Even quickdraw champions and Cops etc. think this scene is perfect gun handling and as tactical as is gets. They love it and hold it as the best quickdraw ever in a movie. Even his form, is literally perfect. Say whatever you want about Tom, but dude has clearly been trained by pros and was paying attention.
Tom Cruise is a completely deranged sociopath obsessed with flying spaghetti monsters but the man is a very good actor and he works very hard to master all the skills needed to make a scene or a movie look real. This scene is the best tactical quickdraw I have ever seen and I don't think it is possible to do it better. Really remarkable stuff.
@@Dime-bz6hc Oh, absolutely, lol. The way he went at Brooke Shields, was disgusting. He apologized to her and they are now friends. But it shows just how arrogant he is and deranged. Scientologists are nuts.
This was a role Tom Cruise pulled off with almost no visible effort.Damn,he's good.And Micheal Mann is brilliant in making gunshots sound excitingly real.
Tom Cruise walks towards them without fear because it's in the script. The director told him to walk towards the actors without fear. He told him not to flinch. It's in the script, it's not real life, it's a movie. He's an actor, you don't have to have fantasies about him... he's only pretending.

Taxtro It's because a mugger's goal is to intimidate you, not to kill you. Not saying that muggers don't shoot, but they would prefer if you got scared and handed your valuables.
We need a prequel to explain his parents backstory, too. We need a prequel for Max actually to understand how he became a taxi driver. We actually need a prequel for that thug too showing how he got to that point, and a prequel for the rock to show how it--

Michael Mann establishes a mood in Collateral that worked very well. The darkness, the lights of the city, the people up close and personal. Excellent work.
Mann is a master at recreating that night-time mood. The muted color palette, the flickering street and car lights, the sound of far-away traffic, the feeling of loneliness. He’s got it down to a t.

Can never get tired of watching just this part! The accuracy of the whole scene makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! Vincent 2, scumbag homey zip! 👌
Worked for the PD, completed 3 levels of training, conceal & accuracy, Sheriff tactical and SWAT hostage / takedown. From my vantage point, watching this movie, Tom Cruise had more than tactical, this is leaning towards special op moves, even the way he spaces himself between people, his positioning as he walks behind people. Always keep vitals covered whenever possible using whatever possible, impressive he does it without drawing attention like he says in movie. Does very well, very good technical advisor they hired to teach him, almost textbook 👍🏻💥
My uncle is former military and currently law enforcement. He says they teach you kill shots. One to the head and 2 chest shots. Nearly almost always fatal.
I liked the ambience of this film. It's also one of those classic films based on one night of adventure. I always have liked those 'one day' or 'one night' movies. Something magical about them - "The Warriors", "American Graffitti", etc...
Die Hard Series, Speed, 12 Rounds, The Raid, Training Day, Crank, Under Siege, Escape from New York, Non-Stop, 16 Blocks, Mad Max FR, T2, John Wick, Tenet…Name them…tight plots, high tensions from the Start to the end. I love this too…collateral is one of the best example 4 this kind of movie
What happened with the gun that was holded by the homie? did it felt from his hand or was it retained by Tom Cruise. I can't figure, Cruise's movements are so fast.
I had a staff Sgt in the Marine corps who referenced this movie more than once (he was an instructor at the school of infantry). He referenced this scene and when Vincent is in the bar (he shoots in the reverse prone). This movie is so accurate from a shooters standpoint it's amazing
That's why the ending bothers me so much, this character is a beast, a Taxi driver would NEVER outsmart him in the train like that. But I guess the good guy had to win.
@@luciocunha928 he even got the kill patterns right. Two shots to the chest, one to the face. That's called a failure drill and we would hang targets and shoot them hundreds of times in that pattern. This movie is very accurate
Always feel a very distant connection to this big/global Hollywood scene. Tom was trained by a British SAS CQB member. My old man was a pioneer in this area for this regiment (22 SAS [equivalent Delta Force for the yanks]) in its early years (64-70). So I like to think, at some level he inadvertently played a very minor role in this, however removed.
He literally had his hands in the “I don’t want any problems/surrendering position” 😂 His hand was far from his weapon. He just moved quick and drew fast because he trains a lot. But I get your point.
@@victrixnocte3531 Yeah, it looked like he positioned his left hand at level with the guy's gun, and had his right hand lower and closer to his holster.
You do understand that all the sounds are dubbed in later in a studio, right? And that the sacred guns fire blanks? And that shooting people is not something to aspire to?
This scene is an absolute Masterclass on how to do shootout scenes in a movie. One of the best touches? - no music soundtrack. For me music is the curse of movies. This scene shows how gritty , powerful and realistic you can make a scene without some stupid score playing. The firearm sounds are great too. No exaggerated deep bass like other movies! Well done!
You're partially right. Underscore, when done well, adds immeasurably to the emotional impact of a scene. Of course there are instances where natural sounds alone work best, and this is one such example.
Thats exactly how we were trained to do it in the armed forces. Whats that? What branch was I in? Thats classified. Just know I fought in the clone wars.
Former Infantry Marine here , yes two to the chest one to the head is the standard. It is complete muscle memory. He looks as if he's complying as he raises his hands but that just makes it easier to swat the guys gun while simultaneously using his other hand to move his coat tail and grab his pistol. He also shot that guy first because he already had his gun out and was the greater threat, whereas the other guy still had his pistol in his waist band. This was perfectly done. As a legendary assassin he knew exactly how to read the situation and react. Also close in shooting where they are less than 3 feet away this is exactly how you shoot your pistol. Elbow touching his hip, pistol straight toward target not sticking out so other guy can grab it. You do not have to aim when you're that close to your target.
Reminds me of the drills we ran in the kill houses in South Korea, 11B, 2ID, as long as you haven't passed the opposing soldier whose down, go ahead and hit the head with a tap too. I can visualize that experience when I see the kill house scene in Navy Seals, even though they were beyond showing off during that scene lol
always loved this film and Mann never disappoints! if you did not know, the coyote in the movie was not scripted it just ran through the set and they filmed it! it fit the vib of Vincent being a lone Coyote or wolf
Here's what makes it tactical: 1. Weapon Retention - Being able to have positive control of your weapon when your opponent is that close is super important. This is what separates true gunfighters from what you see from guys like this thug doing. The thug had his arm stretched out (weapon presented), closed his distance on Cruise while Cruise was able to divert the muzzle away while simultaneously drawing his firearm. 2. Presentation - Notice that once Cruise manipulated the opponents firearm away from him, Cruise jumps into a "low draw presentation." Basically, seconds matter in a gunfight and if your opponent is that close- you don't need to spend more time aiming, just draw and shoot at the hip because it would be hard to miss at that distance. 3. Follow Through Presentation - Then notice how Cruise follows through from that low draw into an "isosceles presentation." An Isosceles stance at this distance is really for weapon retention. Not really for "aiming," but if Thug 2 wanted to throw hands and go for Cruise's weapon, it would be hard to pry it off of two hands vs if Cruise still had one point of contact (one hand) on his firearm. There are legit videos of SOC Vet Operators teaching this stuff on CZcams. You'll see these same movements in movies like John Wick.
And here's why it's not tactical. The first person he should have shot is the bald guy, not the guy whose gun he has already pushed out of the way. Had the bald guy not been so slow and just jumped around waiting to be shot, Vicent would have got a bullet himself. The long haired guy's gun is already out of the way, Vincent should have hold on to his wrist. For a moment there, he's no longer a threat. The bald guy is the only threat remaining and requires immediate elimination. Put at least one bullet in him and then shoot the long haired guy.
@@joemanner6171 Very true. It's easy to play what ifs in a chaotic scenario such as this one. Regardless, what I love about this scene is that it shows Vincent is the one in control in this confrontation- which for any person with decent gun skills/training, it isn't unlikely to have this confidence. I'm willing to bet a few coins that the bald guy has zero training in this caliber of gun skills. Which isn't too far off from reality. The average person would scramble to react as they watch their partner in crime have his life card pulled. Also, when things happen that fast and you're breaking off shots quickly- it can be easy to shoot yourself in the arm/hand.
90's -2000's Tom Cruise was a hell of an actor man, specifically his run from 96-04; crazy amount of range, wish he really continued to take roles like this
Great movie! Always thought that it's highly underrated, it's brilliant. Both Fox and Cruise were awesome, I'd love to see Cruise playing more 'Bad guy' roles.
Love that he does double tap and “Mozambique’s” the other guy! Also love the club scene where he transitioned from on his back firing, then into crouched/knee position.
It was really a "Box Drill" A Mozambique is against only 1 agressor. With 2 it's: 2 rounds COM at #1 2 rounds COM and 1 head shot at #2 and 1 head shot at #1.
I’d love to see a Vincent prequel, personally it’s Tom’s best role for me, Vincent seems like a friendly and affable guy but simultaneously he’s also intimidating and scary
First time watching this scene everything just happened so fast, I was like " HOLY SHIT!! " But those few seconds just showed you proper technique, what to do, and especially what not to do. You can break it down and analyze it for hours.
I was a police officer for 24 years and in the military for 20 years active/reserve in the Army/USAF.....his tactics are right on....I was taught the same deflection move and gun draw in a academy I was in where they taught aikido based weaponless defense.......Tom Cruise is one hell of an athlete and took his training seriously...not like the old time BS like they had back in the day with Don Johnson clearing rooms with the hand gun up in the air next to his right ear...
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. if someone already has a gun pointed to your face though isn't it a bad idea to try to deflect like that? Sounds like you will get shot without a doubt
@USAF DIRT BOYZ I would say his tactics were wrong here. He should have shot the other guy first, he was the one who still had a weapon. in real life, he likely wouldn't have fumbled pulling out his gun like he did in this scene.
@@Daniel-hs9bj yeah this scene relied on the guy not pulling the trigger on Tom for whatever reason and the other guy fumbling for his weapon. Unrealistic to me
Michael Mann's sound design techniques are one of the subtle reasons he's so good at capturing a mood. The way he let that dramatic ominous tone build, then immediately cut off and go to practical sound for the actual moment of action. That's an excellent use of sound in cinema.
You can disagree with Tom's personal life but, you have to admit he's really good (one of the best) at the subtleties of conveying actions of human movements thus making his acting more believable.
Tom is probably the most Professional Actor in cinematic history. Nobody has ever been able to push boundaries as consistently and as fluidly. Another way to say it, he's the most Prepared Actor in history. Nobody works harder and nobody takes on more responsibility. He really is a special talent.
I think Cruise's bizarre personal life and issues actually lend a lot to his performance. Vincent is so smooth and charismatic on the surface, but there's something seriously off about him that he can't completely hide - and once you see him for who he really is, that disturbing, menacing feeling he gives you never goes away. He's so perfect in this role that I can't imagine anyone else playing Vincent.
This is what Vincent does for a living he's an expert a professional not to be messed with and his sudden super fast move is a great surprise to the audience and a very bad surprise to the two homies who took his briefcase. A perfect scene.
This movie to me was one of the last really great movies of it's time. After 2004 the movies weren't that great for awhile. I remember thinking about this movie when thinking of good movies that came out from around 1998-2004.
I was a police officer for 24 years and in the military for 20 years active/reserve with the Army/USAF.....his tactics are right on....I was taught the same deflection move and gun draw in a academy I was in where they taught aikido based weaponless defense.......Tom Cruise is one hell of an athlete and took his training seriously...not like the old time BS like they had back in the day with Don Johnson clearing rooms with the hand gun up in the air next to his right ear...
Aikido is bullshit that doesn't work. And deflection won't work 9/10 times because the trigger finger and the bullet is much faster than your entire hand. I highly doubt you served anywhere, especially since you brought up the aikido shit
I still remember seeing this in the theater and at the end this scene I distinctly remember saying out loud "DAMN". Its simple yet so calculated, tactful, and menacing.
Retired from the job 2yrs ago after 22 years and every time I went to the range the instructors would go over this draw from the holster and it was part of qualification that day at the range I never use it but you never knew if you had to.
One of the technical advisors was Michael Gould - who served in the British Army's SAS and has a wealth of knowledge in martial arts - and its clear his training is flawless with Tom Cruise's character Vincent. How I see it, one assesses their environment and neutralises any threats whenever necessary - almost similar in nature to any wild animal hunting for prey and survival.
@@illyal1445 Actors are all weirdos. They pretend to be other people for a living and spend their days off being worshipped like gods. That'd fuck with anyone's head.
Now this is the guy that Neil McCauley needed in his crew instead of that loser Waingro. Michael Mann made sure they both wore the same gray suits. Notice Vincent didn't tell Max, "He was making his move. I had to get it on."
Lesson learnt! never challenge a man who says "Yo homie!" 1st and then "Is that my brief case?" lol one of the best movies Tom has made. Great scene 👍🏼👌
Some of my favorite flicks are Michael Mann projects. He did a great job with Heat too. In the beginning of the cab ride Vincent uses the story of a dead man riding on the local commuter train to illustrate how cold LA is….Michael Mann effectively closes the movie with Vincent’s dead body riding the train. Tom Cruise does a great job as Vincent in this movie.
Action movie stars are generally somewhat trained in martial arts and are almost always fit. You take an action movie star vs the average audience member and the movie star would win most of the time. I would not call that rare.
Hes got it down to a scientology. Yuck yuck yuck yuck. Seriously tho no disrespec to scientology I ain't tryna be gutted like a fish and burned up as an offering to the giant owl demon at bohemian grove or one ah dose eye wide shut parties. Js
Cruise absolutely killed this role. Makes me wonder how good he'd have been as John Wick. I think his speed and being a more aggressive person than Keanu Reeves would have made some of those Wick scenes even more visceral or at least more believable.
Keanu competes in 3 gun competitions and is a very very good marksman. I'm not sure if it translates to the big screen that well because I'm not that familiar with the Wick films .
@@soulerflare7 You make a good point. Unlike this scene which is practically one for one with real life military or law enforcement techniques, John Wick is what you would call "action fantasy"...the idea of one or a handful of men plowing through waves of enemies while looking cool doing it. While 3 gun competition techniques are very real, if you watch the films the writers clearly wanted to use them to make John Wick look like a kung fu hero just using guns instead of fists or a staff. That doesn't make them bad films (quite the contrary I would say), but like many movies you have to suspend your disbelief a little to enjoy them. Thanks for listening. JT Hughes
@@jthughes9820 Exactly, John wick had too much "plot armor" if you will. The tactics in the movie were fine but it wasn't anywhere near realistic. Fun movie but just not enjoyable after awhile. Collateral was actually realistic and not dramatized, I actually really enjoyed the style of this movie.
Fuck that Keanu Reeves was born for John Wick tho I would like to see him face off against Cruise as like a former colleague and friend maybe the one guy who they think could take Wick and wat ch Wick snap his neck bahahahah

I love how loud the gunfire is in Michael Mann movies. Most movies never accurately depict just how deafeningly loud gun fire is.
I had my headphones on and it was too damn loud almost as if I was right there
Yup, so many movies act like guns have built in supressors, very few times do you find a movie where a gun actually sounds like a gun when fired.

It's like he shows Jamie Foxx over and over again that you don't get a second chance with him, but he keeps crossing him anyway until he finally wins.

@@luciocunha928 he even got the kill patterns right. Two shots to the chest, one to the face. That's called a failure drill and we would hang targets and shoot them hundreds of times in that pattern. This movie is very accurate
Why are modern shooters trained like that?
I've seen some behind the scenes stuff; Cruise was instructed by a former SAS guy.
@@TheLakabanzaichrg Center mass aka the Chest area is the easiest target to hit. The headshot after ensures the target is neutralized.
Always feel a very distant connection to this big/global Hollywood scene. Tom was trained by a British SAS CQB member. My old man was a pioneer in this area for this regiment (22 SAS [equivalent Delta Force for the yanks]) in its early years (64-70). So I like to think, at some level he inadvertently played a very minor role in this, however removed.
"Andy Mcnab" Ex SAS was the weapons instructor on an earlier Mann film "Heat" if I recall
I love how he keeps his drawing hand closer to his holster, to have a faster draw.
He literally had his hands in the “I don’t want any problems/surrendering position” 😂
His hand was far from his weapon. He just moved quick and drew fast because he trains a lot. But I get your point.
@@victrixnocte3531 Yeah, it looked like he positioned his left hand at level with the guy's gun, and had his right hand lower and closer to his holster.
Tom Cruise may be out of his goddamn mind but he is a terrific actor.
he's not out of his mind he's pretty sound of mind compared to your other famous Hollywood actors

The sound of the gunshots and how they reverberate through the parking complex to the left is sooo fucking epic. One of my favourite films right here
czcams.com/video/sMG1nlQi5bg/video.html
You do understand that all the sounds are dubbed in later in a studio, right? And that the sacred guns fire blanks? And that shooting people is not something to aspire to?
No, we don´t know that it´s a movie. Thanks for clarifying that.
@@tipoc you didn't read my comment properly lol
@@Crabfather Yeah I did read. I think you did not understand what Arty said.
This scene is an absolute Masterclass on how to do shootout scenes in a movie. One of the best touches? - no music soundtrack.
For me music is the curse of movies. This scene shows how gritty , powerful and realistic you can make a scene without some stupid score playing.
The firearm sounds are great too. No exaggerated deep bass like other movies! Well done!
Shadow on the Sun? There is music played throughout the movie. A soundtrack does work, just has to be done right.
You're partially right. Underscore, when done well, adds immeasurably to the emotional impact of a scene. Of course there are instances where natural sounds alone work best, and this is one such example.
I could watch this a thousand times.
Thats exactly how we were trained to do it in the armed forces. Whats that? What branch was I in? Thats classified. Just know I fought in the clone wars.
That somehow reminds me of Purple Team.
Judging by your user icon I bet you also fought in the Clown Wars

WOOOOOH LADDY
Thankyou for your service sir
Tom Cruise has many good movies but this role is by far his best. Evil, ruthless and brilliant.
Cruise was an absolute gunslinger in this scene. Not over the top and a very realistic gunfight to show trained against untrained.
Former Infantry Marine here , yes two to the chest one to the head is the standard. It is complete muscle memory. He looks as if he's complying as he raises his hands but that just makes it easier to swat the guys gun while simultaneously using his other hand to move his coat tail and grab his pistol. He also shot that guy first because he already had his gun out and was the greater threat, whereas the other guy still had his pistol in his waist band. This was perfectly done. As a legendary assassin he knew exactly how to read the situation and react. Also close in shooting where they are less than 3 feet away this is exactly how you shoot your pistol. Elbow touching his hip, pistol straight toward target not sticking out so other guy can grab it. You do not have to aim when you're that close to your target.
Reminds me of the drills we ran in the kill houses in South Korea, 11B, 2ID, as long as you haven't passed the opposing soldier whose down, go ahead and hit the head with a tap too. I can visualize that experience when I see the kill house scene in Navy Seals, even though they were beyond showing off during that scene lol
Also kept his left hand clear for the initial two shots.
I love that last shot, he doesn’t even look down. Proper ruthless
Reminds me of Anton Chigurh when he blows the guy away in the motel room shower.
Like Tuco said if you’re going to shoot, shoot don’t talk.😂
Nice reference
Tight tight tight!
@@Edinburgh_Bathrooms_Kitchens wrong tuco
To date, probably one of the cleanest draws put to film.
always loved this film and Mann never disappoints!
if you did not know, the coyote in the movie was not scripted it just ran through the set and they filmed it!
it fit the vib of Vincent being a lone Coyote or wolf
Here's what makes it tactical:
1. Weapon Retention - Being able to have positive control of your weapon when your opponent is that close is super important. This is what separates true gunfighters from what you see from guys like this thug doing. The thug had his arm stretched out (weapon presented), closed his distance on Cruise while Cruise was able to divert the muzzle away while simultaneously drawing his firearm.
2. Presentation - Notice that once Cruise manipulated the opponents firearm away from him, Cruise jumps into a "low draw presentation." Basically, seconds matter in a gunfight and if your opponent is that close- you don't need to spend more time aiming, just draw and shoot at the hip because it would be hard to miss at that distance.
3. Follow Through Presentation - Then notice how Cruise follows through from that low draw into an "isosceles presentation." An Isosceles stance at this distance is really for weapon retention. Not really for "aiming," but if Thug 2 wanted to throw hands and go for Cruise's weapon, it would be hard to pry it off of two hands vs if Cruise still had one point of contact (one hand) on his firearm.
There are legit videos of SOC Vet Operators teaching this stuff on CZcams. You'll see these same movements in movies like John Wick.
Speed surprise and the violence of action
Yawn.
@@larryoconnor7094 c'mon he's right
And here's why it's not tactical. The first person he should have shot is the bald guy, not the guy whose gun he has already pushed out of the way. Had the bald guy not been so slow and just jumped around waiting to be shot, Vicent would have got a bullet himself. The long haired guy's gun is already out of the way, Vincent should have hold on to his wrist. For a moment there, he's no longer a threat. The bald guy is the only threat remaining and requires immediate elimination. Put at least one bullet in him and then shoot the long haired guy.
@@joemanner6171 Very true. It's easy to play what ifs in a chaotic scenario such as this one. Regardless, what I love about this scene is that it shows Vincent is the one in control in this confrontation- which for any person with decent gun skills/training, it isn't unlikely to have this confidence.
I'm willing to bet a few coins that the bald guy has zero training in this caliber of gun skills. Which isn't too far off from reality. The average person would scramble to react as they watch their partner in crime have his life card pulled.
Also, when things happen that fast and you're breaking off shots quickly- it can be easy to shoot yourself in the arm/hand.

90's -2000's Tom Cruise was a hell of an actor man, specifically his run from 96-04; crazy amount of range, wish he really continued to take roles like this
One of my favorite movie moments ever because it was SO well done!!!!
This This czcams.com/video/eD5z5Zkcc0s/video.html
I’d forgotten how cool this film is.
Definitely deserves a second viewing😎👍🏻
Great movie! Always thought that it's highly underrated, it's brilliant. Both Fox and Cruise were awesome, I'd love to see Cruise playing more 'Bad guy' roles.
This This czcams.com/video/eD5z5Zkcc0s/video.html
seen this a 100 times and i still love it
Love that he does double tap and “Mozambique’s” the other guy! Also love the club scene where he transitioned from on his back firing, then into crouched/knee position.
It was really a "Box Drill" A Mozambique is against only 1 agressor.
With 2 it's:
2 rounds COM at #1
2 rounds COM and 1 head shot at #2
and 1 head shot at #1.
I’d love to see a Vincent prequel, personally it’s Tom’s best role for me, Vincent seems like a friendly and affable guy but simultaneously he’s also intimidating and scary
czcams.com/video/bLgRLxQCvsU/video.html ...
That's an awesome idea! I'd pay good money to see a Vincent prequel. "Prellateral" lol
@@rickparsent9632 Yeah, thanks for click bait ...
In the prequel he was doing seminars about how to get guys laid and yelling at his dying father.
Yeah, it would be nice seeing him getting ready for his LA Job and finishing a previous job.
First time watching this scene everything just happened so fast, I was like " HOLY SHIT!! " But those few seconds just showed you proper technique, what to do, and especially what not to do. You can break it down and analyze it for hours.
I was a police officer for 24 years and in the military for 20 years active/reserve in the Army/USAF.....his tactics are right on....I was taught the same deflection move and gun draw in a academy I was in where they taught aikido based weaponless defense.......Tom Cruise is one hell of an athlete and took his training seriously...not like the old time BS like they had back in the day with Don Johnson clearing rooms with the hand gun up in the air next to his right ear...
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. if someone already has a gun pointed to your face though isn't it a bad idea to try to deflect like that? Sounds like you will get shot without a doubt
@USAF DIRT BOYZ
I would say his tactics were wrong here. He should have shot the other guy first, he was the one who still had a weapon. in real life, he likely wouldn't have fumbled pulling out his gun like he did in this scene.
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV.

@@Daniel-hs9bj yeah this scene relied on the guy not pulling the trigger on Tom for whatever reason and the other guy fumbling for his weapon. Unrealistic to me
That was one of the coldest quick draws ive ever seen in a movie.
Michael Mann's sound design techniques are one of the subtle reasons he's so good at capturing a mood. The way he let that dramatic ominous tone build, then immediately cut off and go to practical sound for the actual moment of action. That's an excellent use of sound in cinema.
Can’t do a sequel given the end but maybe a prequel to show how he got in the business.
I'd watch it
it wouldvt have cruise so just be one of those lame fake shows like happened with Taken
Every motion was just so clean cut 💯
Edit: Loved the no look headshot 🧠
Gawd I love that scene. I say this under my breath to no one everytime I watch this right before I watch it several more times.
Damn! That gun draw and first few shots was like out of a western. So quick and precise!
All of michael manns movies are great cause the gunshots are so vibrant and real. Feels like your the one getting shot.
Like the buddy set / buddy move shootout heat scene👍👍
Yeah and very acoustically on point
The next 'great' Michael Mann movie will be the first 'great' Michael Mann movie.
@@mja91352 You, my friend, are an idiot.
Michael Mann always has realistic gun handling in his films.
Hearing Tom Cruise say *"Yo, homey!"* just kills me #Legendary 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i love this movie for the intro shots and all b-roll shots. really really like them.
Goddamn when a movie can make a scene both badass and 100% accurate to real life it just skyrockets in quality.
Except only there is no ''blood'' anywhere near any of the two shot; that's not 100% accurate, is it?
@@Morcap
Not everybody can be Tarantino
You can disagree with Tom's personal life but, you have to admit he's really good (one of the best) at the subtleties of conveying actions of human movements thus making his acting more believable.
Tom is probably the most Professional Actor in cinematic history. Nobody has ever been able to push boundaries as consistently and as fluidly. Another way to say it, he's the most Prepared Actor in history. Nobody works harder and nobody takes on more responsibility. He really is a special talent.
I think Cruise's bizarre personal life and issues actually lend a lot to his performance. Vincent is so smooth and charismatic on the surface, but there's something seriously off about him that he can't completely hide - and once you see him for who he really is, that disturbing, menacing feeling he gives you never goes away. He's so perfect in this role that I can't imagine anyone else playing Vincent.
This is what Vincent does for a living he's an expert a professional not to be messed with and his sudden super fast move is a great surprise to the audience and a very bad surprise to the two homies who took his briefcase. A perfect scene.
You're gay
This movie is so underrated,I'm glad that it's been starting to get more recognition.
I absolutely love this movie. A hidden gem.
This movie to me was one of the last really great movies of it's time. After 2004 the movies weren't that great for awhile. I remember thinking about this movie when thinking of good movies that came out from around 1998-2004.
I was a police officer for 24 years and in the military for 20 years active/reserve with the Army/USAF.....his tactics are right on....I was taught the same deflection move and gun draw in a academy I was in where they taught aikido based weaponless defense.......Tom Cruise is one hell of an athlete and took his training seriously...not like the old time BS like they had back in the day with Don Johnson clearing rooms with the hand gun up in the air next to his right ear...
Aikido is bullshit that doesn't work. And deflection won't work 9/10 times because the trigger finger and the bullet is much faster than your entire hand. I highly doubt you served anywhere, especially since you brought up the aikido shit
@@US_ARMY_25_INF._DIV. that's what I thought

I concur my Dad was LAPD firearms instructor he sent me this video ✅
I love the HK USP that the prop guys picked out for Tom Cruise. It's a badass handgun.
Tom insisted on full-load blanks aswell. Really pays off.

-H&K
I still remember seeing this in the theater and at the end this scene I distinctly remember saying out loud "DAMN". Its simple yet so calculated, tactful, and menacing.
Retired from the job 2yrs ago after 22 years and every time I went to the range the instructors would go over this draw from the holster and it was part of qualification that day at the range I never use it but you never knew if you had to.
One of the technical advisors was Michael Gould - who served in the British Army's SAS and has a wealth of knowledge in martial arts - and its clear his training is flawless with Tom Cruise's character Vincent.
How I see it, one assesses their environment and neutralises any threats whenever necessary - almost similar in nature to any wild animal hunting for prey and survival.
I want Michael Mann to direct my biopic.
Everyone wants to live a life worthy of a Michael Mann biopic.
One of the few movies that actually tried to show you just how loud guns are. Love it so much.
One of the best movies ever made!!
The performance of Tom Cruise was breathtaking!!
If you think this is one of the best movies ever made, you need to see many more movies!
The sound design is also on point. Love it.
That shot at 0:01 is amazing.
I could watch this scene over and over again
I had forgotten what a good movie this was!
Ikr me too
I think this is one of Cruises' most underrated films.
SUCH AN ICONIC SCENE.
Its films like these that make you realise how good Tom is.
no one in movies could have done this part up to par with CRUISE,he might be a goofball off set,but he is amazing when the camera is rolling
Just like his producer role in Tropic Thunder. Dude can get ridiculously intense and still be hilarious.
He might be a weird guy but he has total dedication to his craft that you see on screen whenever he does an action role
@@illyal1445 i agree i watch a lot of his movies,he's on cue
@@illyal1445 Actors are all weirdos. They pretend to be other people for a living and spend their days off being worshipped like gods. That'd fuck with anyone's head.
Well…Cruise certainly is an accomplished, dedicated actor. You forgot Keanu Reeves though. Both put 110% effort in their craft.
Now this is the guy that Neil McCauley needed in his crew instead of that loser Waingro. Michael Mann made sure they both wore the same gray suits. Notice Vincent didn't tell Max, "He was making his move. I had to get it on."
I hope you have watched Thief by Mann with James Cann.....it was even better then Heat....arguably the best cop/bad guy movie ever made....
Well spaced & placed Compressor microphone recordings of actual handgun Fire in an alley. Michael Mann at his best.
Brilliant film, Cruise is also surprisingly believable! Fox is amazing as always!
I keep waiting for this scene to get old… now, I’m just old.
Is it wrong that I have watched this over 100 times in the years since it came out and I still enjoy it?
Lesson learnt! never challenge a man who says "Yo homie!" 1st and then "Is that my brief case?" lol one of the best movies Tom has made. Great scene 👍🏼👌
Yo homie...
@@upandonward 100% true
This scene is a cinematography and audio engineering masterpiece.
That quickdraw was the best. Those guys had zero chance
This scene is awesome. "Taking out the garbage" is what I like to call it.
oh so fkn smooth!!! love the coup de grace as he walks away... brutal!!
Some of my favorite flicks are Michael Mann projects. He did a great job with Heat too. In the beginning of the cab ride Vincent uses the story of a dead man riding on the local commuter train to illustrate how cold LA is….Michael Mann effectively closes the movie with Vincent’s dead body riding the train. Tom Cruise does a great job as Vincent in this movie.
That scene is perfection
Tom Cruise is one of those rare action movie stars who could kick your ass in real life.
@@mikepawntee2425 🤣🤣
Action movie stars are generally somewhat trained in martial arts and are almost always fit. You take an action movie star vs the average audience member and the movie star would win most of the time. I would not call that rare.

I love the way he turns to walk back and just casually shoots the guy again. You can tell who practiced the most.
Beautiful
Cruise absolutely killed this role. Makes me wonder how good he'd have been as John Wick. I think his speed and being a more aggressive person than Keanu Reeves would have made some of those Wick scenes even more visceral or at least more believable.
Cruise is believable in this role. As much as I enjoy the Wick movies they make him invulnerable...and I never got why an assassin would wear a tie
Keanu competes in 3 gun competitions and is a very very good marksman. I'm not sure if it translates to the big screen that well because I'm not that familiar with the Wick films .
@@soulerflare7 You make a good point. Unlike this scene which is practically one for one with real life military or law
enforcement techniques, John Wick is what you would call "action fantasy"...the idea of one or a handful of men
plowing through waves of enemies while looking cool doing it. While 3 gun competition techniques are very real,
if you watch the films the writers clearly wanted to use them to make John Wick look like a kung fu hero just
using guns instead of fists or a staff. That doesn't make them bad films (quite the contrary I would say), but like
many movies you have to suspend your disbelief a little to enjoy them.
Thanks for listening. JT Hughes
@@jthughes9820 Exactly, John wick had too much "plot armor" if you will. The tactics in the movie were fine but it wasn't anywhere near realistic. Fun movie but just not enjoyable after awhile. Collateral was actually realistic and not dramatized, I actually really enjoyed the style of this movie.
Fuck that Keanu Reeves was born for John Wick tho I would like to see him face off against Cruise as like a former colleague and friend maybe the one guy who they think could take Wick and wat ch Wick snap his neck bahahahah
