This one is a big deal to me. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi everybody! Am a long-time Miami Vice fan from Australia, and previously a sometime lurker on this site thought now would be a good time to make it official and join. Am looking forward to interacting with you all. Many thanks for the warm welcome too, much appreciated!

Whoever asked himself how DJs stunt double, Bobby Foxworth, looked like - here is a rare frontal shot of him in an episode (he can be spotted quite clearly in Home Invaders, Miracle Man and One way ticket, Lost madonna, but mostly from behind or from a distance). This was filmed in Club Pizzazz in Ft.Lauderdale for "Better living for chemistry, but briefly used in "Rock and a hard place". Next to it is a picture together with DJ to compare. There is a funny story about their similarity: DJ said once when he met Foxworth the first time face-to-face he simply was stunned and said: "Where the heck do you come from?". Bobby Foxworth learnt a lot from Paul Nuckles the original stunt supervisor on the show. When Paul retired in season five, Foxworth took over until the end of the show. P.S. Foxworth and DJ had the same height, weight, hair color and clothes sizes. Whenever the team ordered wardrobe for DJ, they orderer 4 pieces. 1 for DJ, 1 as back-up and 2 for the stuntman. A huge distinctive factor between both men is their walk and the slightly different hairstyle/missing curls from Foxworth especially in season 5´s hair. Foxworth has a walk with more "hanging arms" and the head a bit bent forward which makes it easy to identify him in scenes like One way ticket (arrest of Faber), Lost Madonna (walking outside of Collonade entrance) and Miracle Man (teaser). The hair difference is obvious in "Hell hath no fury" ("C"&T carry Trudy back into Ellen´s apartment), Lost madonna ("Crocket" counting money in the Colonade hotel) just to quote a few. In "Home invaders" he drives Crockett´s Ferrari in slow motion vis a vis the Sasson Hotel which was the most obvious flaw in concealing stunt man participation. P.P.S. Foxworth worked on a MV script with a Crockett look-alike dealer. DJ was interested but that idea never came to life.

Pretty girl but she looked better in "Predator"

WELCOME ABOARD TO A FELLOW FLORIDIAN. MARTIN SAYS HI, THIS IS HIS HAPPY FACE.

I'm still trying!

I know what you mean. I am from Austria and I often gotta answer questions about our kangaroos

Yeah, that!

Looked lovely in “Freefall” also as Rico’s love interest again.

This song fitted so perfectly in that scene at Traynor's place in "Rites of Passage" sort of sleazy and nightmarish. Great song.

Welcome! There is obviously more mutuality between Melbourne and Miami than just the first letter!

I thought Gina and Trudy ran down the masks with the funny guy at the gag shop.

It is! I am glad you got there first this time

So much for bringing MV to life 35 years after! Great version and as close to JH as it can get, but with a slightly different twist in the second half that resonates your personal approach to it! I liked the inserted instrument explanation too! I scored myself long time ago (Tim Truman tunes I tried) and this brings back memories....

Love it ... Thankyou.

not the diet coke...the Champagne of Jan Hammer - Grand Cru!

Great as always. I do love the Tubbs & Valerie themes.

If you haven't read her blog go here: A http://preppiesoftheapocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/01/ten-things-that-make-miami-vice-awesome.html As airtommy wrote- she gets Vice. Good comments. Don't always agree but that is what makes life interesting. She is now reviewing 80s movies on her Youtube channel but not the ones I suggested yet.

Evan‘s law says if you are wrong this time you’ll get 10 stills from the last Freefall scene next to guess as compensation

We can’t all be first!!

Every time I watch Prodigal Son, when I hear the various isolated tracks from Jan Hammer’s NY Theme throughout the episode, I’m completely washed over by how great that song really is. Truly amazing work!
