Thanks for sharing! Have you ever read that “Making of Miami Vice” book? I believe the above is an excerpt from it. It’s available in digital form and very inexpensive. I believe you would enjoy it! I have the old paperback, but the digital version is very handy for the search function alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewRemington Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Thanks for sharing! I’m guessing they are stating the pilot “In the Air Tonight” scene feels like the 1983 remake of “Breathless” and not the 1960 original? I haven’t seen either, myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Thanks for sharing. It was very interesting to read. I own the German translation of the paperback of "The Making of Miami Vice" and found it interesting to read how things had happend back then. This was a new sight of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicefan7777 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Damn good read. Never realized how much of a chance was being taken by putting Don in the lead role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
