One intense action sequence from Michael Mann's classic neo-noir Heat is so realistic that it's been shown to Marine recruits in weapons training.
One of the intense action scenes in Michael Mann’s neo-noir epic Heat is so realistic it’s been used by the United States Marines in weapons training. Heat is a taut cat-and-mouse thriller starring Al Pacino as Vincent Hanna, an obsessive LAPD lieutenant, and Robert De Niro as Neil McCauley, the notorious bank robber he’s desperate to catch.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Michael Mann's Heat has been lauded as one of the greatest and most influential movies in the action genre, with some of the most iconic set-pieces ever put on film. Its influence can be seen in everything from The Dark Knight to the video game Grand Theft Auto V. Hanna and McCauley are two of Mann’s most memorable characters, and his masterful direction puts the audience in their shoes during Heat’s thrilling action scenes.
The Training Behind Heat's Firefight The same behind-the-scenes featurette goes into great detail about how the shootout sequence in Heat was pulled off and the intensive training that went into it. Mann says, “I wanted everybody really well-trained so that they felt that they could actually do what the characters in this film do.” Ex-Special Air Service sergeant Andy McNab and ex-Special Forces instructor Mick Gould developed a three-month plan for the actors.
Mann jokes, “Some of the actors [in Heat’s surprisingly star-studded cast] thought they knew how to handle weapons [before the training] and they were disabused of that notion.” Pacino says he’d “never experienced anything like this.” The cast’s extensive training included a whole day of safety training before anyone was allowed to fire a single round. They then spent three months training with McNab and Gould.
When it came to the actual shoot, and the actors were well-versed in proper firearm use, they went through 800 to 1,000 rounds per take. Heat's sound mixers used the on-set gunfire sounds instead of replacing the gunshots with Hollywood sound effects. According to Mann, “Nothing artificial could come close to delivering the fear of the sound that the full load made moving through those automatic weapons and the way the sound ricocheted off the walls.
