THE BEST SCENE IN MIAMI VICE

I just finished binge watching all 5 seasons of Miami Vice. WHAT A SHOW. No idea what I've been missing. I made my own list of the top "obscure" episodes of Miami Vice: lopezvideo.net/blog/12/16/2017
But there's one episode that didn't make it on the list...
A Bullet for Crockett. The reason is simple: it's the 2nd worse episode in the entire show (the winner goes to "Leap of Faith"). But that INTRO scene - holy shit!
That intro scene is my #1 favorite scene in the entire season. It's got tension, fate, sex, life, death, pop, urban, nothing, everything, PERFECT! This is how you cinema.
PS: This show is universally iconic for its use of Phil Collins's "In The Air Tonight" in its pilot episode "Brother's Keeper" (Season 01 Episode 01). But what most people don't know is that the song is used for a second time in the series... In this episode, in this scene. And in my opinion, THIS is the defining / iconic use of the song... Not the pseudo-romantic fragment-poem bullshit they tried to pull off in the first episode, which caught on for some reason (I guess people really love shots of cars driving at night in a neon-glowing city...)
Enjoy.

Every scene from Miami Vice was the best scene from Miami Vice.
-
The 80's TV taught me that large sums of money can only be transported in an aluminum brief case.
-
Unless you lived in Miami you cant understand how realistic the show was. Colombians, Cubans, and Jamaicans at war in the streets mixed with nice cars, models, and parties.
-
Being old enough to remember at 11 year's old sneaking, downstairs to watch it on our new color RCA TV. Good Times🙏🏾♥️
-
I miss the 80s so much! It sucks getting old.
-
I can tell you that as a life long miami resident, in the air tonight is actually our city theme song.
-
The 80s and Miami Friday night vice, great memories
-
Watching this makes me realize how old I am and how times have changed so much. By far this is one of the best tv shows ever it had it all . Dont think no other cop show will ever duplicate.
-
One thing which can be said about Don Johnson is he's a true professional. Many actors who starred in a series eventually grew tired of the role and their performance showed that they wanted out. As Miami Vice neared its end, the press turned against the show and viewership dropped but Johnson never walked through an episode, he gave his everything to each scene he was in and it showed. Its admirable and impressive.

This show is the 80s. The fashions, music, cars, big hair. I also think Crockett and Tubbs were one of best buddy duos ever in a cop show. It's got Michael Mann touches all over it: great high contrast night shots with primary colors, interesting firearms, the music in the soundtrack. Very binge-watchable.

Almost went out and bought me a linen suit. This show was so badass, best soundtrack hands down.

I was 30 when this show came out. I'm almost 64 now. Always loved this show. Been watching re-runs on STZAC at 11 p.m. every weeknight. Was just thinking last night how right Don Johnson was for this part. His acting was masterful and very believable. Watching these re-runs makes me feel young again.

YES! PHIL COLLINS' "IN THE AIR TONIGHT" ALWAYS WENT WELL IN MIAMI VICE!
-
The best there ever was…Miami Vice…….Friday’s at 10:00 pm, everything stopped, once MV was over, then people went out……it was that good of a show.
-
Everytime they played In the Air Tonight was perfect.
-
I remembered watching Vice on Friday nights. Awesome groundbreaking stuff. The idea of action overdubbed with awesome music in the form of a music video was so new it helped sell the show like no other.
-
maimi vice was a work of art, it captured the fashion, music mentality of an era like no other show did.
-
Phil Collins is probably Miami’s greatest import.
-
The perfect show. I was a kid in the 80's and nothing was more iconic of that decade than Miami Vice. They definitely don't make shows like that anymore.
-
I'm so grateful to have lived in a generation that the music, the style, and the energy of the 80s, the youth since 2000 will never have the overwhelming feeling of joy as we do when we reflect on our life.
