“One of the best gunfight with rifles movies was Heat with DeNiro (lib), Pacino and Val Kilmer (dope smoking fat lib).”
I agree, they had some good technical advice on that movie. Everything about that shoot out is realistic even down to the combat techniques used. Good stuff
It was pretty incredible. When I saw Pacino’s FAL - I said “I want one.”
Michael Mann is notoriously obsessive about every detail. He's also notorious for driving his crews crazy. An editor once told me that a curse in Hollywood is "May you work for Michael Mann."
