There's a film with James Caan and Jim Belushi called Thief, Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack to it. Great film, made by Michael Mann, who made Miami Vice back in the 80's
Michael Mann also did Heat, with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Val Kilmer. That's another great film with an excellent soundtrack, not TD in this one unfortunately
Going through the vids of TD on Youtube as we speak ... I like the sound of the Live at Loreley 2008 one so far ... (a more recent gig for me to listen to for a change)
Heat is one I watch a few times a year. That shootout during the bank robbery was actually shown to US Marine recruits to show them how to retreat under fire.
The actors were given weapons training and tactics training by a couple of blokes from the SAS. Plus, when they recorded the sound Michael Mann had microphones placed all round the set to capture the sound live, instead of dubbed later. That's why it sounds so real compared to shootouts in other films. Little things like that make a good film into a great film, his attention to detail is immense. Hence asking the SAS for their help
That's probably the best shootout in a film I've ever seen, it's so realistic and shot so well. Pun intended
Free Man...Point Blank(a long ignored band,stomping Southern Rock,alas defunct now,but well worth investigating, oiriginally on Lone Wolf Productions with ZZTop's Producer , Bill Ham )
