One Eyed Jack

Posted: 24 February 2005 at 6:04am by SOFLAJEREMYWOW I HAD NEVER REALIZED THIS BEFORE BUT I WAS WATCHING ONE EYED JACK TONIGHT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BOOKIES OFFICE AT THE START OF THE SHOW IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE OCB HEADQUARTERS. THEY ARE DOING SURVEILENCE RIGHT OUTSIDE THE OCB HEADQUARTERS ON THE MIAMI RIVER!! WHO WOULD OF "THUNK" IT. IN ONE SHOT JUST UNDER 7 MINUTES INTO THE SHOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE GOLD COAST SHIPPING BUILDING AKA OCB HQ IN THE BACKGROUND. I LOVE WATCHING THE SHOW EVEN MORE NOW THAT I LIVE IN FT LAUDERDALE AND ACTULLY RECOGNIZE THE LOCATIONS. Posted: 26 February 2005 at 7:24am nu airtommyWhile I was watching for the OCB, I noticed this address on one of the buildings (I think it was the bookie's office): 401 SW 3rd Ave. Here's a map to show where that is. My question: what is the restaurant they tussle in? It has an outdoor cafe. I was thinking Big Fish, but that is downstream from OCB (closer to the ocean). This restaurant is upstream. Posted: 28 February 2005 at 4:58am by SOFLAJEREMY if my memory serves correct the menus on the tables read The RioPosted: 04 March 2005 at 1:47am by SOFLAJEREMYI was by there yesterday and took a look. It is now the city of Miami administration building with a nice park like yard along the river. They are cleaning up the area. Even the park on the oposite side a stones throw away. Where they filmed the scene from no exit where sonny posses as a hit man is in much better condition than in the 80's. The power station on the other side where they filmed the climax scene from no exit is now much bigger. Miami vice did alot for south florida.Posted: 08 March 2005 at 5:46am by airtommyOriginally posted by SOFLAJEREMYIt was just wrong to demolish the ocb building.Then you'll hate the end of "The Specialist"Posted: 24 April 2005 at 8:14pm by SOFLAJEREMYhey airtommy thanks for the info on the specialist i got it and just viewed it. his hide out however was not in the ocb but in the 2nd st drawbridge. great scenery of miami in the movie which made me enjoy an otherwise very stupid unrealistic movie.Posted: 25 April 2005 at 6:35am by airtommy I think that they jumbled it up sort of unrealistically. He used the drawbridge tunnel to go get his food and to escape, but I thought he also was in the OCB building. Remember when they first show his hideout? The camera pans in through the roof. That jagged roof is the OCB, isn't it? Remember when he walks on a footbridge over a river? I think that was Miami Beach around 23-26th Street (just a hunch). Posted: 09 September 2007 at 6:05pm by airtommyAnyone know where the pool scene was filmed (Crockett gets busted)? Posted: 10 September 2007 at 7:43pm by airtommyWhen Crockett talks to Jerry Carrow (starting at 17:37), you can see the house number is 802. Here's my best guess: corner of NE 99th St & NE 8th Ave - the house has the same roofline - the walkway has the correct curve - the garage is on the correct side - there are sidewalks on both sides of the street - the house across the street has the driveway on the correct side - I can even see the powerlines behind the house as seen in the episode Posted: 23 October 2007 at 5:51pm by SOFLAJEREMYYou are absolutely correct. I was just watching the ep and the part where I had thought I had seen a truck go by on the highway in the bg I now realize is a trailer on a train that is speeding by which matches up perfectly with your find. You are the king of satelite surveillence Posted: 25 October 2007 at 4:41am by SOFLAJEREMY the gambling joint where tubbs wins the money. Looks like a sobe joint and I see the floor has the standard compass inlaid in the floor with the letter C. Now I just have to checkout all the sobe hotels that start with a C to find this placePosted: 25 October 2007 at 5:05am by SOFLAJEREMYThe more ya watch it the more ya see..miami vice. I am watching One Eyed Jack and I see tubbs walk onto the st vitas dance at bayside / miami marina ( I laugh at his approach because he comes from the dead end end of the dock that is not attached to land so he must have walked on water because he is dry. maybe) So there they are at Bayside and Gina comes on deck and starts talking only she is at watson island with Miami herald in bg.!!!!!!! St Vitas has moved in a blink of the eye. This is the first time I know of that they docked at Watson island Posted: 03 November 2007 at 6:00am by airtommyOriginally posted by SOFLAJEREMYthe gambling joint where tubbs wins the money. Looks like a sobe joint and I see the floor has the standard compass inlaid in the floor with the letter C. Around 21:18 what does that pink neon sign read, "The Trost"????Posted: 08 January 2008 at 6:45am by SOFLAJEREMYthis is the new bar that is where c+t were tied up in the teaser. nice place, great design, and the hot bartender, well she must really like birds because her shirt said swallows. I was disappointed they tore the old place down but have to admit the new place is nice and the river area is getting cleaner. I was impressed that all the exterior walls from the old place remained intact incorporated into this new cool bar except the wall along the river.

Posted: 08 January 2008 at 1:49pm by DanJOriginally posted by SOFLAJEREMYIt was just wrong to demolish the OCB building.I agree. However, its demise was dictated by the expansion of the 2nd Avenue drawbridge. I forget which episode it is, but there is at least one shot of the Daytona coming down off of the original bridge ramp heading south, then turning left into the OCB parking lot.When the bridge was elongated, widened and raised, its down ramp suddenly covered up the front of the OCB building. This made the property difficult to access and blocked a clean view of the beautiful main entrance. The writing was on the wall that this facility's days were numbered.The Lattitude On The River development that now stands on the old Miami Shipyards property promised to build a replica building on the corner of SW 7th Street and 2nd Avenue, facing south by southwest, as a tribute to the original building and Miami Vice. So far I see no indication of them making good on that promise, which disappoints me to no end.BTW all the discussion on The Specialist is great, but can we continue that in the thread we have for the movie? Thanks! Posted: 09 January 2008 at 4:08am by airtommy I think DanJ didn't realize he was responding to posts from 2005. Just to clarify for lurkers - The photo that Jeremy just posted is the spot where C&T had their boat moored in the One-Eyed Jack teaser. In the episode, it was a warehouse-type building, but now it's a restaurant. The bookie's resturant that they were staking out (and then had the brawl in) was on the opposite side of the river and it's now gone.Posted: 09 January 2008 at 5:48am by airtommyThe new place in Jeremy's photo: Finnegan's River and Marina 401 SW Third Avenue Miami website Posted: 20 January 2008 at 9:26pm by miamijimfIn another thread there is a recently posted pic of Castillo, Sonny, and Rico on location apparently discussing the upcoming scene. EJO was still considering what personna Castillo would have on MV. My guess is that the photo was taken at this location at a canal in One Eyed Jack where they find the girl's body. It is the first episode with Castillo so it tracks with SOFLAJEREMY's story. It looks too narrow to be the River. Tamiami Trail canal? Maybe the rest of the episode gives a clue. Posted: 20 January 2008 at 10:47pm by SOFLAJEREMYI have not been able to figure it out. The noteables are 1) Australian pine trees 2) small, small body of water 3) looks like behind a narrow row of trees on other side of water is an open area that is grassy like possibly a golf course or playground. Dirt road leads to area on near side. Posted: 20 January 2008 at 11:02pm by miamijimfThere are many locations in the area that look like that. The canal near Homestead AFB is one that comes to mind. Unless there is a clue in the episode which I haven't found, the only hope is the Location Guide or the script. Posted: 21 January 2008 at 6:11am by airtommyAustralian Pines are the trees Jeremy mentioned once before on Key Biscayne. Just looking at the screencap, that looks more like a creek than a canal. Virginia Key was the go-to place for wilderness scenes on MV, so that seems like the most logical spot. Posted: 21 January 2008 at 1:28pm by DanJThink production economy for a moment, and look at areas near Greenwich Studioes. For a quick scene like this it doesn't make sense that they would go too far out of their way to film it. Miami Shores Country Club immediately comes to mind, but an even better candidate is a spot called Tayler Park on West Dixie Highway and NE 155th Street. Just a hunch, but worth checking out.Posted: 21 January 2008 at 3:18pm by maimijimfGood thinking as usual DanJ, that's the most likely location. Unfortunately vegetation changes a lot in 20 years and the site could have been developed as you know. Also I read there was a S Fla project to remove Austrailian Pines because they are not native to Fla and some people don't like them. A shame really. As I recall they were planted when the canals were dug as a windbreak and to reinforce the banks. Unless there is some permanent type landmark in the scene I think our time would be better spent on other locations.

I have a few places to check out and this area could easily be incorporated into the days investigations Posted: 22 January 2008 at 4:12am by SOFLAJEREMYOriginally posted by miamijimfGood thinking as usual DanJ, that's the most likely location.

I understand what your saying but you are still on the verge of blasphemy.Posted: 03 February 2008 at 3:14am by ifv93I think you guys have just struck gold! I am 99.9% sure that I have found this location due to a simple but overlooked (and vital clue). The clue is not in the screen capture that was first shown, but in this one:Notice the building in the background. So, I read your comments about the Australian Pines and how behind them there appeared to be a golf course or wide grassy space so I first looked at the parks, and buildings that looked like the one above near them. However, when I went south, I found nothing. Instead, I moved up north and Bingo! I found my answer at the Miami Shores Golf and Country Club. Even though you can only see one building, there are in fact two identical ones seen below (notice the windows most of all): So without further ado, here is the location:What I figure, is that the driveway seen here must have been changed slightly because before it had a kind of small loop that is absent here but it all matches up. Here is the same shot with the possible camera location marked by the red "X" and its field of view from the screen capture that was shown earlier:Also, here is the whole satellite shot put together:The red circle is the spot, the green line is the eye view towards the builing which is in turn encircled in blue. So what do you guys think?Wow, I'm sorry DanJ, I hadn't even seen you talk about the MSGCC! How stupid of me! So you were right after all! Posted: 03 February 2008 at 5:47am by airtommy Wow, great detective work! Posted: 03 February 2008 at 1:11pm by miamijimfOutstanding. I missed the landmark. Posted: 03 February 2008 at 1:56pm by DanJLooks like my hunch paid off! Great work, gang!But it looks as if getting a scene re-creation picture will be impossible. That's on private property so unless someone here is friends with those folks, we may never get in there!Posted: 03 February 2008 at 1:58pm by MATT5Fantastic location find Posted: 03 February 2008 at 3:51pm by ifv93Thanks guys, but yeah it was somewhat misleading because it looks like a public road deep into a park like Oleta River which is up in Aventura but then I saw the building on Live Maps and I couldn't believe it. The only trouble was placing it in the course but I settled upon that small branch from the canal that runs right through the Country Club and found the trees and the driveway. Correction though: the driveway has not been changed, it was just a visual illusion that I fell for. The camera is actually a little farther back. Posted: 16 February 2008 at 1:42am by SOFLAJEREMY Went there yesterday, great work guys, confirmed in person we have our location. Will post pictures when I get home tonight.

Great job to all I am anxiously awaiting those picturesPosted: 16 February 2008 at 4:50am by SOFLAJEREMYwait no longer They are cutting down the trees but all matches up. Posted: 16 February 2008 at 4:53am BY SOFLAJEREMYI am surprised the homeowner did not hear the shots, even a .22 should have alerted them, I mean right in their yard the mob is whacking people, Maybe they were watching vice and the music was up too loud.

Posted: 20 November 2008 at 11:18pm by nofretzhas it been discussed that the club that tubbs dances in looks to be the same as "buddies" hotel interior (carillon 6801 collins ave.)? Posted: 22 November 2008 at 6:33am by airtommyI don't recall that being discussed. Sharp eye! I just watched the scenes and I see a neon sign reading "Tiffany's" in both episodes! Posted: 22 November 2008 at 12:22pm by ParkerBurnettWow, nicely done! i never noticed that! Posted: 23 November 2008 at 12:27am by nofretzO M G!! i can't believe i actually made a contribution to the location threads. i've been a lurker for years, but i've never contributed. this is very exciting for me. Posted: 23 November 2008 at 1:39am by airtommyWell done! Posted: 23 November 2008 at 5:36am by nofretzso does this place still exist? Posted: 23 November 2008 at 6:28am by airtommyIt seems the Carillon interior is gone. Here is what I dug up: Here are some posts by Jeremy discussing the Carillon in Buddies. Carillon hotel was used extensively in Buddies, The exterior set up shot of the Shelborne would have us believe that Tiffany's nightclub, dressing room , stairway and lobby were inside the Shelborne but all of those shots were filmed inside the Carillon on Collins. In this ep they took advantage of the real location instead of building sets. Alot of times scenes like the dressing room were done on sets at the studio but not in buddies.The carillon has been gutted and is being rebuilt. was stripped down to concrete and is being redone. Corsair was at 101 ocean dr which is next door to what is now niki beach. Also in this neighborhood for Buddies was the crumy looking neighborhood where she is walking the street and stops to take her baby out of the bag. In the bg you see the street address of 54 painted on the building which was 54 Ocean dr the motel leonard. I will post the sheets shortly.OK, I was wondering about that one. I had noticed the 54, but had no idea where it was. Looks like they decided to do a lot of their filming in the same area, since Annie's hamburger stand was across from 234 Ocean, and the Corsair was at 101 Ocean. The Carillon Hotel will be restored and become part of a big complex called Canyon Ranch more Canyon Ranch info Posted: 22 December 2008 at 4:00am by SOFLAJEREMYI am back, sorry just been real busy but great job I will have to take a close look at that. Here is another one. I had it on at work a couple days ago and as the scene played where tubs is in the bar /casino it hit me. I had looked at this scene many times looking for clues but could not find much. It remained a mystery, one I really wanted to get solved. Then as I watched at work I saw the compass in-laid into the flloor with a large C. I had it right away. This was the lobby of the Clevlander Hotel dressed up to be an illeagal casino. Now I recognized it right away as I had been there a couple months back taking pictures of where Stone meets with C+T for drinks and lunch. Posted: 23 December 2008 at 1:03am by MATT5Good to see you back also SoflaJeremy - Im confused didnt Stone ( from Back in the World ) meet C+T at The Carlyle? Posted: 23 December 2008 at 3:12am by SOFLAJEREMYOPPS Brain fart. It has been a while. That be the place.. Posted: 23 December 2008 at 5:02pm BY MATT5Ha ha ... so the Clevelander lobby was featured in "One Eyed Jack " thats interesting - as I dont believe they used The Clevelander much.

[miamijimf]

After an exchange of PMs with Tommy Vercetti about the location of the street in One Eyed Jack where DeMarco picked up Mrs. Carrow to be wacked ("Gettin' to be a broken record...keep ya 500 bucks sweetheart") I looked at the DVD and Virtual Earth and here is my stab at it: The key is the old Mutual of Omaha Bldg on Brickell with the distinctive columns. When we first see Ms. Carrow she is on the corner of S. Miami Ave and SE 13th St. It helps that you can see the street sign, blurry but partly readable. The car turns right on 13th towards Brickell. I'm not exactly sure where she is when she pulls out the $400. It could be the same spot if the background bldg has been torn down. Anyone want to figure this out? She gets in the car on 13th with the large building with the reflective black siding at the corner of 13th and Brickell in the background.

Has the Carillon Hotel been confirmed as the club with the "Tiffany" sign in the background or is this location still unknown?I bet that the unknown pool scenes (Crockett is busted by Schroeder) have been shot at the same location due to transportation logistics. If it was the Carillon, then the pool area is probably gone because the hotel has been rebuilt.

Here is an old article from March 1988 confirming this. The last sentence is key ("Tiffanys on the Beach, in the Carillon Hotel, 6801 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, is back in business.")http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-03-18/features/8801170801_1_keller-band-singles

Interesting I bet we can dig up some old post cards on the net that would shed some light on that.

The Carillion is gone and been replaced by a building called Canyon replicating a wild west themed Hotel - it looks too high and modern , as is sadly the case of Miami post 2003. The Fontainebleau Hilton is the main hotel even used Nowadays or has it been transferred to the new Fontainebleau - I wouldnt be suprised if this building is empty .:confused:

[CarolineUK]

Pool locationDear AllI have managed to confirm that the location of Sonny's pool scene is at the Carillon, thanks to other members thoughts on it. The unusual windows in both pictures match.Below is a screen capture and a link on the internet. I was delighted to match them at a distance from the city .. now I can't wait to return to do some on-the-spot sleuthing!http://www.miamiviceonline.com/screenshots/haie16.jpghttp://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&id=carillonbeachhotel-miamibeach-fl-usa

Good job Caroline. The Hotel has been so reconstructed/rebuilt that the pool area does not look the same but the windows match for sure.

[CarolineUK]

Thanks Jim & CGlide. This location sleuthing is addictive and with the assistance of google earth etc. it isn't necessarily out of bounds for us who sadly live a long way from Miami. Its a great feeling to get a "hit" & I can't wait to get another!

[Matt5]

Just finished this episode - great locations - lovely to see The Carillion featured . I know the original structure has been demolished rebuilt and renamed Canyon Ranch condo complex - but when I visited this site recently the Carillion sign is still visible from Collins Avenue looking North .

The old building was not torn down and rebuilt but rather gutted of everything down to bare walls, redone and a new building added on so it is hard to tell that we can still see the original. Someday I will find my pictures of the early work as they gutting the structure.

Of course great job @Dadrian. I was veering more towards exteriors but of course you’re right and it compliments my post!

G’day to you all Vicers - I’m in The Carillon Hotel In North Beach ( had a starring role in “One Eyed Jack”  also appeared briefly in “Buddies”, “Bought and Paid For”) this afternoon.

“One Eyed Jack” teaser location. I visited this location last month and will post pictures here.

[Tom]

LAST LOCATION FOUND AND CONFIRMED: ANGEL´S COCK FIGHT SITE

filmed at Merrill Stevens Boat Yard at 1260 NW 11 Street/12th Ave at Miami River. @C Glidesuspected that on his website but I have proof now.

They used exactly the same filming spot in "Yankee Dollar" at the end with the Charlie Glide arrest as can be seen on below comparison. The door, the light, building and the gate matches perfectly. Another case, one of the last of season 1 solved.

ENJOY!

ADDITION AS TO WHERE EXACTLY THE BUILDING WAS (this part of Merrill Stevens northshore has been torn down):

from the FL836 down to Merrill Stevens (next to the lamp of the FL836 we can see in Yankee Dollar outside the premises high up)
