“I don’t know if this has gotten out much. I might be breaking the law now, but I’ll say it. The character I played is a guy who’s been around, he’s done a lot of stuff, and he also chips cocaine. And I always thought that was a choice we made, but yet not showing it because it would be somewhat…”

found this from an MTV interview in 2007:
"I was in a movie once, which will go nameless, and I did a certain thing in this movie: I based my entire character on a scene of me snorting cocaine," he continued. "And no, this isn't 'Scarface.' There was just one little scene of me chipping cocaine, so that's what I did. Well, they cut that scene out of the picture. They had their reasons for it, legitimate reasons I'm sure. But what happened is I based my character on the fact that he chipped cocaine, so my interpretation — my reactions to things — were colored by that. It's like, 'What's that guy so nervous about?' It would be the same as watching 'The Godfather' and never knowing about the gun in the toilet. I assume everybody knows that scene."

they could just dub in some loud sniffs whenever they cut to another person in a conversation scene and pacino is offscreen. or after the line "...GREAT ASS!," just have pacino loop an additional line, "is sound like this because i'm SNORTING COCAINE, see?" when they cut to his partner.

probably mentioned upthread, but according to Pacino his character was a cokehead and that informed his performance but Mann cut out all direct references to that.

After sitting through the moderated conversation in Paris, Faïd got his hands on a microphone during the audience Q&A. Faïd had recently been released from prison—where he served 10 years for assorted armed robberies and jewel heists—and explained as much to the filmmaker (and audience).“Heat remains the absolute example of organized crime, inspired by life, by people—real facts—he tries to transmit them in his cinema,” Faïd began (via translation). “I personally, I am a former gangster, unfortunately, I do not brag about it. I just spent 10 years in prison. I attacked armored vans. . . . For 20 years, I’ve known Michael Mann. I discovered him with Thief, and, with a bunch of friends, we’ve watched his films a bit as reports, as documentaries, and sometimes even . . . ”Faïd, starstruck as he was, stumbled a bit before regaining his focus.“Recently, journalists asked me, ‘You know, you had a big criminal career, and you did it yourself, you’re self-taught.’ I told them, ‘No, I had a technical adviser, a college teacher, a kind of mentor, and his name is Michael Mann.’”

have we discussed how the script gave pacino's character a coke habit, which explains all the manic energy and overripe line readings, but mann took that motif out in the edit?
IMO dialogue is central to few of the best moments from this movie.

So here's a thing
https://fxrant.blogspot.com/2023/01/heat-alternate-edit-of-coffee-shop-scene.html
Fellow "Heat" (1995) fans - I just found an amazing Easter Egg on the Blu-ray. It's an early edit of the infamous Pacino/De Niro coffee shop scene, created early in the film's production when director Michael Mann wanted the scene to be shorter and have a lot less dialogue. It's much moodier and more threatening than the final version, if you ask me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JllQtCEkhpA
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 23 January 2023 16:36 (one year ago) link
lol I thought that was silly, almost like a fan-edit gag. What I appreciate in the original/film is the familiar Mann motif of men so wed to their professions that it encompasses their life at the cost of everything around them. The characters are fully aware of the price they are paying but are compelled, even doomed to their respective pursuits all the same. I didn't find either cut particularly menacing or threatening. If anything I love how mundane it is, underscored by Hanna's line "We're sitting here like a coupla regular fellas," even though both understand they are anything but.

Watched this last night, I hadn't seen it since it first came out and my wife had never seen it. When it was over, she said, "If I had known this was the greatest movie ever made, I would have watched it a long time ago." She's now trying to figure out how to see it on a big screen, up to possibly renting out our local indie theater just for that purpose.

I'd have to revisit Thief again, but otherwise Heat is probably the one Michael Mann film I'd watch and enjoy again. It's the quintessential Mann film, for better and worse. It's great how even a minor character like Haysbert can feel so tragic, but the film's also marred by things like "I've got three dead bodies on a sidewalk off Venice boulevard, Justine, I'm sorry if the goddamn chicken got overcooked."
