Everything on this show was hyped. I remember this episode but somehow over the years the race doesn't seem as impressive now. But it was a great idea back in 1986.
The movie is in my personal top 5
as a pure exercise in cinema, it just moves. Breakneck pace almost. It's an exercise in almost pure style. There's some obvious flaws, that all Mann's movies post 2004 have, script has some bad lines, but other than a funny accent from Farrell, or a bad line from Gong Li, there's not really that much there to hate. He switches the deep character development for shorthand nods and knowing looks.
it's maybe the most gorgeously shot movie I have ever seen.

Mann's one of my favorite Director's. Heat's my all time favorite movie. I just for whatever reason never bought the Miami Vice DVD so I don't re-visit it enough. Looks like it's currently on Starz. So I'll fire it up this weekend. to watch.
