For the bank robbery shootout in Heat, Michael Mann spent months putting the actors through intensive tactical firearms training. But what makes the scene great is its psychological realism, each character acts in way that tells us something about who they are. Mann explains…

“In my planning, I wanted to move from the dramatic to actuality. The second (Val Kilmer) he sees them, no hesitation. Bam. He opens up.

The planning and everything else came from: what are situations in which everything suddenly starts to go wrong?

The LAPD assets — as the clock ticks, more and more of them are going to come in. The point is to get out, and get out fast, and do it with real aggression.

The police are used to overwhelming power and overwhelming force. They’re not used to being assaulted by people who know what they’re doing. And they don’t do that well when they are.

If drama is conflict, that’s the basic conflict - it’s all character and it’s all story.

(Tom) Sizemore’s route that he takes is like Sizemore. He picks up a child. Why does he pick up a child? That’s because he’s a sociopath. He would do anything for his kids, but he doesn’t care about your kids at all. They’re zeros.

McCauley (De Niro) fires randomly because he knows Pacino will try to keep people down. It’s all driven by character and attitude. And the choreography of the scene, and where they were in the landscape, was plotted out months before we shot it. It was down to every single detail.

And then all of the weapons training that the guys did was under very, very strict supervision by the range masters — L.A. County Sheriff’s range masters. I was able to build every single car and station on that shootout — this lamppost, this mailbox — with full live ammo. So in the actors’ minds, not only did they become incredibly skilled, but it was real.

They used some of the film of Val Kilmer firing forward, turning, firing back, and then doing a reload. They used that in Fort Bragg.

They said - “95% of you will not be able to fire as well as this actor.”
