A couple of months ago I posted a thread asking for Miami Vice filming locations as I was headed to Miami for a few days and many of you were very helpful, thank you! So I thought I'd share this video I made while I was there. Enjoy!

It was such a buzz, being in Miami for the first time and then seeing these places. The first night I was there I got to my apartment, looked out of the window and there was Miami Tower, all lit up (it was dark) and I was like, 'Definitely Miami'.

Nice angle and the other rear door we don’t see in “Yankee Dollar” or in other scenes in this1986 episode.

Rickenbacker Causeway to Virginia Key and Key Biscayne, circa 1947.

I was only 99% sold on this location. I was considering Haulover Park as another possibility. I went to Virginia Key and took a photo: I still wasn't sold. You can see the parking lot in my shot but not in the Vice shot. My camera is higher than the Vice camera and the Vice shot has much more zoom, so maybe that's a reason. Or maybe not So then I looked at the entire clip again and now I'm 100% convinced it's Rickenbacker/Arthur Lamb Road. Notice the white sign here. That's the back of the "Virginia Key Beach" sign we see in the "Down For the Count" screenshot above. Also, you can match up the short palm trees in both scenes as well.

Hi everyone, my Name is Jürgen, i am 42 years old and i live in Nürnberg, Germany. How did i come to Miami Vice? Well i guess, it all started when i was 8 or 9 years old. My Parents let me watch TV with them sometimes. And on one of these Evenings there was this Show called Miami Vice running. I liked it then, it was a Police Show, it had cool Cars and nice dialogues. I did not think that much about it over the years and almost forgot about it, but then i bought the Box off Amazon and started watching it again. I mean i was always a TV-Show Fan and most Stuff i like is from the 80's Era. So it was only natural that Miami Vice would be on the list. The Reason for Buying the Box was a rather odd one. I own a DeLorean since nearly 20 years, and part of owning the car is being around in different DeLorean Communities on Facebook etc. And one guy came up with this short Video Clip from Miami Vice, Episode Glades. There were a few DeLoreans in the Scene when Crocket and Tubbs arrive in the Glades. And then i remembered my Childhood, and i went and bought the Box. I started watching and i thought, well i don't have a Daytona or in that case any other Ferrari, but i have an iconic 80s Car, sort of and so i started to look for old Jackets from the 80's, Trousers, Shoes that look a like in Style at least etc. Over the Time i was able to get some Clothings from a Miami Vice Clothing Collection that was around in the 80 s in Germany, i found a few Sun Glasses and Stuff and so i startet dressing like it occasionally. And well, here i am, i was on this Site actually pretty often before i decided to join because you can find a lot of Infos and visual references here. And since i don't just want to be some guy who drops by anonymous every time i decided to register myself. And so, here i am, reporting for Duty To great times.

I think you guys all need to chill out a bit. Fashion is in the eye of the beholder as far as I'm concerned. Wear what you want and stop busting each others balls about it! Besides, like I said before, this guy started the trend in 1931!

I can't believe no one mentioned Helena Bonham Carter aka Theresa, I must have misread or something

I'm amazed that you can remember these scenes. I don't remember any of this. I studied the "Amen... Send Money" scene and that is also in the locker hallway. Rico is next to the lockers. Those people in the background are walking into the main OCB room. The "Accounting" doorway is also "203" and that leads directly into the OCB kitchen. In some scenes when the camera is in or around Castillo's office looking towards the kitchen, the door is open and you can see that "Women" bathroom sign.

@Smuggler's Blues Great video! All your locations are correct, as far I can tell. Congratulations on that wonderful journey. One more thing: I believe that little Burger King at the corner of the courthouse (across from Starbucks) is where Sonny is getting a hotdog from the street vendor when Sloan pulls up in the Corvette. The recessed entrance has looked virtually the same for at least 35 years now.

Brill video. Thanks! I wasn't driving a Ferrari when I was there in the past. From the looks of it I'd like to.

Yes it must be that one. I remember a long OCB corridor scene with the new candy and soda machines.

@Matt5 you think about "Amen...Send Money".

Great post airtommy - What about the early Season 4 episode where C&T walk along a long corridor perhaps two corridors where the Candy and soda machines take Sonny’s money as a subtle gag. I can’t remember the exact episode - I think the Candy machines were introduced in the corridors at the beginning of Season 4.

Right episode, wrong character.

Very Vicey feel.

I overlooked this post from last year. TMTL - they are in the locker room hallway and head to the back hallway but we don't see it. CP - no hallways. My recollection had been that Castillo first enters the OCB in "One Eyed Jack" through the 206 doorway, but that was wrong, he comes in through the double doors near the lockers.

Finally all this medical research has paid off:

Hello all, some of you might remember me from long ago - I missed you. I was watching the news and when I heard about the situation in the USA I thought about giving my advice to those fellow vicers from there - and the others as well. Coming from the country with the highest number of deaths worldwide, even more than in China, what I want to tell you is: please do not underestimate the situation, like we actually did at the beginning. When Covid-19 started on February 21st we had a “lighter” lockdown but even though the WHO and EU praised what we did, it wasn’t enough. The total lockdown from March 8th to April 3rd (might be extended to 15th) will probably be the key to success, but it’s still too early to say. I now live in a ghost town and the eerie silence is interrupted only by the sirens of the ambulances. I work from home and I go out only once a week, queuing up outside a supermarket sometimes also for one hour, until it’s my turn to enter to buy food. We have received help directly from China, they sent over tons of equipment and many doctors. We have set up field hospitals in the hospitals’ parking lots and fair pavilions. Retired doctors have been recalled to help medical staff in their endless shifts. The Army controls the city’s strategic points and Police patrol the streets: you get fined or even reported if you’re outside without a valid reason, i.e. to buy food or medicines. After more than one month we’re still struggling: every day 5000+ people get infected and 700+ people die. It’s not over yet, so stay safe and above all please STAY AT HOME.

I'm with you Sonny. Here's one of my favorite pics, natural not a glamour or publicity shot.

maybe I'm reposting an older thread but still a nice video to see for the upcoming day
