Remington Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Another I'm mixed on. The first 20 minutes are great. Love the Izzy stripper scene. Just realized Manny was on the drums. And i like the scene of Tubbs being chased by the cops. I aint too big on prison flicks, with the exception of Shawshank. So the remainder of the episode, apart from Laurence Fishburne and the finale isn't really my thing. Love the scene with Trudy as Tubbs wife. Great music. Surprise surprise. 7/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlehead Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Excellent episode, I always like stories dealing with corruption and prison dynamics. The ending is quite memorable! "Are you giving me my comb!?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) This is a very good episode and very different to any other Miami Vice episode seen in Season 1 and 2. The show in these early Season 3 episodes is tougher, less fluffy, Crockett is focused, Tubbs is tough and Castillo looks meaner than ever. Just great. It is shot beautifully with dark colors of blue, greens and purples. This one is definately not style over substance - a good story. It’s a strong Tubbs episode then in the last 10 minutes becomes a Castillo episode! 10/10 Edited September 7, 2019 by Matt5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I wonder if they got the idea for the police car chase from the Longest Yard, because everything I see it reminds me of Burt Reynolds trying to get away from the cops, like he wants to get arrested. Kind of similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebax Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Let's see, the overall episode isn't too appealing, but it has some details.. -Psycho Cybernetics (my fav. book) spotted in Carl's library. -Switek seems to use a Famas (or a similar king of gun), Castillo uses the explosion as an Smoke Grenade and Kellar picks up a shotgun that looks like a Leone. I love CS 1.6 so it brought me some memories -Castillo is great -Neon lights in the first half of the episode. My motto is "Pastels at day, neon at night". -Dalton Cathey looked like my old man. On the downside, the moment when Tubbs jumps behind Kellar... worst edit ever. The whole episode has edition problems. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vigilante Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I watched this again recently and forgot about the horrible edit at the end. Also, Ron Perlman looked like Will Ferrell with a mustache. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadrian Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Does anyone else ever think of the Van Damme movie “Death Warrant” when you watch this episode? There are so many parallels! As a child in the 80s, Van Damme movies were a big deal. Edited March 9, 2021 by Dadrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieGlide Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 I don’t know Death Warrant but by the title alone, it sounds like a must! By the way, for Valentine’s Day my girlfriend gave me a card and used Miami Vice episode titles to write how she thought of me. Hilariously, she wrote there would be no “Walk Alone” so w we are together. I explained to her how brilliant it was and how funny that the episode is actually pretty dark and takes place in a prison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViceFanMan Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm sorry but this just is not an episode I care much for. The beginning was pretty good...the MV-colored club, the wild action & the tragedy of Tubbs’ girlfriend Laura getting killed in the crossfire...then it goes straight to hilarious, with Izzy as a stripper, while his whacked-out side-kick Manny plays the drums! But, the rest of the episode is nothing but your standard prison-saga. I'm sorry but I don't like prison storylines with anything...TV or movies, and I swear every cop/detective show from the 60s through the 90s had to do a "prison" episode (along with a boxing one)...like it was a pre-requisite or something. A few examples I can think of off the top of my head are: original Hawaii Five-0 did at least 2 if not more, Knight Rider, Charlie's Angels did two, Matt Houston, Hunter, etc...etc... All of those shows are some of my all-time favorites, but I just don't like the ‘prison plot’. It’s all the same thing...some illegal crap is going on in the prison, one or a few of the main stars have to go in undercover as prisoners to stop it, they of course get found out, and the rest of the good guys have to come in and save them. Major overdone, predictable, obvious, and boring! The music, however, was pretty awesome and the guest-stars...talk about a very young, and a very thin Laurence Fishburne , along with Ron Perlman, Kevin Coway, etc... I also liked some of the action at the end with Castillo. But, other than those few aspects, this episode (along with "Everybody's In Showbiz") is probably one of my least favorite of the season. I originally gave it a 4....but with the cool beginning, I could probably bump it up to a 4.5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
