Rocky 3 Motel destroyed by fire used in Miami vice

[alleycat]

I just found out this information this motel was destroyed but I don’t remember it in Miami Vice. Anybody can help me with this question.

@alleycatWow that dive place just off skid row in LA - yes it was recycled in some Season 1 episode footage , the teaser of “Glades”.

I wonder if other locationers know this hotel has been destroyed @miamijimf  @airtommy @C Glide

Very good Matt.  Didn't know that.  Tried unsuccessfully to figure out where in Vice that seedy Calif. place was filmed.  Should have thought of Glades but my excuse is I've never been that interested in locations out of Fla.

I remember it was stock footage Jim and this dive hotel was also used in Rocky III in 1982.

I just watched the "Glades" scene and the Hotel Lorane isn't just any part of the footage.  It's the most important part - the setup shot of the hotel where Switek & Zito are watching the witness.
