Matt5 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh dear what can I say ...producers / writers must have been on something to come up with this .Saying that interesting locales used - The boat for example where James Brown is based - obviously Key Biscayne or Virginia Key but where exactly that small brick wall around it and rocks interesting :DThe Tropics Motel was based up in North Miami and now demolished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 The only thing I recall about locations in Missing Hours is that the detectives were convinced that the sand dunes scenes in Missing Hours and When Irish Eyes . . . were filmed close to No Name Harbor. I think this is also where the Daytona gets blown to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the house boat is obviously Key Biscayne / Virginia Key too but the small wall/rocks doesnt look like No Name Harbor Merry Christmas Jim:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I just published this episode on my location site. http://www.sffl.comcastbiz.netGood job with a difficult and really strange episode. Not that seeing a UFO is that strange, lots of very respectable and authoritative people have seen them. (I know because I used to work in the National Archives and looked at the Project Blue Book reports numerous times) But the rest of the story is just weird.

airtommy Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm pretty disappointed I never got to see the Virginia Key sand dunes, especially the large pit which is used in When Irish Eyes Are Crying and Missing Hours. Now the area is filling up with trees and bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yes, a special place. Always had a super strong Vice vibe given off by the location while visiting there. One of my favorites. At least you can still visit it even though it is changed it is now open to the public where I use to have to sneak in and avoid the police helicopters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well watching Miami Vice in episode order again and up next was "God's Work" and "Missing Hours " from Season 4. Always quite enjoy "God's Work" just shows how production and some of the glitz was scaled back by the fall of 1987. Here is the former location of The Tropics Motel at 1349 NE109th St in North Miami ( think white light from above!) https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@25.8758477,-80.170144,3a,75y,318.5h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smtW2ziJ4ihdQCKRMRxes6A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1?hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDayWithoutVice Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Hi @all! First I want to apologize for beeing not here for a long time. My priorities where somewhere else for the last months. But thanks to that sad Covid pandemia I have now much time to watch vice :). I watched this unfamous episode yesterday, at first I wanted to skip it but then decided to watch it, because I often skipped it over the last years. As after every episode I've seen, I visited cglide's location site. There I saw that the location for "Astrolife" is not confirmed yet. He wrote that it could be inside the "Grove Harbour Cinema", of which we saw the exterior in the teaser. Well, I don't think this was shot there, because the location where we meet James Brown looked for me like a real planetarium. I thought there can't be too much in the Miami area so I made a few investigations. Finally I found the Miami Science Museum, which got a planetarium in 1966 equipped with a rare Spitz Model B Space Transit Projector. If you search for the projector, it looks very similar to the one we see in the show. I then googled for the planetarium itself, and found these pictures and compared them to screenshots of the episode: The pictures are from this site. If you look at the surrounding of the projector and the seats I'm 100% sure that the "Astrolife" scenes where shot there. Unfortunately the Museum with the planetarium closed in 2015 and was relocated to a new site. At this time it was the last Spitz Model B STB projector still in service. It is now a no operational display at the new museum. The old museum was located at 3280 South Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida, United States. I think the buildings are still intact. I hope cglide can now update this location on his site. Greetings, Andreas Edited April 13, 2020 by NoDayWithoutVice 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a lot of sense and the screenshots comparisons speak for themselves! this was an obvious location choice but I guess I haven‘t even tried to suss it out due to the „quality“ of the episode 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did. Newly found locations have been piling up for months and are begging silently for updates on CGlide’s locations website! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
