S.FL84 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Maybe...just maybe it'll finally happen. The time is right, DJ is onboard. If it does happen hopefully they won't F it up and recast w/ nobody(s). Original cast or don't ever bother! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think if there was going to be a reboot they should have thought about it in the early 2000s. Its too late. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted December 21, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Yeah as much as we all say we’d like to see it happen, deep down I think we all know it could never be the same. Leave well enough alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Calderon Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Never achieve the same success of Miami vice today. Okay, maybe. But, would nash achieve the same success today and, even só, they did a nb reboot? I dont Care, i would like to see DJ and pmt together again, even for a 20 minutes talk show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Hanna Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Maybe it's too late... but 80 year old Jean-Luc Picard is still running around beating guys up, so why not Crockett and Tubbs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vigilante Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 They could've gone the "Hunter" route and made a couple of tv movies. Maybe that would've generated enough excitement to bring the show back for another season. Problem was, DJ was busy with Nash Bridges. Plus, late 90s culture was so far removed from the vibe of "Vice" it would've probably felt like a different show. I say 90s because I really can't see it going more than a decade after the original run. I agree that it wouldn't work today. I also don't want to see a reboot/remake with different actors. But hey....they've brought back "Saved by the Bell" and "Cobra Kai", so who knows! Nostalgia, even when cringe-worthy, sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicefan7777 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 A 2 hour movie with the original cast would be fine with me, but even I don't think a reboot would work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I feel the same as almost everyone who made a comment here, but I totally agree with Mr. Calderon. They did make a Nash Bridges movie and it some disappointments, especially with Cheech, but I felt DJ was in great form. His humor & energy in the action scenes gave me much enjoyment and I believe in a Miami Vice movie... he & Philip Michael Thomas as a team can make the movie a success! As Mr. Calderon said, " I would like to see DJ and PMT together again, even for a 20 minute talk show. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Too late. Sad but true. Time is over for that. (My personal opinion). DJ says it perfectly. MV was a zeitgeist product, hinged on the role of Miami in the 80s and a certain culture that does not exist anymore. You cannot contemporize that as with other shows. Think about the music alone. You could not even find any good current music for incidental scenes apart from disco stuff. They could have rebooted 15-20 years after, not 30+. Don&others are in good shape, but 70+ already. "Golden Boys" maybe, but not MV. C´mon. What could Don and PMT credibly play in a reboot? Crockett&Tubbs as retired consultants 30+years after they quit their jobs and went to NY/the Caribbean? Better no reboot than a bad one (e.g. with new charismaless actors like in "Magnum") that will do more damage to the "franchise" than the crappy MM movie called "Miami Vice".

Kladdagh Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think Miami Vice vibes were perfect in the 80's ... Look at the movie ... The vibes were differents ... So, It doesn't match anymore. God knows I wanted to see a follow up of the series and see Crockett & Tubbs (and the team) one time again but, unfortunatly, I think it is too late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one-off tv/direct video movie w/ the original cast. No one said the Hawaii Five-O would work but it's been renewed season after season, the same for MPI and in 1984-85 MV was waaay hotter than either of those shows. There's just so little if any original good shows on TV nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Calderon Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I Just think Don killed any reboot doing a nb First. I understand hes in the Control and etc, but really icônic is vice. Iknow nash had more Seasons and etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodie Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yeah, can't blame him though - he's fought for years with that property to get what's his with it back. Only natural that he's doing what he wants with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel just the fact that DJ & PMT worked so well together & we as fans felt cheated when one of them was missing from an episode, tells me at least a Miami Vice 2 hr. movie would certainly be as successful & enjoyable as the Nash Bridges one was!

Vincent Hanna Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Could they have done a theatrical movie in the 80s after season 2, similar to the Batman '66 movie? The show would've ended on a great note, but then I guess they would've been worried about not having enough episodes for syndication.

Gotta agree! The producers went Crazy focusing only on SC. Throwing away their chemistry. This is what really makes me pist about Vice.

Vincent Hanna Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think someone could pull off a crime drama follow up to Miami Vice if they were passionate about it. There's been similar recent shows/movies like Narcos or Sicario. Imagine the main character kinda like the protagonist in Mindhunter. Crockett would be the cool older dude and the dynamic would be like Sean Connery and Nick Cage in "The Rock". Crockett, Tubbs & Castillo would be supporting characters. Cashing in on 80s nostalgia is popular right now so it's probably the perfect time to do it, especially with so many streaming services. It wouldn't be endless call backs to MV. It'd be a brand new 13-episode story where we catch up with characters we love after 30 years, They'd be after some drug kingpin dude, It'd be cinematic and maybe has some cool montages/car chases/boat chases with contemporary music. It's seems like it'd be harder to screw up than it would be to do it right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
