| Trivia | Heat (1995) had 6 months of pre-production, and a 117 day shooting schedule. L.A. Takedown (1989) had 10 days of pre-production, and a 19 day shooting schedule. Michael Mann said that comparing one film to the other is like comparing "freeze dried coffee" to "Jamaican Blue Mountain". See more » |
| Goofs | In the exterior, after the bar scene when Hanna is following Lillian on the sidewalk, the boom mic shadow is frequently seen chasing above/behind the quarreling actors. See more » |
