So, best show of the 80's, or best show of the 80's? Amirite? In The Air Tonight Crockett's Theme Devo Scene |
|
Nash Bridges was a pretty good series too. In two episodes, the actor who plays Tubbs guest starred, once as a good guy and once as a bad guy. In both episodes, when he and Don Johnson (Sonny Crockett, Nash Bridges) are on screen together, the Miami Vice theme plays in the background. I thought that was a pretty cool touch. ETA: Michael Mann did Miami Vice and Heat; so far as Arfcom is concerned, he is the ultimate authority for putting cops on film.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to Christmas, 1979. And never leave again.  All I'd need to do is get a fake identity (I could hire a Mexican to do that!  ) and keep an eye on economics. Nothing so cliche as knowing what the stock market will do and get rich off of it; too easy to get nailed for inside trading (despite not doing it.). I'd just know enough to live comfortably and enjoy the greatest decade of the 20th century.Besides, you think a Bren Ten was hard to get in the 80's, you should see the prices now!

You have never lived until you have been in the back of a panel van, with a bunch of heavily armed mutherfuckers, playing "In the Air Tonight"... ETA: Crockett was the man in the 80s I lived in Miami when they were filming MV. Great show. My house was a few blks away from the great "FBI shoot out of 1986". |

Definitely Miami: Ted Nugent youtube.com/watch?v=uNkvsD7OLgg |
Loved the show back then but really only watched to see what was the weapon of the week. Smugglers Blues was the first time I had ever seen an AR with a beta mag. Unfortunately too many folks in Washington at the time couldn't separate fact from fiction and used the show as a primer for gun control. In the long run it hurt us more than we know.

To each their own. I like it, never had it loaded up in the CD player ready to go...but I won't shut it off if it comes on Sirius. |

Hey check out Rick Bravo web site for some really good background info on the show. http://www.miami-vice.org/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=28 http://www.rbravo.com/miami_vice.htm not having much luck making these sites active. Appreciate if someone could help us out. Thanks There is a lot of info on the show from a few other web sites.Do a search, Enjoy |
| Here is a link to YouTube with a bunch of videos from the show: Miami Vice Video's |
One of my favorites. Unfortunately, the show was labeled as too violent by the PC crowd, but many of the anti-gunners learned their weapons handling from this show. Remember the show of Don J with the gun held up vertically with the muzzle up next his face. So, after that I see many "weapons experts" holding their gun similarly.
|
Yep. Notice now that the AWB is over, Miami politicians are now spouting that their town is overrun by bad guys with machine guns ( ) and they always give examples like they were reading the script from Miami Vice."Bad guy shoots Tec-9 from the hip; the car explodes when hit." 
|
Miami Vice and Magnum, P.I. were the best shows of the eighties. |

have you guys been able to find an MV scene, set to Robert Plant's "Little by Little"(*), wherein this (hot) woman kills her lover/father on a boat? "go on -- you kill your own flesh and blood!" ar-jedi ps: i was in high school when MV was on -- and i never missed an episode. i just discovered my wife (same age) has never seen an episode of MV. what should i do now?

I can't believe no one has mentioned the best draw-and-shoot scene EVER on TV... Start watching at 1:40 The actor REALLY knows how to use a gun. He was in on the early days of IPSC. OOPS, forgot link: youtube.com/watch?v=lsUaMoyKm40 |
Yeah, the assassin was badass. That's Jim Zubiena. He's a friend of mine and a member of my gun club. He's a pretty good skeet shooter too. Here's a shorter version of the same clip: youtube.com/watch?v=lOaGg1nXhgg |
