I am shocked how many people do not know about HEAT when I mention it. It was Michael Mann's masterpiece to date. Just unbelievable from tip to tail.
This scene is IMHO the best shootout ever filmed. No gangsta sideways shooting, no over done ricochet effects. Mann has always had his actors trained by professional shooters to make his scenes look more believable. Collateral with Tom Cruise is an excellent example of this as well.
And the ending is actually really moving if you watch it for what it is, it actually chokes me up a bit every time. Just unreal performances by both men, and it is the only scene, where they share the screen at same time, as Mann wanted it that way.

Its a great song but I prefer it in 'Friday Night Lights' which I am surprised no has posted yet, the Boobie speech at half time is classic, followed by the start of the Second Half to the Stooges.
...and it is the only scene, where they share the screen at same time, as Mann wanted it that way.
didnt they share the scene in the diner?
anyway...

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

If you can believe it, I have a co-worker who had never seen HEAT, so I let him borrow my DVD. He still hasn't returned it after probably two months, because he has only watched half of it so far. I refuse to take it back from him until he watches it. My favourite movie.
