Dadrian Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 here's the cap. i can't remember if i got this from florence italy or not, though.Here is one of Miami's well known landmarks. I heard the sign has been recreated but don't remember seeing it on my last trip. It probably appears in more than one episode. Give me one and the scene.

airtommy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think they drive by it in the car chase in "Florence, Italy". Was it on Biscayne Blvd originally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 You guys got it. You see it better before the chase in the Florence Italy teaser. I remember it on the W. side of Biscayne Blvd. It is back in it's old neighborhood at 7300 Biscayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that's where the sign is today, but it was originally in downtown Miami, on the side of a building just south of the old Miami News building which today is known as the Freedom Tower.Look at the screen capture from "Killshot" below. This is on the roof of the Omni parking garage, looking south. The Freedom Tower is visible in the background. You will have to squint a little, but the building to the left, or south, shows the Coppertone sign.[img'']http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c341/DanFoto/Miami%20Vice/003414.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 There is a surprisingly long Wiki page for the Coppertone sign. The sign was intended to be put up near the 5400 block of Biscayne Blvd, but for some reason they ended up installing it downtown at 530 Biscayne Blvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yes, the old sign ( seen in "Florence Italy " ) was actually on the Parkleigh Hotel on Biscayne Bvld ,on the street corner, now sadly gone like so many MV landmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 yes Matt but this is one they brought back- amazing.Where am I? I am in the spot occupied by an extra in this scene but the color and function of this room has changed since Vice. The marble remains the same. DanJ and airtommy know the answer.

You can tell I am running out of photos to post on Location Trivia. Richie Rich posted some great ones but hopefully someone else will post some pics.Here's another one.

Maria714 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 No guesses?In what episode and scene do we see a Vice character here in the same location?It's Sonny, for sure. He goes for a cafecito cubano, and ends of beating this poor chap. But I, for the life of me, can't remember anything else.And this is creepy, and you will understand why when you see your PM's.

DanJ & Kristina for the answer. I knew that it was Sonny, who had stopped by for a cafecito cubano & beat the daylights out of that guy, but could not for the life of me remember the episode. It was driving me absolutely insane.Thank You Both!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This building appears in night driving scenes in two episodes.This was "Deliver us from Evil" which was recycled footage from "French Twist". NE125th St/Biscayne Bvld.Wasnt one of the restaurants seen in these clips also featured on the "Golden Triangle (Pt 1)" Montage of Chinese Restaurants.

In FT they show the Cadillac turning the corner and coming down Biscayne a short way. In DUFE the same footage shows the Cadi turning the corner and traveling down Biscayne all the way to 123rd Street. It's quite likely that one of the restaurants seen in this clip was used in Golden Triangle, it isn't that far from the studio. I just watched GT and didn't recognize it. It would help to know the addresses of the Oriental restaurants in GT. Maybe DanJ knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks Jim. I believe it is in the "Deliver Us From Evil" shot ( longer shot) that we see the Golden Triangle Restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
