers React." "Who's this guy?" "Er, Val Kilmer?" Which films did you guys make?

[@coxmosia1]

If you haven't seen it yet, "V for Vendetta", is a good movie. Bit of a cult classic.

[@OmegaSaiyan92]

4:20 he was in Batman Forever and was supposed to be in Batman & Robin but pulled out at the last minute because he got a chance to work with Marlon Brando (according to Joel Schumacher)

[@josua1146]

I recommend the underrated movie "Insomnia" (2002) for your next reaction, I mean Al Pacino and Robin Williams in the same film schould be worth to watch this stuff, specially because you guys would be the first ones who shows a reaction to this.

[@morten1]

Also The Insider (1999)

[@ParasitikOne]

You were really close when you guessed 15 for Portmans age…she was born in 1981 so she was 14 when this movie came out… so probably 13 during filming

[@j.aghorbani5197]

Deniro and Pacino don't need more shared scenes....hence why it is so impactful when they meet and have coffee. the final scene is the big payoff. Film is a masterclass in film making and storytelling

[@mohammedashian8094]

Exactly what Michael Mann said in a filming locations video on paramount pictures channel the climax brings back the fact that both of them said that they would not hesitate to kill each other the next time they saw each other and as they said they did

[@jnagarya519]

Not that great. "Carlito's Way" is better. And see both "Donnie Brasco" and "Black Mass".

[@j.aghorbani5197]

@@jnagarya519 wrong. HEAT is by far a better crafted film

[@jnagarya519]

@@j.aghorbani5197 Everyone was waiting for Pacino and De Niro to be in a film together. Finally they are in a film together, and actually meet from opposite side of the law. Otherwise it's the typical overblown shoot-'em-up. In "Heat" we get what the characters are from the outset; all the rest is flashy action. In "Carlito's Way" Pacino's character evolves. And see "Donnie Brasco" and "Black Mass".

[@issi529]

​@@jnagarya519All those 3 movies you mentioned are very great. But Heat is just better. The filmmaking was just top tier.

[@moderngamer8527]

For a filmmaker your video cut is not the best, if you cut out key moments of the movie people wanna see you react to.

[@Richie8406]

24:00 Side note. The USMC used this footage of Val Kilmer throughout. To instruct Marines how to move behind cover and combat change mags

[@justinwelton6252]

The effective range of a 12 gauge shotgun is 60-70 meters for a human target, or about 180-215ish feet. Lol I’ve bird hunted and shot clay pidgins all my life and can confirm this. It’s not going to be a tight grouping of bb’s at that range, but a buck shot pellet is pretty good sized and has a lot of gunpowder behind it, all it takes is just one in the throat or any other soft vital area to do the trick. Just a little free knowledge for you! Not trying to be a dick. I will say in most video games I’ve played they cut down the effective range of a shotgun quite a bit, so it’s easy to have that impression of them.

[@samufish]

A bit of info, the airport scene was very hard to film but not because what you think. The airport was on lockdown due to bomb scare from the uni bomber.

[@rw4487]

Val Kilmer is doctor Holliday in tombstone MUST WATCH

[@hartsickdisciple]

Shotguns aren't as short range as you guys think. Typical buckshot out of a 12 gauge shotgun only spreads about 1 inch per yard. That means all the pellets hit within about a 20 inch group at 20 yards (60 feet) away. Slugs can hit pretty accurately up to almost 100 yards away. You can definitely shoot across a street and get lethal hits with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. This movie represents shotgun combat much more accurately than most. In fact it's much more realistic with all the small arms combat than most films.

[@AgentMullet]

loved your guys reaction guys! this is one of my favorite films ever personally and always really love seeing peoples reactions to it. to your point about shot gun range i’m a bit of a gun nut and without getting into the nitty gritty, basically it depends on many factors (barrel length, type of shell loaded, choke in the barrel, etc) but shotguns are often used as you might know for bird hunting and trap shooting so it isn’t like call of duty, those pellets can travel pretty good (not nearly as far as a rifle round but still much further than commonly thought).

[@bmorg5190]

How the hell doesn’t he know Val has been Batman before..? Only person I’ve ever hear say something so crazy.

[@miguelpatrick79]

I like the way Robert dinero character tells al Pacino if he feels boxed in he will not hesitate basically making a threat without making one knowing he's taking to a cop smart move.

[@classiclife7204]

[Pointing to Val Kilmer]: "Who's that guy?" 😢

[@paulh2486]

Not sure who Kilmer is, havent seen HEAT, claim to be 'filmmakers'...

[@abeclark524]

You guys mentioned how the gunshots sound in this movie, and I wholeheartedly agree, they're fantastic. Not just for the realism, but theatrically as well.

[@stuffstuff8942]

Damn, y’all skipped most of the iconic dialogues but this was still cool

[@Richie8406]

6:40 for peps who don't know. At this time LAPD had pistols. It was with the 98 North Hollywood shootout, when cops got real guns. This film. 1 9 9 5

[@folkblues4u]

Buckshot has an effective kill range of 30-40 yards - that's 90 - 120 feet. A slug haa an effective kill range of about 200 yards - that's 600 feet.

[@zoolook666]

Al Pachinos character is high on coke in the movie (the actor told at their anniversery). That might be why he dared to take the shot. By the way: Michael Mann actually did this movie (more or less) before at a very limited budget (L. A. Takedown); hence, he new the story was good. This time with top actors and top budget.

[@rogerhill9559]

I mean American cops in real life shoot outs don't have a good track record of giving af about collateral damage. I think a good number of them take the shot in that situation.

[@Richie8406]

32:27 He is doing it for their honor

[@samufish]

No green screen. Entire film was shot on location.

[@galford-5104]

TMI: GTA "Bank Heist" mission...

[@koljawendlandt5598]

The Heat ran, so the Dark Knight could walk

[@ThatGuy-dn9no]

WTCH EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE!!! FIRE FILM

[@morten1]

But how can you be a filmmaker and haven’t seen Heat before? 😏

[@samufish]

lol. The 90’s did this one right, lol the 90’s was the best era for movies. I can call out probably 50 great films at anytime from the 90’s.

[@Richie8406]

28:40 there were fires and smogs in LA in the 90's. Take the green screen

[@Richie8406]

42:00 That is why HEAT is killa. Any day that ends with y, Heat, or the next Marvel....

[@chrisyu327]

Val Kelmer was Batman in Batman forever.

[@protovision2010]

Great movie + reaction! Probably Michael Mann's best film (although I really dig 'The Keep'). Definitely check out 'True Romance' (1993), directed by Tony Scott, script by Quentin Tarantino(!). Amazing cast and performances.

[@samufish]

I never seen The Keep. Interested. I love Miami Vice. I know most people don’t but I loved it. Although I know they changed the ending and the ending we got was not what Man. Wanted and I agree, it was not a great ending but I loved the journey.

[@Richie8406]

19:30 Most famous.... Apu, and many other characters in the Simpsons

[@DP-eo5xd]

Still haven’t seen a fire fight scene as good as this one. Some try to copy them.

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

Se7en, if you haven't seen it. The Northman Super (starring Rainn Wilson)

[@Shnonan]

Favorite scene is tracking shot of Hanna setting up to take out the guy holding the little girl hostage.

[@qwi2311]

He doesn’t get shot in Dark Knight. He gets scared with a smoke grenade.

[@rxtsec1]

I don't think that scene was green screen

[@LostInNostalgia]

Really?!.. I dunno kinda looks like it

[@rxtsec1]

@@LostInNostalgia maybe but mann is known for using real places for his filming. Maybe he had no choice there If he did

[@rxtsec1]

2nd favorite movie of all time

Great movie. Reaction by “filmmaker” on left, 👎🏻. Couldn’t stand more then a few min.

Lol what kind of filmmaker sleeps on Heat

[@ericgrzeszkowiak8502]

Great reaction! You guys should react to Point Break or Set it off

[@route66dreaming]

I love how you call yourself filmmakers but you can't even get the sound right on a KZbin video

[@lancegoodthrust546]

It's cliche at this point but ya, Heat is really high-craft. Michael Mann had just done The Last of The Mohicans before. The movie is almost 3 hours but it really doesn't feel that way. Acting, the use of subtle camera movements, and of course the music. If there was a contender for perfect film. Heat is it.

[@pepsicolazero]

That was no green screen

[@joelwillis2043]

ya look it up it was

[@robertwalegir8677]

I thought I was watching dumb and dumber. Do you want people to like and subscribe but you won’t educate yourself on the simple fact of a movie

[@user-cs6gl7ew6l]

Don't watch they talking through the whole movie. Very annoying
