Steve ProkopyGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Nick DigilioHOST
Particularly Walter Hill, um, and like Peckinpah, and there's a little bit of, uh, Friedkin in this.
Nick DigilioHOST
Um-
Steve ProkopyGUEST
Mm-hmm
MattHOST
It's because it's in David, the musical.
MattHOST
She also says she's read 50 pages of a script developed by a franchise veteran, Walter Hill, which she called extraordinary.
MattHOST
Now, you know, when an actor that's involved in a production says something's good, then it must mean that it's good.
MichelleGUEST
Guaranteed.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
But also, perhaps most memorably about that job, Last Man Standing.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
And there were a lot of memorable things because that's Walter Hill and he's a great creative force.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
Yeah.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
But the stunt where I die, that was my stunt double, Dave Rowden, and he went out that door, and it was a complete... cock up because they forgot they forgot to calculate the steps which made it three feet higher than where uh he was supposed to launch from so they had dug a a softened place in the middle of the street where he's supposed to land because they put what's called a ratchet on you and it's a harness that's connected to a pneumatic uh a pneumatic um pump, if you will, and you just get launched very violently out backwards.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
But one day...
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
Arthur Sarkissian, the producer, who's still a friend, he did Rush Hour and all this other stuff.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
He and Walter and I are sitting on a porch and Bruce Willis walks up and he goes, hey, why don't we call it Welcome to Jericho instead of Gundown? Well, I was a young actor and Walter Hill is your major star.
Patrick KilpatrickGUEST
Like your financing goes away for the movie if you offend this person.

Brandon BombayHOST
Anyways, to keep it not two hours and 45 minutes to move on to the next one.
Brandon BombayHOST
My next rec is Johnny handsome, 1989. starring Mickey Rourke, directed by the great genre king, Walter Hill.
Brandon BombayHOST
And I'm choosing this because, well, it's...
Brandon BombayHOST
It's Cruz's character in reverse.
Brandon BombayHOST
I like that movie.
Brandon BombayHOST
But
Andy SHOST
I like that era of Walter Hill and I like that era of...
Andy SHOST

ChadHOST
Goddamn felons always ruining shit.
ChadHOST
So Refn also said that he was inspired by several films, Point Blank from 67, Tulane Blacktop from 71, The Driver from 78 from Walter Hill, and Michael Mann's Thief from 81.
ChadHOST
And he said Jean-Pierre Melville's crime productions influenced the cinematography.
ChadHOST
Dude, this movie looks like he wanted to replicate Thief
Corey StevensonHOST
And I think that that's going to be a big factor, kind of like remember how Dean Cundy was a big factor for Carpenter.
Zach SchaeferHOST
I mean, I was just talking to Rob Ryder, who was in the Warriors and Southern Comfort, and we were talking about the editor that Walter Hill uses.
Zach SchaeferHOST
and how the editing for the warriors is so spot on.
Zach SchaeferHOST
And that, that was a guy that worked with Walter Hill for several movies, same idea, like these,
Corey StevensonHOST
the,
Zach SchaeferHOST
the editor of the cinematographer, like when these guys really click with the director, that's what makes the movie.
Aaron SousaHOST
And he wrote a 180 page draft.
Aaron SousaHOST
for Heat after making Thief in 81 he rewrote it hoping to find a director to make it he wasn't actually going to direct it couldn't really find much so in the late 80s he offered the film to his friend Walter Hill who turned him down And then after the success of Miami Vice and Crime Story, NBC hired him to produce a new crime television show.
Aaron SousaHOST
So he took the script for Heat that he had been working on and turned it into a 90-minute pilot for a TV series featuring the LAPD, which had Scott Plank in the role of Vincent Hanna and Alex MacArthur playing Neil McCauley, who was renamed to Patrick McLaren for the TV show.
Aaron SousaHOST
The pilot was shot in 19 days, and the script was shortened to almost a third of its original length.
