Me when I'm on a date and she asks what my favorite movie is. "And then they tried dubbing the gunshots, but it didn't sound nearly as good when they were filming it with blanks so th- wait where are you going?"
In the big shootout they cut the music. It makes a difference that almost goes unnoticed because the visuals are so gripping. I think it puts you in the experience, though. I’ve been in a situation like that, and there’s a real sense of desperation and aloneness. Your senses get very focused. I think music, in the film, would take you back out of that feeling. Also, the best moment in the movie is when Chris is coming out of the bank and about to get in the car. At the last second he sees a cop and doesn’t even say anything to his crew. He instantly transitions from pay-day grin to full-auto offensive. Dope.
The extra literally losing their shit as Chris opens up with his 733. It's funny, but exactly how an ordinary person walking down the street would react to full-auto fire suddenly erupting 30ft from them.
The book- Heat 2 gives more background on Neil, he served with the Marines as well in Vietnam. He meets Chris in prison and becomes his mentor of sorts. It takes place between 1988 and the early 2000s. Well worth a read
You're not wrong about helicopters. When I was in the Persian Gulf, doing some sig int work, on temporary duty, they had to transfer me from one ship to another. The helicopter they brought was too big to land on the deck, so they hoisted me and my seabag up into the bird with a frigging winch cable. I felt like Jack Ryan.
19:20 I was about to comment on that very thing! When he was producing his TV show "Barry", Bill Hader talked about a conversation he had with one of the soundguys who'd worked on HEAT and said that they didn't edit the sound at all in post production because every thing they did made it sound worse. Which is why that scene sounds way different and way better than basically every other firefight in every other movie.
One time, In Carjackastan, we were killing some time in a rec center. I put on HEAT, none of the kids I was deployed with had ever seen in it...because it was too old....I never felt like screaming "GET OFF MY LAWN!" so much in my life
I really hate that attitude that people will not watch films that were made before they were born, especially since most of the classics worth watching were made a long time ago.
I've been pointing out Kilmer's freakish Easter egg to friends and family for nearly 30 years. Imagine my joy when you pointed this out and the eye roll my wife gave me when I replayed this for her.
One thing that helps bring the world of Heat to life is that a lot of the minor characters are given their own scene to show what kind of people they are. For a movie with a 3 hour run time I didn't think there was any scene that could have been cut without losing something.
For the question of how they got the bullet holes in the cars during the heist shootout. Apparently from what I remember from the Mann commentary on the Heat dvd, they shot the cars then them painted over with bondo. During the filming scenes, they used squibs to reveal the bullet holes.
I saw the entire film in The Basic School because our instructors wanted to show us the firefight, and an O5 that was sitting in mentioned he'd never seen it. So they said fuck it, and just rewound the movie all the way back
McCauley died because he abandoned his own code: he had something in his life he was not willing to walk away from in 30 seconds flat. And it wasn't Eady, he already convinced her to accompany him. He was attached to his vengeance; diverting from his out to finish Waingro is what killed him. Shiherlis on the other had was able to walk away from Charlene and Chris at the drop of a hat. He survived to fight another day, and he's currently working as a diesel mechanic in Terlingua

watched it the day this came out with my father for the first time because of your previous mentions of it, thanks admin for another unforgettable memory
When this movie came out I was driving armored trucks after 4 yrs in the Corps, they gave a perfect scenario for robbing an armored truck!!! We were all afraid of copy cats, then it happened in FL two drivers were killed…. No bank ever has 12 mil in cash in hand, and the weight of cash is horrible!!! We used hand carts cause the only prudent way to carry that much weight. The became an LEO, most depts did not have long guns besides shotguns, then North Hollywood happened and everything changed for Law Enforcement. Great freaking movie and even more relevant now a days, ARs, AKs, etc are regularly used by criminals in this day and age.
Family friend of mine was a member of Cali SWAT in the 90’s. His first day on call was the North Hollywood shootout. If you don’t believe me well, I guess it would be a cool lie.
From one block away where the infamous bank heist scene in Heat (1995) was shot-I commend your LARP and analysis, Admin! Here’s to the Crisis of Mann for us all to enjoy! Be well
The chances of Admin seeing this are low but never zero. I used to work in an office in Downtown LA. One day I was talking to a lawyer who worked there before me, and he was saying, in the mid-nineties he had an important client fly in from back east. They had a big meet around noon and the lawyer is waiting, waiting; the client no-shows. He calls the client who’s staying a few blocks away and asks what’s up. The client says under no circumstances is he leaving his hotel room, there’s gang-activity outside. The lawyer asks what he means “gang-activity”. Client says he hears automatic weapons firing outside his hotel and he’d be crazy to go out there-you guessed it, that day they were filming the big shoot-out scene for Heat.
I’m 60 and have been in law enforcement since I was 23. Sixteen years spent on patrol and the remainder as a detective. Patrol was much more fun. Much-more-fun.
Wild realization I had is playing video games my whole life, any time I would be caught in an ambush that I didn't see an immediate exit for, I would stop what i was doing and unload.
Shiherlis eventually got to prison where he taught Frost how to survive. Heat is one of my all time favorite movies. Probably the best gunfight and that ending is something you just can't forget, perfect combo of cast, scene and music.
Michael Mann is my numero uno director of all time. When I was in film school in '06, I cited Heat as my favorite film during a class introduction. The professor was a bit miffed, offered a passing criticism of the movie, and asked if anyone else had seen it. Class of 50 film students and none raised their hand. Two years later, The Dark Knight comes out and Nolan credits Heat as a big inspiration. Suddenly everyone I knew was talking about it, but most still didn't seem to "get" it. It's officially become a cult classic by now, I'd say, but it really wasn't as big of a hit in the 90's as today would make it seem. As a cinephile and firearm retrosexual, I can't get enough of this movie. Mann's prequel/sequel novel was a very good read as well. Also, it's Chuck Adamson, not Chuck Adams.
I watched Heat, for the first time, a few months ago. I was speechless on how well made of a movie it is. It became one of my favorite movies along with Blood Diamond, Tears of the Sun, and We Were Soldiers. I remember, vaguely, of the Hollywood Shootout. I was about seven at the time it happened. I do remember my dad saying it was like watching Heat. Two years prior, we lived in LA before we moved to Vegas.
Michael Mann is probably my favorite directors. He really doesn't get enough credit for his work. He was on the forefront of introducing modern firearms techniques from Jeff Cooper and Gunsite. Check out his first movie with James Caan, Thief.
My favorite quote from a great movie. "Im with you Neil, No Michael your choice you have the money, the action is the juice" paraphrasing. Waingrow was awesome also, "Slick"
Last of the Mohicans, HEAT and Collateral are truly some the greatest films ever. It really is a shame Mann never has been able to be live up to these films.
As similar as the characters of Hannah and McCauley are, there’s one huge and very important difference between them: McCauley is purely selfish and does what he does for selfish reasons. Hannah is the way he is because he cares more about others than himself. They end up being so similar by being complete opposites.
Awesome review Admin!🔥 Heat is one of my top 5 movies and still remember seeing it at the movie theater when that was a "thing". This was before everyone had surround sound in their home so the sound of the shootout in downtown LA was damn near breathtaking due to the realism of the scene. Great job!💯
I’ll never forget watching this with my brother over and over again and it really shaped young men on how to act, that city scene was nuts the sound quality was amazing
Very much so, and if you actually lift 90lbs on a strap isn't that much of an issue either Annoying yes but it isn't going to kill your ability to move either
Im a cash logistics agent, and anything over 500,000 a dolly is recommended to keep a gun hand free. No duffel bags allowed just a heavy grocery like bag
transporters get paid like shit too, granted not a lot of people try to knock bank trucks but it's both thankless and you're never 100% guaranteed you won't get shot at on any given day
Just jumping into a helicopter while working as a beat cop, let alone with some SRT, is actually insane. Glad you touched on that it was a pretty cool part of the movie - super Vice like.
Also note that the gateway driver actor is Dennis Haysbert who went on to play Snake Doc about a decade later on the underrated CBS show The Unit. If you've never seen that show I recommend it Admin it's pretty good.
I love the opening of heat where they ram the bank truck with a heavy wrecker. I rank this movie up on my top 5 action films. Seeing the FAL and HK91 both in use was awesome plus I have to give the speed load of the CAR 15 was great! Story was good as well
Michael Mann was not "given" Heat, it is an original script written by him, he first dreamed it up in the 70s. It was originally filmed as a TV pilot, LA Takedown.
Every once in a while, you go back to a movie(this one being my favorite) to see what else is new. What a nice surprise to see this just days before I started looking into this movie again. What a masterpiece of film.
Heat was and will forever be, the greatest bank heist movie of all time. I will die on this hill. Next in my opinion, in absolutely no order, cause to be honest it’s hard to: -Den of thieves -The Town -Swordfish
Bro…as an 87 myself… I feel genuinely sandbagged in my self image after hearing that…13yrs active duty…5 kids..other cool career I can’t say or talk about…but this dude went for it… and now I feel less. Or….inspired maybe?????
He's got no wrinkles though. Makes sense now that we think about it. He just has a superior moustache to the average 28 year old. Italian genes. He'll probably get his first wrinkle at 50.
Kids come in two flavors these days, will look 15-20 years younger than they are until they're in their mid 60's And Looks like they existed well before the aughts
Michael Mann was already well established before Heat. Most notably, he was the executive producer & one of the creative forces behind Miami Vice. He also made Manhunter, which was the precursor of Silence of the Lambs. With other noteworthy credits to his name & career. A personal favorite is Band of the Hand.
That's why I love your channel. The way of your narration is absolutely stunning and keeping you inside the story. Thanks man. Soulfull ending of the video.

Speaking of Detectives and Vietnam Veterans Wes Study one of the actors in HEAT who was playingba detective was a Vietnam Veteran in real life. He was also in the cast of the prior Michael Mann movie The Last of the Mohicans
I played next to Anthony Munoz and he was the best ever. Before each game he would eat a big plate of refried beans and then shit on himself. His steaming logs would keep the defenders away and made him slippery.
You certainly nailed it with that last part about leading a safe life versus a life of adventure. I salute all the dudes who can be honest with themselves and admit that the 9 to 5 will never be enough.
Back in 2008 I was living in San Bernardino but still worked in LA and one day when it was hazy because of wild fires I was wondering why the traffic was extra heavy that time of day. When I got to my buddy's place he told me there was a morning bank robbery where the perps left a box and told everyone not to leave because it was a bomb. They timed it well and made a fast escape and while the cops and SWAT and the bomb squad were on their way to deal with that the perps robbed five more banks and when the bomb squad inspected the box they found it was a decoy with no actual explosives in it. No one was hurt and the perps got away with millions. I don't know if they were ever caught.
Minute 18:58: Yup, Marine Corps. School of Infantry, Infantry Training Battlaion 2003, we watched this when learning fire and movement / fire and maneuver.
I once had a dream that I was swimming in an ocean of carbonated orange juice. Thankfully, it was just a fanta sea. I recently quit my job at the orange juice factory. I just couldn’t concentrate.

watched it the day this came out with my father for the first time because of your previous mentions of it, thanks admin for another unforgettable memory
When this movie came out I was driving armored trucks after 4 yrs in the Corps, they gave a perfect scenario for robbing an armored truck!!! We were all afraid of copy cats, then it happened in FL two drivers were killed…. No bank ever has 12 mil in cash in hand, and the weight of cash is horrible!!! We used hand carts cause the only prudent way to carry that much weight. The became an LEO, most depts did not have long guns besides shotguns, then North Hollywood happened and everything changed for Law Enforcement. Great freaking movie and even more relevant now a days, ARs, AKs, etc are regularly used by criminals in this day and age.
Family friend of mine was a member of Cali SWAT in the 90’s. His first day on call was the North Hollywood shootout.
If you don’t believe me well, I guess it would be a cool lie.
From one block away where the infamous bank heist scene in Heat (1995) was shot-I commend your LARP and analysis, Admin! Here’s to the Crisis of Mann for us all to enjoy! Be well
The chances of Admin seeing this are low but never zero. I used to work in an office in Downtown LA. One day I was talking to a lawyer who worked there before me, and he was saying, in the mid-nineties he had an important client fly in from back east. They had a big meet around noon and the lawyer is waiting, waiting; the client no-shows. He calls the client who’s staying a few blocks away and asks what’s up. The client says under no circumstances is he leaving his hotel room, there’s gang-activity outside. The lawyer asks what he means “gang-activity”. Client says he hears automatic weapons firing outside his hotel and he’d be crazy to go out there-you guessed it, that day they were filming the big shoot-out scene for Heat.
I’m 60 and have been in law enforcement since I was 23. Sixteen years spent on patrol and the remainder as a detective. Patrol was much more fun. Much-more-fun.
Least you survived
Agreed
@@victorkreig6089 So far so good. I'm not done yet.
Last of the mohicans is so underrated. The battlefield pickups on the cliff side is one of the best scenes in the history of film
Talk about Last of the Mohicans. This movie deserves our love.
Wild realization I had is playing video games my whole life, any time I would be caught in an ambush that I didn't see an immediate exit for, I would stop what i was doing and unload.
First saw this movie when I turned 30, and oh boy did it awaken a desire for this specific type of film in my life.
But there is only one HEAT.
Shiherlis eventually got to prison where he taught Frost how to survive.
Heat is one of my all time favorite movies. Probably the best gunfight and that ending is something you just can't forget, perfect combo of cast, scene and music.
Michael Mann is my numero uno director of all time. When I was in film school in '06, I cited Heat as my favorite film during a class introduction. The professor was a bit miffed, offered a passing criticism of the movie, and asked if anyone else had seen it. Class of 50 film students and none raised their hand. Two years later, The Dark Knight comes out and Nolan credits Heat as a big inspiration. Suddenly everyone I knew was talking about it, but most still didn't seem to "get" it. It's officially become a cult classic by now, I'd say, but it really wasn't as big of a hit in the 90's as today would make it seem. As a cinephile and firearm retrosexual, I can't get enough of this movie. Mann's prequel/sequel novel was a very good read as well.
Also, it's Chuck Adamson, not Chuck Adams.
I watched Heat, for the first time, a few months ago. I was speechless on how well made of a movie it is. It became one of my favorite movies along with Blood Diamond, Tears of the Sun, and We Were Soldiers. I remember, vaguely, of the Hollywood Shootout. I was about seven at the time it happened. I do remember my dad saying it was like watching Heat. Two years prior, we lived in LA before we moved to Vegas.
Michael Mann is probably my favorite directors. He really doesn't get enough credit for his work. He was on the forefront of introducing modern firearms techniques from Jeff Cooper and Gunsite. Check out his first movie with James Caan, Thief.
My favorite quote from a great movie. "Im with you Neil, No Michael your choice you have the money, the action is the juice" paraphrasing. Waingrow was awesome also, "Slick"
Michael is definitely my favorite character. "For me, the action is the juice. I'm in". Goddammn that line speaks to me 😅
Last of the Mohicans, HEAT and Collateral are truly some the greatest films ever. It really is a shame Mann never has been able to be live up to these films.
As similar as the characters of Hannah and McCauley are, there’s one huge and very important difference between them:
McCauley is purely selfish and does what he does for selfish reasons. Hannah is the way he is because he cares more about others than himself. They end up being so similar by being complete opposites.
Awesome review Admin!🔥 Heat is one of my top 5 movies and still remember seeing it at the movie theater when that was a "thing". This was before everyone had surround sound in their home so the sound of the shootout in downtown LA was damn near breathtaking due to the realism of the scene. Great job!💯
“You get killed walking your doggie!!!” Heat-
I’ll never forget watching this with my brother over and over again and it really shaped young men on how to act, that city scene was nuts the sound quality was amazing
To be fair about the carrying around 90 lbs thing, 90 lbs of paper in a bag would be a hell of a lot easier to carry than 90lb's of kettle bells
Very much so, and if you actually lift 90lbs on a strap isn't that much of an issue either
Annoying yes but it isn't going to kill your ability to move either
In Heat 2, the official sequel/prequel book, Neil was a Tunnel Rat in Vietnam. And it confirms Hanna was a Marine in 'nam.
No it doesn't 🤔
@mrkeogh it literally mentions Hanna was a marine in Vietnam in 1968.
Im a cash logistics agent, and anything over 500,000 a dolly is recommended to keep a gun hand free. No duffel bags allowed just a heavy grocery like bag
transporters get paid like shit too, granted not a lot of people try to knock bank trucks but it's both thankless and you're never 100% guaranteed you won't get shot at on any given day
@@victorkreig6089 I get paid less than the local McDonald's nightshift
Just jumping into a helicopter while working as a beat cop, let alone with some SRT, is actually insane. Glad you touched on that it was a pretty cool part of the movie - super Vice like.
Also note that the gateway driver actor is Dennis Haysbert who went on to play Snake Doc about a decade later on the underrated CBS show The Unit. If you've never seen that show I recommend it Admin it's pretty good.
The Unit was awesome. ❤ Robert Patrick, Max Martini also starred.
@@MongooseTacticool Yeah man I loved that show it was great.
Plus... Audrey Marie Anderson 🥵🥵🥵 y helo thar
I love the opening of heat where they ram the bank truck with a heavy wrecker. I rank this movie up on my top 5 action films. Seeing the FAL and HK91 both in use was awesome plus I have to give the speed load of the CAR 15 was great! Story was good as well
The getaway driver who ended up being President Palmer along with AllState always messed with my brain.
@@wubaru and he was a Navy SEAL...
Dennis Haysbert, good actor :)
Michael Mann was not "given" Heat, it is an original script written by him, he first dreamed it up in the 70s. It was originally filmed as a TV pilot, LA Takedown.
I'm not a guntube guy, I saw HEAT and I clicked, easy as that.
Every once in a while, you go back to a movie(this one being my favorite) to see what else is new. What a nice surprise to see this just days before I started looking into this movie again. What a masterpiece of film.
It always throws me off when detectives have rifles like that. Like in den of thieves, his whole team has ARs, and big nick is rocking a scar in .308
Heat was and will forever be, the greatest bank heist movie of all time. I will die on this hill.
Next in my opinion, in absolutely no order, cause to be honest it’s hard to:
-Den of thieves
-The Town
-Swordfish
You were born in 96? I thought 86 lol
he was the chad that peaked in high school and looked like a grown man already
Bro…as an 87 myself… I feel genuinely sandbagged in my self image after hearing that…13yrs active duty…5 kids..other cool career I can’t say or talk about…but this dude went for it… and now I feel less. Or….inspired maybe?????
He's got no wrinkles though. Makes sense now that we think about it.
He just has a superior moustache to the average 28 year old. Italian genes.
He'll probably get his first wrinkle at 50.
Thanks for sharing this resource
They grunt in the vault scene when the realize how heavy the money is.
Administrative Results, This is perfect! I subscribed right away!
"I was born in '96..."
MF, I was born in '94: how TF do you look older than me?! 🤣
Kids come in two flavors these days, will look 15-20 years younger than they are until they're in their mid 60's
And Looks like they existed well before the aughts
6:45 sorry Admin. Im spending rest of the night wathing The Last Mohican nowe and especially the incredibly emotional ending. Great music piece btw.
HEAT stands for High. Explosive. Anti. Tank.
Michael Mann was already well established before Heat. Most notably, he was the executive producer & one of the creative forces behind Miami Vice. He also made Manhunter, which was the precursor of Silence of the Lambs. With other noteworthy credits to his name & career. A personal favorite is Band of the Hand.
Over time, I started to like Manhunter over Silence
The Town. You must've watched the The Town. Spiritual Heat sequel. The dude even watched Heat in The Town.
Den of Thieves was pretty good too
They also watch Heat in the heist music video KAS:ST - Hell On Earth
That's why I love your channel. The way of your narration is absolutely stunning and keeping you inside the story.
Thanks man. Soulfull ending of the video.
Heist where a issue in Sweden for years, but with the digital age nobody uses cash. Now they scam people online.
Going digital is fucked us all in so many ways it's almost insane
@@victorkreig6089 if you know a scam you can't be tricked. But there are stuff that company can do, like restrictions of using payment to a geography, internet purchases and PSA on scams. Nobody will call you and ask about your credentials.
Speaking of Detectives and Vietnam Veterans Wes Study one of the actors in HEAT who was playingba detective was a Vietnam Veteran in real life. He was also in the cast of the prior Michael Mann movie The Last of the Mohicans
Most of the main characters are using 45 acp Handguns which may have been influenced by the AWB limiting access to 10+ capacity magazines
I love that for one of the funniest, light-hearted guntubers getting around, your movie takes are so straight-faced, down the middle content
Heat mentioned and examined with great detail RRRAAAHHHHH 🦅🔥🚬🎇
Its always pleasant listening to admin talk about movies and stuff
I played next to Anthony Munoz and he was the best ever. Before each game he would eat a big plate of refried beans and then shit on himself. His steaming logs would keep the defenders away and made him slippery.
Can confirm, I was the beans
Yes. Would love to see you cover Collateral. One of my all time favorites.
My favourite movies are detailed in my tattoo sleeve. I've still got a gap. Maybe i can put a heat bit in there 🤔
You certainly nailed it with that last part about leading a safe life versus a life of adventure. I salute all the dudes who can be honest with themselves and admit that the 9 to 5 will never be enough.
Weird, the last video I see on the channel is the deadliest warriors ep, and the only way I got here was via short
It was a little Easter egg for those paying attention
Back in 2008 I was living in San Bernardino but still worked in LA and one day when it was hazy because of wild fires I was wondering why the traffic was extra heavy that time of day. When I got to my buddy's place he told me there was a morning bank robbery where the perps left a box and told everyone not to leave because it was a bomb. They timed it well and made a fast escape and while the cops and SWAT and the bomb squad were on their way to deal with that the perps robbed five more banks and when the bomb squad inspected the box they found it was a decoy with no actual explosives in it. No one was hurt and the perps got away with millions. I don't know if they were ever caught.
Thief is also a real good Michael Mann movie.
Yeah, you can definitely see the Jeff Cooper Gunsite influence in that one.
Minute 18:58: Yup, Marine Corps. School of Infantry, Infantry Training Battlaion 2003, we watched this when learning fire and movement / fire and maneuver.
I once had a dream that I was swimming in an ocean of carbonated orange juice.
Thankfully, it was just a fanta sea.
I recently quit my job at the orange juice factory.
I just couldn’t concentrate.
im more of a filmbro than a gunbro so i appreciate all the little filmmaking things you talk about along with all the gun stuff
Admin is the channel that combines 2 of my favorite things, guns and video essays
The big deal crime in my jurisdiction was a art heist at the Hyde Collection (museum). I was riding with another patrolman and we came across the ditched van that the crooks used. Enter the defectives and we were told (paraphrasing) "On your way now. Go write some V & T's.".
11:21 "that's where im kinda pulling it from". You could have fooled me. I thought you were pulling it out of somewhere else entirely!!!
Whats crazy is that my dad shower me Heat when I was younger. It is my favourite movie. I was thinking that coming into this video and then right off the bat. You are correct sir. I have many posters all over my wall of this film
