I don’t know, but...

His hair at the back end of 3 was a mess. I have always wondered who decision was it to get rid of his cool hairstyle we saw in season 1 & 2, and then change it for a mullet? From this to that - He looked so much cooler in the first 2.

Crockett's struggling with the barber closures during the covid lockdown too huh? I feel you, it's almost over.

Why? No that’s not the name of the film, I was just asking the question. And I’ll second AndrewRemington above..

I really love this episode. Everything is A+/Four Stars/Aces. This one plays much like a thriller movie. I wish they would have made this a two hour episode, I wish it played longer. Whenever I watch it, I don’t want it to end. I’ll usually rewind and rewatch parts to stretch it out. It’s so different than anything previous to it. Even the scenes with seeing Castillo in the parking lot and Castillo meeting Crockett at that diner.. They just feel WAY different than regular Vice. Crockett putting the flour on his face and becoming more in-tune with the Shadow... Wow, this is really something else! Of course I also really love Jan Hammer’s music, very creepy with the guitar fret squeaks and the DX7 tubular bells. I know this has been debated before, but there really is no clear point we know isn’t dream. We know The Shadow being questioned at the end is a dream as that’s when Crockett wakes up... But when did he start dreaming? Some people have very strong ideas/opinions, but I think with this episode it’s all up to the viewer’s interpretation.

Some of my music has been posted in the thread “Songs that should’ve been played on VICE”. I hope it’s not too much of a shameless promotion to start my own thread, but I think most of us on here love 80’s music. I try to make music that sounds very authentically 80’s, even down to the cover artwork. I have a lot of influences, but I still think my music is very original and true to myself. I play everything recorded, synthesizers, guitar, bass guitar, drum machine and vocals. One of the songs “I Wanna Be Your Dog” is a cover, but the others are written by me. I would appreciate any feedback, and invite any comments or subscribes on YouTube! Thanks!

Correct! I forgot about that one.

Correct! There's something you don't see every day. If you look at the pic from the bottom up, everything's great until you reach the neck.

that's pretty dang fine stuff, buddy! Keep it comin' pal, it instantly flashes me back to 1985

This is what I posted recently regarding some “wallpaper” pics posted about this episode: (Amazing, creepy, chilling, yet captivating & fascinating episode...remember watching this one when it originally aired—on Halloween night, no less! I was spending the night at a friend’s house and in the “stereotypical” fashion it was storming outside. Later, after we tried to go to bed & the lightning would flash I’d look out their big family room window...and I kept thinking, if I see fish-mouth with flour all over his face looking in at us I will die of heart failure right there in my sleeping bag! What truly makes this episode frightening, however, is that it’s based on a true story from the Miami area several years before! ) As for “dreams” in the episode...from what I’ve read from other members regarding the actual scripts, the meeting scenes with Crockett & Castillo were not dreams—they were reality in the episode...if you can even include the idea of “reality” with this one , as I think the whole thing is supposed to be way different than the MV-norm. It was a “nightmarish” case & situation, and not the usual run-of-the-mill drug deal or prostitute bust. Therefore, the whole “style” is like one long, bizarre nightmare (and masterfully & effectively done )...and subsequently some read more into it than what actually was. The only actual dream or nightmare I can think of in the episode was when Sonny fell asleep at his desk & dreamed he was out in the neighborhood searching, and “Shadow”/Fish-Mouth jumped over a wall at him.

This is Guliini (sp?) in “Down for the Count II” but he says “diddle” with other other people’s property.

This is one of the keys to life, Young Man.

"Less Than Zero" At the time it was almost Robert Downey Jr.'s real life story.

If Jan was advised to go even darker with his cues, more than "Shadow In the Dark" and "Little Miss Dangerous" say he would have did it much better than Truman. I found Tim Truman's background score music to be too much like arena rock, something out of a ballad and the guitar sounds were overstated and a tad corny. Jan's music had so much depth, like it was Vangelis or Tangerine Dream. We had a composer who was more than good enough to compose for Blade Runner. We lost a musical genius who was capable of creating any sound for a particular scene no matter what it was, comical, dark, tense or exciting.

All the CD’s?

All gone, My Friend. Thanks!

I wish the Jennifer of 1991 was my girl...but wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which hand gets full first. And it's really sad but she later lost her amazing curves and got really skinny which is tragic. Still, we'll always have the '90s Jennifer to cherish. The Hot Spot stars Don Johnson. It's a very underrated movie and I think it's great and the best DJ movie.

Wow. Jennifer was incredible back then. One of the most beautiful women ever. Her amazing beauty was also captured in The Hot Spot and Career Opportunities.

I already had a phobia as a kid of someone breaking into our house....needless to say, this episode DID NOT help! Might have been an interesting scenario to revisit in a later season. Strange break-ins start happening resembling this case. OCB discovers Gilmore was released from the institution making the episode more of a "who-done-it?"

I think the season 3 wardrobe fits it way better though. Certainly the content is season 1 worthy in darkness and substance.

I’d heard of the drink, but hadn’t seen that product. Good stuff? Certainly never saw that CD. Now why would someone want to cover Miami Vice music?
