- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Two Weeks ago (12-7-2023) I drove around the cities of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, trying to find the filming locations of the pilot episode of Miami Vice.
The show originally aired on NBC, September 16th, 1984.
The famous "In the Air Tonight" car scene was filmed on LeJeune Road near Ocean Bank. I live like 2 minutes away and I always think about that iconic scene every time I drive by there.
I still remember the TV ad promoting that episode --- I was so pumped to see it
Broooo no way! This is an awesome story man, thanks! I went to kinloch middle school a block away from lejune. Man what I would have given to have seen that car on lejune! Sweeeet!
Another great Miami Vice locations video. Nicely done 👍
Thank you!
40 years of one of the greatest tv shows of all time! ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic video. I've been wanting to do something similar as this but you have really hit the mark. I'll be saving this video in my playlists for Miami Beach Films. Thank you!
@@rememberingmiami I've done a lot of research on filming locations for the series, but I haven't been up there to film in a few months.
I live down in the Keys and plan to make a few more Miami Vice videos real soon.
If you live up there, let me know if you'd like to come along and film a few of them as well. 👍🏼
Man!!! You really did your research! Thanks for this. I was born and raised in Miami and I loooove Miami vice (as I guess most people here lol)… I love all you guys! ❤
Thanks for showing us the location's...massive fan of the show
Yeah, I was a big fan also... I've researched a few more episodes and have enough locations to make a couple more videos... Thanks for watching!
@@rickysithappenedhere ...look forward to see them Ricky 👍
First Superior of Crockett and Tubbs was Lou Rodriguez...😉played by Gregory Sierra😊Many thanks for your video...greetings from germany 🙃
Thank you! For some reason, his last name wasn't coming to me when I was out there. 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for checking out the video!
I lived in Miami during the Miami Vice days. It was THE hottest city in the country. I used to see them filming all over the city. A groundbreaking show.
@@iracer9395 That's awesome! I was an early teen during those years. My family lived in Hialeah, but only one time did we ever see production filming. Unfortunately we didn't see any of the stars.
It's so cool that alot of it still looks the same.
Yeah! It's fun to find a few of the locations that haven't changed much in 40 years.
I'm currently researching another episode. 👍🏼
I loved Miami Vice so much, that I moved to SOFLO in 1990! Thank you for taking me around Miami/Miami Vice shooting areas, as I wasn’t here yet. Hopefully you make more of these lil videos, this was fun! 😊
@@TheAquarian214Thank you for the kind words! I will definitely be making more of these videos based on different episodes of the series.
Nice video man thanks. Those alleys used to be open back in the day...i lived in miami and almost every weekend went to miami beach in the early 90s...interest to know those alleys are closed nowdays...those open alleys used to be a sort of a miami beach charm ....sad
I lived near Miami for a few years and did plenty of shooting location scouting myself. Before moving away, I was 10 minutes from that bridge.
Awesome video! Never thought the acting was awful though. Amazing you found these spots though! 👍🏼
Not sure what he meant by their bad acting. I think the acting is awful today with it trying to be so realistic that it fails miserably.
Yeah the acting was great for it’s time. 👍 ❤
Dale mi hermano… so much has changed since then. Tks for the memories. 🎉
Gracias primo! I'm going back next week to make a few more videos of different episodes. 👍🏼
@@rickysithappenedhere I love it when people mention how Miami Beach was back before la invasion. 😝 be safe. ☮️
I moved to South Florida in 1983. It was crazy when Miami Vice came to town. Thanks for your videos. It is amazing to think that Miami Vice is still so popular after 40 years. I've seen loving comments from people who weren't even born when Miami Vice was filming. Don Johnson and PMT were born to play Crockett and Tubbs and together they made TV history ❤
@@lindacollins903 Thank you for the comment... It was my favorite show when I was in high school. 🥰
@@rickysithappenedhere I also watched the video for Out Where The Buses Don't Run. Also excellent! Are there any others? I love how you insert photos and videos of the sites as they appeared in the show 😎
@@lindacollins903I live down in the Keys, and try to make it up to Miami atleast once a month to make a new video.
I've already researched the filming locations of a few other episodes, and should be making a new video before too long! Thanks for watching!
@@rickysithappenedhere I've subscribed to your channel, so I'll be watching
AYYYE! Ricky’s back!! Good stuff my man!
Thank you sir! I'm due for a trip to Ohio to visit some locations I have saved. Hope to see you before too long, Jordan. Merry Christmas, my dude!
@@rickysithappenedhere heck yeah! Hit me up when you’re here! I owe ya for my Miami trip. We’ll link up in the future for sure! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Another excellent video ! In case you don't know, 20 years later, in 2005, that Chalk seaplane fell out of the sky inot the sea shortly after leaving Miami Beach after one of its wings detached. All 18 passengers and 2 crew were killed. If you google "Chalk Seaplane Crash" you can find video footage that coincidentally a touritst captured while filming. There's also a documentary about the cause of the crash you can find on UA-cam also. Greetings from Prague. CZ
Oh, wow! I didn't know about the seaplane crash. I thought when I drive out there, that they might have still been in operation.
Thanks for the message!
great video,thanks !
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! I hope to make my next Miami Vice episode video in a few weeks. 👍🏼
Thank you for the hard work! You got me smiling during the vid. That was a memorable journey
I'll be back in Miami in two weeks to cover a different episode. Thanks for checking it out!
Nice to see these locations from the past! Was there on vacation, with my family, in Florida in 1991, and we went 1 day to Miami! What adventure! The hotel you mentioned was also used as a exterior for Golden Palace, and the same where me and my family set down outside for a drink (delicious apple juice)!!😊❤
So cool that second location! That's what I love to see, it being completely unchanged. That statue at the Versace location looked huge on the episode of Miami Vice. 10:00 That alley looks just as dirty today as it did back then. 15:20 Wasn't the phone booth also set up for the shot?
Awesome video! 💯💯💯💯
Thank you! I have a few more episodes lined up to go film. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for that, not so much changed amazing.
Thanks for watching, man! 👍🏼
@@rickysithappenedhere I did a comparable thing in 2018. I have visited the film location of Smiley's People in Bern Switzerland, a Hotel, a little changed, like same same but a little bit different. And we have enjoyed some Tea there. Hope for more revisiting videos of you!
The masterpiece movie pilot wasn't called the BROTHER'S KEEPER until syndication.
Good work! 😎
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! 👍🏼
At some point you should definitely try to get access to that staircase
Absolutely! I'll be back in the Miami area within two weeks to film a new Miami Vice episode video.
I will attempt to access the inside of that building one more time. 🤞
They are going to have a 40th anniversary on September the 16th this year. I hope to be there. It kind of depends what’s going on my life but I’ll try to
That would be amazing! I knew it was the 40th anniversary, but didn't know anything about special events.
I will definitely have to look it up! I was in junior high and high school when Miami Vice was on TV. I had the biggest crush on Sandra Santiago (Gina)
Thanks for the message!
One episode there was a small speed boat that lost control on the Indian river there at the old “creek”hostel there on Collins
The boat took flight and come out of the river and straight through the hotels pool into the parking lot.
Miami Vice is one of my favorite tv shows of all time! I can’t believe it’s going to be 40 years since it first premiered this September? Are you going to the 40th reunion in Miami this year? ❤❤❤❤
A small addendum to your video. The 'police' office at 4:17 is on North River Drive. Right behind you a scene from James Bond's Goldfinger was filmed. That is where Oddjob drives the car with the gangster he just killed into the metal compactor
@@rememberingmiami Thank you! It's always fun finding new locations, or hearing of Miami history! 👍🏼
Great video on locations!
For me 14:23 I really dislike the marina they built that took away access to that view from the locals. That was the spot to see the fireworks on New Years and now it's for the fancy folks only.
@@luisquezada7394 I agree! I liked the less developed look better, when the seaplanes were still taking off from there.
@@rickysithappenedhere I’d love to see a video of the White Countach chase episode( Bought and Paid for). Starts at 1211 Meridian, goes down Dade Blvd and into the Venitician Islands. One of my personal favorites since most of the buildings are still around 🫡
@@luisquezada7394 I'll definitely go check it out... A few days ago I visited a few of the locations from 'Out Where the Busses Don't Run'
I'll upload a short video in the next few days.
On the bridge u talked about terrible acting in that scene. You mean the former LT Lou Rodriguez??. Yes that was bad. Tubbs and Crockett did fine acting in that scene. LT Castillo was made for the role, he was such a great actor in miami vice
Castillo was badazz!!!
Rodriguez is the lutenent
@@lukeconverse6632 Thank you! I couldn't remember his name as I was making the video. 🤦🏻♂️
@@rickysithappenedhere haha that’s ok. My all time favorite show to this day
@@lukeconverse6632man you got one hell of a memory there! Thanks for the name.
