Yep I heard of them, but I thought they are more into petty larceny than photography :p

Well Izzy is practically into anything. Remember he photographed beautiful women in S3. :):D

Today I visited Turnberry Isle Marina in Aventura where they filmed a lot of Part 1. Jeremy was of course right this meeting scene was filmed at Turnberry Isle but not at the North Tower, however the exact location is just opposite in the Marina office area (where Phil pulls up to in “Phil the Shill” at the end of the drive scene with Sara). I recognised it immediately and my last visit here I looked all over the grounds in the North Tower. Really only possible to find this on the ground.

Nice find Matt!!

Thankyou Jim - nice to find this exact location and take recreation shots, unchanged pretty much since the fall of 1984.

Hard to believe how time flies - that episode was shot 35 years ago!

Thanks Matt, goes to show that some spots can only be found with old fashioned shoe leather.

Sonny likes it also: 22308844_10155059377131527_8503725466926802109_n.jpg.c71769d48bb60d22838c8c5dcd4f61d5.jpg

Great Jim - love this. This is Don from “Freefall” behind the scenes.

Love it!!!

Yes it’s behind the scenes taken at Greenwich Studios in North Miami - Don wore that brown linen jacket only in “Freefall” - Miami Vice goes out with a bang! 10/10.

After spending some extended time at Turnberry Isle Marina this year and studying the scenes closely in this episode, I can now confirm the following - the hotel scenes in “Golden Triangle” (Pt 1) were filmed at both The Key Biscayne Hotel, 701 Ocean Drive and the Turnberry Isle North Tower.

Previously Jeremy had listed all the scenes being shot at Turnberry  - but I can break down the following of the Turnberry and previously thought Turnberry scenes.

1. After the Turnberry Isle North Condo set up shot the rest of the Teaser is shot at The Key Biscayne Hotel (see pictures below to see the same area we saw in “Out Where the Buses Dont Run”)

2. Exterior pool shots -Turnberry Isle North Tower as known.

3. The beginning of the car tail scene ( Crockett and Tubbs tailing dirty cops) was shot at entrance/ forecourt of The Key Biscayne Hotel.

4. The interior where Candy was working was also the Key Biscayne Hotel. Seen as part of the Ocean Club in “OWTBDR”.

5. Interior parking garage (Crockett, Tubbs, Candy open car trunk) - Turnberry Isle North garage - ground floor (from entrance to water)

6. Night external driveway meet (Crockett slaps dirty cops) - Forecourt of the Turnberry Isle Marina offices. As I posted here a few months ago.

Points 1,3,4 all were thought to be Turnberry previously. Of course additionally to this there was a scene shot at the Sunny Days Motel on Biscayne Bvld. @C Glide

Not veer off here, but has anyone noticed that above the “walls” of that safe deposit box desk, there appears to be kind of a different wall at the top—almost like this was built in some room or something? Maybe even a set?

I've always thought it looked weird.  I'll look at it tonight.  CGlide was the expert on spotting sets.

This was filmed in the parking deck which is between the Turnberry North Tower and South Tower.  Hardly changed in 35 years.

This ep starts with a setup shot of the Turnberry condo.  This setup shot is reused in many other episodes.

Sadly, it is no longer possible to get a perfect re-creation of that original shot.  They are renovating these condos.  One change is to remove the old balcony railing and replacing it with a clear wall.  This will change the look of the building quite a bit.    In my pic below,  at the far left is the old railing and on the far right is the new railing.
