Sonny-Burnett Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 He's also coming to Volo Illinois at the Auto Museum on October 17th of this year to do a meet and greet, alongside the now confirmed Car #1 Daytona from the Series. Think I need to plan a trip up north to meet him and see the Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summer84 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 "Miami Vice Actor and Car owner of the Ferrari Daytona Spyder, Michael Talbott shares with us a story about the time he was on set filming a episode for Miami Vice and he was in the Ferrari Daytona going top speed and almost being thrown out of the car after hitting a jump." Hmm... I don't recall Switek ever in the Daytona. Could this have been during a break on set? I remember even Izzy been driven in it with Sonny and Gina, but not Switek.

Hmm... I don't recall Switek ever in the Daytona. Could this have been during a break on set? I remember even Izzy been driven in it with Sonny and Gina, but not Switek. Interesting observation, as I can't place him in the Daytona either. In fact, Tubbs is only seen driving it twice that I recall. In the link in MT's FB page (http://www.generationauto.tv/auction) they/he said MT rode in it in the 3rd ep of S1, which would be Cool Runnin' and I can't place him in the car there: "One scene I will never forget that involved the Daytona, was in episode 3 of the first season, I was in the passenger seat and Don Johnson’s stuntman was driving. We were going about 80mph, hit a bump and went airborne…I was not strapped into the passenger seat and was ejected almost completely out of the car! The director thought it added some excitement to the shot. If you slow down the video, you can see me almost go right over the windshield! It gave me a scare, but I sure loved the car." At least the Seller is not claiming to have one of the Show cars now, as we originally were concerned about. But why does Generation Auto ( the Seller) claim "Miami Vice Actor and Car owner of the Ferrari Daytona Spyder"? Maybe they titled it in MT's name to increase value.

But why does Generation Auto ( the Seller) claim "Miami Vice Actor and Car owner of the Ferrari Daytona Spyder"? Maybe they titled it in MT's name to increase value. Yeah I noticed that too. In fact there is a scene, that fits with Talbott's description of the Daytona experience in episode 4, Calderone's return part 1. It's the scene where Tubbs and Gina are in the Daytona rushing to save Crockett. The reason I noticed this scene was because, I had always wondered whether it really was PMT and Saundra in the car. "If you slow down the video, you can see me almost go right over the windshield!" - (Quote from your post). And you indeed can in the episode 4, but that's not Michael Talbott. Because it's a night scene, it's hard to see, who is in the driver seat, but in the passenger seat, to me it looks like a woman. I think Saundra Santiago was in the car. I don't know if there are similar scenes with the car in other episodes of season 1, but this the one, that I could remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Ya I've noticed that Michael's memory about the series is not that great when it comes to locations or episodes. Understandable, its been a while. I'm still a huge fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) That night driving scene in Calderone's Return is supposed to be Gina and Tubbs but it actually is a reused sequence with Crockett behind the wheel..so he is coming to his own rescue. I can't recall Switek ever driving in the Daytona. And to your point about who was in the car, I wonder now if the person who actually made the quote referring to going over the windshield was actually Saundra Santiago because the driver likely was DJ's stunt double as the car was moving at high speed and going airborne over bumps as the quote implies.

summer84 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am not a hundred percent sure, but I have looked at the reused footage and to me it looks like a woman in the passenger seat. So maybe Michael Talbott is in fact referring to this particular scene, only with the wrong person in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also got confused about some beach locations filmed for The Pilot and "The Great McCarthy" but a great guy and still a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab KV Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 He told the story the day we were at Volo. He said they were shooting stock footage and needed someone in the passenger seat. Zooming in on the footage, it looks like it could be him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer84 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 After having looked at the night scene again in "Calderone's return part 1," it now also looks to me like Talbott in the Daytona. But I guess we won't really know until maybe a Blu-ray release. At least I am glad, that the mystery is sort of solved, because I have really wanted to know this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that sequence again the other day on NBC and could not make out anything on the passenger side. And from this it does look like Switek. So he was right about this, though not the particular filming episode, unless the sequence was filmed at the time during Cool Running.

I watched that sequence again the other day on NBC and could not make out anything on the passenger side. On the smaller screen shot, I increased the exposure and brightness. The bigger one, where Switek is almost ejected, is untouched. I noticed CGlide doing this for difficult location-hunting night-time shots, so I looked at my Mac and found these color adjustments are available when I open any picture with "Preview". I assume the same thing can be done with a Windows PC. Also, you have to go frame by frame. Sometimes only one or two frames in a given camera shot have a good view of what you want to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
