Yes but the date(s) he remembers is wrong (they filmed on Tuesday/Wednesday 26/27th August 1986 with the strip club scene on The second day) and not on a Saturday the 2nd, as we have the location call sheet of the day they filmed it further up in this thread.

Here is Marty Fleischman playing the role of the fronton announcer immediately after Tico is hit by the ball:

More detail on the strip club scene location: "Another memorable moment was the “Strip Club Scene.” The script called for the detectives to interview a stripper that had knowledge of a crime involving Tico. After not finding an appropriate place to film, they asked if they could use the player’s recreation area upstairs in the player’s quarters. They would use props to turn it into a strip club. However, there was one major problem. They wanted to shoot during a Saturday night performance where we would have about 7,000 people attending Miami Jai-Alai. The entire player’s quarters is locked and restricted by law. No one was allowed in the player’s area during a performance without special permission from the state authorities. After begging our state official, he relented to allowing minimal personnel in the door that night, mainly from an emergency fire escape entrance. It was amazing. They did turn it into a strip club with about 50 extras, music, lights, etc. I couldn’t believe when I walked from the bench area where the players were waiting to go out on the court, up the stairs, and through the door. I thought I was entering a real strip club, not that I have ever been in one. The packed house of Jai-Alai fans, screaming for their players to win the game and their bets, had no idea that our player’s quarters was doubling as a strip club." http://pelotapress.com/miami-vice-meets-miami-jai-alai-conclusion/

Oh Dadrian! I’m going to have to object. Those slips are side ties, with two boats between the fingers, making his the third slip on that side of the gangway. Might even be the fourth slip but it’s hard to tell.

Haven't really looked around for jackets lately, as I've decided my best bet is to just get the ones I want custom made but I was just looking and found this: https://www.menswearhouse.com/p/paisley-amp-gray-slim-fit-linen-blend-variegated-stripe-sport-coat-tmw-6rpu?CAWELAID=120259610001890283#color=white%26 Kinda reminds me of the one Don wore in "Heart of Darkness": Though once again, these days it's always vertical stripes instead of horizontal. A little outta my price range (at least, for something that isn't exactly the pattern I want), but I'm throwing this out there for any fellow Vicers here that may be interested.

Yep. 2nd slip. Great photo Tom!

It makes me want to watch Red Tape again. Powerful scene!

Miami Bayside 1985. If you watch closely you can see Crockett´s boat on the right side of the picture

Found this interesting blog by Marty Fleischman, that gives insights to how the episode "Killshot" was created. http://pelotapress.com/miami-vice-meets-miami-jai-alai-part-1/ http://pelotapress.com/miami-vice-meets-miami-jai-alai-conclusion/

Somebody said on Twitter/X, eloquent and on point:

Rare photo. Olivia Brown on the set of "Evan," I think.

Oh yeah, Eric is at his best when he plays sleazy disgusting powerful men!

Prodigal son

Mmm ... I had a crush for Madeleine Stowe at that time

I have watched Unlawful Entry(1992) with Kurt Russel, Ray Liotta, Madeleine Stowe. That is quite solid thriller I should say. I really liked it. 10/7 for me easily. Recommended cinema, for those who prefer thrillers over any other genre.
