Heat Movie Trivia
Some theaters made the audiences sign "fright release waivers" in case they had heart attacks from seeing the movie's terrifying monster.
In Al Pacino's "GREAT ASS!" scene, Hank Azaria's surprise is genuine. According to Azaria, Michael Mann "shoots like a million takes, I think Pacino got bored and yelled GREAT ASS out of frustration, which scared the hell out of me. Not acting at all, he just actually terrified me"
Robert De Niro says to Al Pacino 'Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner'.
Val Kilmer broke his arm while filming The Doors (1991) when he performed a jump from the stage into the crowd and the stuntman failed to catch him. The injury has left Kilmer with an abnormal growth on his left elbow that can clearly be seen many times in Heat (1995).
