mvnyc Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can you post a photo?I'd love to see it!When I get some time, I'll see if I can put a picture up. It looks like any other season one crew jacket, with his name inscribed and some make-up smeared on one arm (the story I got from the person I got it from (a co-producer, whom I won't name) was Don was leaning back on his chair that day and fell off during a make-up read-through for a scene)...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 That being said' date=' of all the items you have from "Miami Vice" (props or otherwise), which one is your most coveted?[/quote']I'd have to say that I think these are my favorite items.They are something that the stars used every day, and it's a personal item.I also think they are the most valuable of my MIAMI VICE items.Director chair backings for stars can command very high prices. I'll bet three stars as a set from an iconic show like MIAMI VICE, would be worth some good money.I don't know the value.I know that not so well known actor Billy Crudup's directors chair (from 2003's BIG FISH) asking price is $550.00.What do you think my three are worth?

mvnyc Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 So' date=' you believe this is not just a crew member's jacket who has the same name, "Don", you believe you have THE actual crew jacket don johnson wore... HMMMMmmmm.....I'd like to see it.[/quote']Yes, because a): It's a custom-fit jacket that Don had made tailored for especially for him, instead of a small, medium or large and B): The person whom I got it from would have no reason to lie to me about it (I thought the same thing at first, but for the reasons I stated above, I truly believe it's the geniune article).

mvnyc Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w17/steven-spielberg/chair3.jpgThat's a tough one, because they don't include the actual chairs themselves.

I don't know their actual value, you would have to get them appraised at a place that specializes in that sort of thing...[/quote']Unlike a movie, where they usually buy them, MIAMI VICE used a company, or their own stock of folding chairs, and just put the chair backs on them, (at least the later seasons they did).When I went to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, they had a shop there that just had collectible stuff like a robe someone wore when working on a film, or production photos, things like that. They also had a chair backing of someone (can't remember who) but it wasn't a very big name, otherwise I would have remembered, and they were asking a WHOLE LOT of money for it.I remember laughing out loud on how much they were asking for it, and what my three would be worth. I have the director chair backings of the TWO MAIN STARS! CROCKETT AND TUBBS + one of the the other lead actors, (who left early, so it may be a very rare piece in itself.) :thumbsup:I think they are worth quite a bit as a group.

pahonu Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I LOVE MIAMI VICE!! Hey Coop,I'm new to the forum, but just wanted to say what a great collection you have and your enthusiasm is fantastic. I'm having lots of fun looking through all the forum threads. I just recently got back into watching the show on Centric channel and have begun DVRing them to make sure I see each episode. I watched the show in its original run when I was in high school, and it's fun and a bit nostalgic watching them again.In looking at your collection and home, it struck me how mutch of the lifestyle I have though it must have been subconscious or something. I live at marina in Long Beach CA, own a sailboat (though I don't live on it ), my wife drives a convertible that I use alot, and our home is very sparely decorated with some modern artwork and furniture, not unlike the 80's style. It's nothing compared to you, of course. Back to the forum now to explore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long beach has several areas that look like Miami besides the various marinas: the canals in Naples, Colorado Lagoon, the downtown area, and others. You may not know this but it looks so much like Miami that CSI Miami films here! I've seen Miami-Dade police cars used for filming around here several times. It's an odd sight to see. I don't watch CSI Miami, but now that I've started watching Miami Vice again, there are a lot of similarities between the two cities that I had never noticed. I wonder if the show subconsciously drew me to the area??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones we have here in L.A. are a different type than are found in Florida.Another thing that makes MIAMI VICE different was the fact that is was actually filmed in Miami, and not Los Angeles like CSI Miami does to save costs (with pick up shots from Miami edited in when needed).When MIAMI VICE was on the air, NBC threatened to take the show to L.A. because the show was so costly to produce, but in the long run, they decided against it, and it continued to be filmed in Miami.My friend, you need to buy some pastel clothing for your enviornment. Now is a good time too, as it's almost Easter. That's when white blazers, and pastel are available.Start liv'in the MIAMI VICE lifestyle!

Kavinsky Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm just curious looking at the photos here are all of your walls a neutral white and the floors either wood or a grey carpet?have you ever thought of maybe trying to use some non earth tone colors for your walls like a white yellow and maybe try to mix it up a touch without getting too much into the neon color realm?you know maybe something along the lines of the paint job of this Donzi boat minus the purple?

MIAMI VICE used LOTS of stark white walls in the homes, and touches of pastel, plants, and lights.My neon, and LED lights at night give the walls a great color over the whole wall. Pictures and things on the wall would ruien the effect. If I want yellow, all I have to do is change the color of the LED lights, as it has several different colors to choose from with the click of a button. I'm happy the way it is.

It's probably because I'm so tall (6-6) and don't have alot of choices that fit me. Plus I'm pretty active outdoors with lots of camping, hiking, swimming, sailing, and kayaking so I pick things that suit that. I wear lots of shorts, jeans, t-shirts, button ups and a few polos. Nothing too exciting. With my height I would attract alot more attention in a pastel blazer, if I could even find one to fit! I wear a 50 extra long jacket.

It's easy on the eyes, and is relaxing. Also, pastel colors all go together, where primary colors do not all go together. I wouldn't want white carpet, as that would get dirty REALLY quick! My carpet is a very light tan, and looks very well with the surroundings.My bedroom is all white and black. (Black bed frame and headboard, white sheets, including the comforter) I actually based it on a room in the episode PRODIGAL SON when in the house Gina was shot in.

Took me a full week to get that stuff off.along with dark blue and black bedsheets and curtains, hmm maybe that's the first thing I should change next to lighten it up abit and sort of the same color wood furniture as your wood floors there in your living room, about the same texture roughly.actually the more I think about it maybe the yellow isnt a good idea and I did actually have the kitchen redone from a dark redish paint job to a pastel blue and its amazing how much bigger and lighter that seems now along with medium grey tileshmmm maybe go for a medium grey carpet, all around white walls and change the bedsheets and curtains to a much lighter color (needs to be changed anyways as the curtains are letting in far too much light anyways) as I'm atleast tired of dark blue, light blue however might be a welcome change.
