*HISTORICAL INFORMATION: City Heat is a 1984 American buddy-crime comedy film starring Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds, written by Blake Edwards and directed by Richard Benjamin. The film was released in North America in December 1984.
The pairing of Eastwood and Reynolds was expected to be a major box-office hit, but the film earned a disappointing $38.3 million against a $25 million budget, making it a net money loser after production, promotion and distribution costs.
Edwards originally was attached to direct, but he was fired during pre-production and replaced with Richard Benjamin. Edwards retained co-writing credit under the pseudonym Sam O. Brown, the initials of which are S.O.B., a reference to his earlier film in which Julie Andrews acted.
Reynolds later recalled:
If you could just release the announcement for City Heat and not have to look at the film, it\'d be the most successful picture I\'d ever been in. Blake laid out his way for Clint to play his part. To me, it was clearly apparent that Blake\'s way was in no way how Clint saw the part. Clint didn\'t say anything except his Gary Cooper comments like \"Yup\" and \"Nope.\" Clint and I went home in his truck, and he still didn\'t say anything until we were halfway there. Finally he said \"I guess this won\'t be the film we do together.\" I said \"I didn\'t think so.\" Warner Bros. really wanted to make the film. I think they thought like I did that it would be one of those pictures which would look great in the catalogue...Clint likes a director he gets along with, which makes a lot of sense to me...Blake\'s dismissal hurt him badly. I don\'t think he\'s ever gotten over it.Eastwood was cast as the lead and received a salary of $4 million.
