dude! it just hit me.... you're the guy who used to do those Game of Thrones screening at that bar! aw, man....I really enjoyed those, especially seasons 3 to 6. so, now you do movie reactions....cool. again, I'd recommend Train to Busan and...some 70s Pacino classics, Dog Day Afternoon, The 2 Godfathers...plus, other goodies, like Jaws, Exorcist, Rocky, Saturday Night Fever, Deer Hunter, Taxi Driver and Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. oh wait...you already did Exorcist. great.

1995 was a phenomenal year for the silver screen's crime genre = Heat, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, Casino, La Haine, etc...

Manhunter is amazing. Nobody ever realizes this was the first Hannibal lector movie. Red Dragon is a remake, and in my opinion, inferior in most ways.

Mann is outstanding

[@ttsg5601]

Mann is currently working on the sequel. The book Heat 2 1988-2000 was published in 2022. Adam Driver has been cast as Neil. Pacino and DeNiro were both in The Godfather part 2, but did not appear on screen together.

Masterpiece. Nobody ever thought to make an epic cops-and-robbers movie. Michael Mann did.

One of my favorite movies from my childhood! I saw this on a Double VHS Tape, where Part 1 is one the first tape, clocking in at 90 minutes, while the last 87 minutes are on the second tape. The shootout scene is one of the most realistic action sequences in film history.

[@multifoiled5850]

The "North Hollywood shootout" happens 2 years after this movie.

[@Loser-lh8di]

Remember, the alarms and cameras at the bank were turned off 20 minutes before they walked in the door. That was what they were doing in the parking garage the night before after they dumped their surveillance. Cutting into the bank's security system. So Chris not having his mask on while beating up the security guard or Neil and Mike putting their masks on a few minutes in didn't matter. There would be no security footage. The only reason the police even showed up to the bank was off a tip from Hugh Benny (Henry Rollins) on behalf of Van Sant because of Waingro. The bank's alarms never went off. And the take was 12 to 13 million. Go back and watch the scene with Kelso (Tom Noonan), the guy with the huge beard in the wheelchair that Neil bought the bank score from. A lot of really important information in that scene.

[@PurushaDesa]

The paradox of Michael Mann's protagonists, and what makes his films so compelling, is his men operate at the highest possible level of tradecraft expertise while demonstrating a disturbing lack of emotional intelligence. The gap between those two dimensions - Thief, Heat, The Insider, Collateral - is why you go back to these films again and again.

[@SeanTanktop]

Facts

[@hussmoosbally8929]

Class reaction lads. I saw this when it came out at the cinema. The shootout on a pro sound system was deafening. There is a TV movie that came out in 2003 with Michael Madson called "44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out". It is done in a docu/drama style and is based on the true story and I think you will all love it as it is real live Heat. I remember the news at the time on British television showing these guys in a gunfight with the LA fuzz and it was crazy.

[@KamilDevonish]

This was a great reaction. Noticing the Moby track at the end...chef's kiss. Reminded me of my thinking when i first watched it 30 years ago.

[@barrylieberman5954]

And the version of GMOTFOTW that they use at the end is a special Heat edit, since the original doesn’t have the Crescendo

[@toddkonrad2407]

I remember my older sister taking me to see this at the local dollar theater, tail end of the theatrical run. The heist shoot out using the real gunfire audio was sooooo fucking loud and incredible. Closest experience to it at that time was her also taking me to see Pulp Fiction at the first run spot.

[@arctan2010]

The coffee shop scene in *_Heat_* was worth the price of admission.

[@nullunit]

People always go on about John Wick's action scenes, which I do love, but Michael Mann had already made some of the best shootouts in this and Collateral like a full decade before JW was even a concept. My favorite bit of lore is that Val Kilmer's reloads and movement in this are used to bully marine or seals; "If you can't reload and get back on target as fast as this actor, you suck and should quit." Val Kilmer had a really great run of films in here with like heat, The Doors, Tombstone, it always baffled my why he never went big, big. I have seen this movie so many times I never need to watch it again but I love the excuse of watching it with the MMM crew. Nice to see it still hits even though it is rather old at this point. When I was kid if you watched a movie from like 20-30y before it was borderline if you would even relate to it.

[@SeanTanktop]

yeah, and a lot less fantasy horseshit. this feels WAY more real. You watch the HEAT behind the scenes and DeNiro and Kilmer are doing ALMOST exactly the field training that Keanu did, all due respect, but didn't have the internet to falate them over it.

[@paulhewes7333]

1:04:04 Dude has hella good ear. Great tune.

[@OmegaSaiyan92]

9:38 he's the heist situation trope, everybody is a professional, except for the one guy who gets off on killing people, and he always fucks everything up.

[@dnllrnt]

Watching the Val Kilmer documentary and he talks about filming Heat and Batman Forever at the same time. You can clearly hear and see where his heart and head were. He saw Batman as a paycheck and Heat as a once in a lifetime role to be with an absolute powerhouse cast and director. As huge a Batman fan as I was at the time, I totally understand his mindset.

[@jp3813]

Ironic given that he was the lead on Batman Forever and a supporting actor in this film.

[@charlesnyckd]

He had a better time working with Michael Mann and his costars on Heat than he did with Batman Forever and everyone in it.

[@raymondterry1937]

This movie got me into Moby for a bit. "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" was a good entry point.

[@aussiejed1]

You all should watch "Ronin", another De Niro action/crime movie.

[@omegashinra7672]

I love that everyone was just silent for the Coffee scene. Absolutely a perfect scene, and so simple but carried by two giants.

[@stovesofa]

Been checking out the MMMs practically from the beginning. Made a suggestion for this a long time ago and got a comment heart from you guys. It’s great to watch this after a day at work. Great reaction and commentary as usual!

[@dnllrnt]

(Trejo gets put out of his misery) Sean: GREAT house 😂 I want to say that the house was in the process of being sold, when the new homeowners saw the movie they pulled the carpet up in the room with Trejo and sure enough there was a blotch of makeup blood from the shoot 😆😆

[@SeanTanktop]

Listen! Good real estate is good real estate!

[@crigarsha]

Michael Mann is known for making the location of the movie one of the main characters! This movie is an homage to Los Angeles. On a side note...i've still yet to see a reactor comment on the massive lump looking thing on Val Kilmer's elbow when he wakes up in Neal's beach house! ICK!!!

[@christianc.2664]

I recently found out Kilmer got that lump on his elbow doing a stunt in The Doors.

[@CurseTheCosmos]

I’ll also add that this film was a direct inspiration for Grand Theft Auto V.

[@eltravos99]

I recently watched Heat and I was like...wait...is Robert De Niro's house that one house in GTA5? The one that is held up by stilts? Called a stilt home. It might not be the same house.

[@diaphanouswaffle]

A+ for me, too-one of my all time favorite films. Doesn't seem too long-if they cut anything from this, I feel like the whole would suffer...it's like a perfect meal, every ingredient was necessary. It has it all: tenderness, trauma, visceral thrills, understated moodiness, brief moments of carefree revelry, and such economy of dialogue (no unnecessary blah blah). Then that poignant ending scene with the music from Moby-it makes me tear up every time ! Thanks for showcasing this epic/classic :)

[@charlesnyckd]

42:20 Michael Mann discussed that point in the commentary: Neil is a sociopath. He cares about Chris but not you. Hanna preserves life. The difference in how they fire their weapons is evident as well.

[@sunnybee2439]

I was listening/watching the reaction to GOT this morning at work and was thinking when does a MMM reaction coming out and what do you know?...Heat, loveee this movie! Let's go! And then The Last of the Mohicans, wow!! Last one saw it in theatres, what an experience to say the least, thanks guys❤

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Christmas, 1995. Everyone in the theater was completely blown away. And that line, maybe their stealing hubcaps. Cracked me up.

[@broodhunter21]

What people will not notice. I used to be a manager at a DIY store. Got to watch on video, a guy take a pre-hung door (so a door in the frame), and just walk right thru a cashier isle, and out the door, Nobody stopped him, nobody addressed him. If you walk with a purpose, everyone assumes you know what your doing and its all solid. Before I saw it myself, you would never have convinced me that a guy could steal a door, let alone a pre-hung door, and nobody would notice.

[@CynicalRam]

“Hold on let’s take this in” lmao that shit killed me

[@moderndancingfool]

Yeah I bawl like a baby at the end to this day. I love films that feel like someone just decided to just meditate on their work & create a masterpiece (& took the time to do it) It reminded me of the feel of a couple of the movies that I really appreciate (one by Mann as well - Manhunter & the other by Friedkin - To Live & Die In LA) If the crew hasn't really watched them, they would be interesting future watches for the Mondays.

[@SeanTanktop]

To Live and Die is on the way!

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Pacino is Major Case detective. A lieutenant, Armored car Robberies Bank Robberies. I watch these reactions and learn that people really think every Police Officer is alike, THERE NOT. I have a family full of Cops going back 40 years. When the first guy on the end started talking about the scene where Pacino stopped the Officer from running after a Major Criminals for breaking and entering. With a Paid Lawyer that 3 years best. Major Crimes is 20+ Life or Death Row. That job is for patrol officers not a Detective. Even if a Cop sees a petty crime and doesn't admittedly call it in there are reasons. First location, every area is assigned to a particular and a rule in enforcement: Don't step on other Cops. Many things can happen just trying to help.

[@solarpilot]

I was hoping you'd do Heat for MMM. I remember seeing it for the first time at a friend's sleepover when I was 12, and it blew my frickin' mind, even if I couldn't appreciate all the nuance and brilliant acting at the time. Watching it again as an adult, I'm certain it's one of the finest examples of visual storytelling in my generation.

[@secretcow4228]

you know at the end it takes neil about 30 seconds to start walking away after he spots vincent

[@musicman2047]

Interesting fact, Tom Cruise in Collateral wears the same suit as Robert de Niro in Heat

[@oberynmartell7758]

"Ferocious aren't I?" The deleted line😑

[@scottlouis]

One of my fav movies of all time. The Natalie Portman twist was planned by Mann. He said in the director commentary that he wanted the audience to forget about her the way her family has. So effective. Such a shock.

[@fester2306]

The best film to not receive any Oscar nominations.

[@megabrak83]

I always wonder how is possible to really appreciate this kind of masterpiece talking so much 😂???

[@tipigi3570]

One thing, in my opinion, that makes this movie so very good, is that Mann makes us like both sides almost equally as well. We like Pacino, and we want him to win, but at the same time, we want DeNiro and Kilmer to get away. Most movies give us cardboard cutouts for the "bad guys", but here, we like them.

[@reservoirdude92]

The ending of this film, man. I dare any man not to tear up.

[@griffnuts]

You guys should stick on the De Niro crime films and watch Ronin as well. One of the greatest car chases in movie history. Also this was a great watch party of one of my favourite films. Great work.

[@dnllrnt]

Scott brought up a real interesting idea. Performing an experiment in a bank to see what people wouldn't notice, especially nowadays where minding your business is a hobby practiced by damn near everyone.

[@4zn1nv4zn3]

I think that one big shootout after the failed bank robbery did inspire that one GTA4 mission.

[@313gwar]

Also a mission in GTA5 that literally includes a garbage truck crashing into an armored truck.

[@gggooding]

Thief (1981) is _kinda_ a prequel to Heat. Witten and directed by Mikey Mann again and stars James M'F'in Caan. Its not as *epic* as Heat, but it's arguably the better movie in some ways.

[@DoktorStrangelove]

Great video, guys. Really entertaining reaction to an excellent film. Also: Two in the chest/one in the head is sometimes called a Mozambique Drill. Originated in South Africa.

[@omegashinra7672]
