dudes: let's write stuff abt MIAMI VICE, the TV show

Nice, I just watched the s3 episode in that still, where they were undercover as streetwalkers.

Have to admit, seeing the “Big Booty Trudy” sign always makes me lol.

Which still are you referring to?

The one where Gina is leaning on a car with her butt out and Trudy is standing beside her. It’s in black & white.

Scroll down from the album cover

That’s from season 2

Oh OK sorry. I’m watching all the episodes in order now and must’ve got that mixed up

“Listen pal, get your seasons straight!” lol

I’m hearing that in a Don Johnson voice

There are definitely some ridiculous hardman lines in this show. I should be writing them down. From the Glades episode, the one that's been rolling over in my mind is "Maybe you won't even twitch."

having just watched The Glades, i figured this was the line that Mann repurposed and expanded on for Gina in the Miami Vice film.

Crockett and Tubbs really gotta be more careful i.e. their casually mentioning how they're looking for that specific guy to be their "guide" and immediately a couple of unfriendly shitkickers volunteer to drive them out into the deep swamp and they accept.

exactly

I can’t believe they left the Ferrari with those dudes

The fake Ferrari or the real Ferrari?

The fake black one

who are these dudes you speak of

the sketchy redneck guys in "The Glades"

The last episode I watched Tubbs was on the phone and said "It's Tubbs - Tough, Unique, Bad, Bold, and Sassy"

love this show

“Sincerely, L. Cohen”

so the end of season 2...not sure if it's bad writing or I missed something. baffled by the 'I'll be back' note Tubbs receives at the funeral. Who could have written this? Calderon's son was killed in the shack explosion...right? The episode doesn't confirm this either way so I guess it must be him. And the baby - when Calderon is tying his sister down in the car, he says 'take the baby back to the main house' to one of his goons. So the baby is presumably still alive, and I guess it was an empty baby casket at the funeral? Anyway I love the focus on Tubbs in the last episode. Really felt like he took a back seat for most of season 2.

First ep of S3 … haircuts, darker clothes, and new car (without explanation)… Crockett losing control at the end in the back seat of the limo

Calderon's son was killed in the shack explosion...right?

dusting off memories on this one, and I'm pretty sure i had exactly the same reaction. You have to wait ...

S3 though, gawd.

Ep 5 is amazing tho

Nope, not that one. Ep11

and Ep22 is something else

xps Are you sure that's the first ep because the black Ferrari was destroyed by a Stinger missile in S3 ep1 and then in the next episode it's kind of covertly suggested that the new white Ferrari was repossessed from the principal in The Breakfast Club who had appeared in s3 ep1 (and repainted).

The shift in the color palette is quite striking, you suddenly see yellows and greens and lots of neon blue.

I was in love with that white Ferrari

Damn my eps are out of order. I watched ep5 ffs

“Let’s go back to the boat. I won’t be a bother…”

Joe Dallessandro, S3 ep 13. Amazing. Shoulda been a regular.

ah he was in MV twice, he was a henchman in season 1 for Lombard.

I told my wife two upcoming guest stars were some of my favorite musicians of all time (Miles, Willie Nelson) and she guessed Bob Dylan, Geddy Lee, and Jimi Hendrix (lol) and now I want to see those episodes.

Just read an interview with Michael Mann where he said his favorite Vice guest star was Miles Davis

A pensive moment

I remember that apartment and thinking, how cute, I could live there. So Floridian.

Yeah GTA Vice City did a grand job of replicating that style, would be nice if the new one could repeat that.

Bob Balaban
Patti D'Arbanville
G. Gordon Liddy
Iman

Totally

I’m almost done with season 3 and in the last week have seen benecio del toro and Ian Shane
