Back in 94, I used to work in downtown LA and I had to go into work at Seventh and flower one Saturday morning. I was driving home on Figueroa and I saw all the commotion with the film crews and Tom Sizemore standing in his grey suit holding a shotgun. You never see the shotgun because they did it for screen testing or something. I even remember seeing all the (prop) cop cars that were blocking the 110 fwy entrance and they still let traffic pass on Fig. So I pulled over along with about 200 other tourists (mostly Japanese) and got to pick up some of the spent brass after they shot their scenes. Back than I didn't care much for guns, let alone afford an AR-15, I was like 19 years old. Brings back some memories.

Jesus C that was bad-***!. I remember being in the theater watching it (with wood) and just wishing a war movie could be that good.......then blackhawk down came out!. I just hate seeing good guys getting shot up!, too many cop pals.

[Evil Gun]

One of my all time favs. Have it on DVD. Hell, I might watch it tonight. Thanks.

[phish]

It is definately one of the all-time gun battle scenes on film. I remember the numerous debates on the forums on what rifle Pacino used for that scene.

Interesting timing since the movie came out in '94 concerning the defunct federal ban. It must've given more traction for SB23 years later. :(

Since it was a bank robbery ring, wouldn't the FBI get it instead of the LAPD?

[VeryCoolCat]

Well first off, I can't see the FBI getting there in time. So thats why theres LAPD. Second, those guys were horrible shots.

[kantstudien]

Supposedly, HEAT did horribly poor at the theaters, but is doing extremely well on DVD. The new DVD with bonus features is awesome! :D

[chris]

just watched this movie the other night. it has to one of the greatest gun battle scenes i have seen.

If you have the widescreen edition, look for the scene where Robert DeNiro climbs onto the bank countertop and starts talking to the crowd.

If you look in the bottom left corner of the screen, you'll see my head for a fraction of a second!

They filmed that at my mother's bank, and needed extras, so I got to be in that just for a moment (I was the only one tall enough to still be visible in that shot).
It took 2 days and something like 30 hours to just film the bank scene inside with him walking down the counter top. Extra work is about as exciting as digging holes with a shovel.

[Cobrarlc]

If you have the movie just use your player to capture image and save into jpg.

[JPglee1]

Nope, don't got the movie... good idea tho.

Heh which reminds me I was "slick" for Halloween last year. Pretty easy costume except for the $800 body armor and $350 Jacques Plant mask that I had to order from this hockey mask company in Canada. I thought I could get it at big 5, haha. I replicated every single detail (jump suit from LB uniform) except for the airsoft FAL. (Used a M-16 Shorty airsoft) with real hi-cap mags on my LBE vest. WeHo Sheriffs didn't seem to mind. Sad thing is only like 5 people recognized what it was from. If I can find pics of myself I'll get em posted.

Next year you can borrow my FAL, we'll just paint the muzzle tip orange :D


LOL


JP


P.s. Im surprised no one tried to kill you or arrest you...especially in WeHo..They were prolly all too stoned to care.

Well see theres the thing, I knew there was a slight risk of me being harrassed by the LAPD if I went to say Hollywood Blvd. So instead I went to a area notorious for letting people do what they want, WeHo. Most people there are gays and they didn't care much about people in military or sci-fi costumes w/ weapons. Which is good of course. The funny thing is all the gays were like...oooh scary. :D Bottom line is if your going to try a costume that is going to include weapons in Los Angeles (especially realistic airsoft), WeHo is your best bet for having fun without fear of prosecution from displaying airsoft guns (I painted the orange tip black) :D in public.

[Turbinator]

I really wish I had an M4 :(

Sure, but I don't think they were using M4's in the film.

They were really short....I don't think 16" right? Probably like 10" or 11"

I am going to guess that they were Colt Commando's, or XM177's. Here is what I think I saw:

I didnt like the shootout too much because the cops are kinda like a bunch of mindless henchmen to get mowed down.

[daskraut]

just morph the cops into corrupt ATF agents trying to take ALL of our guns after hillary clinton gets elected and the pain of seeing good guys get shot will vanish like magic!.Scary thought eh?, kinda gives you that ice water enema /cybil feeling ....:D
