Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joseph Merhi and Richard Pepin were PM Entertainment kings, producing direct-to-video action films with budgets that went almost entirely to pyrotechnics.
L.A. Heat arrived at the tail end of the 'loose cannon cop' era, just as The Shield and The Wire were about to make police procedurals morally complicated. It is a glorious time capsule of simpler times.
