If you&#8217;re too young or just don&#8217;t have a clue what movie I&#8217;m referring to, stop and find a way to stream it. Watch it in its entirety and come on back as there are some spoilers ahead.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heat<\/em> was an excellent film in many ways. Things are done right because the filmmaker actually used advisors who knew what they were doing and he listened to their advice. I mean if you&#8217;re going to pay for advisors, you ought to listen to them right? Either way, I digress. The actors also received weapons training. Here&#8217;s a behind the scenes feature:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text-center article-iframe d-flex flex-wrap justify-content-center\"><iframe title=\"Heat Shootout Behind the Scenes Feature\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gW0yebyGk-8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>All the hard work of the actors and filmmakers paid off with a great movie with a good plot, character development, and some of the best shootout scenes in Hollywood history.
