Great thanks Was that corridor at end in The Sterling Building that was lit pink ?

 

Entrance to the corridor seen (inside  The Sterling Building , Lincoln Road)  at the end of "Knock , Knock....." with the great Ian Mcshane .

As Jeremy mentions - I would think the limo in the end sequence would have be parked here on Michigan/ Lincoln Road

In the opening credits of this February 1987 Season 3 episode you get a nice shot of the Police department in Miami Beach. This I believe is the first of many times we will see this location. Construction ended in early 1987 so Vice were hot of the press and a contuining tradition of using new buildings, hotels and condos. They also liked the North Dade Justice Centre in Season 5 (1988/89) which opened in 1988.

I could have posted these rare pics of Merril Stevens Boatyard in several episode location threads, as it was used in One eyed Jack, Yankee Dollar, Heart of night as well. But I decided that lots of these interior pics were shot exactly where some key scenes of Knock knock ... took place, so I post them here. This is also a saving mission as the this part of the (north) boatyard was torn down recently

Nice pics.  I heard the name of that boat yard a lot as a kid because my mother worked for the US Coast Guard in Miami and she would occasionally talk about contracted them to do minor repairs on Coast Guard vessels.

this is a nice shop plan from 1985/86 when Lincoln Road Mall was revived with many new art galleries and shops. On this plan, we can see where the SoBeIT Art Gallery was where Izzy did his art performance (the entrance at 925 was just right of the entrance to the Sterling Bdg at 927 also shown in this episode) and also the Wet Paint Cafe shown in Vote of confidence, the third neighbor of SoBeIt to the right. The Colony Theater, used in Hit List (exterior) and To have and to hold (interior) is on the far left as well.

This is the complete production rundown of this episode, working title was "We don´t need no stimking badges"

Again, they have filmed but cut three scenes, two of them very disturbing.

We know all locations and the location list at production start stayed valid until the end.

Day 1 Thursday 5 February 1987, filming from 12:00 noon until 10:46pm at the Miami Children´s hospital, all hospital and DEA office scenes.

Flipside says that Grip Phil Green´s car was broken into and a stereo stolen. Otherwise no special occurences.

Day 2, Friday 6 February 1987. Filming 4pm until 3:13 am at Merril Stevens Boatyard. 

Day 3, Monday 9 February 1987, 11:53 am until 9:55 pm at 1235 Club and Miami Police (opening credit scenes). Company move from first to second location 8:45-9:15pm.

Day 4, Tuesday 10 February 1987: filming from 10:27 am until 7:57 pm at Greenwich Studios, OCB scenes and Colby´s apartment that was quite a sophisticated set. They planned to make a 2nd unit exterior establishing shot of The Cavalier on Ocean Drive for the apartment, but it was not used on TV finally.

Day 5 Wednesday 11 February 1987, filming 12:18PM until 9:47 PM at the Cuban coffee shop, then the art gallery and then some "Calle Ocho" scenes an Lincoln Road.

DJ was examined by a doctor and sent home sick.

Day 6, Thursday 12 February, filming 5pm until 4:50 am at art gallery and "Calle Ocho" again.

Day 7, last day, Friday 13 February 1987. filming 5:30 pm until 1:42 AM in Greenwich Studios. 

On this day 3 scenes were filmed that were cut and not aired (proof that they were filmed is in red on daily sheet above). Scene 12 is the first scene after teaser in the script. Castillo has to bail out Crockett&Tubbs from the arrest in the teaser. This scene was probably cut as it is not advancing the story and not really needed.

The other two scenes would have made a difference. Scene 103A/B comes after the miranda reading to Colby at Calle Ocho (that is the end on TV. In the script Crockett tells somebody else to read her rights, on TV he is doing it) and shows how the VICE team is mocking IAD guy Stroh after the successful Montoya bust that proved C&T innocent. Stroh does not give up and threatens Crockett that he will get him some day. 

Then scene 105A was filmed and cut. In the shooting script this would have been the last scene of the episode. Chuck Colby arrives at police parking lot and insults Crockett for having busted his wife. He asks how he and his son are supposed to live without her. I think these two last scenes would have made that ending more spicy. They are not absolutely necessery, but the episode gets a much stronger consequence with it and looks a bit diluted and stripped once you know that they cut both scenes in LA. after filming. 

ENJOY the insights.
