Collateral - The Making of 

That whole scene is just killer.

Absolutely one of my favorite movie scenes of all time

YOU TALKING TO ME ????????????

@@abcdef-kx2qt, yep, the two of 'em, those two scenes side by side at the top of movie history!

💯💥💥💥💥💥💥

He makes LA look cooler than any director ever has.

It looks as though he's developing a prequel to Heat

Mr Mann has created a publishing company, Michael Mann books.. The heat prequel is book 2, the book on le roux is book 1. Also he is developing a movie on Paul Calder Le Roux It will be amazing. Le Roux is a real life Bond villain.. I've read two books on Le Roux, fascinating stuff. www.google.com/amp/s/deadline.com/2019/01/michael-mann-books-heat-hunting-leroux-paul-calder-leroux-elaine-shannon-harper-collins-1202537564/amp/

This IS Heat 2. Grey suits, 2 opposite forces, L.A w no stages etc..

#FACTS

100%. Love those (Miami Vice too, although not on the same level).

Actually there's a flip side that you'd agree with me on. This script was tossed all around until Michael Mann made it happen. Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler were supposed to be the original actors. Sandler would play the cab driver. It was a great film but the other cast would take the cake.

@@southbeachmiamiart895 that's gonna be a no from me dog.

Jamie foxx makes this Ridiculous movie watchable

Agreed really enjoy watching this movie.

I wonder what wacky modifications the cab would have had if Sandler had stayed on.

Miami vice has a couple of great about outs too.

Miami vice it's up there

There is a fascinating story about how the heat shooting track was recorded, you should google it. :)

Because They used real ammunition in this movie.

@@karagun5547 No ammos. Real blanks.

I downloaded the soundtrack on to my phone.

INCREDIBLE

Lucky you man , I was 1 years old in 2004 lmao

I know exactly what you mean. A very sad ending I must say. I don't see that popcorn experience will ever be close to the same =/

so true! i saw this in theaters and a week later saw the Village..

Mcu ruined it.

Tommy Wiseau might just be the one able to redeem Hollywood if he's willing to continue

I KNOW! he's awaesome!

"Heat" (1995) 👍

Between “Ferrari” and “Tokyo Vice” I feel like we’re about to experience a Mannaissance

I’ve dabbled in the film industry for 7 years now. I’ve have some buddies who are local indie filmmakers and anytime I work with them or asked how to approach a scene I say, the same way Michael Mann would…him and David Fincher are my 2 favorite directors and I had the chance to work 1 on 1 with Fincher as a body double on Mindhunter.

His problem these days is he's either trying too hard or not trying at all. That said, his directors cut for Blackhat was pretty good. I have no fucking clue why he's not releasing it cus it's vastly superior to the cinematic cut.

Bland cinematography

@@jothishprabu8 in your opinion what do you think is the best cinematography

@Meta Man, I don't know much about the technical side of cinematography. Where I'm from it's totally underappreciated. Thanks for the insight.👍

@@jothishprabu8 "bland" b/c it's night time.

@@werenotfree4841 Bourne Trilogy

My favourite crime movie of all time. Virtually perfect. 👍

100% the one where he draws and shoots with his forward leg extended straight gun pulled out and pointed up with no wasted movement at all to literally draw and shoot that first guy in the alley in like 1/10 of a second John Wick def used that move several times. Say what you want about Tom Cruise but dude is an action beast.

The thing about Keanu is he doesn't have ferocity and anger in his face when he acts. Tom Cruise, he is a beast.

Well stated. I agree 100% 👏🏻

I agree but in fact there were a lot of cgi but it was used with such finesse and expertise it blends perfectly. Like David finchers zodiac, you cannot tell they used digital effects at all 😀

I saw it as the coyote is stalking something inside the city streets, just as the cops are doing towards him and hes feeling the pressure

Because if you want digital to emulate the film look, it can, but film can’t emulate digital. Just look at Roger Deakins’ work, he shoots on digital.

David Fincher does it very good too on digital.

Yes, I like this.

Nah that wud be tarantino

They don't make em like they used to huh?

The way he drew his firearm and his attitude. I only give this film a B+ because this script was tossed all around until Michael Mann made it happen; he should have had Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler who were supposed to be the original actors. Sandler would play the cab driver. It was a great film but the other cast would take the cake.

@@southbeachmiamiart895 this is a terrible take

Overall performance was great. Gun handling is novice at best. You are not going to make clumsy actor look like professional. However Hollywood is trying to spin it Cruise is a pretty clumsy person. All his physical stunts look weird for people in the know. Still love his movies - apart from Mission Impossible crap.

@@hagestad Jesus Christ another terrible take

@@impatrickt lol. Tom shooting might look pro for a novice or perhaps it's made that way for camera. But it's looking to me like half speed of what its actually like on real situations and 5 times slower than best at it. Again that all might be the way they actuality wanted it for movie to create drama.

2006 Miami Vice is right there as well...

Last of the Mohicans best film

I don't think Hollywood was too flattered/ happy with Tom's character in Tropic Thunder. 😆 Nor any aspect of that comedy classic.

What about Jamie Foxx ??? Don't insult my guy by nit mentioning him ??? Im not even going to name all his projects. But Foxx does music as well ... And he's damn good at that too. Not taking anything away from Cruz but what else does your hero Tom do , besides act & Scientology ??? Im just saying...🤔

@@kendudagrea8484 Tom does all his own stunts he is incredible! And way better looking than fox will ever be!

Far and Away? lol. You must be trolling. Especially as you didn’t mention Rain Man, which is probably the thing he most deserved to win for.

Agree with ya! The work he puts in for everyone’s back story and what he goes thru to make his movies authentic. He’s the only director or anyone for that matter that I’ll listen to his commentary during the movie

It's on the home video releases, isn't it?

One of my favorites if all time. Manhunter. Loved that movie. I’ll see anything Michael Mann makes.

⁠@@Wilson.katie815Have you seen at least seasons 1 and 2 of Miami Vice then?

@@E3T7 of course. I’ve seen all the seasons at one time.

That's too few times.

yep. Me too.

I’ll have a word with him

Just don't get basic and cast that girly boy Timothay Chalamooth(sp?). Get an earthy American kid actor who isn't the darling of Hollywood or NY

Agreed, but definitely not Netflix. HBO perhaps.

No. I like the mystery.

Underrated by who? Nobody who knows anything about the film industry has anything but the highest regard for Michael Mann's work.

@@ivanjulian2532 ok good for you

do you think this is true about anyone who does what they do well?

​@@bofetada6841 Mann's quote is stored in my brain differently than what he actually says. I add a little something to it: "the answers you get aren't obvious ... until you hear them". That's how I like to interpret it. Once you hear an answer from someone who is truly good at what they do, you may be lucky enough to hear an answer that immediately and obviously changes your perspective. For example, if a race car driver says they don't watch the cars in front of them but instead they watch the horizon and everything slows down.

That is super cool

Same exact train station too

@Dimitar Belilov It is meant to be his character from The Transporter movies

@@thomaskilroy4573 It's something official?..

@Gabriel Swayze Director Michael Mann said so himself.

That would be pretty cool.

Are they literally brothers? Who knows, but the two movies are connected in all sorts of ways, no doubt about it. Mann book ends the films with the same shot. Heat begins with a train entering a station, coming towards the camera and carrying the film's anti hero protagonist into the movie, so to speak. Collateral ends with a train leaving the very same station, moving away from the camera and the audience, carrying the (now dead) anti hero out of the movie. If that doesn't suggest the two movies are companion pieces, I don't know what does!

@@davidlean1060 good point there.

@@carlossilverio7325 I could go on. Heat ends with the anti hero dying at the end a LAX runway. Collateral starts with the sound of jet wheels touching down and the first thing we see in vincent stroling through LAX terminal. There's loads of other little details. Put it this way, whether they are literally brothers is debatable, but it's easy to see why those fan theories have sprung up.

When i find something i upload it and if the studio lets us keep it up then i post. Glad people like it. The audio commentary is very good also if you get a chance.

@@behindthescreens-dvdfilmsc2105 where can I get the full version of this?

@@Letzgomusic The making of? You'll have to buy the DVD or Bluray. The audio commentary by the Director is fantastic.

Old man

The whole time watching this i was just hoping and wishing that jada would catch a stray round to the head lol

And without any FAKE ass CGI Kinetic Action HORSESH*T!!!

Yeah man, I'm a big fan of the color of money and collateral. two unreal films that are enjoyable from beginning to end.
