what a show!!! This was the best show to ever hit tv. It had the best producers and writers. Miami Vice is a legend. It cann't be said enough about Don Johnson and Phillp Michael Thomas as they teamed up to make this amazing tv series. To bad it only runned for few years.It could of been a big hit in the big screen. Thanks for the memory for everyone that was part of Miami Vice.
Sex & The City----male version As pure action adventure, this suffers somewhat---it's WAY too slow compared with some other VICE episodes.... But its fun is not there---this is basically the teststrone version of the current hit cable show, SEX AND THE CITY, where a bunch of women have sexual/romantic adventures in the Big Apple every week. Here, it's vice cops Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, traveling out of sunny South Florida to catch a NYC-based drug cartel, but, along the way finding themselves trying to score---Tubbs with his old flame, played by Pam Grier (long before Quentin Tarantino utiliezed her talents), who's undercover---quite literaly---with a Manhattan gangster; and Crockett, who does it with a mystery woman who gave him the eye in a bar. Oh, yeah, there are the obligitory gunfights, including one set in the plaza of the World Trade Center....
Miami Vice-AWESOME I just recently purchased this Miami Vice-Prodigal Son Video. It was AWESOME AND INCREDIBLE Experience that I relived. I am remmbering how wonderful, suspenseful and highly charged series this was. I was captivated all over again. This was the 80's but a good series is timeless not matter how old it is. Good Directing, Acting and good plot series this was. No Cop or Suspenseful Drama show can even compare to the Miami Vice Series even today. I was a fan in the 80's in still will always be a Fan. I wish there were more videos regarding this series. Please go get the Video you will enjoy not only the music but the plots the twist the action and drama will keep you in suspense. I Love MIAMI VICE- The Series/The Movies. PLEASE whomever has the ability to GET the entire series in Video/DVD please do. You will be truly blessing a loyal group of fans and also gain new fans. It you want my opinion BUY THE VIDEOS and MUSIC. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!!
The Start Of The 2nd Season A nice, effective start of the 2nd season of Vice, and the action picks up where the 1st season had ended. This episode goes back a little to show us some of where Tubbs had been in before he came down to Miami. Crockett proves he can handle The Big Apple. Look for KISS singer Gene Simmons in a small part of a drug dealer who directs Sonny and Rico to head to NYC.
Columbian drug busts are "sniffed out " by Sonny and Rico Miami Vice :The Prodigal Son. 1985 ,94 mins Dir, Paul Michael Glaser, Starr, Don Johnson, Phillip Michael Thomas, Saundra Santiago and Edward James Olmos. Score by Jan Hammer . One year TV holdback Extract courtesy of the VHS copy. Crockett and Tubbs (Miami Cops ) are assigned to a mission in Bogota , Colombia; a third world country whose exports are illegal, and where a 2 billion dollar industry is run by a couple of crazed indians. However, when it is discovered that the contraband from their carefully planned ambush has mysteriously failed to arrive at the police lock up . Crockett and Tubbs find themselves in the high-tech world of New York City. Definitely good action packed fun. It is not surprising however that this full lenghth feature film was held back for TV release . The plot is regretably drawn-out and forgotten in the endless soap styled romances between Sonny and Rico's chick flings. The score and cinematography are the highpoints.I especially found the ambient lighting effective for a show such as Miami Vice and all credit goes to Director of Photography James A. Contner. The well chosen sountrack features the likes of Ex- Eagle Glen Frey , Roxy Music, Bob Seeger and The Silverbulletband, Phil Collins and Virtuoso Jan Hammer who is famous for his work with Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola and Jeff Beck Ex- Yardbird
