Dadrian Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Such a great song, though. I loved it both times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 When I visited the 12th floor of The Atlantis I took these shots last year. We see this area in “Viking Bikers from Hell” and “Hit List”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I saw this picture yesterday in a Brickell restaurant an old photo of The Breakwater featured extensively in this Spring 1987 episode.

Matt5 Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Some great shots of The Breakwater and Ocean Drive in this episode from February 1987. Taken from the Blu ray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted November 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Just learned from Morgan Richter's discourse about Viking Bikers (one of my favorite episodes) that the story came from John Milius, the Oscar nominated writer who wrote the classic move Apocalypse Now. If you have seen Apocalypse Now you will notice the similarities: a demented and violent man with a method to his madness, horror, and a hero who takes on the evil in a primitive way etc. Interestingly, John Milius uses the name Walter Kurtz in the credits as the writer. Colonel Walter Kurtz was the name of the violent demented character played by Marlin Brando in the movie. Col Kurtz had a method to his madness also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 We get a nice shot atop the Rickenbacker Causeway in this one from 1987 of the bad dudes heading away from Virginia Key. My shot is from a few weeks ago when the bridge was closed on a Sunday morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Unknown location: home of one of the whacked dealers where Tubbs is shot at. This should be findable. Calm broad street and unique arched wall and Art Deco style. Miami Beach? Edited May 19, 2020 by Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Could be but it reminds me of the Morningside area. When doing some Burn Notice in that area I saw houses like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 The key detail is that the right part of the wall is not parallel to the street. I think the house is not parallel to the street either, so I've been looking for diagonal streets. I've searched Brickell and South Beach many times but couldn't find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Found a house and wall (Victor Hotel type) with similar features. This is the 3400 block of Meridian Ave. Same architect? Birds eye view of the house on the other side of the wall looks different, more modern. House reminds me of the older homes on the W. side of the Alton Rd. Golf Course but didn't see it there. Another issue - As a former biker (not a 1%er) I've always thought it wrong that a biker gang was not riding Harleys. Anyone else?

Tom Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 That’s a similar wall and conveniently close to St.Patricks Church, another location in that episode but that’s not it. I am sure there are more walls like that and the location looks like MB to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) A friend familiar with the Beach thinks it is at the corner of W 23d Street and Alton Rd. There is so much vegetation you can't get a look at the front of the house with a streetside view. Here is the current Google Earth Pro aerial view: Here is the Historical Aerials view from 1986. A possibility to consider?. Edited May 23, 2020 by miamijimf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 You refer to the house 2232 Alton Road (the part around the corner on W23 street does not have a fitting wall entrance and is the same house). Good lead, thanks, but that´s not it. 3.5 key issues when comparing with VBFH: 1. the wrong wall (it is not straight in the episode, but curved at the left and kinked on the right of the entrance with the light balls) 2. The house (the part on the right side of the entrance that is sticking out closer to the street is missing) - see picture without vegetation from a real estate agency below as a comparison 3. The surrounding. In reality there is the intersection only a short distance to the right of the house and the therefore the wall curved,. In the episode (my second picture above with Reb standing and palm trees, street signs and a longer stretch of street behind him to the right of the entrance where the bikers left! This house was NOT at an intersection, there was a free lot) 3.5 (only half an issue). The arched wall part is missing. But this could have been demolished since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Thanks, what real estate agency site had that pic you posted? Zillow? I have found realtor pics before by just typing in the address of a house on the top line of a browser but, of course, we don't now the address in this case.

My picture is from Redfin. https://www.redfin.com/FL/Miami-Beach/2232-Alton-Rd-33140/home/42789984 Of course we know the address in this case. It´s on the house wall (see another picture below) and you get it displayed of course when you click on the house on Google Earth. It´s 2232 Alton. And if you then enter this address in the google search, then you get plenty of realtor links (zillow, redfin, ...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
