BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Yiannis-T this is the best TV series of all time.it should be ranked 10/10.Probably it's because people who are giving rates here hasn't seen it when it was originally aired.What can i tell about Miami Vice.The style was absolute 80's style,the cars were super,the action was superb,the girls were beautiful,the music was definitely 80's.Action,Love stories,car chases,fights,partnerships,amazing places!What else would you want?The detectives of Miami Vice police department were fighting against smugglers,drug dealers,thugs and more and they were successful.Every episode it's different and takes you to the originality of the 80's era.It's nothing like the today's shows.This is the original,this is the best and all the actors were great!If someone hadn't seen it should watch it and won't be disappointed.Miami Vice made a mark to the TV series!

j-mparkin This really was a seminal show, the atmosphere, camera angles, juxtaposition of music and scenes, drama, action, and especially downbeat endings which were quite unusual and unique at the time, gave the show a unique nihilistic tone. So many stand out episodes and scenes, the acting, especially by Johnson was outstanding, and Oscar worthy IMO. Each Season is quite distinctive in tone, and for me it was always must see television, with extremely high quality production values. This show had plenty of style, but there was plenty of substance, with some of the best writing ever in television series. I own the box set, and have to say, that I rate it right up there with the likes of The Sopranos (9.3 on IMDb). Punchy and Groundbreaking, definitely worth a look. The scenes at night speeding through Miami to a thumping soundtrack are truly breathtaking! Highly Recommended!!

vailsy I won't bore you with what I think are the best episodes, but season 2 was where I started watching it originally as a kid and I've revisited the show again on DVD just recently some 25 years later The things that strike me now are that Don Johnson is a damn fine actor, Jan Hammers music was and is awesome, and the show had a noticeable upturn in production values from around about 'Yankee Dollar' onward - from that moment we have real on-set undubbed dialogue, proper location ambiences, camera shots onboard speed boats. It really does get awesome from here. I just watched the episode and loved it You can tell that Mann is primed and ready to get into film work at this point and really had honed his skills as a Producer All I can tell you is if you've never seen it, watch the show. It has Edward James Olmos who went on to star in my other favourite TV show of all-time 'Battlestar Galactica'. Don Johnson who really should be recognized for his acting talents imho and some of the coolest music you will ever hear in a TV show in Season 2. I'm definitely not talking about the pop music btw, but the Jan Hammer tracks - if you like vintage retro synths you will absolutely love it While some of the fashion styles might seem silly now, interestingly Miami Vice had a huge influence on popular culture and fashion during the 80's rather than vice versa. I still think Sonny and Crocket look slick most of the time, but some of the extras do look like aliens from outer space, and the shorts are Bjorn Borg short!!! The 80's were a pretty crazy decade Great show. Brings back a lot of memories seeing it again, and very satisfying that Michael Mann went on to become one of the best movie Directors of all time with films like 'Manhunter' and 'Heat'

VictorianCushionCat Miami Vice was the defining show of the 1980s that thanks to be being so far ahead of it's day, still does not look dated today. It works so well combining a good mix and background of characters, fast cars, shootouts, exotic locations, you name it, for escapist thrills Miami Vice had it all.The suits, boats and cars provided to blend undercover with the opulent South Florida underworld provided the fun and glamour, but at the core, the team were completely straight and ultimately were dedicated to putting away the variety of bad guys they had to deal with.Crockett and Tubbs were the coolest guys on the box, and still are, well supported by sexy Gina and Trudy, and the lighter touch of Switek and Zito. Undoubtedly the performance of the show was from Edward James Olmos as 'man of few words' Lt Castillo.True there were some episodes (especially in later series) that were a bit hard to follow or just plain insane. But mostly the fix of sheer style and a ripping pace, spot on soundtrack, and the obligatory shoot out at the end, unusually killing the villain of the week, made for a top notch 40 minutes.
