I thought about making a discussion topic about this subject awhile back, and today reading comments in a different topic about Michael Mann having had planned - for season 4 episodes, atleast one or two, set in Paris, France and Tokyo, Japan. What do you think? I personally have an admiration for Japan, the people and culture there, and plan on going backpacking there in future. Now, the idea of a "Miami Vice" episode or two setting in the urban neon jungle counterpart, without the palm trees and flamingos, that is Tokyo - i find it to be an exciting thing. There was talk in that another topic about these episode(s) being Yakuza centered, and i think that this is a fantastic idea - this probably being one of the most likely to-have-happened settings, if Tokyo would have been a city featured and filmed in. I could see atleast Crockett & Tubbs with Castillo ofc going there, and Castillo having, due to his Southeast Asian riddled past, a main focus in the episode(s). Tokyo, circa 1987. Around the time that season 4 was in production and premiered later in September that year. What could have been out of this, if Mann's plans had come through? To what kind of an operation would the men from Miami jumped on, in the "Land of the Rising Sun"*? *Thus the clever topic title, even though Japan in general is a safe and very low crime rate country. Your thoughts? You can also discuss the would-have-been Paris setting here.
