City Heat is the title of a 1984 action-comedy starring Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds.
City Heat was released in North America in December 1984. The pairing of Eastwood and Reynolds in a Prohibition-era action-comedy seemed to give the movie the potential to be a hit. Unfortunately, the movie bombed, taking in only $38,300,000 at the box office. Making the movie as an action film without any comedy at all may have helped it to be a bigger hit.
Controversy over Reynolds's health started when he was hit in the face with a metal chair during the filming of a fight scene. His jaw was broken and he was restricted to a liquid diet, causing him to lose over 30 pounds by the time filming wrapped. His condition made headlines in the tabloids, who suspected he had AIDS.
Kansas City in the 1930s: Private investigator Mike Murphy's partner is brutally slayed, when he tries to blackmail a mobster with his secret accounting records. Lieutenant Speer and his ex-colleague Mike Murphy team up again to fight the mob, although they can't stand each other: while Speer is taciturn, Murphy is a prattler. Written by Tom Zoerner
