@jmarcguy: They had so much going on with that show at that time that it was probably easier to chalk that up to one of the ones who got away instead of following it up.
Yeah, glossing over the fact that they effectively left him to drown, the Burnett and Cooper aliases are now compromised and it wouldn't be safe for either of them on the street.
Frank Zappa, known for his avant-garde musical stylings, played a fairly ruthless drug dealer in this episode, in stark comparison to his real life persona.
He did manage to sneak a handful of references in tho! He said he was in the “weasel dust” business, I’m surprised he never said something along the lines of “but I’ll get eaten by the mud sharks!”
Amazing how Zappa got so popular and famous for having zero airplay and his popularity got large just by word of mouth. He was a genius! I still listen to Zappa. He was waaaay ahead of his time. A total musical genius. If you’re a Zappa fan, every song he plays sounds different and takes on different meaning no matter how many times you listen to it. Zappa was just on a different level. A true artist in every respect.
That was actually a lot more funny than it was intense. Especially when Tubbs breaks out laughing at the end. 😆 it's almost as if he was laughing at Zappa swimming in the drink, rather than laughing at the villain he was playing. Great stuff !
@stevecowder4774: It could also have been a release of tension, after all they did just shoot their way off of the weasel dust king's yacht a few moments ago.
Fantastic episode and scene, by the way are you trying to play with the UA-cam algorithm with the "Pale" in the title "Pal". Great score by Jan Hammer, wish they had continued this story arc.
Back in the late 1960s, when Zappa was busy with the Mothers of invention & also producing work for some oddball LA characters, Don Johnson was one of the locals who hanged around Zappa’s house. This is how he met “Miss Pamela” de Barres, one of the Zappa children’s governesses, a member of the GTOs (a girl group produced by FZ), and, yes, one of the Mothers’ groupies. Johnson made a psychedelic western movie musical in those days called Zachariah, with John Rubinstein, the son of the famous pianist Anton Rubinstein. Rubinstein went on to compose & perform the soundtrack for another unusual western - Jeremiah Johnson.
Some of the writing was sometimes hokey, but one thing I noticed, a lot of the main villains never overacted their parts or stereotyped their roles. This show had a lot of great character acting with some humor too. The noogey man working with the other latin informant was hilarious. Best line: "I'm a man of no convictions!" an ambiguous statement given that he was accussed of being a criminal.😂
One of my favorite episodes. One major thing which only occurred to me now is that the boat would be a crime scene since there was an attempted homicide against vice detectives and that ultimately a fatal shooting took place. It would have had to been called in and Dade county patrol or the coast guard or someone would have had to detain and investigate. I know it's ultimately a show, but this is still a pretty major plot hole that gets overlooked.
Some ppl will be amazed by the fact that they were really filming it in the sea, and that the actor Don Johnson was in fact piloting that boat. Peak TV.
Don Johnson has always been the man. As a 50 year old from vice to Nash and in between, still luv when Gene Simmons was on an episode also known as Newton Windsor blade also known as a Sears and roebuck pharmaceutical king....lol
At around the 1:56 minute mark the guy to Frank Zappa's right played an Internal Affairs detective in season 1 where crocket was accused of taking a bribe from one of Lombards bookies. He was also a regular on Cheers
I remember "MV"...watching this just seems like "yesterday"...Iwas "Glued" to the tv.... EVERY ....episode...........like "MOST" people............didn,t know of anyone who didn,t watch it...................nothing like it back then...........still as fresh as it was in the 80,s.................Still "Adore" it.................the "best" cop show".............one of a kind..............
I loved this show as a 12 yr old, still one of of my favorites, but as an adult and now a retired Cop when I watch this scene I wonder, when they got back and told Castillo there cover was blown did they mention they shot 2 henchmen who’s body’s were probably thrown overboard or just leave it out. I mean combined they probably killed over 300 people in 5 seasons.
TOTAL Crockett = 112.5 Tubbs = 56.5 Someone took the time to estimate and that is what they came up with. If it weren't for the fact they are cops they would qualify as serial killers.
I imagine a better Miami vice scean with frank playing dyna mo hum while rosanne Barr snd tipper gore oil wrestle with a belt sander snd pocket rocket 🤣😱
So.... NOBODY picked up on the CONNECTION between Zappa and DON JOHNSON. ?. Most famous rock n roll groupie of all time. pamela Des Barres LIVED WITH each for YEARS. Wasnt that her in the yellow bikini???
"They talk briefly, and guess what? Murato kills himself." FZ delivers one of my favorite lines of the whole series.
The weasel dust business 😂
It's the weasel dust industry.
Does weasel dust refer to cocaine or something else

One of the great unresolved storylines. Can’t believe they never followed up the next season.

I agree this was a great character. Frank Zappa really nailed it.!!
Such an amazing episode and one of the few times that the villain knew Crockett and Tubbs were cops ahead of the game
How are there so many drug dealers in Miami who don’t know who Crocket and Tubbs are after a year or two?

That and the fight at the end. Thrilling!
He's gonna swim to Montana and raise dental floss.

Frank Zappa makes a very menacing villain, good casting choice.

@@rasalghul9331 tambien fue una gran pelicula
I wasn't impressed at all...most villains in this series (and for most part of the 80s) were rather underwhelming.
@@diegocanale1124 .....most 80's villains were underwhelming? Clarence Boddicker?
@@mrmusickhimself ok, but i meant mostly on TV series
Weasel dust 😂 you know Frank wrote that line.
😂😂definitley.
Lol
No that's really was a slang term for the yay-oh back in the day
"Dweazel dust which made him as high as a moon unit."
I died laughing when Zappa plugged his nose and jumped out of the boat 😂 great scene. Love scarab 38kv
He plugs his nose but then dives in wtf 🤣

Zappa a did a very credible job of acting.
Some non- actors were poor ( Russel, Sullivan)but the rock stars ( Nugent, Collins...) did quite well!
@@brucemarshall3446 He can't of drowned though; he hadn't released the yellow shark yet!

Do you know the name of this track?
@@anghubbynimsm7854 It was released as “Payback”, but not everything you hear in this video is there. 😎
@@retro-dademusic6403 👍
One of the best scores in the whole series.
Yeah, music by an ex-mahavisnu member and acting by an ex-mother.
Still the best cop series ever.
Absolutely brilliant scene.....thank you. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Season 2 was HOT!
Peak Vice.
I found out that Burn-ett and Crock-ett are the same guy.
🧨
Best line ever!
Love that line
Classic
Franks Voice is always a bloody treat 🥳
I loved the detail that the director Michael Mann put into a scene. Right down to the white painted Lahti anti tank rifle!
Nothing pops a shoulder out of place quicker than a nice 20mm lahti shot😀
Should have been a sequel to this episode.
Yes
There was supposed to be a sequel episode but Frank Zappa was too ill to return for filming.
I would have welcomed an episode that focused solely on the weasel dust business -er industry. 😅
Love the smiles in the end
This was the peak of human civilization. Right here.
Yes I've often said 1980s America was the peak of human civilisation!

Good dive Frank!!

Best cop show ever!
Beautiful score
My favorite part, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” 😝
Weasel dust, huh? HAHAHA.
Surprised he did not squeeze more Zappa band guy's names in, like Vinnie Coliuta.
or Warren Cuccurullo
“no, but we could throw him in” 😂
Love this show. 🔥🔫🌴
Frank zappa😎. My top list episodes. You could upload episode shadow in the dark thank you. 🔝🔝🔝🔝
Shadow in the Dark was fantastic, and ahead of its time.

unless Zappas character was sharp enough to set the meet in international waters......
I've spent my entire life financing the weaseldust industry
got any exxxxtra?
Weasel dust played a key role in starting the Industrial Revolution
quintessential 80's Miami!
2023. Wish i got back in time. Good time's

Peak TV.
So was Tom Cruise
The liquor bottles glued to the shelf @ 2:02.
I knew I shoulda laid off the weasel dust.
Ultramazing Jan Hammer music
The power boat 🚤 getaway looks so real like you can feel you are on the boat with them, modern action films just don't feel as real.
Beautiful to fish there. Love it 🎣 🐠 🐟
Weasel dust.....😂
Possible shark fin breaching the water as he jumps in at the 4:51 mark. Near the top of the screen.
Zappa was excellent in that episode
Lol...Weasel Dust. Good 'ol Frank.
the score is amazing someome knows what is the name of the song?
Payback by Jan Hammer.
Easy with Franck, guys, he was a musical genius and he looked pretty sick in this episode. Bless him.
@3:31 you can see someone's hands from the set crew holding onto the Scarab then give it a nice shove off. Dayum I miss this show
I noticed that as well funny I never noticed it back in the eighties LOL!
That's Fuente's guards...they dock the boats to the yacht. You can also see them at the start of the video :)
Great episode and I’ll tell you if you had that boat in 1985 you were one rich guy my goodness gracious is that a nice boat for 1985
By this point you would think SOMEONE would have told the criminals that these guys were cops lol.
Only in the movies!!!
Just go with it!😄
They also go on busts. So, undercover is relative
Can you imagine Kabir Bedi as Zappa's henchman...what a dream villain's couple😍
Don Johnson has always been the man. As a 50 year old from vice to Nash and in between, still luv when Gene Simmons was on an episode also known as Newton Windsor blade also known as a Sears and roebuck pharmaceutical king....lol
One of the many mysteries in MV, why did he pinch his nose to walk over the back seats 😂
0:01 *THE MUSIC tho!!!!!*

Miami vice expetacular seriado oss
How annoying was that in the 80's when your white belt fed deck machine gun had it's feed cover open & no belt right when you needed it most!
Zappa jumps in the water. Fish say, what is this thing? Other fish say, it's Thing-Fish!
‘chop a line now’
What the name of the song at the start of the clip?

Whats the song at the beginning?
Don't eat the yellow snow.

I wonder if the music is from a Synclavier.
Was that Suzy Creamcheese on the board?
Well, that was easy. 🤣🤷🏼🤣🤷🏼
Weasel Dust Ripped My Flesh
Weasel dust lol
Zappa, no wonder he was succeful, he was cocaine dealer 😂
HaHa too funny. Alejandro Jodorowsky once said that Frank Zappa would be perfectly cast as a Pirate,
don't all good stories involve pirates?
