mvnyc Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Great pics...I've seen this movie many times, it's a good depiction what Miami Beach was like before it was transformed in the early 1980's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Great pics...I've seen this movie many times' date=' it's a good depiction what Miami Beach was like before it was transformed in the early 1980's...[/quote']Agree, thanks for the pics. I like this movie for many reasons. Not only did it have an influence on the creators of Vice but it's depiction of the worst of the crime wave in Miami is not too far from the truth. For example, my uncle left town after being caught in a crossfire between two rival drug gangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes it is interesting Miami history. I was about six miles away from the FBI shootout on that day teaching at the U. I understand the confusion with Miami Vice filming which was happening that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The McDuffie riots were really bad, almost as bad as some of the LA riots in terms of damage, casualties, and shock to the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
