Pacino interpreted the character as having a coke problem, having to be up at all hours solving crimes. Hence, his psychotic performance

[@FriendRequestReviews]

that explains it, either way, I loved his performance.

[@TD-mm7nj]

im pretty sure that was his was of saying he was coked up the whole time they filmed the movie lmfao@@FriendRequestReviews

Yah lol there's an interview where Pacino loosely confirms he method acted this character. Ig it'd be cokethod acted.. Aight my b yall 💀

[@harmlessanimeposter3379]

Correct, Pacino's character was supposed to be an addict who was chipping, but they left any mention of that out of the final product. Which is why his outbursts seem strange and hilarious

[@qwertymanor]

He didn't interpret that, it was in the script. They just left out him doing coke in the movie.

[@JBeck33]

Pacino’s character was doing coke throughout the movie. They cut those scenes out. But, in some of the scenes when he’s all amped up, that’s why.

[@FriendRequestReviews]

Make sense 👌🏽

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

They may have figured it would lead to too many "Bad Lieutenant" comparisons, which would distract from the real point.

[@rashadwalker8218]

Glad they did we didn't need a reminder of Scarface with a badge lol

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

Technically they didn’t cut those scenes out because they didn’t actually film him doing that. It was just a character note from Michael Mann to Pacino to help him build his character. A lot of detectives have addictions of some kind so it makes sense.

[@Damphouse]

Fun fact: Marines and Army Rangers used film of Van Kilmer's gun reloading during the shootout to teach soldiers how to properly change a riffle's magazine

@@FriendRequestReviews Trivia (in case it ain't been mentioned yet) Michael Mann had friend, Chuck Adamson who was a Cop in Chicago; he was his advisor for things 'police-y' like banter and procedure and whatnot (his partner was Dennis Farina, who turned into an actor-one of Mann's regulars). anyway, Adamson was chasing a professional thief named 'Neil McCauley'. Adamson and McCauley had coffee together 'just to chat about the nature of the business, like in the movie--and in the end Adamson shot and killed McCauley after a botched heist.

[@INNACCES13]

So happy that you guys called Waingro the random. When my brother saw it for the first time he loved it but called it a movie about the repercussions of starting a GTA Heist with a terrible random.

Michael Mann’s directed some bangers, Thief and Miami Vice being some of them. He’s got Ferrari with Adam Driver coming out on Christmas this year!

[@Boomer04888]

You gotta remember this movie was filmed in the 90s, long before the US police was as militant and extreme as it is today. Sure, today if that shootout happened, there'd be 150 SWAT team members on top of them within 15 minutes, but in the 90s, that shootout was much more plausible. Just look at the North Hollywood shootout in 1997. 2,000 rounds fired, 12 officers and 8 civilians injured, and lasted 45 minutes. And that was with only two shooters.

[@clevelandcbi]

I rented that shootout from Blockbuster lol.

The director hired 2 former SAS operators as advisers to train the actors in weapons, tactics, etc. Mick Gould and ‘Andy McNab’. ‘Andy McNab’ is actually a kinda famous guy from a failed mission in the 91 Gulf War. There’s been a couple books & movies about it. “Bravo Two Zero” is McNab’s story. The incident was kinda like a “Lone Survivor” moment for the UK.

This Robert De Niro at his most badass , he's not just a criminal he actually knows close combat in this film & is a master villain that outsmarted everyone including himself but being a wolf gave him that final taste for blood to kill the AB guy at the end that he just couldn't resist!!!! Tom Sizemore & Val Kilmore & Pacino killed it too!!!! Its my favorite heist movie & it gets better after each watch & its got the most iconic shootout & the late night cinematography with the lights & the blues are amazing & that dinner scene with De Niro and Pacino is iconic & legendary 💯🐺 Check out Micheal Manns other heist/bank robber film "Public Enemies" with Johnny Depp & Christian Bale playing cat n mouse & its another film based on a true story even more than this film

[@courtneyharris5957]

Aye bro……you really might be the king of predictions 😂

[@Sig509]

1995 HEAT and 1998 Ronin are two great action movies with De Niro, form the time when he still was a legitimate actor (just look at his IMDB for like lat 15-20 years, very little good stuff). The shootout here is iconic AF, and probably the best in movie history, and there are also other scenes which inspired e.g. video games (like the armored car robbery). For me it is an uneven movie though, a lot of good stuff, mixed with medicore. Enjoyable, but more in a way that you gonna enjoy and remember particular scenes than the whole movie. Ronin is more even, but even there what people remember most is the car chase, or the planning scene with Sean Bean

[@folkblues4u]

In an interview (can't recall where) Pacino talked about the fact that his character in this film was (at least on paper) chipping cocaine to help him with the crazy hours, stress, and to keep him sharp - like he mentions to his wife. For whatever reason they decided to leave those scenes on the cutting room floor, so at times his character comes across weird, because you don't have the context of his substance use. However, if you ever watch this again, now that you know that bit of info, his character makes TOTAL sense.

[@Loser-lh8di]

Everything about the bank heist is beautiful. All the way down to the scenes right before and right after. Before they walk in the bank you see Eady packing up to leave; getting ready to go with Neil to New Zealand. Then you see Charlene with Domonic as he plays with his toys. After the bank and the shootout you see Elaine, Michael's wife, watching TV as she sees her husband is dead. Then you see Lily, Breedan's wife, in a bar and she sees that he has been killed in the shootout as well. The two women whose partners survived before. The two whose partners died after. Poetry.

[@spurs22]

Some fun facts about this movie: 1. One of the most famous gangsters in France, Redoine Faid, said this movie inspired him to do heist and even followed the movie heist and made one identical. He has escaped prison two times. Look him up, very interesting person 2. Al Pacino was actually high on cocaine when making this movie, he has admitted it. There was also a scene when he snorted a line of actual cocaine but they decided to not show it in the movie 3. The scene when he was screaming great ass, they did that scene so many times that Al Pacino got tired and started screaming, the reaction of Hank Azaria was genuine. You can even hear someone say “Jesus” in the background 4. The coffee scene between Al Pacino & De Niro was shot on one take. They both agreed to not rehearse before the scene and it came out they way it did. De Niro also said this scene was the reason he accepted the role

[@TheGoodChap]

If you think the shootout scene was too long wait till you see the real life north Hollywood shootout, it lasted like 20 times longer irl.

[@kenjisparks]

Movies used to be long. Gone With The Wind and others. Today we have Oppenheimer. This is why the intermission break was created bit it was never a gimmick. If it was 3 hours then it needed to be. 3 hour films mean theres less showings in a day. Movie studios want to show a film as many times in a day as possible to maximize profits. If its 2.5 to 3 hours long then the director felt to tell the story correctly it needs to be.

1:03:40 actually pretty good if you are going long distance, you shift the weight vertical on you elbow. It would be a lot heavier holding horizontal. But, remember he is Vietnam vet they did do that. Modern military would have you carry close to your body, raise and shoot. Drills. Weapon pointed forward, close to body. only engage when you have the target. That kind of jazz

[@Loser-lh8di]

1995. The police weren't militarize yet. Only SWAT had heavy firepower. They advanced on the police with superior firepower, attacking the ambush before the police could get set up and before Special Weapons arrived.

[@Richie8406]

45:50 You have a post 9/11 mindset. In the 90's, the cops in the LAPD were not "militarized" as some would accuse them today. Stay that way, the threat is real. Back then they had 9mm handguns, good for 50-100 meters max. That is pushing it. You have the Heat team moving like a military with automatic weapons. They choose single, burst and full throughout. The marine corps used this as a training vid; Val Kilmer does a perfect combat reload. Suppressive fire, and chainlink move to cover. Also this scenario happened irl, in '98. When two idiots inspired by the movie went for a bank robbery in North Hollywood. 3 years after this film. The cops had no answer, waited for SWAT. Stuck in traffic on a training exercise. The cops, truly had to run to gun shops and get weapons adequate to defeat them. In the end, SWAT, in shorts and vests, ended the f**kers. There is a TV movie as well. But most irl vids are online
