It certainly did, in something like Magnum PI they would all be sipping tea on Higgins lawn saying what a great job they all did catching the bad guys. Spielberg endings.7 points

To promote this summer's release of Beverly Hills Cop IV, they've been airing the first three movies on TV a lot. I was watching Beverly Hills Cop II and I noticed the bad guy's henchman is Paul Guilfoyle (Milton Glanz in Death and the Lady). Then I noticed the daughter of the murder victim is Deborah Adair (the hooker in Streetwise). It turns out AndrewRemington already documented in another thread a bunch of MV actors in that movie. Deborah/Alice Adair from “Streetwise” Brian O’Connor from “Baby Blues” Dean Stockwell from “Bushido” Tom Bower from “Bushido” Paul Guilfoyle from “Death and the Lady” Chris Rock from “Missing Hours” Frank Pesce from “Home Invaders” Robert Pastorelli from “Down from the Count Part II” There's a reason: the movie had the same casting director as MV - Bonnie Timmerman. I also noticed a shootout scene that looked familiar: We see a camera shot of this same location setting up a scene in Yankee Dollar:6 points

Last summer, I welcomed my first child into this world. This picture is from last summer, and I don't know if it's just the shirt, but I immediately thought of Tony Amato at the end of "No Exit." Oddly enough, my father-in-law also said he looked like Bruce Willis! I hope my son does NOT turn out like Tony, though!6 points

I really love these episodes with future Miami Vice connections. Here's a trailer I made for that very episode a couple of months ago:6 points

Since everyone loves to speculate, and we haven't talked about hardware lately, what guns do you think could or should have appeared on Miami Vice? We all know Michael Mann has a 'thing' for the latest and greatest (which is why the Glock appeared on Vice, and maybe why the AutoMag had a cameo as well), but he didn't get everything. I know personally I wouldn't have minded seeing a Styer GB raise its head (granted it was first designed in the late 1960s, but it made a bit of a comeback in 1980 or so as the GB80 and has both a unique look and operating system). We see a number of Detonics pistols throughout the series, but I was always surprised something from Safari Arms never showed up. They're pretty striking pistols. I've got one made by the original company and one made by Olympic after they bought them out. I have to say the finish on both is really good, but the original MS Safari Arms (the top one) is superior in a number of ways.6 points

Given the length and depth of their relationship as well as the many interpretations people have of each party's view and the relationship overall, I think they deserve their own thread. I have mine; I've fictionalized it at ongoing length. For now I'll just say... the show was good at being subtle. And confusing. And Saundra and Don had superlative chemistry. This is only part of what happens in "Whatever Works", just for example... She's laughing at him, but she's the only one who doesn't say anything mean to him... and they're wearing practically the exact same color... And more significantly: Uh, that's not how you stand with someone you've broken up with twice and told to stay out of your life not that long ago... there is actually enough space in the conference room for you not to be touching each other, you two... (but if you want to act like it's middle school and you're sneaking around in the back of the class, who am I to stop you)?5 points

So, how long does Sonny hold on to that...? It's four years later, he's been married again, he's been horrifically widowed and is about to go murder the guy responsible... I saw this on my rewatch of "Deliver Us From Evil", and my jaw dropped. Well, on the one hand, thank you for sharing your feelings with the class, James... ...on the other... oh, Sonny, you are so screwed up!! It's not ok to have barely-dressed pictures of your exes somewhere your spouse will never see them. Less okay still if the reason she's barely dressed is entirely because of you. (And in the modern day, he'd be in triple trouble for having a picture of a coworker like that at work, no less.) As others have noted, except for a wedding picture when he's initially sitting in the boat and grieving, he has no pictures of Caitlin at all. And I don't believe for one second he views Gina's picture in some kind of innocent sentimental context (it's more like Caitlin's picture of Will), or that he just stuck it in there and forgot about it for three years. Not only is a psych Ph.D not required to decipher his feelings, she's between Rico and Billy, whom the show makes very clear are the other two most important people in his life. So for anyone who views the relationship as "Gina's hopelessly in love with him; Sonny wasn't interested/moved on long ago"... I would say the end of Season 4 puts some fairly graphic evidence to the contrary.5 points

"Whatever Works, Part II" So, going back to the beginning of this episode, there's Crockett's nameless, semi-infamous, forgettable one-night-stand. Let's look at her a little more closely... "Please call me, Sonny"/ "Please dance with me, Sonny" Does he do either? No. Is it implied he's now feeling a lot more guilty about the latter? Yes. Is it also implied he probably slept with this random woman because under the influence she somehow seemed like Gina? Also yes. Do the Gina ties stop here? They don't. So as opposed to this time, where he's completely ignoring her, has to pick up a sordid mess from unfulfilling shenanigans, and loses the Daytona to boot... ...the last time we saw Sonny in his (blue, more optimistic, not-Daytona black) underpants at the crack of dawn on the boat, he was pretty damn involved and happy. And with good reason. Everybody was in such a good mood here that despite hearing about Barbara Caro's murder minutes later, Sonny holds onto this memory (as a positive) for a long, long time. TBC. As far as "Whatever Works" is concerned, though, it's a surprising amount of stuff to catch considering it's all in the background, it's not an episode about their relationship, and Gina doesn't even have any lines! Now multiply that by 100, literally...5 points

Not sure if this has been already addressed here, but a couple of months ago a Miami Vice documentary appeared on YouTube. It's from Indigo Gaming, a video game company/profile which I've never heard before. Surprisingly (my initial thoughts were that 90% of the time would be about video games), to my taste it was a very cool doc. Nice info, insights and cool production (and relatively long running time!). Here it is:5 points

"Stand By Me" - My rating (A) A coming of age tale based on the semi autobiographical novel “The Body” by Stephen King and authentically written by Raynold Gideon and Bruce Evans. Director Rob Reiner directs it with a light touch of sentimentality. A well observed and executed film.5 points

Remember when Stone stole the Daytona? Then Crockett steals the Testarossa at the end of the series. I guess it’s a thing.5 points

Currently going through the 70s crime drama Starsky and Hutch. As I’ve stated before, there’s some definite tie-ins between it and MV…as Michael Mann wrote several episodes of S&H, Paul Michael Glaser & David Soul later directed episodes of MV, and the like-brothers type friendship between each show’s main stars has been compared before. Tonight I’m watching a S&H episode from Season 3 called “Quadromania” (1978). It happens to guest star a young Philip Michael Thomas, as a cab company manager who wants to be a radio DJ …not only that, but Anthony Yerkovitch wrote this episode! It’s a wild, creepy episode about a psychotic serial killer who dresses up in bizarre disguises, and…targets cabbies!5 points
