best shootout ever?

[dave_rhino]

which was based on real events! ---> I was gonna say the LA bank robbery shootout that left both criminals dead and a couple wounded police officers. But you said no real life examples so...I'm at a loss...

Based loosely on real events. The actual shootout took place outside a grocery store, so I don't think it counts.

I am sorry; I forgot that allot of what we watch on TV and in the movies actually is a reinactment of real life events; lets say no shootout that was taped shot entirely of the original incident! examples; columbine; v.tech. etc..
as long as it was a staged re-enactment of the original event; sorry I forgot to clarify between re-enactment and the actual crime.. sorry legzman; and anybody else who was confused by the original regulations of the first message.. feel free to chime in; if you think of any others.. :hatsoff:

Definitely the shootout in Heat.

And with regards to the real shootout that occurred in LA -- It was actually a "copy-cat" of the film taking place AFTER the movie was released. So rather than the film being loosely based on real events, real event were loosely based on the film...or at least compared to it by the media.

Like I said, the film was based on events that took place outside a grocery store.

Much of the film is based off a real-life confrontation between Chicago cop Chuck Adamson and the REAL Neil McCauley. Adamson was a retired police officer whom director Michael Mann had been working with off and on since the film Thief (1981) starring James Caan (and based upon the career of famed Chicago burglar Frank Hohimer whom Adamson had arrested). They had later worked together on two shows produced by Mann, "Miami Vice" and "Crime Story". According to Chuck Adamson (and confirmed by Michael Mann) in the Heat-Special Edition DVD Documentary "Crime Stories", McCauley was a professional robber whom he had frequently crossed paths with. Events such as the scene between Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley in the coffee shop where they basically tell each other that the last time they meet will be their last, and the warehouse sting where McCauley got tipped off that the cops were around due to an officer making a noise really happened. In real life, the real Neil McCauley was killed during a robbery of a grocery store (similar to the bank heist shootout) by Adamson's team who were tipped off to the robbery.

The scene in the new Rambo flick where he hops on the .50 cal and just opens up!!!

Blood and body parts go everywhere!!!!!!!

I like the shootout in Last Man Standing myself. I also like the one in Commando where he has about ten million people shooting at him and they can't hit him just because it's so cheesy it's funny yet it was never meant to be comedic.

I've also come to learn as far as movies go the more realistic a shootout is the worse it usually comes out.

I hate those unrealistic shootouts where its one guy against 30 with full auto's and never gets hit?? its not funny at all; its so fake its a waste of film!! :dunno:

(Sorry, no offense, but I found that statement hilarious.)

I know most of you will think this shootout doesn't even compete in the top 100 of all time; you may say its great and recognize it as a great shootout; I don't know; but to me it was a great watch because I am ADDICTED TO THE SHOW!! I keep watching it over and over again!! and aside from the shootout; I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT SONG thats being played before they engage the enemy.. so I present a secondary question; does anybody have or know who it is thats performing that exact version of the song playing in the begining?? if so could you share the artist name and title of the track?? thanx I would really appreciate any help with that.. without further delay (at the moment) here is what I think is a (GREAT SHOOTOUT) thats got me mesmerized at the present time..

I hope you all appreciate and enjoy this clip as much as I do!! if not I apologize for hyping it up.. but I love it so I wanted to share it with all of you that appreciate a great shootout!! :dunno::hatsoff::bowdown:

ok, OK!
it was awesome, no doubt.

for you people who don't know what we're talking about, here is the complete 7-minute shootout:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jba6ht3-wyI

This scene has gone down in film history for a reason: three well-armed men keep virtually ALL of the LAPD pinned down for most of the set piece with only a semi-automatic each. This scene demonstrates filly, I think, how effective a simple military defensive positive like cover-and-run, cover-and-run (I cannot remember what the proper military term is) can be.

That said, the BEST EVER is the ending to the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
