I love Heat but this plot hole has always bugged me.

Yeah. Me too. For a movie with so much realism this always takes me out. He's been under surveillance for days. No way the cops wouldn't have a picture of him.

plot hole? spoonfeed my face please

Yeah, sure, but it brings the feels, which is what really matters.

What pothole?

Val Kilmer shows up to his wife's house after robbing bank earlier in the day not knowing there are cops there waiting for him. His wife gives him a signal to leave but on the way the cops stop him. He gives them a phony ID and they let him go even though they should all know what he looks like and the only way he disguised himself was by cutting his hair.

The police didn't see him. They were not going to reveal themselves and spook who could potentially be their guy.
The beat cops wouldn't know who he is, and he shown a drivers licence. Simple.

Maybe the dumb rookie cop fucked it up. It's not like the detectives stopped him.

he's obviously not wearing his wig.
did they think we wouldn't notice?

Why didn't they though? One of the cops who was in a shootout with Val is up in the apartment. Why the fuck didn't he go down and check?

It was an older LAPD SWAT guy. Those guys aren't just rookies anyway.
