You’re the Best, Around “Wax on, Wax off” (Karate Kid 1984). “Put the Jacket on, now take it off, hang it up.” (Karate Kid 2010). Both of these movies introduce an underdog, new to his environment.

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Robert De Niro’s famous line playing the criminal Niel McCauley sets the tone for Michel Mann’s Heat.

The combination of the two is what makes the film a crime drama (even though Michael Mann argues that it doesn’t belong to a genre).
