Style and substance.
>>70798470
Has anyone been as bro-tier as Sonny and Rico?
>>70798470
FUN
extremely comfy
80s porn (fashion, music, style etc.)
Also corny, cheesy and clichéd, but in a fun way

There are shows that would only work at specific eras at a specific mode of style. So few shows have that success. Miami Vice worked. However I don't believe this show could work today.
Anyone have a screenshot of Michael Bay's appearance? I watched the episode he is but didn't recognize him. Is this him?>>70800701
>>70801194
RIP Miguel Pinero, you old faggot.
>It's a Sonny loses his memory and becomes a bad guy for half a season.
Anyone got Ben Stiller's appearance?
>>70801228
Well I'll be goddamned if it isn't Mr Blonde.
Do you have screen caps of Bruce Willis from his appearance?
>>70801392
Beautiful hair.

>tfw you never be cool with a pink suit

>>tfw you never be cool with a pink suit
Exactly. You couldn't get away with wearing a pink, sky-blue or pastel suit today. It all belongs in the mid-80's.

I have every episode of Miami Vice on DVD. If there is any scene you want a screenshot of, ask me and I'll do my best to find it.

>>70802515
Did you watch the episode where Tubbs falls in love with a woman and she tries to kill him. He wakes up handcuffed to a bed while she starts a fire.
I can't remember how he got out of that one.
Remember one of the episodes that Don Johnson directed that had Iman as a serial killer?
>>70802607
Sounds like one of the late season eps. I just put in S05 Disc 1 to see if there are any good scenes for capping. Show kind of petered out in the later seasons.
>>70801037
Is that the Doc from Deadwood?
>>70801580

>>70801798

Kram?
Debra Feuer who was in Crime Story and To Live and Die in L.A. and Joe Santos who was in tonnes of stuff from the 70s to today.
>>70798470
Awesome as fuck.
Nobody could ever pull off a remake besides don Johnson.
The Jamie fox and Colin Farrell movie wasn't bad either
>>70802852
That's Matt Frewer in the background too right?
>never forget
Victor Argo from Scorsese and Ferrara movies.
>>70802669
It's that dude from LOTR 2.
>>70801918
>S3 episode A Good Collar
If that was today there would have been a riot
>>70802607
Is the girl a prostitute? I remember an episode in later season 2 or early season 3 where there's a serial killer who falls in love with Tubbs and she tries to kill him. He ends up handcuffed to a bed and I think Sonny saved him at the last minute. I think the girl kills herself
>>70802668
I've watched up to season 4. I watched the season 4 opening and temporarily lost interest. After the god tier opening for season 3 it just seemed so lacklustre.
Who is this guy? Looks really familiar.
>>70802668
It's from season 2 near the end if I remember correctly, the last ten episodes for sure,
Pruitt Taylor Vince and Gary Farmer plus William O'Leary.
Wow, Melissa Leo was young once.
Marc Macaulay, one of the few actors to appear both in the VICE tv series and movie.

That must be it. I think Tubbs believed the serial killer was trying to kill her. But she turned out to be the killer. She died it the fire,
>>70803386
This sounds like 'Little Miss Dangerous.' and it is season two, I believe.
Dunno this guy's name but he is also in L.A. Takedown.
Seasons 1&2 are GOAT tier
Great Mann-influenced cinematography and operator porn
Season 3 is ok but you can definitely feel the absence of Mann. Also the "no earth tones" rule was abandoned and the visuals/color palette really suffered. It didn't age was well as the earlier seasons
The less said about seasons 4&5 the better
Tubbs likes his women to have a nice, bushy monobrow.
One of the best shows ever. Once you look past the fashion and some of the dialogue, it is truly classic. Visually stunning imo.
>>70803584
I really like the last two seasons even though some people think it had jumped the shark when Sonny got amnesia became Burnett....its so silly I enjoyed it.
>>70801749
That was one of my favorite endings ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLf4C1UIpws
Saundra Sauntiago was so hot. I like the episodes where she and Olivia Brown dress up as prostitutes.
>yung walnuts
remember when crocket had amnesia and really thought he was burnett and became a based "i'll shoot you in the face for looking at me cartel" enforcer?
Guy on the left looks familiar.
>>70801798
There are a few
Castillo was too fucking based
>>70803796
Oh right, he's the photographer in Full Metal Jacket.
Pic related, from the episode where Crockett has to look after a witness.
And that's why you always leave a note!
RIP Steve Ryan.
Started smoking Lucky Strikes with the filter bitten off because of Sonny Crockett
I probably looked like the biggest tool but I felt like a goddamn boss

The episode Shadow In the Dark is literally Manhunter: Miami Vice, and I fucking love it.
>>70804645
Is that the one with the serial killer who enters peoples' homes and he does this thing with his tongue like he is tasting the air? Not a bad ep.
>it's a Crockett gets cucked by his ex-wife and her son episode
>>70803668
>Once you look past the fashion
I always found the 80's aesthetic to be one of the best parts of the show. My buddy and I have gone as Crockett and Tubbs for Halloween the past three years, we even rented a white Ferrari last year.
>tfw couldn't drink because too scared I'd wreck the car and too scared to let my gf drive it because she drives like a 90 year old Chinaman
Not doing that shit again.
Canadian actor Robert Joy from Land of the Dead and lots of other things.
>>70804672
Yep. They aired that on Halloween for the first time in 86 I think and people got spooked hard.
>it's a Rita Moreno guest stars episode
>>70804878
>It's a Rita Moreno is 900 years old and I'd still fuck her life
>>70804387
He went on some sort of crazy yakuza ending.
>>70804796
>because she drives like a 90 year old Chinaman
That made me laugh.
>>70804940
>EGOT winner
>Presidential Medal of Freedom award
Truly, this woman is based.
>it's a Michael Mann employees former thief John Santucci again before his inevitable returns to a life of crime episode
RIP
>>70804796
I totally agree about a lot of that aesthetic being cool...and Sonny usually looked boss. But there were times where the clothing and hair is just awful. Pic related.
Did you rent a real Testarossa? Fun fact: In the show, the original Daytona was actually a C3 Vette that was made to look like a Daytona by a small company in Florida. The interior is all Chevy if you look closely. Ferrari got pissed when they saw the popularity of the show featuring a fake-Ferarri and sent NBC the Testarossa, which first appeared as black but was painted white for better visibility in night scenes. They used Detomaso Pantera's with body kits on them during chases so as not to fuck up the real thing.
>>70805077
>She stole Philip Michael Thomas's EGOT
That's cold, Rita.
>>70805167
Even funnier considering he coined the acronym and then wound up doing commercials for a psychic hotline.
>>70805130
Wow, I didn't know all that, that's actually really cool.
Yeah we got an actual Testarossa, it was a different year though because we couldn't find a white one like on the show that was for rent of that year. Ours was an 89, and the guy that rented it to us apparently rents all types of classic and sport cars to movies that shoot here in NYC. He owns a parking garage that is pull of amazing cars, it blew my mind.
I wish I could afford one of the real ones. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/06/miami-vice-ferrari-to-sell-at-auction.html
>it's an old criminal Tubbs put away years ago is released from prison and builds a maze full of traps in his house he imprisons Tubbs in
RIP John P. Ryan
>>70805130
>Daytona
Fuck. I thought that was real. I actually thought/believed they blew up a real Daytona.

Live your dreams breh, I'm sure the bank would give you a loan if you tell them you're trying to be like Sonny Crocket. I know I would.

>>70805852
yeah. and if you look closely during some scenes you can see the Detomaso stunt car being used instead of the Ferarri. Its less pretty.

Now they just slap a GoPro on the hood ornament. We've come a long way.
Xander Berkley from HEAT
>Sit down, Ralph!
Paul Guilfoyle plays a few different characters, the best being the film director who Crockett thinks made a real snuff film.
talk about kitsch
RIP Karen Black
>>70806409
wew lad I didn't even recognize her and I just got done marathoning the show a few days ago.
Never saw the show but good thread. Are there any particularly good episodes to check out? I love Mann but doubt he was much involved.
>It's a Danny Sullivan as the guy you will google to know who he is makes his cameo.
>>70806503
Mann was heavily involved during at least the first two seasons, having final say over casting, choosing the directors, music, etc.
The two-hour pilot is a good introduction but I would also recommend Out Where the Buses Don't Run, which is pretty great, too.
>>70806587
Re-watched this episode with my brother recently. He's real life racing driver and is very stiff in his scenes.
>>70806503
See >>70804645 if you liked Manhunter you will love that episode. Creepy shit.
Pic related is Keith Gordon, who started off as an actor in some De Palma films and now directs films and tv himself. This episode is a backdoor pilot where Crockett only appears at the beginning while the rest of the episode is about a younger cop going undercover to find this professor (Gordon) who's student are killing themselves because of some drug he's supplying them. I can see why it wasn't picked up.
>>70806701
Hey that's the main dude from Christine!
>>70806761
That's right. Also in Dressed to Kill, I think and something else from the 80s...?
>>70806503
Definitely Miami
Mmmm, Laura san Giacomo. Also appeared in Mann's Crime Story. Always wanted to see her tits when I was younger, but I don't think she ever got them out. A shame.
>>70806701
Wow, he has directed a lot of good TV.
>Fargo
>Homeland
>Rectify
>The Bridge
>The Leftovers
etc. Pretty good resume there.
>>70806701
Kek isn't that the premise of 21 jump street
Can you tell me who the singer Crocket dated and the her killer? I seem to remember it was John Malcovich.
>>70806898
Sheena Easton was his wife the pop star.
>>70806870
Are you me? And sadly no she didn't, the closest we ever got was a bra shot in The Stand.

It's a damn shame she never whipped em out
>>70806870
She was hot as fuck in Sex Lies and Videotape.
>>70806883
lol you're right.
This is from an episode that was deemed to disturbing to air because it dealt with child abuse. It was later shown on another channel after the series had ended, IIRC.
>>70806987
JEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWBS
Ian McShane as some South American dictator general in the series finale Freefall.
>>70807289
Just read up on that episode.
>Selling your kid to a guy that beats you so he can fuck your kid for $300
Yeah that's heavy even for today's standards.

Too Much, Too Late
Teh end
I like how Miami Vice threads usually go really well and the shitposting is kept to a minimum. Other shows with similar threads are Frasier and The Twilight Zone. The threads have a pleb filter or something.
I love the decor in the rooms and locations. According to Sandra Santiago, Mann was a perfectionist when it came to the backgrounds and sets, trying to coordinate wall colors and clothiing colors...all those pastels...
>>70807842
Mann fans are patrician.
>>70808004
>It will never be the 80's again and you will never experience living in a place that looks like that
Just fucking kill me already.
>>70807823
Wasn't it implied that they went to become cops in New York in the finale?
>>70803710
so this is "unrest of '83"-era paulie...interesting.
>>70804580
is that fucking albert rosenfeld
>>70808310
It's Miguel Ferrer.
>>70808211
Tony Sirico was a true gangster until the mid 80s when he started acting. There's a documentary that I've been looking for for years now, called The Big Bang that came out in the late 80s probably around the time of that episode. Its interviews with random people of all walks of life, how they think the world became what it is. Tony Sirico, before anyone knew who he was, talked about his life bashing peoples heads in, the mob, etc. One of the stories is about how he was so in love with a girl that he killed for her. There's court records from a trial he was part of back in the 70s somewhere online. He beat someone with a bat but I don't remember the circumstances. He had a mobster-y nickname and everything. I guess that's why he's so natural at playing gangsters.
>>70808331
so...yes, it is.

In that picture he's telling Sonny about the time he scored four touchdowns in a single game.

>>70803420
>Little Miss Dangerous
I was a little kid and that ending of that episode was the best right up there with the race car driver that drives into the wall at the end of the episode
>>70808493
Well, that is explained by that episode being from one of the later seasons when Michael Mann wasn't there to ensure things were authentic. Pretty sloppy.
>>70804580
Randell Flag?
>>70808645
I'm just now realizing how many people that were in The Stand were in Miami Vice. It's quite a lot. The Trash Can Man was in two episodes.
>>70808469
and he still holds that record
I just want it to be the 80's and I can do coke and drive a Ferrari and wear pastel suits with the sleeves rolled up, is that too much to ask?
