Heat's also one of the only movies where good and bad guys handled their
weapons like they knew what they're doing.

    -One of my favorite movies, Thief, by Michael Mann, starring
    -James Caan,
    -shows the robbers using an oxygen lance to cut open a safe. A scene he
    -used again in Heat. Michael Mann is the only filmmaker I have
    -ever seen
    -whose crooks use real tools- in Heat, they use a big Milwaukee mag
    -drill to drill out a platinum dealers safe, as well as the oxygen
    -lance. In Thief, there is a great scene where James Caan uses a
    -portable scuba air tank to power an air shear to cut open a piece of
    -emt, and then mess with the wiring within. As realistic as any movie I
    -have ever seen- usually they either shoot the locks off, or somehow
    -magically blow everything open with C-4, or else mysteriously use
    -Powerpoint to disable alarms systems, satellites, and nuclear weapons
    -control systems.
