I read somewhere that in the original script Pacino's character is on a lot of cocaine during the events of the film… Which makes this scene make a lot more sense

u/stillraddad 3h ago

No, he’s on a small yet consistent amount of cocaine “chipping”. For a large amount of cocaine see Scarface.

Fun fact. Al Pacino is the 22nd oldest father on record (per wikipedia). And De Niro is 34th.

One of my favorite things about that scene is that it was filmed on a Mother’s Day Sunday.

A waiter at a brunch place wrote that he was happy because all the shitty brunch customers were losing their minds.

Said it was the only good Mother’s Day he worked.

u/TheMaveCan 2h ago

Funniest thing is that he seems like the kind of guy that has gone shooting before. I know Z-List actors aren't going through special forces training for their roles but it's wild that he doesn't even know how to hold the fuckin thing

14

u/Prestigious-Bat-574 1h ago

The problem is more likely that he's too fucking fat and lazy to put any effort into holding the gun correctly.

u/LazyTitan39 1h ago

He has an extra in this movie for carrying a man up and down a flight of stairs. To be fair, I probably couldn’t do that either, but I don’t call myself an action star.

u/HourlyB 3h ago

/uj this footage is really cool, I'm super biased since Heat is my favorite film but seeing how they actually just did the gunfight for real on a LA street is so refreshing and impressive compared to all the greenscreen "Savana Georgia shot for New York/LA/Whatever" you see nowadays, not to mention how long the action is; emerg from cover to move to cover and shoot, then run to cover and stop/stand to shoot at a target that presented itself. Also that Al Pacino is really just hoofing a FNC like a LAPD detective would, not some hypertrained former spec ops protagonist. It's like seeing how the sausage is made but it's actually just seeing ground pork and spices not like a slaughter house.

/rj he's chasing after the guy who stole his DUNKACHINO

u/HourlyB 1h ago

Processing img 8x0ulyy7dwsh1...

This one. To the letter perfect for how to reload quickly while under fire.

Firing > Out of ammo > Into cover > Reload weapon in cover > Out of cover > Firing

Iirc he and the other robbers were trained by Andy McNabb of the British SAS on weapons handling, hence why they look so much more comforting with assault rifles compared to the cops.
