Tom Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) here are the episode comparisons as proof that it was always the same courtroom (there are multiple rooms) they used. All looks like 1984/85, even the carpet and paintings are still the same.... Click to enlarge! Edited March 11, 2022 by Tom 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm sure it is Courtroom 6-3. Lombard is sitting in front of 6-4, confirming they are on the 6th floor. The configuration when they walk in the door (the camera view from the court room out the door) makes 6-3 the only correct fit on that floor. But, I haven't been able to get inside to match the paintings on the wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) The club scenes with C&T, Trini de Soto and Calderone were filmed inside the OMNI, specifically the club Alexandre inside where (fun fact) Andy Garcia, later known Hollywood actor, was a running the light machine at that time. I found a rare 1977 pic of the dining room inside the OMNI that has lots of the elements of the club scenes, i.e. the floor and the seating corner walls. See comparison below.

airtommy Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Interesting review on Amazon. I wonder if he posts here? https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RWP3J91HTK70M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000W4JMEO Michael 5.0 out of 5 stars The location of the "In The Air Tonight" scene Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013 A famous scene from Miami Vice is the Crockett and Tubbs car trip while Phil Collins's "In The Air Tonight" plays ("Brother's Keeper," Season 1 Episode 1). For more than a decade, I wanted to know where the famous scene was filmed. I discovered the filming locations after I moved to Miami in January 2013. My enjoyment and interest in Miami Vice has increased since I became a resident of Miami. During the "In The Air Tonight" scene, I paused the DVD at the elapsed time of 1 hour 23 minutes and 35 seconds (1h:23m:35s). I saw a lighted "Ocean Bank" sign. The building in the scene also has two large white columns that are illuminated at night. I used the satellite view and the street view on Google Maps to look at every Ocean Bank location in Miami. I went to the building that looked like the building in the scene. When I saw it in person, I confirmed that it was the same building shown on Miami Vice. My trip to the Ocean Bank building allowed me to identify five buildings that are in the famous scene. There are two Miami Vice buildings at the intersection of NW 42nd Avenue and NW 7th Street in Miami: the Ocean Bank building (1h:23m:35s) and the Shell gas station (1h:23m:34s). The Shell gas station in 2013 was a Gulf station in 1984. There are two Miami Vice buildings at the intersection of NW 42nd Avenue and NW 3rd Street in Miami: Le Jeune House (1h:26m:31s) and the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) (1h:24m:05s). The Management Resources Institute building is between the Ocean Bank building and the IHOP. The Management Resources Institute building is at 550 NW 42nd Avenue (42nd Avenue is also called Le Jeune Road) (1h:26m:27s). Some of the "In The Air Tonight" scene was filmed in another part of Miami (the Omni area). I made a trip to the Omni area. There are two Miami Vice buildings on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami: Carnival Tower (1h:26m:49s) and the Omni buildings (1h:26m:41s). Carnival Tower is at the NE 13th Street intersection. Carnival Tower is the small part of the Sears Building that was not demolished after Miami Vice was cancelled. A better view of the Sears Building is shown later in the show (1h:34m:24s). The Omni buildings are at the NE 15th Street intersection. The Omni buildings used to be the Omni International Mall. The information that I gave in the previous paragraphs came from just one scene. Miami Vice was on television for five seasons. The five seasons of Miami Vice are described in five titles in the bonus material menu: The Vibe Of Vice (How Miami Vice changed television), Building The Perfect Vice, The Style Of Vice, The Music Of Vice, and Miami After Vice. The Miami Vice Season One DVD has six single-sided DVDs or three double-sided DVDs. The bonus material menu is on the first DVD of the six DVD set (and the three DVD set).

miamijimf Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 The most recent paint job on the Carlyle. I like the colors it had when the Pilot was filmed best but this isn't a bad look. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That color palette is appropriate for the Art Deco era of the building. It may not be accurate for that particular building, but it is from that time. Preservationists often take paint samples that include a dozen or more layers going back to the original. They give owners options for appropriate historical choices. I would suspect that something very like this color scheme existed in the earliest years of the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 A nice early 1970s shot of the stretch we see a few times in the Pilot ( in particular the car / boat chase) of Collins Avenue / 44th St looking north. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no clues in the scene and he didn't have this script. I assume you gotta ask him. This leads back to the original question why CGlide has not been on this site since May 2021, whereas he is posting on Facebook still. As far as I can remember, he got a tip from someone on the set about this Bunnel Foundation building being used and when he went there in person, he found the spot of the jail scenes.

That must be the case. None of these scenes gave any clues. He first posted about it in a trivia thread that has been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted August 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Being a real Vice nut and fan of Miami locations I saved a lot of the old location finding posts. Here is what I found posted by SouthFloridaJeremy a.k.a.CGlide: Posted: 13 September 2007 at 2:29am Later in the ep they go to move calderone from the lock up to another jail and find out he has been released. This occurs at an oil co. on the north side of the Miami river as posted in the episode trivia section. When I was there I had not been thinking of the ocb being anywhere but Greenwich Studios, but now that I think about it when I was there taking pictures from the above scene the place looked alot like the pilot episodes ocb offices. Correct style, construction,and feel, even having the glass block windows. I shall go there soon with the blue print drawing I was able to draw from the several scenes in the pilot movie.Stay tuned.... posted by airtommy: posted: 13 September 2007 at 3:11am C&T go to move Calderone from the lockup to another jail (but find out he has been released): 3033 NW North River Drive Click here for a photo (Jim's note: no photo showed up) [edit] Hey, that's just across the river from the where Tubbs steals Crockett's boat! And later: Posted: 13 September 2007 Originally posted by SOFLAJEREMY 99.6% CONFIRMED I was just looking at some photos I had taken inside the building upon my previous vist for the above mentioned scene and its a lock. Same ceiling tiles, same size, same little rectangular windows built in above the doors its a match I just need to go back and take photos at the appropriate angles to recreate the office scene but its a match No wonder I felt as though I was standing in speacial holy ground the last time I was there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerDurden389 Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I was there around the same time. A lot of homeless folks must hang around there at night cuz I took this pic very early in the morning (before the sun was up) and the place reeked of urine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
