The neon lips seen in front of Sex World in LMD are also seen briefly in the teaser of Streetwise.

And of course they reappeared for no apparent reason on Burn Notice!

The Art Director of Burn Notice told me he and several people who worked on the show were Miami Vice fans.  Some even worked on Vice.  There is little doubt that the lips and similarities in characters, locations, plot elements, dialogue etc were a deliberate nod to Vice.  Vice was the show that started it all and inspired another action/drama/detective type show in Miami.

The one that always sticks out to me is when Stan gets into a drunken bar fight while wearing Sonny's Clothes from Season 1, cant remember the episode name, think its from S4 or S5 but it looks so close to that Tucan style outfit he wears in Smugglers Blues I half wonder if they were reusing the wardrobe from S1 for that, and also theirs one in season 5, Fruit of the Poison Tree  where the bad guy gets knocked into oil wearing I swear is Sonny's outfit from Out Where The busses dont run

like I half wonder if that's why Coop hasnt been able to get it for all these years lol

Tubbs wears this shiny silk Hugo Boss suit a lot in season 3, but Morales also wears it once in “Killshot”. I wanna say at least one other villain wears it in another episode, too, but I can’t recall what episode(s)/season(s).

Art seen in "Free Verse," "French Twist" and "Junk Love."

 

 

The first 2 photos are the same room?

Both are a set at Greenwich Studios. But looks like they used the same created "hospital set," only repainted it. The hallway also looks similar. The last screenshot is also a set.

Some have probably noticed the pink phone in "Phil the Shill" and "French Twist."

Phil on the phone with his pal Cindy. "No Cindy, I don't think Sonny or Rico are gonna to take you to the prom." :)

We first see this shirt on DeMarco when he’s about to sign the papers to help Vice nail Lombard. Here it is at Gen. Lao Li’s house as he warns his people to break no laws.

Guzman's Lotus Esprit re-appears just the next episode (notice the absence of a license plate in "Cuba Libre")

Same t-shirt.

MIAMI VICE (TV) - James Crockett (Don Johnson) white tuxedo style jacket and Henley t-shirt | The Golden Closet

same character doesn't count :checkbox: Main characters have worn the same stuff all over again. Switek's been wearing the same green patterned shirt half of S3

That is some hospital ! After “Baby Blues” from Season 3 they then used to using real hospitals around the Miami area  - starting with “Theresa” then “Knock Knick...Who’s There?”  through the end of the series. Many different hospitals were used.

I’m confused. All those pics were before Season 3, and I’ve always understood those Season 2 hospitals to be sets.

Yes indeed - all Season 2 hospitals were sets... I was just giving additional info about after Season 3, “Baby Blues” in particular.

However they did use Jackson Memorial Hospital an actual hospital in the Season 2 premiere “Profigsl Son” which was not a set.
