ivoryjones Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi! Back in the '80s, a month or so after I saw "Stone's War" for the first time, I saw a movie on TV that had images in common with that episode! The common footage was the combat scenes in Nicaragua (not the ones in which Ira Stone and O'Hara appeared, of course).I was never able to find the name of that movie, until now!!! Please check this around 29 minutes! The name of the movie is "Latino" (1985), here is the imdb linkRobert Beltran, from Freefall, stars it. As far as I know, Miami Vice never credited the footage. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 What an amazing find, ivoryjones! IMDB says the movie was filmed in Honduras and Nicaragua. Too bad I can't see this because it is blocked for American viewers on Youtube. I don't know anything about YT; would it be easy for someone to re-post just the combat footage parts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 This first screen capture is from "Stone's War". A few frames later, the truck is hit by mortar fire. This second screen capture is from the movie "Latino", right after the mortar fire hits the truck: Also, the building with "Sandino Vive" written in big letters on the wall can be seen in both the movie and the MV episode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Great find! Now we know why we could not identify the locations as they were borrowed scenes from another movie (which is quite unique and happened only once in the series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
