Actually a good film (albeit sorta a chick flick), genuinely funny and Goldie is pretty hot. I do think Russell was sort of showing off considering Hawn was actually his wife.
A 1980's TV movie called "LA Takedown" was the template for the later "Heat". In fact, some of the dialog was line-for line.
Going to the movies in the late 70's /80's can't recall any of the outstanding films, mostly mindless entertainment. Mostly just for fun and good times with friends.
