MrQwerty posted:the fact that they didn't need to overdub the shootout because shooting blanks off in downtown LA was so loving loud that it made the soundtrack is really something Yeah Michael Mann insisting on using real locations and basically no soundstages is why it sounds so loving awesome. You almost never, ever see that kind of stuff nowadays. That movie inspired actual criminals to do the same exact poo poo in real life and it went even worse for the cops. And there were only two of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Hollywood_shootout haljordan fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Apr 9, 2023 |

Rinkles posted:“The SWAT team also commandeered an armored car to evacuate the wounded. Several officers additionally equipped themselves with AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles from a nearby firearms dealer.” I loled The footage from that shootout is WILD. At one point, one of the gunman is just walking next to a car being driven by the other guy at basically idle speed just fuckin unloading bullets on the cops.

MrQwerty posted:yeah the north hollywood shootout was loving wild and part of why we're in this loving mess today Yeah right at the beginning of the clip I linked Michael Mann is talking about how cops aren't used to being overwhelmed by force and by people who know what they're doing and when it happens they fall apart and that poo poo is 1,000% correct lol

Mulaney Power Move posted:yeah they flat out told the ambulance to go away and waited an hour for him to bleed to death. i think that's sop though. there was a guy near my hometown that came home to an undercover cop in his driveway getting his dick sucked by another cop and ended up getting shot in the stomach and crawling 200 yards before dying despite being like five minutes from the hospital. Nowadays they'd just use a robot to drop a grenade on the guy

I also like the scene at the drive-in where those goons try to kill DeNiro and he makes sure to shoot one of them to spin him around so he can see the car about to run him over

sebmojo posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEFPcljAXgs Sometimes people complain that the guy on the right would've gotten his gun out way quicker but I bet that's a pretty accurate recreation of what would happen irl especially if you just saw your buddy catch two in the chest. I also like the detail of Cruise pushing the first guy's arm across his body to make it more awkward to recover, and to also ensure that he wouldn't get hit if the guy did manage to get a shot off. Even when Cruise raises his hands, his draw hand is slightly lower to make pulling his gun easier. So many great little details packed into one scene. haljordan fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Apr 15, 2023 |

Bip Roberts posted:I watched face off last night and god drat do they shoot a lot of cops in that movie, just fist pump after fist pump watching That movie is an all time classic, it STARTS with a child getting murdered and then a ridiculous plane/Hummer chase and never slows down from there. I feel privileged to have seen it in the theater when it first came out. haljordan fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Earwicker posted:Ronin is a great movie, its just as good as Heat imo just a different kind of movie. ive been meaning to watch it again actually. I like Ronin because it's like a David Mamet film, the objective is to get the case but they only spend maybe 2 minutes discussing what's actually in the case. So many other movies would make it explicitly clear what's in the case and why each side wants it and blah blah blah who cares when it really adds nothing to the plot. Also I think of the DRAW IT AGAIN scene whenever I watch Escape from LA lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj5Mp68u2tY&t=60s

Earwicker posted:well it definitely has a different feeling than most of his other movies, i cant think of any other mamet film with so much good action Yeah I'd say Spartan is maybe a close second but that only has 2 or 3 (fairly brief) scenes of intense action.

Earwicker posted:also speaking of david mamet, and heist movies, Heist is pretty good for what it is, but kind of weird. its got that kind of stodgy feeling that happens when mamet directs his own stuff. but i love the cast and the dialogue is fun. Ricky Jay was great in that one (as usual) and I always loved Delroy Lindo's performance.

Sydney Bottocks posted:IIRC,Friedkin hired several former counterfeiters to either do the money used in the movie or show the actors how to do it, something like that Yep quote:Despite the crew's best efforts, some of the counterfeit bills made for the film got into circulation. The bills' quality was very, very good, but the Treasury seal on the counterfeits used the letter X, which is not a valid Federal Reserve Bank letter. The Secret Service picked up X bills for quite a while after filming wrapped. And I apologize, it was the director who passed the money lol quote:William Friedkin, in his memoir "The Friedkin Connection", says that the fake money they made was so good that, after some of it left the set, he eventually heard from the Secret Service and a US Attorney. After he avoided a confrontation with them, Friedkin states, "When the film came out, there were news stories about people trying to make counterfeit money after seeing the step-by-step process in our film. I took some of the twenties, those printed on both sides of course, put them in my wallet, and spent them in restaurants, shoe-shine parlors, and elsewhere. The money was that good." haljordan fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jul 15, 2023 |
