it gives me such inspiration, Miami, the daytona, romance, night, 80s, all the weather around this scenes is amazing, really special show! Sadly, much scenes showed tragedy, but the romantic music still fits it perfectly, its crazy, MV had lots of scenes like this, "Rites of passage", "Sons and Lovers", and other episodes
Don´t get me wrong - the whole show was PERFECT from start to the end! But what would it have been without all the contributions from all the epic musicans / bands / Jan Hammer? Music is a vital part of this show. Absolutely perfect in every single episode.
I couldn't agree with you more. I'm 51 and when Miami Vice was at it's hottest in '85 and '86, I ALWAYS tuned in on Friday nights before hitting the streets with my friends. Miami Vice defined my youth... A much better time in my life the same as you. No bills, no worries, not a care in the world. My biggest problem in the 80's was what excuse to give a girl if I was on the phone with her and another girl called :-)
I loved how they used a song with a romantic tone to portray something that isn't romantic but is quite tragic. Only MV could do that with great cynicism and a nihilistic approach to filming. Neo noir I suppose?!
That sums up MV pretty nicely. Despite the misleading superficial glitter, the show was quite gritty for its time and had a realistic view of the so called 'war on drugs', money laundering and involvement of alphabet agencies and Wall Street in the trade way before it became popular. In the 80s, the fiction was dominated by a naive/infantile view of good vs. bad, a recycling of the 50s. IMO, that is why most criminals in MV are gunned down as if producers/writers were displaying their lack of trust in the corrupt system's ability to mete out justice. Also, the show ended with Crockett & Tubbs realising the futility of their efforts against the biggest enemy, the government itself, and walking away. The show had a clear Dirty Harry outlook as opposed to say Hill Street Blues which many people at the time mistakenly viewed as a 'realistic' cop show. It was actually your average soap staged in a precinct setting.
Hit the nail on the head. I remember watching the episode where Valerie's sister was murdered and hearing "I Want to Know Where Love Is" as the soundtrack to that scene, being wholly frozen and heartbroken. I can't listen to that song without thinking about that scene. I can't think of another show that matched their soundtracks up this well.
I agree with you about the permed hairstyles. The fashion and hair of the 80's and 90's was where it was at. I still get that from some people I meet today and I quote "wow your clothes and hair look very 80's". Huge compliment I must say 🙂 Best times and Best era ever! 💗
Video cuts off right at a great exchange, as the doctor confronts Sonny: "I know you don't wanna hear this, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to notify the proper authorities" "You already have."
I like how they put that blonde broad in saying flirtaitiously " Are those for me?" LOL like Crockett is so cool broads just throw themselves at him.. Best show ever and I love this song too
The female flirting reminds me of women stating I should smile more. A lot of females were once kind as such in the 80" and 90", not so anymore with the metoo movement.
OMG! Thank you for posting this!ONE OF MY MOST Favorite episodes! it was such a tragic episode, so touching! thank you for posting this! I adore you for this! Many happy memories of Miami Vice! thank you a bazillion!!!!
@tiburon0676 im a superfan of vice my friend..while this is a fantastic opening, may i suggest u watch the openings of , Season 1s "Evan, Lombard, and the best opening and top 5 episode,,Payback...keep in touch
All the yrs I tried to get my friend to watch this show when it first came out, he finally watched a episode 10yrs later when they were showing old reruns on The USA ch. This episode was his first and he was turned out😅
it's been over 30 years since i seen that episode but i found it a lot faster than i thought i would ° i didn't have the name of the episode or the song only that there was an airline stewardess Sonny was picking up 😉 i loved Miami Vice but that was my favorite episode ° gotta love Charlie Glide lol
The thing that stands out the most here is none of the hospital workers wearing protective gear of any kind. I know it’s probably 1986-86, but it’s still surprising. Great song though.
Strawmen are interesting in TV shows and movies. This actress, she was pretty but she wasn't (at least in this scene) star quality beautiful, so it was easier for the audience to accept her character's death.
@@DRock-zd8gl In Heat there was more. Remember the scene when Vincent kicks out TV from his car? It is actually a scene taken from "Crime Story" (Also directed by Michael Mann), when Mike Torello did the same in very similar circumstances.
@@MrEdwin57 Oh yeah, now that you described it, I vaguely recall seeing this. She was transporting drugs, and the balloons exploded. That's right. Thanks.
This is by far the best Miami Vice intro. There will never be a tv show like this, it's timeless.

Agreed 👍
I love how Sonny cares. He gets lonely, but he's still a gentleman. And fights for his loves
MIAMI VICE FOR THE HART AND FOR THE SOUL .
the best undercover cop tv show ever
Unique. Made such a difference to my life
Anyone else notice that he must have blown through a red light? The other car is turned sideways trying to avoid him. Never noticed that before...
I saw it
@@jacobfrench7645 I think I heard the tires screech too.
Maybe recycled footage from a chase scene?
Still Relevant in 2024.
Miami Vice at his best ! Epic introduction !
Great song and powerful story.........
I'm 52.. Still watch a episode of vice from the first three seasons.. Every week
.. Brings me back to my youth and IMHO.. A much better time.. 👍

@@DRock6906 amen brother... Only time in history TV came first on Friday night 😂... What a time...
@@execatty Exactly!! Best time of my life... I just didn't know it at the time :-)
What are you looking for the fountain of middle age
Same here . First two were classics Season three good ;but the magic is gone after that for me anyway

So sad crockett's never had any luck with relationships so sad and brilliant acting
Who noticed the passenger seat was back in seating position when he went back for the flowers?
Yes, I noticed that, too, lol.
Such a sweet looking girl, wished more women today still had those beautiful permed hairstyles.

Tengo 51 años y el unico deseo que tengo desde ya hace mucho y no se ma ir jamas es de que vuelvan los 80, decada inigualable.

And he says - NOTHING - 😁.
Women did throw themselves at him and probably still do. Even at 72 he is still 🔥 as hell. Who could resist those eyes and dimples?
The song is perfekt for this opening. Even then Crocket turns around in the end sync with the music. Great episode
Mike & The Mechanics, Par Avion

Conheço essa música por esse episódio.
This is a great song and clip but who hasn’t had a kilo of nose whiskey burst open in their colon
Fred, is that you there?
Perfect acting. Perfect cinematography. Perfect music.
1:15 which one of them ran the red light? listen to those tires screech
DR: "Sir were going to have to notify the Police".. Crockett: "You already have"
Beautiful song, heart breaking scene.

Linkify then, Longmont!
Best Vice intro, no doubt!

That house is right on Hollywood Beach FL and still looks exactly the same...
I think the saddest scene of all is when Switek finds Zito’s body at the gym. 😢
Według mnie jedna z najlepszych scen serialu. Minęło tyle lat, a do dziś wzbudza tak wiele emocji.
Pozdrawiam z Polski.
totally agree with tiburon. never again will we see a show such as this
two human biengs atracted to each other
One of my faves of Miami Vice 👍
ALWAYS!!!

2:51 Heat has a similar scene when Vincent takes his step daughter to the hospital.
Good eye my friend 😉 Michael Mann was responsible for Miami Vice and Heat. That might have been a nod to this episode. You never know ☺

I wish Don Johnson was the bad guy in Heat...DeNiro ruins that movie.
How is the name of song???
Par Avion
@@eilandwaynette by Mike and the Mechanics
That's me standing there...with the flowers🌹
Who's the actress name?
Didn't know they allowed cars to drive alongside people on the Hollywood beach boardwalk lol.
Where? Timestamp then!
Di niente! :-)
One you didn't mine driving me
What happened to that woman?
She died.. She was trans porting drugs in her body and the bag ruptured ! !
@@MrEdwin57 Oh yeah, now that you described it, I vaguely recall seeing this. She was transporting drugs, and the balloons exploded. That's right. Thanks.
I was both a chilling and tragic scene
She did it for the money to purchase a used BMW, if memory serves.
