I got a recommendation that I haven't seen reactions for. Bowfinger. It's hilarious. Eddie Murphy plays two wildly different characters and I thought he should have gotten two Oscar nominations, one for each character.
Saw HEAT in the movie theatre 1st day it came out. When it ended 75% of the place just sat there while the credits rolled. That cast. Those camera shots. Michael Mann. That ending. Then moby’s piece plays right into the credits. Absolute perfection. They do not make movies like this anymore.........
yea there's no magic with movies anymore. Everything now gotta be super realistic which makes the films bland and boring cause there's no spice to them. Also, movies nowadays dont have great scores to them as much anymore. The last movie with a great score was Sicario.
@@MUSICLOVER23429 My two favorites: 1984 = Ghostbusters, Terminator, Karate Kid, Gremlins, NeverEnding Story, Temple of Doom, Beverly Hills Cop, Footloose, This Is Spinal Tap, Romancing the Stone, Nightmare on Elm Street, Splash, The Natural, Red Dawn, Last Starfighter, Sixteen Candles, Top Secret, Purple Rain, Amadeus, Once Upon a Time in America, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, etc... 1994 = Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Lion King, Leon: The Professional, Natural Born Killers, Ed Wood, Speed, True Lies, The Crow, Interview with the Vampire, Drunken Master 2, The Mask, Stargate, Legends of the Fall, Heavenly Creatures, Fist of Legend, Clear and Present Danger, Maverick, Clerks, Dumb & Dumber, etc...
@CYB3R2K30 Especially the handguns. They all sounded like cannons, even the Beretta 9mm's. Example: Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc. They don't sound a thing like that in real life. Revolvers all had the Dirty Harry .44 Magnum sound too. Even Dr. Loomis's revolver in the first Halloween had that same sound FX when he shot Michael Myers off the balcony at the end of the movie.
Fun fact Val Kilmer found out that the scene of him laying down covering fire and reloading with the m4 in the street shootout, was later used by a military drill sargent and told him men to reload as fast as Val was during the scene.
@@HelloMellowXVI Dennis Haysbert is KNOWN for being a great actor including his role as The President of the United States during the first 3 seasons of "24" with Kiefer Sutherland.
As good as this cast is, and it is really fucking good, it gets extra points for having my man Henry Rollins, punk singer/comedian/talk show host/raconteur extraordinaire as a henchman.
Great reaction to a GREAT movie. Some fun trivia about this film: The diner scene between Pacino and De Niro was unrehearsed. They just showed up and shot it in the most natural simple way possible In the epic shootout scene, they ended up using the production audio from the actual mics recording the sound of all those guns firing blanks, which is extremely rare. Almost all audio in films is added in post, but Mann and the audio designer on set were so floored by the immense sound of the guns echoing among the big buildings they couldn't recreate the intensity in post The beautiful song at the end is Moby - God Moving Over the Face of the Waters. There was originally a composed cue for the end but at the last minute Mann went with the Moby track and it's perfect. One of my favorite endings of any film. The actors trained with military instructors for the shootout scenes and it's often held up as one of the most realistic gunfight scenes in all of film. Famously, the shot of Val Kilmer firing both ways down the street and then reloading is shown to Marine recruits as an example of a perfect reload under fire and if this actor can do it so can they.
Not sure where you heard that thing about showing Val Kilmer reloading to marine recruits but its absolute bollocks, its total shite! Think about it, why would they show a clip from a film when they can just show them how to do it themselves with actual guns? Don't care how well Val does it, bottom line is he is an actor not a professional weapons specialist. The military are not going to rely on actors to train recruits on how to operate firearms in any capacity, that would be beyond retarded!
@@amazingusername8925 they use that scene (or used to) more to show how to retreat rather than for reload training... but maybe they do for that as well.
This was actually Danny Trejos first movie. He just got out of prison and was an advisor for some stuff and the director loved him so much he gave him a part
The gunfight scene was shown to us as a perfect example of "suppressive fire on the move" on the part of Deniro's team when I went through Marine Corps Officer's Basic School in Quantico, VA.
I saw this in the theater as a high school kid. The most intense gun shootout scene I’ve ever seen. I’m in my 40s now and I still can’t think of a scene that comes close to topping this. Michael Mann nailed it when he showed cops with 9mm and shotguns are no match for full auto, even if outnumbered.
@@porkflaps4717 This wasn't an average flick at all. An actor no matter how great can only be so good with the given material and direction, but the script and Mann's direction is top tier filmmaking given the subject. It's a brilliant movie with great characters illustrating the dichotomy of criminals and police.
During the heist scene where Val Kilmer's character is clearly not wearing his mask, he was intentionally drawing all of the attention away from the other two. It's a diversion as his appearance is easily changed after the heist with a new 'Out' and in the chaos witnesses will only remember him looking the way he did during the robbery instead of the other two. Pretty clever actually.
Nice editing, I gotta say. You had some great scenes in there. Wish the scene where Bob says he's alone but not lonely was in there and also the 30 seconds monologue, but whatever. The great ass scene was improvised. Christopher Nolan did in fact take inspiration from this when he made The Dark Knight. Another Michael Mann film I think you'd love is Collateral, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. It has some similarities to Heat, also takes place in LA.
I saw this in the theater 3 times when it was brand new. It was clear to me it was an instant classic. Val Kilmer is my favorite actor and Michael Mann created my all-time favorite TV series, "Miami Vice". Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this might have been Danny Trejo's first movie.
The scene with al and old Bob in the diner was the first they was ever in together. Not sure what order this movie was shot but that scene was first in the movie to the public. pure acting brilliance right there. They were both in a godfather but never the same scene. Great reaction
One of my favorite movies good choice. Little trivia: Pacino acted like his character was using cocaine but it’s never shown, showing why he was erratic. The money bags they were carrying would equate to between 70 and 88lbs if they were carrying $4 million
3:08 that's how you're supposed to do it: two to the sternum, one to the head. Waingro done f'd up, and this guy gotta clean up his mess. This literally sets off the whole story, cause shooting the guards is why Pacino gets brought into this. I recently re-watched this and I loved how every piece of this story sets up every other piece. Not enough movies do that these days.
You gotta understand the context of this movie too. When this came out in 1995, Pacino and DeNiro had NEVER shared a scene together in a movie. The marketing for this movie was built around the fact that these two would be face to face for the first time, cop vs robber. The coffee shop scene was what everybody paid to see!
One of, if not the best gun battles in movie history. I love how they use the actual sound of the rifles instead of dubbing over it in post. And the tactics used by the actors are fantastic. Den of Thieves is another excellent movie that pay homage to this one and definitely worth watching
Another movie by the same director is Collateral, which is also freaking amazing. Similar vibe, stars an "unusual" Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. If you haven't already seen it, check it out.
Do yourself a favor and find the blu-ray or a DVD with Mann's audio commentary. Mann is an accuracy nerd, everything is exhaustively researched, and a thing he likes to do is cast the absolute, top-of-the-heap A-list actors alongside non-actors playing themselves. A lot of the cops in this movie weren't actors, they're real cops, many of them had lines. Both lead characters were based on real people and the cafe scene is something that really happened between them. (Another true anecdote that made it into the movie was Pacino's character taking his TV in a fit of rage and later dumping it on the street) His brother is a Navy SEAL and consults on the shootouts His inspiration to make this movie happened when he shot a prison drama on location at a prison. He learned about prison culture and how a lot of organized crime starts with connections and networks made in prison. That's how they have that system set up where somebody's "job" is just casing targets and planning heists, and then selling the plan to Ed Noonan, who then sells the plan to Di Niro's crew who actually does the heist.
@20:46: This moment when Val goes straight from smiling and swaggering to full-auto gunfire fulfills Pacino's comment early on that "...these guys are rock n roll at the drop of a hat..." Utterly ruthless.
I saw this in the cinema on release, and the noise of the street shootout scene elicited gasps from the packed audience. It was like you were on the street amongst the firing. Great memory.
That "CAUSE SHE GOT A GREAT ASS" was pure Pacino which is why Hank Azaria had that stunned look on his face. Also Dennis Haysbert may be the "Allstate guy" to you but to me and a lot of other people he is Pedro Cerrano
I enjoyed your reaction. Always got me crackin up with you, dude. I remember when this was coming out. It was a big deal because this was two titans at the top of their game, sharing the screen for the first time. The teaser and first trailer for this were hyping everyone up back in 95. For some reason it was completely overlooked during award season. Why, I have no idea. Great performances. So many great scenes. The score. The directing. If you liked this, you should watch Goodfellas, Carlito's Way, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Raging Bull, The Godfather I and II.
I first saw this film on the big screen when it first came out December 1995. Although I was familiar with Michael Mann's work to that point, it can say this is easily one of my favorite films of all time. His attention to every detail of the production completely absorbs me into the world. Just like another favorite filmmaker of mine David Fincher.
The videogame background was actually shot in camera. Mann's commentary on this is amazing. Also, this is his second attempt making Heat. Look up LA Takedown. It's the same movie but made for TV.
my all time favorite movie. Always have to represent in comments when I see a reaction to Heat. Great Movie in every way possible. Cast, Acting, Drama, Plot, Writing, Character Development, Interpersonal Conflict, Dialogue, Action, Suspense, Twists, Believe Ability etc. Anything you can think of that makes a good movie this movie does good. A true Masterpiece.
Crazy as it is, that was the first time DeNiro and Pacino shared a scene together. When the movie came out, noone believed it was true, thought their egos were too big to be in the same scene together. It was thought they filmed it separately with stand ins.
this shit is so dope. been lovin all over this film for 26 years holy shit. we were just kids and it was the first movie played when setting up your SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM(or Matrix).f'n Michael Mann man. killed it. "This stuff is just beamed out all over the place. Ya just gotta know how to grab it. See I know how to grab it." thanks for this MellVerse.🤘
What’s great about watching you react to a great movie for the first time is that it’s like turning a good friend on to a great movie. That feeling you get when you watch them go “oh damn!” 😀
Heat is probably Michael Mann’s best film, and it’s funny how many people remember or think its as a Scorsese or Coppola film. DeNiro and Pacino are lifelong friends, and both connected to Scorsese and Coppola. it’s funny how this was only their second film together since GF2. So a lot of people kinda of lump them all in together, and because this was such a good crime/drama a lot of people forget this was by Michael Mann, who has an impressive resume, but it doesn’t come close to Scorsese or Coppola who are the masters in crime drama. Heat is probably In Pacino’s top 5 films, and in DeNiro’s top 10 films, in terms of performance. And it you weren’t aware, this movie is connected to the real life North Hollywood Shoot out about two years after its release, which was crazy. I actually watched it live on the news, and it was an insane story in itself. I remember it being a major topic around gun control, and also a reason why Police today have more accessibility to long gun/high powered/larger magazine rifles. weapons which even in LA were usually reserved for SWAT at the time. I won’t argue the merits or faults of that subject, but I will say that I do remember seeing watching it unfold. I feel Heat kinda got an unfair rap for a while because of this event. But thankfully it passed in time, unfortunately it was probably because some other tragedy connected to some other influence that people could direct their anger towards. I guess we will always be looking for reasons to justify out outrage. It’s a timeless yet futile endeavor. Great reaction.
Regarding the improv, actually the main actors were allowed great freedoms in this movie. In many scenes instead of a written dialogue script they were told what the situation was and allowed to just bring it home. You can tell especially with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Val Kilmer's scenes. It brings this movie to life, and is part in what makes it so great!
The shootout in this movie was based on a true event that happened in North Hollywood. It also took 2 weeks to film as Director Michael Mann feared it was gonna rain.
Actually HEAT was released in 1995, North Hollywood was 1997. When the film came out the bank heist was criticized as being completely unrealistic as an event that could never happen in the real world.
Awesome once again! You're reactions, editing and commentary are very entertaining! Val Kilmer and that awful ponytail kill it! The shootout scene is one of my favorite! 🤘 ♥️ 😁 I remember part of the hype about this movie was Di Niro and Pacino's first actual scene together. So intense! You really have to watch True Romance! Talk about an all star cast! Keep up the great work! ✌️
This is most certainly one of my absolute favorites, Robert de Niro Al Pacino Val kilmer and all them, Steller performances. Drama and action and the flow of the story is wonderful
Kevin Gage had some legal issues a few years after this movie came out. While he was in prison, the other prisoners *and* the guards all called him Waingro.
Great movie. Every once in awhile, for my taste at least, Pacino takes it a little too over the top, but he certainly never ruins the film, and he's amazing in most of it.
Heat was born from Michael Mann's tv-movie L.A. Takedown which Heat is basically a remake of. Much of the dialogue, including the entire coffee shop scene, is the same. Because Heat is a superior film and Mann is probably a little embarassed by his very early effort L.A. Takedown is very hard to get a copy of but you can find some clips of it on RUclips.
No they had been robbing banks forever before that they were called the high incident bandits but this movie might have inspired them to actually try to shoot their way out.
Now this film... Is just easily one of the films I can actually call a Flawless Masterpiece! By the way, I haven't recommend a film in quite some time since Tropic Thunder I think, would like to suggest a similar film which is called : Point Break 1991 with Keanu Reeves and Late PATRICK Swayze! I hope you do a reaction to it! It's an absolute Classic!
Flawless?!.. LMAO.. Ok, where were the helicopters that were buzzing around all movie?.. Nowhere to be found when the heist happens?!.. We’re they being refueled?.. lol..
@@jacobjones5269 That's just nitpicking. I'd hazard a guess that perhaps law enforcement didn't want helicopters flying around to alert the crew of bank robbers of anything until the cops were all in position. Plus I don't think he meant flawless as in the law enforcement were flawless in everything they did, lol.
@@kevincola3184 Hey, brother... I’m not out there looking for plot holes to expose... However, when you spend 2.5 hours showing us there’s helicopters everywhere, then yeah... I’m gonna wonder where they are during the heist.. It’s just laziness by Mann, because he wanted to let these guys get away.. Well, real cops aren’t like that.. In fact, real cops will put a dozen helicopters overhead if they believe it will prevent a crime.. A large crime.. The movie really is just a terrible movie.. It’s too long, it’s auteur, or at least tries to be, when it’s unnecessary.. The women are ridiculous, every single one of them.. It’s a fucking mess, IMO..
Michael Mann is one of my favorite filmmakers, its worth going down his filmography for sure, this one is pretty great but all of his films r special in their own way. This was based on actual events, the snitch Waingro character was a real person who switched on some people, his body was found in northwestern New Mexico tortured to death and nailed to shed
My favorite movie of all time. Filled entirely on location in Los Angeles. No sound stage used. The shoot out was shown during Marine Corp Basic Training due to the realism and the proper covering fire and move tactics. There is a theory based on the lines of the movie that Deniro and Pachino characters were brothers.
I really enjoy your movie reactions. You actually recognize and acknowledge the quality of the writing, acting, cinematography, editing, etc., so your reaction videos have more depth than most. At the same time you keep your videos fun, down to earth and unpretentious. When you recognized William Fichtner and said that he always plays the same kind of character, it made me think you should react to "Black Hawk Down" (2001). He plays a sergeant in Delta Force which is a change of pace. Also it's simply a terrific movie that I thin you'd enjoy seeing.
Was stationed in Germany when this movie was out on VHS, had to have watched it weekly. No Cell phones, no Internet, no cable but we had Ashley Judd giving that off signal from the balcony and that was enough. I did forget how many other great actors were in this movie. The 'heat around the corner' line is one of my favorites in any movie. Thanks for the reactions Mell.
You are a great movie reviewer. I have watched several different RUclips reaction guys/ladies, You are top tier. Funny, dont over talk and stay positive about the movies you react to. I subscribed.
You gotta do more Heist Movie Reactions bro : Point Break (1991) not the shit remake, The Town, Ocean's Eleven and The French Connection are some of the good ones.
I second the French Connection for the car/train chase alone. They had no permits while filming that scene so most of the crashes and damage to cars is all real and they had to pay for it.
Wish i could see this movie as the first time again. It is a masterpiece. The scene at the diner with the two titans, the photography and the script. Greatest scenes ever.
Only halfway through your view. Saw this in the theater and loved it as one one of the best heist movies. It was really long but appreciated it for the performances they were giving me. Loved this movie and can’t wait for the shootout
I love the sound editing for this movie. Fun Fact: The gunfire you hear during the bank robbery is actual gunfire. When Michael Mann was editing the movie, he used stock sounds for the guns, which sounded terrible. Mann changed his mind and kept the original sound and it came out pretty well.
one of my all time top 5 favorite movies. Ive kinda studied it for years now. I was glad you appreciated the bank/street shootout and more so the music. A lot of people that are seeing this for the first time these days. don't appreciate that enough in my opinion. one piece of music trivia. The music when pacino is on the highway at night behind deniro. that is Moby covering an old Joy Division track.
Val Kilmers reload - brought to you by the SAS - I'm still in love with this movie, every bit as much I was when i first saw in the cinema back in 95. Michael Mann is an excellent director, checkout Manhunter, it's VERY 80 but it's superb!
This is just one little detail in a movie that's full of them, but I always appreciated that Heat shows how actually heavy money is and how hard trying to run with a couple of million dollars in a gym bag would be.
Heat is one of the greatest crime movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, action sequences, direction, screenplay, and cinematography was outstanding and incredible. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Lieutenant Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley as they both put tons of emotion and depth into their roles. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old. 😍👍💯😎

"the diner scene was unrehearsed" wtf are you on about? it was a line by line recreation of the same scene from 1989's "L.A. Takedown", also by Mann.
The “great ass” line, along with the “Phoenix” scene, were improvised by Pacino. DeNiro improvised the “clean up and go home” line
It’s confirmed that Pacino improv’d the “GREAT ASS!” line 😄
Not surprised. He looked like he was having a good time with that scene.
Which made Azaria's reaction genuine and the scene that much better.
I’m afraid, it got me a smack round the face!
His character was supposed to be on cocaine. There was a scene of him using that was cut out.
This was actually Danny Trejos first movie. He just got out of prison and was an advisor for some stuff and the director loved him so much he gave him a part
wdym he was in blood in blood out?
He was also in Lock up from 1989. I've no idea where he got his info.
I think his first movie was Runaway Train 1985
Whenever I think of him I think of the two spy kids films. I don't remember if he was in the third one.

One of, if not the best gun battles in movie history. I love how they use the actual sound of the rifles instead of dubbing over it in post. And the tactics used by the actors are fantastic. Den of Thieves is another excellent movie that pay homage to this one and definitely worth watching
"This has to be one of the greatest movies I've ever seen". Took the words right out of my mouth.
With the Michael Mann love Mr. Mello is showing, he needs to get busy watching "Thief" & "Manhunter."
Manhunter is great. Thief is on my radar since I've heard great things.
Thief is arguably Mann's greatest artistic achievement, but this is such a close second for me.
Manhunter and Collateral are awesome Michael Mann movies
Thief and Collaertal r a great trilogy to Heat, all masterpieces
Don't forget Collateral, another great Mann film!
Another movie by the same director is Collateral, which is also freaking amazing. Similar vibe, stars an "unusual" Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. If you haven't already seen it, check it out.
there’s a mission in the GTA five campaign where it was based off this movie in the opening where a truck crashed into other truck
GTA 4 came closer
Blitz playing GTA V
Do yourself a favor and find the blu-ray or a DVD with Mann's audio commentary.
Mann is an accuracy nerd, everything is exhaustively researched, and a thing he likes to do is cast the absolute, top-of-the-heap A-list actors alongside non-actors playing themselves. A lot of the cops in this movie weren't actors, they're real cops, many of them had lines.
Both lead characters were based on real people and the cafe scene is something that really happened between them. (Another true anecdote that made it into the movie was Pacino's character taking his TV in a fit of rage and later dumping it on the street)
His brother is a Navy SEAL and consults on the shootouts
His inspiration to make this movie happened when he shot a prison drama on location at a prison. He learned about prison culture and how a lot of organized crime starts with connections and networks made in prison. That's how they have that system set up where somebody's "job" is just casing targets and planning heists, and then selling the plan to Ed Noonan, who then sells the plan to Di Niro's crew who actually does the heist.
HEAT is truly epic a masterpiece on all levels 💥
Yep... Only Men on Fire is close in my book but of course different story in movie, both masterpieces for me 🤗👍
Thanks for sharing Mello. Really appreciate your hard work, drive, talent, and bringing us your thoughts, feelings, and personality.
@20:46: This moment when Val goes straight from smiling and swaggering to full-auto gunfire fulfills Pacino's comment early on that "...these guys are rock n roll at the drop of a hat..."
Utterly ruthless.
You know the badass black cop with the moustache was Bubba in "Forrest Gump", right?
He was also in 24
I saw this in the cinema on release, and the noise of the street shootout scene elicited gasps from the packed audience. It was like you were on the street amongst the firing. Great memory.
That "CAUSE SHE GOT A GREAT ASS" was pure Pacino which is why Hank Azaria had that stunned look on his face. Also Dennis Haysbert may be the "Allstate guy" to you but to me and a lot of other people he is Pedro Cerrano
and he worships Jobu
"I had coffee with McCauley half an hour ago!
"
Pacino is so quotable in this movie, it's ridiculous.
Literally every line he utters is endlessly repeatable. Especially the ones at high volume, amirite?
@@TheSchaef47 "'Cause she got a ... GREAT ASS!"
I’ve watched your reactions before and liked them but the Sega nod in the beginning just solidified it for me. Love your energy. Keep doing u bro.
Thank You So Much Bro, Lmao I Kinda Grew Up With The Sega Genesis
@@HelloMellowXVI
Gotta ask. Top three Sega games?
"they should have made a video game from this movie..."
They tried, it got cancelled
I always thought the first Kane and Lynch game took very direct inspiration from this movie for some of the set pieces.
They recreate the first robbery scene in GTA v
@@bio-hazard221 Which was heavily inspired by the real life North Hollywood Shootout which happened 2 years after HEAT was released.
Payday and Payday 2: "Are we a joke to you?!"
The Allstate guy? That's President Palmer from 24.
...
Yes, the Allstate guy.
It’s Pedro Cerrano
@@LukeIsyourfasha good call. That's another movie reaction that would be fun to see from Mel.
Wish he was on that show longer
I enjoyed your reaction. Always got me crackin up with you, dude. I remember when this was coming out. It was a big deal because this was two titans at the top of their game, sharing the screen for the first time. The teaser and first trailer for this were hyping everyone up back in 95. For some reason it was completely overlooked during award season. Why, I have no idea. Great performances. So many great scenes. The score. The directing. If you liked this, you should watch Goodfellas, Carlito's Way, Casino, Donnie Brasco, Raging Bull, The Godfather I and II.
I first saw this film on the big screen when it first came out December 1995. Although I was familiar with Michael Mann's work to that point, it can say this is easily one of my favorite films of all time. His attention to every detail of the production completely absorbs me into the world. Just like another favorite filmmaker of mine David Fincher.
This is one of those perfect films
Except for almost every scene Al Pacino's in.
@Randy White By overacting?
This is one of those once in a lifetime type films. The ending, and that Moby song playing still gives me chills.
Even if you (somehow) don't really like the whole movie, you have to appreciate the skill/talent put into the diner scene and the shootout. Classics.
The videogame background was actually shot in camera. Mann's commentary on this is amazing. Also, this is his second attempt making Heat. Look up LA Takedown. It's the same movie but made for TV.
my all time favorite movie. Always have to represent in comments when I see a reaction to Heat. Great Movie in every way possible. Cast, Acting, Drama, Plot, Writing, Character Development, Interpersonal Conflict, Dialogue, Action, Suspense, Twists, Believe Ability etc. Anything you can think of that makes a good movie this movie does good. A true Masterpiece.
"They're definitely in good hands."
YES!!!
Crazy as it is, that was the first time DeNiro and Pacino shared a scene together. When the movie came out, noone believed it was true, thought their egos were too big to be in the same scene together. It was thought they filmed it separately with stand ins.
this shit is so dope. been lovin all over this film for 26 years holy shit. we were just kids and it was the first movie played when setting up your SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM(or Matrix).f'n Michael Mann man. killed it.
"This stuff is just beamed out all over the place. Ya just gotta know how to grab it. See I know how to grab it." thanks for this MellVerse.🤘
What’s great about watching you react to a great movie for the first time is that it’s like turning a good friend on to a great movie. That feeling you get when you watch them go “oh damn!” 😀
The song at the end was Moby - God moving over the face of the waters.
Moby has his moments of being a nutter, but that piece is a work of art.
Amazing piece of music to a brilliant end to the greatest film I've ever seen.
Michael Mann is one of the inspirations behind Christopher Nolans style, it yields great results if you can get close to it and make it your own.
This film is sooooo slept on. One of my top 5 of all time! Don't know why more folks don't react to this
@Randy White I havnt seen anyone on yt react to this film except a few people
Heat is probably Michael Mann’s best film, and it’s funny how many people remember or think its as a Scorsese or Coppola film. DeNiro and Pacino are lifelong friends, and both connected to Scorsese and Coppola. it’s funny how this was only their second film together since GF2. So a lot of people kinda of lump them all in together, and because this was such a good crime/drama a lot of people forget this was by Michael Mann, who has an impressive resume, but it doesn’t come close to Scorsese or Coppola who are the masters in crime drama. Heat is probably In Pacino’s top 5 films, and in DeNiro’s top 10 films, in terms of performance. And it you weren’t aware, this movie is connected to the real life North Hollywood Shoot out about two years after its release, which was crazy. I actually watched it live on the news, and it was an insane story in itself. I remember it being a major topic around gun control, and also a reason why Police today have more accessibility to long gun/high powered/larger magazine rifles. weapons which even in LA were usually reserved for SWAT at the time. I won’t argue the merits or faults of that subject, but I will say that I do remember seeing watching it unfold. I feel Heat kinda got an unfair rap for a while because of this event. But thankfully it passed in time, unfortunately it was probably because some other tragedy connected to some other influence that people could direct their anger towards. I guess we will always be looking for reasons to justify out outrage. It’s a timeless yet futile endeavor. Great reaction.
Regarding the improv, actually the main actors were allowed great freedoms in this movie. In many scenes instead of a written dialogue script they were told what the situation was and allowed to just bring it home. You can tell especially with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Val Kilmer's scenes. It brings this movie to life, and is part in what makes it so great!
GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE MUSIC IN THE LAST SCENE COMES IN
The shootout in this movie was based on a true event that happened in North Hollywood. It also took 2 weeks to film as Director Michael Mann feared it was gonna rain.
Actually HEAT was released in 1995, North Hollywood was 1997. When the film came out the bank heist was criticized as being completely unrealistic as an event that could never happen in the real world.
Tombstone. Mello,. Tombstone. Another great reaction..
Soon, Bobby, Soon Lml
I'll be your huckleberry
Definitely one of the best movies ever made, period, I first saw this opening night in the theaters, great memories :D
That first guy who died in the shootout is Ted Levine, who famously played Buffalo Bill back in the day.
Best DeNiro impression in years!!!
Awesome once again! You're reactions, editing and commentary are very entertaining! Val Kilmer and that awful ponytail kill it! The shootout scene is one of my favorite! 🤘 ♥️ 😁 I remember part of the hype about this movie was Di Niro and Pacino's first actual scene together. So intense! You really have to watch True Romance! Talk about an all star cast! Keep up the great work! ✌️
Thank You So Much For The Support, This Is A Movie I Will Watch So Many Times And Analyze
This is most certainly one of my absolute favorites, Robert de Niro Al Pacino Val kilmer and all them, Steller performances.
Drama and action and the flow of the story is wonderful
Kevin Gage had some legal issues a few years after this movie came out. While he was in prison, the other prisoners *and* the guards all called him Waingro.
Great movie. Every once in awhile, for my taste at least, Pacino takes it a little too over the top, but he certainly never ruins the film, and he's amazing in most of it.
In 1981, Mann directed a movie called Thief with James Caan. Well worth seeing to see where Heat was born.
Heat was born from Michael Mann's tv-movie L.A. Takedown which Heat is basically a remake of. Much of the dialogue, including the entire coffee shop scene, is the same. Because Heat is a superior film and Mann is probably a little embarassed by his very early effort L.A. Takedown is very hard to get a copy of but you can find some clips of it on RUclips.
23:23 This movie also inspired a real life heist in North Hollywood. Two robbers saw this movie and decided to rob a bank. Look it up. 👍🏼
No they had been robbing banks forever before that they were called the high incident bandits but this movie might have inspired them to actually try to shoot their way out.
Now this film... Is just easily one of the films I can actually call a Flawless Masterpiece! By the way, I haven't recommend a film in quite some time since Tropic Thunder I think, would like to suggest a similar film which is called : Point Break 1991 with Keanu Reeves and Late PATRICK Swayze! I hope you do a reaction to it! It's an absolute Classic!
I’m Definitely Going To A Reaction To Point Break Man. This Film Is Definitely A Masterpiece My Highest Rated Movie On The Channel So Far
I second that Point Break recommendation, it's a fucking classic.
Flawless?!.. LMAO..
Ok, where were the helicopters that were buzzing around all movie?.. Nowhere to be found when the heist happens?!..
We’re they being refueled?.. lol..
@@jacobjones5269 That's just nitpicking.
I'd hazard a guess that perhaps law enforcement didn't want helicopters flying around to alert the crew of bank robbers of anything until the cops were all in position.
Plus I don't think he meant flawless as in the law enforcement were flawless in everything they did, lol.
@@kevincola3184
Hey, brother... I’m not out there looking for plot holes to expose... However, when you spend 2.5 hours showing us there’s helicopters everywhere, then yeah... I’m gonna wonder where they are during the heist..
It’s just laziness by Mann, because he wanted to let these guys get away.. Well, real cops aren’t like that.. In fact, real cops will put a dozen helicopters overhead if they believe it will prevent a crime.. A large crime..
The movie really is just a terrible movie.. It’s too long, it’s auteur, or at least tries to be, when it’s unnecessary.. The women are ridiculous, every single one of them.. It’s a fucking mess, IMO..
Michael Mann is one of my favorite filmmakers, its worth going down his filmography for sure, this one is pretty great but all of his films r special in their own way. This was based on actual events, the snitch Waingro character was a real person who switched on some people, his body was found in northwestern New Mexico tortured to death and nailed to shed
Everytime you watch a Michael Mann movie, pay attention to the audio. Guys a mastermind. Uses real gunfire sounds (not real bullets of course).
My favorite movie of all time. Filled entirely on location in Los Angeles. No sound stage used. The shoot out was shown during Marine Corp Basic Training due to the realism and the proper covering fire and move tactics. There is a theory based on the lines of the movie that Deniro and Pachino characters were brothers.
I really enjoy your movie reactions. You actually recognize and acknowledge the quality of the writing, acting, cinematography, editing, etc., so your reaction videos have more depth than most. At the same time you keep your videos fun, down to earth and unpretentious.
When you recognized William Fichtner and said that he always plays the same kind of character, it made me think you should react to "Black Hawk Down" (2001). He plays a sergeant in Delta Force which is a change of pace. Also it's simply a terrific movie that I thin you'd enjoy seeing.
Thank You So Much For This Comment Man, Really Made My Day And I Will Most Definitely React To It
I think this film is in most people's top 5 movies of all time. Welcome to the club.
Was stationed in Germany when this movie was out on VHS, had to have watched it weekly. No Cell phones, no Internet, no cable but we had Ashley Judd giving that off signal from the balcony and that was enough. I did forget how many other great actors were in this movie. The 'heat around the corner' line is one of my favorites in any movie. Thanks for the reactions Mell.
I so LOVE your appreciation of every detail 🤗 Makes you stand out in the best possible way 👑👍🏾✨🎊
"Empathy was yesterday, but today you are just wasting my m****rf***ing time!". A great line to remember for any of my future conversations.
I’m 40 now I saw heat when I was 16 I think. Really enjoy your reactions Matt from Oz 🇦🇺
You are a great movie reviewer. I have watched several different RUclips reaction guys/ladies, You are top tier. Funny, dont over talk and stay positive about the movies you react to. I subscribed.
Fun fact: Nolan said the bank heist from Heat inspired his bank scene in The Dark Knight.
Just wanted to say, discovered your channel recently and you are one of the best reactors out there man. Keep it up!
Thank You So Much, I Appreciate Your Comment
26:25 That long build-up to the laugh... That sound... 😂
You gotta do more Heist Movie Reactions bro : Point Break (1991) not the shit remake, The Town, Ocean's Eleven and The French Connection are some of the good ones.
yes for the original point break!!!! such a dope movie. remake is pure garbage.
The French Connection. Yes!
Original Point Break is fantastic. The remake is a lesson in how to make exciting activities boring to watch.
I second the French Connection for the car/train chase alone. They had no permits while filming that scene so most of the crashes and damage to cars is all real and they had to pay for it.
Yes point break! Add dead presidents to that list
Wish i could see this movie as the first time again. It is a masterpiece. The scene at the diner with the two titans, the photography and the script. Greatest scenes ever.
This is the greatest film I've ever seen. Still. And yes. I've seen hundreds and hundreds.
My man wasn't always the Allstate Man. He's a phenomenal actor!
Only halfway through your view. Saw this in the theater and loved it as one one of the best heist movies. It was really long but appreciated it for the performances they were giving me. Loved this movie and can’t wait for the shootout
That final shot is iconic.
So basically.... "oh he in this movie too?"😂
Nice reaction, mate 😃👍
Knew you’d love it! Every performance - big, small… like Ashley Judd the whole movie by on the balcony, I mean, knocked me out.
I love the sound editing for this movie. Fun Fact: The gunfire you hear during the bank robbery is actual gunfire. When Michael Mann was editing the movie, he used stock sounds for the guns, which sounded terrible. Mann changed his mind and kept the original sound and it came out pretty well.
one of my all time top 5 favorite movies. Ive kinda studied it for years now. I was glad you appreciated the bank/street shootout and more so the music. A lot of people that are seeing this for the first time these days. don't appreciate that enough in my opinion. one piece of music trivia. The music when pacino is on the highway at night behind deniro. that is Moby covering an old Joy Division track.
That Restaurant Scene Between De Niro & Pacino… Is A Cinematic Masterpiece!!!!!
Yo! Mellverse'editing is great!
Thank You So Much, Edited It Myself
Val Kilmers reload - brought to you by the SAS - I'm still in love with this movie, every bit as much I was when i first saw in the cinema back in 95. Michael Mann is an excellent director, checkout Manhunter, it's VERY 80 but it's superb!
Great vid mate👍 glad you finally got to witness this classic movie.
De Niro Impression was spot on lol
This is just one little detail in a movie that's full of them, but I always appreciated that Heat shows how actually heavy money is and how hard trying to run with a couple of million dollars in a gym bag would be.
Heat is one of the greatest crime movies of all time. The story, performance's, music, action sequences, direction, screenplay, and cinematography was outstanding and incredible. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Lieutenant Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley as they both put tons of emotion and depth into their roles. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old. 😍👍💯😎
The entire bit about the 'All-State guy' was 😆😆😆😆
GTA V was very heavily inspired by this movie. Even Michael Is based off of Robert De Niro’s character.
