Great reaction! <3

Michael Robayo

Finally, this masterpiece. I love that we see you guys slating! lol And Simone doesn't have a bad side.

JediLounger

Anytime I watch this movie I think of the North Hollywood Shootout that happened in early 1997. I had not seen Heat at that time as I was in 8th grade, I watched it a few years later when my brother got the double VHS set. But it really does feel like those dudes watched this movie multiple times before attempting that robbery. Fun fact, that incident contributed to the militarization of local police forces. America is the gift that keeps on giving lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvt_cixkvXw Edit: They set the cameras to cut 20 minutes before they walked into the bank. That’s what they were doing when they busted open the concrete ceiling in the parking garage and worked on a motherboard. Side note, the dude in the wheel chair who sold them the plans at the start of the movie was Tom Noonan, who played the Tooth Fairy in ManHunter, an adaptation of Red Dragon which was the first Hannibal Lecter book. Mann also directed that movie. So two serial killers from that franchise are in this movie.

Odd Thomas

In your face Ricky Bobby! Heat is one of the best films from the 90s and still my favourite Mann film (Talledga Nights is funny but how it nearly beat HEAT in a poll depresses me)

MacGuffinStuff

Have to mention the deleted scene stuff, backstory of Pacino's character, Lt. Vincent Hanna was written to be a cocaine addict, which explains some of his more erratic behavior. Edit: This is a goddamn MASTERPIECE. Two of the greatest American actors, face to face, finally, having both been in The Godfather Part 2, but never sharing the screen till this movie, I remember getting goosebumps the first time I saw them have a cup of coffee together. Michael Mann is The. And I also have to mention how he cast Wes Studi (Cherokee Nation), aka Magua from Last of the Mohicans (Michael Mann directed) as Detective Casals. I love Wes Studi, aka "Tough Pawnee" in Dances With Wolves, Geronimo in the biopic, and Chief Yellow Hawk in Hostiles.

Dalvory

Hopefully you guys don’t live in Kelowna now… So many have had to evacuate due to the wildfire.

Jack Urmson

Looking forward to rewatching this with your commentary. 👍🍿🎥

I vote for Rocky and Bullwinkle as the next one up, personally.

Shane Darcy

Great reaction! You guys have to get around to ‘Scarface’ eventually if you enjoyed this!

Ph4ZeD

Great reaction and unbelievable film

Prof. Writhms

Simone... Cinemommie! *hug* 🤣

Carlos Hurtado

I liked simone's prediction about One of the crew members being Natalie Portman's Dad. That could have made for a cool angle. With that being said, I do like Portmans story. It felt so real. My sister went through similar shit when she was growing up. Her dad was a deadbeat who constantly made promises that he never kept. It was very hard on her.

Tenn Seven

Robert De Niro was in a firefighter movie, and that movie was called "Backdraft"! Edit: Also, George, if you were listening earlier in the movie, the guy who sold them the bank job told them they would shut off all the cameras and emergency lines 20 minutes before the robbery. That's why they had the scene where they cut through the ceiling of the parking garage and replaced those computer components, and that's why they weren't worried about being caught on camera.

droodly

Great reaction to a great movie I hadn't seen before! The thing I noticed that made me furious, was after Natalie Portman's mom made it to the hospital, she took zero accountability. Every bit of her dialog was blaming her kid for what she did, and she didn't have even a second of self reflection showing she recognized her part in her daughters neglect and desperation.

Reid Mclellan

I usally stick to just voting instead of individual recommendations but it looks like You guys seemed to love Al Pacinos crazy performance, so it would be amiss to not recommend Scarface if you want more spicy Pacino action.

Luetin

oh my god, finally. Praise Jeebus. Its been way overdue to watch this.

REDR58
>>115582951

More really unhinged Pacino can be found in “Devil’s Advocate” from 1997. Plus, it has Keanu Reeves!

Tenn Seven

Lol. "The Wire" is what I was thinking too like, "how does Hannah get this kind of police budget??" Also, I don't think you guys recognized him, but Hannah's right-hand man, the guy with the mustache, is played by Ted Levine, the guy who played Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs (he also played captain Stottlemeyer in Monk).

Dalvory

I share George’s hatred of banks. NSF fees are theft.

Odd Thomas

You should also watch Destroyer with Nicole Kidman. Excellent heist movie. Heat reminded me of it.

ChickensAreRacist

Loved the reaction! Now I wanna finally read the book sequel to it. Has great reviews and apparently a lot of flashbacks so I’m assuming we’ll get more Neil and hopefully more family dynamics of Pacino and Portman and all.

redddfer44

The third Godfather is nowhere near terrible. It's not god-tier like the first two, but it's really worth a watch.

Dalvory

“Cinemommy” aaaaand here come the simps 😂

JoshG

That joke at the end was TERRIBLE George 😂

Alex Ch

Love this. Crazy it took 25 years of their careers for Pacino and DeNiro to do their first scene together in the diner. For an incredible but incredibly different film from Mann and Pacino, there’s The Insider.

christopher b swanson

I think Godfather 3 is massively underrated...........but it is weighted down by history when the 1st 2 are considered masterpieces that both won Best picture...............no 3rd movie in any franchise can bear that burden, but seen with an open mind and an understanding that yes it isn't as good, it is very good.........middle aged man perspective.................also george, please get up and stretch, id rather u miss a moment than risk injuries long term, sitting sucks

bietz
>>115582306

You know she's not the main character, right? We see a few minutes of her throughout the whole film. People react to stressful situations very differently in their state of shock. Anger is a very early stage in grief. She is processing outloud. It seems weird to be furious with a minor character whose child just attempted to off-themselves.

christopher b swanson

also, I love this movie, a top movie of the 90s..........saw it in theaters............that said id edit about 15 mins out and it would be perfect at 235 instead of 250..............I hated the side quest of Murderers by waynegrove and might have trimmed down natalie portman

REDR58

CG during the scene with Eady and Neil, I think that’s just a composite shot of a real background and the actors overlaid.

REDR58

The “wide shot” you both asked about, the area where they met the guy with the white pickup truck double-cross guy, it’s an old drive-in movie place. You can even see the sign for it when Neil’s crew leaves. The numerous posts were where the speakers that you’d use to hear the movie would be mounted.

Lana Gorgeous

I saw this in the movies when it came out and near the end when he pulled off the road to go after Waynegro, there was an audible gasp throughout the audience! AS bad as he was the audience seemed to want them to get away as a couple!

sarCC

"Fick-ner"!

ThePVO

In the script Eady is a 30 something Chinese immigrant with no family who's a successful graphic artist and also an insomniac, she manages the bookstore at night to have something to do. It plays better and has more emotional weight because she and Neil are closer to equals.

Brant

Christopher Nolan has cited this movie as a big influence on how he portrayed the scale of the story and the city of Gotham in The Dark Knight. Also, it’s loosely based on actual events.

Grand Moff Slackin'

I don’t like that Justine gets all the hate when it comes to what happened to her daughter, Lauren. There was also a father and step father that dropped the ball as well. I think they both deserve blame too. Being a cop doesn’t excuse not being a father/father-figure. And there is a Heat 2. Michael Mann wrote the book recently. It focuses on Kilmer’s character.

Marco

Great reaction. Got to add True Romance to the list. Written by Quentin Tarantino with an increíble cast.

JayF

Great reaction! Neither of you seemed to recognize Ted Levine but he was the cop with the bushy mustache. Simone you get a pass on this one but George I'm disappointed that you didn't recognize Henry Rollins who played Van Zant's main henchman. I figured you'd at least know of him. If you don't then check out the official video for his song "Liar" and let us know what you think.

Travis

I’m dying to know what kind spicy thing was said at the end during your recap that you had to edit out lol

Jack Urmson

A couple more of Michael Mann’s movies to check out would be Last of the Mohicans and The Insider.

REDR58

Watch “Bullitt” (1968) with Steve McQueen sometime. Great film and possibly an influence on Heat. Great music and still so cool. Also, check out “The French Connection” from 1971 with Gene Hackman. It’s another classic police thriller. Anyway, great reaction!

Daniel Popp

Fun Fact: The famous diner scene is based on a true story. A county sheriff was dealing with a string of bank robberies in his jurisdiction, and while he didn't have any evidence, he knew who it was leading the heists. He found the lead heist guy in a diner and had a conversation with him. Tried to convince him to stop before more people got hurt. Lead guy made it clear he wasn't going to stop, sheriff finally gunned him down at the next bank heist.

FranciscoGios

Guys this movie inspired the robbery in Hollywood, California back in 1997; go type in ‘looking back at the 1997 North Hollywood Shootout’ and see what I’m talking about.

Brendan Rafferty

In your reaction commentary, during the bank robbery, you both asked why they weren’t wearing masks when they came in and why they weren’t concerned about the security cameras. •sigh•. One of the downsides of speaking during the film, which you obviously must, is that you miss a lot…. In this case, three separate times where they talked about disabling the cameras and alarms, as well as the actual scene where they disabled the cameras and alarms. 😀

Brendan Rafferty

Something most people miss: When this movie was released, there was a lot of hype about this being the first film where Al Pacino and Robert De Niro appear on the screen together. But they actually don’t. They are never on screen together during the famous diner conversation… that scene is shot from only two angles… over DeNiro’s shoulder looking at Pacino… and over Pacino’s shoulder looking at DeNiro. Neither actor was on camera at the same time. Stand-ins were used. This is noticeable as when one’s face is in camera, we only see the unmoving back of the other character’s head… no shots showing both faces or even partial faces on screen together. It also shows in the dialog as they never overlap or interrupt each other so there is a fill beat between actors taking turns. Even the final shootout at the airport… their faces are never seen on screen at the same time. Even the end scene where Pacino’s character holds DeNiro’s character’s hand… all we see is the back of a very still stand-in for Pacino as DeNiro’s dying character faces the camera. The only time their faces share the screen is for a couple of seconds when Pacino pulls DeNiro over on the highway and invites him for coffee. And DeNiro is out of focus, leading to speculation they might have been digitally put together

George mentions something about it right at the end and I'm SO intrigued!

Chase Lonnergan

Lol. George almost said my name right this time. Love it.

Jacob King
>>115608971

Fichtner is in the heist scene in The Dark Knight as a reference; “Criminals in this town used to believe in something!”

redddfer44

Recommendation for Pacino: "Dog Day Afternoon". Just a stupidly good movie with John "Fredo Corleone" Cazale. I didn't love the film as much on this rewatch as I used to (I had a hard time following both the plot and the character motivations and I was too focused on feeling regret of not having made a move towards a girl who looked like Ashley Judd but prettier), but the three hours just flew by. Watching two of my favorite actors being good at their jobs might have something to do with. I'm really hoping that the "Scarface" thing at the end implies something about your future reactions...

djKENTO

Godfather 3 is not TERRIBLE. Terrible films don’t get nominated for best picture. It’s jut not what on par with the others but like… what films are perfect 3 entries in a row? Lord of the Rings and what else? Like basically nothing. Also there’s a new edit of Godfather 3 that improves the story in a handful of ways.

Cinebinge
>>115615899

oh so basically Simones camera went out in the middle of the convo as we were talking about other movies with De Niro, and we didnt realize it till we were nearly done that conversation so we had to cut camera, fix it, then roll again. But we dont wanna pretend like we didnt already talked about something and re-say it just to say it, and we also didnt want to explain the whole technical thing right at the end of the video so we just decided to wrap it up instead. Its really just like 30 more seconds of reading Robert DeNiros imdb page.

Starromania72

Love this movie - I never think of it as a 3-hour movie because it just doesn't feel like one. It doesn't feel bloated from too many courses and while there are plenty of quiet moments to allow digestion, the pacing, dialogue and tension stop those moments from dragging on. The guitar piece as Pacino goes to meet De Niro (smack dab at the mid-point of the movie) is a cover of Joy Division's "New Dawn Fades" by Moby, who also did the outro music as it goes to credits, "God Moving over the Face of the Waters". For more De Niro action, my recommendation is for "Ronin". Based solely off one of Simone's comments near the very end of the movie (but without specifying exactly which comment for spoilers' sake) and otherwise unrelated to heisting, I'd recommend Australian war movie "Breaker Morant" with Edward Woodward and Bryan Brown.

Shibby

Excellent movie. I appreciate all of your jokes.

The Insider is still my favorite Mann movie. (I hope they get around to watching all of them though...)

Alex Ch
>>115630134

I agree with your opinion on G3, but I also think there have been some truly awful films that have been nominated for best picture and even a couple winners

Graeme McCutcheon

It was no surprise you both loved this, but belatedly watching the May CineTalk afterwards, and during the Bourne Identity bit heard George talk about how he likes watching depictions of competent professionals being competent - you basically Michael Mann's whole flimography! (Side note: really sorry to hear in that same discussion about foreign movies getting no views. I'm here for them even if no-one else is!) As for the comments about bank fees: I think you two need to be adding "Hell Or High Water" (2016) to the reaction queue...

Matthew Schenck

The sound in this movie is sick. The gun battle in the streets especially. Michael Mann listened to the edited version and wondered why it wasn't as loud as it was on set. So they just left it in. Sounds like a gun fight would sound in a downtown area.

Asa Leon Barber

A couple talking points, from a longtime Heat Enjoyer: As others have noted, the Bank Firefight's incredible sound is allegedly the original audio from the filming. Traditionally, a shootout like that would have its audio replaced by studio recordings of the guns to make it sound "cleaner", but after Michael Mann heard the edited version, he threw it out, citing how terrifying it was to actually *be there* and hear the shots echo off of the canyon-like streets of Los Angeles. Additionally, Michael Mann hired professionals to train the actors to do their own weapons manipulation for the film, and more specifically, had the actors playing LAPD trained by former SWAT, while Neil's Crew was trained by former SAS (British Special Forces, known for their hyperaggressive tactics). As noted by others, the scene is shown to US Marine recruits as an example for how to retreat under fire, as well as how to properly perform an emergency reload (when Val Kilmer drops behind the car, quickly changes magazines, and immediately gets back up to continue shooting. It's meant as sort of an "If this fucking prettyboy actor can do it right, you fuckers better be able to do it better" type deal.) I find it interesting to hear George call Detective Hannah "Lawful Good". As I read it, his arc in the film is about re-learning the "Good" part of that equation. Throughout the film, we see him make careless mistakes that quite literally cost lives. Once Vincent gets the tip on the Bank Heist, he hastily sets up roadblocks and assembles a team of the only Beat Cops he could get on such short notice, despite knowing that they're probably underequipped to deal with such dangerous individuals and should have approached with much more caution, waiting to force an engagement until SWAT arrived (tailing them while they have the money in hand, etc). During the shootout, he continues to chase Neil through a crowd of bystanders, unwittingly putting them in more danger. He then proceeds to *shove them out of his way* to get a better shot at Neil. He doesn't care that they're getting shot, he just wants to catch his prey. He's only in it for the Hunt, at least until Lauren's suicide attempt reminds him of his human side. Only then is he worthy of Catching Neil. Speaking of which, Neil's motto is "never become attached to anything you can't leave behind in 30 seconds flat, when you feel the Heat coming around the corner." When Neil exits the hotel, he hesitates, getting an inkling that Hannah is close (a moment which, funnily enough, is highlighted by a firetruck passing across the shot), for exactly 42 seconds, before finally stepping away from Eady and turning to run away. Twelve seconds too long, and that costs him his life. I also want to defend Justine for a moment. Obviously, what she did was abhorrent, but from her perspective, she was trying to force Vincent to do something other than shut her down with dismissive responses. Every time she tries to approach the subject of their relationship with him in a healthy way, he's either clearly not listening ("I made dinner over four hours ago."/"...I'm sorry that the chicken got... Overcooked...") or just doesn't care that she's worried about him. Vincent does nothing to try to help this situation, and instead chooses to double down on the things he knows will ruin it (like having a reckless coffee date with his prime suspect instead of just doing the dishes), because he doesn't care. He's chasing the thrill of the Hunt, that's what gets him going, and he'll follow that until he gets that sweet release when he finally catches the "bad guy". In some ways, Neil is a better person than Vincent ever was, at least until he chooses to chase Waingro down instead of taking his Exit. Also, Vincent's outbursts and general demeanor are a result of a cut storyline involving his struggle with a cocaine problem. The storyline was cut, but Pachino kept the mannerisms. Sorry for the longwinded response. Heat is my favorite live action movie, because of all the nuance in the writing. It does everything it sets out to do at least competently, with spectacular action, superb writing, and great cinematography. Thank you for being the first of my favorite reactor crews to watch it, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts in more detail in the recap.

Darin Foat

This is one of my favorite films, and I love that you reacted to it. In fact, I signed up just to watch the full reaction for this one. It's such a masterfully constructed film, and it's written so well. I feel that one of the biggest challenges for a writer is to have two intelligent characters who are at odds with each other. The easiest way to make your protagonist seem smart is to make their opponent stupid. But virtually every character is at the top of their profession. Watching them circle around, size each other up and try to outsmart one another is so much fun.

ChickensAreRacist

This is worth a rewatch, y’all and the movie are so good. But it reminded me: George! You totally did a CK bit with the ‘bank charges you for not having enough money’. Haha. And yeah I know it’s a fact anyway, and possibly parallel thinking. I’m gonna enjoy assuming you saw CK’s bit on it ;)

dieselbeast

the third Godfather isn't shit, but that's the popular answer because it doesn't hold up to the first two but on its own its a decent film, it brings closure to the Corleone family story

Darin Foat
>>115622392

There were no stand ins used in the diner scene. Michael Mann has discussed this extensively in multiple interviews. Both actors were there for every take. In fact there was a third camera covering them in a two shot, but they decided not to use that angle in the edit. There would be no point in finding stand ins for either actor when they were both on set. And the scene plays as well as it does because they are both there, reacting to one another.

David Lonewolf Wright

This is in my top 10 movies list and it was fun watching it with you guys.

pinkdino99

Miami Vice is worth the watch. It has Mann's unique style which is always worth watching and a great cast including Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. It's a little cheesier than Heat, but even cheesy Mann is nowhere near as cheesy as any other action movie.

Jesse Coombs

Hey, it's almost two years later and I'm watching this again. My brother is in town and I haven't seen him for a year. He just watched Heat and I thought it would be really fun to catch it again. Thanks for keeping these older videos up! (Also, please add "The Insider", another great Michael Mann Movie to your list. It's so good!)

UncleGaGa1979

If you haven't already watched it, you gotta watch 24. Dennis Haysbert (he plays Donnie in this movie) is one of the best actors working and his performance on that show is nothing less than amazing.
