The Making of "Heat" in HD (1995) 

One of THE BEST movies ever made.

A movie that can actually be rewatched over and over again w/o getting bored. That is a mark of a great film.

The soundtrack of this film is so underrated, especially the ending score. Masterpiece.

One of Val Kilmer’s most badass roles.

Outstanding. I was 20 when I saw Heat. I’m 50 now and it’s still with me.

Michael Mann has the best character development. You care about every character in this film, the cops, the crooks, the kids, the victims, great film.

The 90s were a great decade for how the cinema could show both cops and criminals in the most humanizing light. Especially thanks to directors like Michael Mann with Heat.

This is absolutely incredible. Not just an amazing and timeless film, but the level of depth that Mann goes to create the worlds that he creates. One of a kind

Should have won all the Oscars that year!

The scene in the coffee shop between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino has become so iconic that it's actually shown in acting colleges and film schools to show them how to film a scene with two actors perfectly interacting

I could watch this masterpiece 24/7 and never get tired of it

The 90's, the last decade with great movies, music, and television.

In the parting shot, Vincent knows he found his equal and that he'll never witness such a crew again in his career. It was his peak moment and now it's over. He respects Neil and he's kind of sad it ended like it did. His psyche will never be the same afterwards. Moby's music is phenomenal in this scene. I always loved the soundtrack. At times you can hear gentle electric guitar notes with echo without sounding totally cliché. It's also a love letter to Los Angeles. Just like in Collateral, it's the perfect urban setting. Almost a character in itself. I remember being fascinated by Heat as a young adult and with RU-vid, I see how scrutinous people are with this movie now and it brings me joy.

Michael Mann has made 3 of my favorite movies. HEAT, COLLATERAL, MIAMI VICE. In HEAT.

My favorite movie of all time!! It was and forever will be a masterpiece...

Heat is THE perfect crime movie, unmatched to these days. Great plot, brilliant actors, and perfectly conducted by Michael Mann and his team,

When Michael Mannn make a movie, you need to go see it.

The making of a legend. Mann began creating this many years before, and after several variations that were brilliant in their own right, the culmination was born in the final masterpiece. 1995. Heat.

You know the movie is the best when it’s behind the scene features are this in depth… Top notch production from top to bottom

I remember when my friends and I were on our way to see Pulp Fiction in Dec 1994, we decided to stop at a store to get some things...So I decided to look through the magazines and I literally lost my mind when I first found out that De Niro and Pacino were re-uniting for a crime film called "Heat" in a magazine called "Movieline". Keanu Reeves' name was also listed with them but later dropped out and the role went to Val Kilmer. At that time I was a HUGE De Niro/Pacino fan who grew up in the 80s watching films like Godfather, Raging Bull, Scarface, Goodfellas, Carlitos Way etc I had been already exited about De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese reuniting for Casino and now this..?? Mind blown!!!

One of the greatest movies of all time. Absolutely legendary!

This is one of the reasons I don’t watch regular tv , I watch RU-vid when it gives you documentaries like this on my favourite movies and how they were produced. Who needs a uk 🇬🇧 tv licence when you have RU-vid. A marvellous piece of video software .

Michael Mann has attention to detail that IMO is unparalleled...LOVE his movies. I agree this film will be a timeless classic, my top 3 favorite films probably #1

I STRONGLY recommend Michael Mann's sequel Heat 2. Incredible book that I couldn't put down. Rumor has it, that Michael is potentially putting a plan together to put it to film. 😮

The 2 greatest actors of all time in the same film. How could it NOT be brilliant?!!!

Jon Voight really did a great job as Nate. This role and Mickey Donovan are the pinnacle of his career.

for 20 years i've been open to seeing a film that would become my new favorite. hasn't happened & i don't think it ever will. god, Heat is as good as it gets. i'm THRILLED that now people born after 1994 have embraced this pic for the masterpiece it is. changed the game.

One of the best movies ever. Tom Sizemore was one of my very best friends and this is my favorite movie of his. I thought he was so good in it. Definitely in my top five of all time. Thanks for posting this. “The action IS the juice.”

That diner scene alone is worth the watch brilliantly written acted and delivered just perfect

I don't know how many times I have watched this movie. It really is one you can watch over and over like someone else pointed out.

I had the privilege of seeing this on opening night

31:37 "working for Michael Mann is like taking a nice slow back swing and just following through" what a nice description

Casting Val was a stroke of genius also…

Always loved Heat. One of my favorites. After watching this, offering far more insight, only gives me much more appreciation for the movie.

Around Christmas back in 95 when this was released a cousin of mine and her husband had cabin fever from hanging with the family for days so we decided to go check out a flick after dinner. We walked into Heat blind and was bitchslapped by how great it was. I’m 53 now and still watch it almost yearly. Mann is a genius. He has a handful of misses, but Mohicans, Heat, and Miami Vice are bonafide cinematic masterpieces…

I once was on a commercial film with an FBI agent who said this is still his favorite action movie of all time.

Great movie, one you can watch again and again it never gets old.

Funny story, the tower where he buys the bank contract and that house that Trejo gets killed, are 1/2 a mile apart and in the middle is the bridge where Jamie Foxx throws Vincent’s briefcase over in Collateral. That bridge is 100 yards from an elementary school. Harrison Elementary, where I attended. During the filming of Heat, they parked ALL the trailers in the Recess yard. I hated that because we didn’t have recess for 3 weeks and had to get our food and go to class. Hell for a kid that lived a breathed kickball…lol

So glad that all of these pieces were put together. My favorite part of this BTS was actually the location scouts explaining their process. Not a side of filmmaking you often see.

The De Niro Pacino scene is one of the best scenes in cinema history.

Simply one of the greatest American movies ever made. Starts with the music and then solid in every other facet. The fact that is a crime saga is secondary really in my eyes but this is what makes it so compelling. Everyone is so all in.

Screw it. It’s my favourite movie of all time. I love Godfather 1 & 2, The Exorcist, Goodfellas, Night of the Hunter but this is the one I go back to the most. Every character has a story to tell & is perfectly cast. The look & vibe of the film is so cool & immersive. The sound is awesome. I can’t fault anything about it. It’s a masterclass in every aspect of filmmaking. It’s just the best 🤷🏻‍♂️

To date, this is my favorite movie!

The level of dedication and insight that Mann takes is incredible!

L.A. have never been filmed more beautiful than in H.E.A.T. and Collateral 🙌🏻♥️#michaelmann

Word has it that Michael Mann is currently working on the screenplay for Heat 2. I have read the book, so we'll have to wait and see.

Oh man what a movie. Just great.

One of the best movies in my collection by far. Brilliant.🙏

Michael Mann is an interesting dude. I like the way he looks at the world. No wonder his movies are so good.

Heat 2, the book. So good ! Was so happy to find it.

RIP Tom Sizemore

This movie is still in the top 1 movies I have ever watched. 😃❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I worked on the diner scene. Both actors were there and it took 3 nights to film

The best shoot out in film EVER!!

I remember hearing the loud gunshots from the filming that day. It was a Sunday and I was in the library across the street. I didn't know what they filming or who was in it and didn't bother to find out because experience taught me asking the retired police security guys "what's the show?" always got me the " I dunno" response. Just remember how noisy it was...

Never seen this making-of. Thanks for sharing. Exited about Heat 2

I've always maintained that this is a story about people with something to lose. Every character in the film loses something.

Heat is an epic movie on so many levels, now sit down, let it bleed

I was very lucky to see this at the cinema way back in 1996

Fantastic upload! Thank you!

I just love this movie two of my favourite actors De Niro & Al Pacino but I have to say all the actors done a brilliant job. The story line was amazing and sound track was also brilliant, the detail that Michael Mann brought into the film was fantastic such a wonder creator and director. What more can I say I can watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it just like God Father (1 & 2 ) Hunt For The Red October, The Sting, The Great Escape, to name a few of my favourites. Thank You For Making This Work Of Cinematic Brilliance. Cheer Irish Paul

Everyone is at the top of their game in this movie.

One of the best movies of all time. I'm not one for violence, but love the complexity of humans on the fringe of mainstream society, so this film absorbs and and compels as it builds the tension. Cast is perfection, their characters are familiar and tragic and you want to know more but not intrude. Brilliant.

I have a huge collection of movies. As far as crime thrillers go, I have HEAT at the #1 spot. Just a perfect movie. Every actor was on their A game.

GREAT THE MAKING OF HEAT (1995 ) FILM - IN HD !!!!

Everytime i sit and watch since 95,....the more it gets better and better ,... pacino and de niro

Again, this is #MichaelMann who KNOWS his music 🎵 and crew and cast. He was and IS still the best in the world of cinema 🏆

Fantastic! thank you for uploading.

Recently Heat has been popping up quite often in my mind for the past couple of weeks but i didn’t rush to watch it instead I’ve waited until i was completely free where I’d has no distractions and this time i could watch it all the way through and go back and rewatch a few scenes especially the whole bank robbery. On rewatching I’d forgotten how stunning Amy Brenneman (Eady) is especially her hair which makes her extra gorgeous

I was in prison when this movie came out. .I miss alot good movies an music that came out..I didn't hear about this movie tell 2010 .I'm still fascinated by this movie.

This video is so good. Thanks for posting.

I'm currently reading the book "Heat 2" really good story 🔥

Thanx ❤to everybody Involved in this mastepeace ❤....ALWAYS A JOY WATCH IN AGAIN AND AGAIN

Michael Mann "The Keep" Another great movie with similar music .

HEAT is a film you never forget

This was the first step in Pacino's trip to the sub-basement of acting.

One of the best movies ive seen 👌

I was at the main public library in downtown L.A., when Mann was filming the bank robbery shootout one weekend. I only heard it. I didn't see anyone. A security guard had told me what was going on. The gunfire was loud and insane.

The Godfather & Michael Corleone having a father & son moment.

best shootout in movie history!!

Masterpiece!

One thing is sure, Al Pacino would never accept even to see De Niro's face from 100 meters away, today.

Not a greenscreen in sight

I watch it several times per year

I've watched this masterpiece many times. But, Pacino only made $5 million, while De Niro made millions more. Both were pros. Both are fantastic actors. They were each other twins. They should have been paid equally.

Minus "Band of the Hand", all of Mann's flm work is ageless.

I loved the movie Tom Sizemore died last year, troubled life Great actor..

Michael Mann was an incredible director. Small body of work, but some were truly special. 53:44 yes! I loved that song in that moment!

Michael Mann is the best Action director ever 🙏🙏👍

MASTERPIECE of a film

It's a really amazing movie. It didn't really hit me at the time how iconic it was. I never watched Miami Vice as a kid and didn't know enough about Pacino or Dinero to understand how legendary just the two of them sharing the same scene was. But I definitely enjoyed it upon first watch

What a brilliant piece of content - thank you so much for posting 👏👊💪👍

The greatest crime movie ever put out

@12:44 Sizemore just speaking as a true unrestrained badass. 😆

I still don't get how people gets 'Heat' and not Miami Vice. I think the 2006 movie was a visual masterpiece. Could rewatch both of those movies any time. So watch Miami Vice! An awesome movie!

I vividly remember watching the first scene of Heat when I was way too young to be watching such a film. When Waingro puts down the guard who has been deafened by the blast and they end up killing them all in their ski masks. It was the first time I’d seen proper adult violence and the 10 year old voice in my head was like what the f*** is this shit!? Haha 22 years later, still my favourite film

I’ve seen this movie a bunch of times and what makes it great is it’s a character study and it also tells the story of a city and the different kinds of people, good and bad, who live in it, and needless to say the acting by the ensemble cast was great, towards the end you almost hope Mcauley gets away and your sad as he reaches up his hand to hold Hannah’s in his last moments, like at the end he realized he needed human connections after all, great flick!

Hollywood should leave "Heat" alone. I've heard that Michael Mann works on a sequel...maybe that could work as well, if he films it as a third act to the then thematic trilogy of "Heat", "Collateral" and this hypothetical sequel to "Heat".

The Greatest Movie shootout ever!

I have always thought that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were not in the set at same time but pictures prove that they were.
