doc_newstead Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 It was on the digital channels nearly every day a few months back. I used to just leave it on if there was nothing better on Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 What? Val Kilmer shouldn't be allowed to 'act' never mind shoot through walls. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He doesn't act, though. Or 'act', for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites
Jett Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Good gunfight. I prefered the opening scene of Predator II though, much more unrealistic but better variety of weapons. Link to post Share on other sites

horzathesecound Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i prefered predator two hands down. That movie was a little dull for most of it. But then i was dog tired when i watched it a few months back and i just wanted to go to sleep. Whcih is why i may have a poor opinion of it. Link to post Share on other sites

ED-SKaR Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 has anyone noticed the fact that the rear view mirror falls of the getaway car TWICE!!! just before the driver snufs it. and having watched the film again (woo for VHS recording) i re-make my comment that the armoured car scene was sick (pointless executious) and infact the "trade gone wrong" in the middle was actually quite cool Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 When you say, "sick", do you mean it in the 'cool' sense or in the 'disgusting' sense? Link to post Share on other sites

El Ornitorrinco Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Whomever coreographed that obviously has no battle experience. It was far better than most hollywood shootouts, however it was nowhere near realistic. Cops hiding behind cars getting killed by a guy with no cover waist up? Sure. Link to post Share on other sites

It was far better than most hollywood shootouts, however it was nowhere near realistic. Cops hiding behind cars getting killed by a guy with no cover waist up? Sure. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Errr...... North Hollywood Bank Shootout Two gunmen with body armour and a variety of automatic rifles vs the LAPD. Result was 12 wounded officers, 2 wounded civilians, one wounded dog and 10 very badly shot-up patrol cars. Only safe place to hide behind a car from a rifleman is behind the engine block, even if they are just using standard FMJ rounds. Both robbers were killed, one of them was hit 11 times, the other a staggering 29 times. The gunmen were apparently inspired by the 'Heat' bank shootout scene. The guy who took 29 hits wore body armour over his torso, then cut up more body armour and wrapped it around his legs and arms. Made him very difficult to take down, but also reduced his maneuverability. 9mm pistol rounds and shotgun pellets just bounced off. Morale of the story: don't bring a pistol to a rifle fight.

Frangible Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 A classic (Heat) IMVHO Mr 'McNab' provided a lot of technical advice on the film, including the security van attack, bank robbery, eyeball squeezing and all kinds of things.. Link to post Share on other sites

oikoik Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 might be BS but i heard that the downtown bank sequence in HEAT, along with the ambush in Clear and Present Danger are used in [military?] training.. i thought the primary thing about the bank shootout in HEAT was that they use fire and maneuver tactics, okay, which is basic infantry stuff, but something that is not often used or bothered about in hollywood films. The Way of the Gun imo has some good gunplay in it as well, and iirc the advisor was an ex SEAL.. [yeah, you see them reload] Link to post Share on other sites
