BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Bezenby Oof! Check out the norks on this crapfest! This early PM film suffers from some of the worst editing I've ever laid my eyes on…which of course just adds to the enjoyment.Some cop guy who dreams he's a cowboy is after a drug dealer who just loves killing cops. This dealer guy then gets kidnapped by another guy while the mafia are trying to waste everyone involved in the drug deal as dead cops are bad news. Meanwhile, back at the cop shop, big Jim Brown is on the cop's case due to the aforementioned dead cops (mostly this guy's partners), and there's some business about the guy's wife and maybe kids. I can't remember even though I just watched it last night. What will really grab your attention is how half-arsed this film is. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of second takes. The story kind of lurches along, and the cowboy thing is just another layer in the crap-cake this film is. The best bit is either that terrible editing (people starting lines in one shot only to start them again in another), or the constant shouts of 'cut' and stage direction from the man in charge. I'm no editor by trade by I have edited short films together – it's not hard to cut out that stuff or even add on a new audio channel. Weird man. This is one of those truly bad films that litter the late eighties and early nineties, and there's loads of them about! Fearless Tiger! Shotgun! Anything Godfrey Ho made!

Wizard-8 In 1989 to 1990, Lawrence Hiton-Jacobs starred in three movies as detective Jon Chance: CHANCE, L.A. VICE, and L.A. HEAT. All three of these movies were also early efforts by the studio PM Entertainment. If you've seen any of the other Jon Chance movies - or any PM Entertainment movies made during this same period - I think you'll have a good idea what to expect with this movie. The production values are unbelievably low - it looks like they shot on videotape and transferred it to film. A lot of dialogue was obviously looped in post-production. The script and direction are awful; scenes end abruptly before the viewers get all the information they need, the dream sequences are goofy in nature, and for the longest time the story comes to a complete halt and the characters do nothing important at all. There is an occasional chuckle from the utter lameness, but for the most part the movie is painful to watch. If you do decide to watch the movie, beware of the DVD - the DVD manufacturer used a TV print of the movie, which not only results with all the foul language being bleeped out, but with some video glitches. Obviously, quality control was not a high priority for the DVD manufacturer, though seeing the movie one can understand why.

petesmith44 I saw this movie on one of the cable channels today...don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of 80's culture and movies. But this was absolutely the most horrid, cheesy, poorly acted, disgrace of a film I have ever witnessed. As I watched it, I felt myself cringing at almost every aspect of the film.Every actor looked as though they had no experience. The sets were cheesy. The music was awful.If I could have rated it a "0", I would have. Just terrible.There is a reason that you have seen almost no one from this film in anything of consequence...it is because having taken part in it probably stained their career forever. If you are ever bored and find yourself entered in a "Find the worst film ever made" contest, do yourself a favor and check this one out. You will not be disappointed in its failures.

spike2003 There are so many classic cinematic moments in LA Heat, too many to choose from (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!). For instance the titanic chase scene; a scene, it seems, that was too big even for Hollywood (that could explain why they run round the same block three times, passing the clearly signposted shops as they go, lets just say a certain restaurant got a LOT of free publicity THAT day!). Another great thing about this movie is how it was shot in a way which negated the need for a director's commentary afterwards, genius! The director's voice is clearly audible during a lot of the actual film, giving direction to the cast, or simply passing judgement on their sterling work on set. Who needs DVDs now?! And of course, hats off to the editor for the movie, who felt it necessary to leave in all the said director's requests of the cast as well as sometimes, just having the characters repeat the same line twice in "voice over" format, just to give a scene that certain edge. The "home video" scenes too were stunning. By this i mean the scenes where, to give the film a gritty, real LA feel, they haven't just gone on location, oh no, they've gone on location on an open street, full of onlookers who take every opportunity they get to wave at the cameras. This 'fly-on-the wall' style of film making was something relatively new at the time of shooting, making LA Heat a real rule breaker and trend setter in cinema history.In conclusion, I would recommend this film to anyone lucky enough to get the opportunity to see it. Viewing it has had a deep impact on my life, changing my whole outlook on the world. Thank you to everyone involved in its production. If i'm one day lucky enough to be blessed with children and I have a boy and a girl, I'll name them Jon and Chance.
