Talk:L.A. Takedown

I want to see this movie again. It's been 21 flipping years!

I remeber when this movie aired on television. It was a Sunday night and the next day was the first day of the 1989 fall semester at Boise State. The start of my senior year. I wasn't really paying attention until the bank robbery sequence and then it had my attention. Even though I know it was only made for a fraction of the budget that Heat had I would like to see it again anyway. I remember being very impressed with it at the time. --Jcordell 01:36, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

At one point, somebody had it all on YouTube. It's since been taken down. But some other guy has a whole bunch of clips from the movie: http://www.youtube.com/user/BunkerFox

McCauley's 1911

This page is highly incomplete. Can anyone tell me what type of 1911 McCauley used in this movie? (I also think it's ironic that Hanna uses a SIG 226 here, which means that this is a reverse of Heat, where McCauley used a SIG and Hanna carried a 1911 variant). -MT2008 04:53, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Did he only carry it in the hotel? During the armored truck heist, it looked like McCauley carried a S&W 659, while Waingro carried a 1911. It was either nickel or stainless from what I could tell, probably the same prop. Also Xander's acting has come a long way. I think it was an 870 sawed-off field gun Waingro used in the end. Maybe Ben will do some more caps.--Predator20 05:28, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

lack of realism?

I saw LA Takedown after I watched Heat and it looked like a home movie made by some fans. It also lacked the realism seen in Colateral and Miami Vice. It wasn't bad for a TV Movie, I guess it Michael Mann didn't have the resources at the time to hire Weapons Trainers for the Movie.
