Heat was a remake. The original was called LA Takedown. It was a made for TV movie. It was word for work and scene for scene the exact same movie. For some reason it is not available in the US. You can find it on e bay on DVD but it is European formatted. If you have a Non Region specific DVD player you will be able to play it. The cast is younger and more beleivable. Heat was good but LA Takedown is the better and the original.

It's a 590. Note the second band about 1/3 of the way back on the barrel, where the sling attaches. That's unique to the 590's. Just in front of the sling is where the bayo lug is. It's not a 590A1 cause it has the heat shield on there. The A1's (like mine
 )have a heavier barrel that negates the possibility of mounting a heat shield. All the 590's I've seen have parkerized bolts, just like the rest of the gun. as an aside, the last time I saw a new 590 at a fun show, it didn't have a bayo lug on it. apparently they stopped making them so you can mount a pig sticker.

I had a VHS copy of L.A. Takedown, that I watched quite a bit (long gone nowHanna. The bad guys used Hk MP5-K sub guns. A lot of scenes were directly copied in Heat, and a few scenes were different. In L.A. Takedown the meeting between Neil and Hanna is accidental, as they see each other on the street and nearly draw down on each other, and then go for coffee. Here's a cool link to comparsion story, for all us fanatics: www.dangerousuniverse.com/2006/la_takedown/la_takedown.asp |

I am an athletic trainer by trade so i deal with alot of sports related injuries and the 'Valbow' looks to me as a case of bursitis. Or an inflammation of the elbow bursa sac caused usually by direct contact or infection. I have treated several athletes with it over the years and it does eventually go away but it can take sometime. Usually is is overly sensitive after it has becomed that inflammed and doesnt take much to irritate it again.

I noticed this too, and he also wore an elbow pad in The Island Of Dr. Moreau.
I thought it was maybe a case of the Gout or something.  But some other forum stated it was due to an injury while jumping off the stage filming The Doors. Is Valbow going a little off topic for this thread?

So I was watching the bank robbery scene today after picking up the DVD for $3...I hate to say it, but I think this movie is what got the CA AWB passed...
Collapsible stocks are evil as they were concealable under their overcoats, the full auto sprayed tons of EBR cop killer bullets that easily penetrated patrol cars, etc etc... Just thank god none of them used a bayonet!!! |

What kind of television does Pacino kick out onto the street?
|

Posted: 7/25/2008 8:30:03 PM EDT
[#34]
Anyone got the specs on Pachino's fishtank?
All kidding aside, I just watched it for the first time, finished it 5minutes ago. Amazing film. The scene where Pachino and the cop are in the elevator, and hes cycling rounds out of the shotgun - is he just switching from buckshot to slugs, or something of that matter? |

I was wondering to...Im guessing he was switching to slugs to breach the door... |
|
|
|
|
Posted: 7/26/2008 9:54:44 AM EDT
[#36]
Correct. He was switching to breaching rounds but they were probably not true slugs. Some breaching rounds have a hard rubber slug filled with powdered lead. They make quick work of locks and such without a lot of fragmentation, for safety's sake. |

The guy with the Steyr TMP at the drive-in looks exactly like the guy with the TMP in the restroom shootout near the beginning of True Lies. Same guy, same gun, movies released only a year apart (1994, 1995). Check it out.

Great thread!
I did a Movie Guns post on this a while back and I wish that I had known about this. Check it out if you're interested in some shots of the Star Megastars, as well as some other guns that you may not have seen - http://fateoflegions.blogspot.com/2008/06/movie-guns-x.html |

My wife and I watched Heat last night, it was her first time, and yes, she actually asked me what gun Al Pacino as using.. which I about died with laughter.. she didn’t get it..
Anyways.. I got the thinking.. De Niro’s Character, Neil told Eady that he had a father and brother “out there somewhere”. Watching the movie for the umpteenth time, I noticed how all of the characters were fairly distant from each other, except for Neil’s relationship with Chris (Val Kilmer) and Nate (Jon Voight). It seems like Nate is a father figure for Neil, and Neil also treats Chris like a brother, even taking care to try and save his marriage when he catches Chris’ wife cheating on him. So that it makes me wonder.. Is that his actual family? Could they keep that distance so they can walk away without regrets or to say goodbye? Is it a way of protecting each other if one is caught? Just some thoughts there.. |

Mann is supervising a complete remaster with Warner Brothers for a Blu-ray release either the end of this year or early next year. The master Warner had for the DVD release was only mastered in 1080i, so rather than half-ass it they are totally redoing it. Will also come complete with a brand new lossless soundtrack, knowing Warner probably Dolby TrueHD.
