A clip which I intended to make in past several years. A montage of Miami Vice (1984) with some of its soundtrack in the background.
Miami Vice is one of my favorite series. In the 80s it has given new trends and it still remains a unique production among other TV series. There is a specific atmosphere in it. Breathtaking views, beautiful women, fashion creations, sports cars, pursuits, and shootouts. Plus the music of the best artists of the 1980s and very decent guest cast - many future stars of the big screen appeared. All of those aspects I've putted in this montage with Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" soundtrack.
Grzegorz Grabowiec will you be making the one Sonny is chasing in the boats crashes at the end of the Epsoide I am trying to find that song ?
Perhaps a dumb question , but was that Bruce Willis at 2:29? Great video of a time gone past Kodos!
Maggie Rezac ya he was in a Ep more hair too. Its on COZI Network as of 2017 still on too Pacific time 12am to 3 am range.
That was just one fantastic video thanks for the upload.
@@maggierezac5820 yes that was ; )
Nothing in the universe is more powerful than the 80's......
If it wasn't for the 70's, 80's would never have happened. If it wasn't for the 80's, 90's would never happen. If it wasn't for the 90's, 2000's never would have happened
So true, so true.
If u were in U.S., then yes...might me.
@@jesseestrada5903 Umm, okay. 😂
@@jesseestrada5903 Just be quiet...be...quiet.
There has NEVER been a song and TV show that were meant to be together more than this.
And Smugglers Blues.
MIAMI VICE came up with the begining of MTV... That's the point ! :-D
Smugglers Blues also. lol.
How many people are famous because of this show, I see this video every day I LOVE It music also of course!!!
Married with children and love and marriage song.
Best damn show on tv in the 80’s !!!
Even today one of the best!
@@kainvampir5430how can I watch it?
This was an era when music and shows like this will never ever be duplicated. I'm glad I was able to grow up in the 80s!
Me to
Very well made. Friday night in the 80's it was the place to be.
Yes, its was a good day , old good days
How so? What made it so special?
Friday? U musta been watchin reruns cause it came on Thursdays on NBC. I know cause Fridays were Dukes of Hazzard nights, and I was NOT missin that, so i got to enjoy both shows every week.
Exactly :-)
@@vaccumsealed Miami Vice aired on Friday, not Thursday. 🙄
I miss the '80s...the women were beautiful, the times were easy, and life was good.
That's what my father says about the 60s and my grandpa about the 40s
@@dirtyharry4795 , but they were wrong.
kunekume... the women are not beautiful now...??
@@bahardin3992 Beautiful outside but often awful inside...
There was a recession, global fear of the Cold War, Globalization taking away jobs, technology taking away careers, big government was the problem, AIDs and HIV scares, and drug problems that was relevant to Miami Vice. Miami Vice was about fashion and dangerous of a large amount of money that could be made in drug dealing "paid for my the misery of other people."
Sonny: "How long will it take you to get ready?"
Tubbs: "I'm always ready!
Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Legendary. What makes me appreciate the show even more is that they used some of Collin's music, truly iconic.
I would say that Miami Vice fit its time rather than it was ahead of its time. What has followed since the 80's has been a precipitous decline in fashion and in the quality and intensity of life that is reflected in the vapidity of TV shows and movies.
Reading that dictionary again I see! ☝️
And the strange thing is..... it still looks cool!
Very well said my friend ❤
Bro, life was good before K-pop.
Cause of K-pop, everything got ruined such as songs, series etc.
Someone please invent a time machine so that I can blast myself back into the 80's and stay there. The best years of my life. Bar. None.
I’d be first in line 😉
I'm ready don't need no bags.
The 80’s was a great decade never to be again.
Easily the best.
can I go with you ? :)
Don Johnson, coolest guy of the 80's
we were 11 and tried to dress like him
Michael Douglas was pretty cool as well😎
I did it 🤣
marlyn ely after Simon LeBon I think
Don was one of the most beautiful and sexy man...
Miami Vice Was Truly Awesome In The Eighties
Name movie
If kids ask you what the 80's was like. Show them this.
Plain and simple, Michael Mann created one of the best shows to ever air on television.
And after that he made one of the best 90, and 00’s movies
Heat, miami vice (2006), public enemies...
Genius
Well said.
he actually didn't even create it, but god damn did he show run the fuck out of it
Growing up in the 1980's (born in 1970), watching Miami Vice on weekends was a weekly EVENT ! The guest stars, the cars, the clothes, and Crockett and Tubbs all made for a viewing experience like nothing else. Open the window on a hot summer night and you felt just like you too were in Miami.
Did Costello ever smile?
I was just south of Phoenix and this show even made me feel hot when it looked all muggy.
I wish I could go back and do it all over again born in 70 and grew up watching Miami vice best show on TV
I was born in 77 and was able to expierence alot of the 80s but not enough to really have enjoyed it. Bought the series and I am now upto season 4, just about done with it. To me, Miami Vice seemed like it started out kind of out there for a cop series upto the end of S1, got really good for S2-3 and started going paranormal in season 4 into 5
Glenn Frey as the pilot smuggling drugs was my favorite guest star!
Ich durfte die 80er komplett erleben, einfach nur die beste Zeit PUNKT
Da stimm ich dir zu.. weil ich sie auch erleben durfte!
More than 40 years have passed but the legend of the 80s continues....incredibile!!!!
Amen
Afuckinmen
Amen!
It's 2020 but I'm going back to the 80s. And I'm going to start by watching Miami Vice all over again. 👍
Amazon has the entire collection for $34
I agree mate.i had the cut sleeved jacket and slip on shoes.so cool.we do get older lol it so good to look back.iv watched sum repeats.well I forget wat happened in them good soundtracks.my fav is Sonny's theme.80s the best.movies music girlfriends school mates.it had the lot..miss it so bad but I'm always lookin back.loved mami vice.don Johnston was the highest paid actor.he made thousands an episode.goodlookin man.he pulled the clothes and Ferrari testarosa of well imagine Rollin up in tht outside a bar club.it was a babe magnet and if u had looks to go wit it ur laffin all the way to bed wit a diff girl every weekend.

@@marcoscordoba7123 ur the dick look at yee
Nobody cares that it's 2020
Miami Vice just amazing retro coolness.
Oozes it. Pure nostalgia!
The 80's was the best time to be alive
Yes, it was!
Those were the days!!
when i die. Bury me in the 80s
Good wish!
Never has or will there ever be a time in history, cooler or better than the years this show was on.......
The last good times in america
Miami Vice hit different. It literally epitomized the 80's. The scene with this song was probably the single handed greatest scene in television in the 80's. You felt every note of the song as they drove thru the night in silence. What a vibe.
I grew up in the 80’s and looking back, I loved it!
WANTED TIME MACHINE to take me back to the 1980s
gaskan666 ...I know a Dr Brown with a DeLorean. Will that help us???
First rule of time travel is you have to whack Hitler then you may proceed to the 80's
Ja isto....80- te godine su bile najbolje godine..
need a scorecard to keep up with the players.
Bring me back some Quaaludes
The best tribute i saw ever. Thank you for the memories....
I agree really tight superb!
Not even a nod to the St. Vitus. 😢
40 years later the actors, the storyline and the music in the show is still iconic very hard to duplicate this show. And the clothes the actors wore in this show set the tone for the fashion of the 80s and more style and class on what people wear today.
Afuckinmen
Well said. I'm always ready.
Phil Collins is the 80s
His nephew too. Got caught smuggling 3million worth of cocaine in Peru
30yrs later and Miami Vice still cant be FUCKED with,one of the best shows in tv history,HANDS DOWN
This was the show that Dallas feared the most; great stories, acting all around.
Don’t use profanity mofoka! Haha
If you weren't around in the 80s you'll never know how cool this show was. You'll never know. You had to be there.
Completely agree with that.such a long time ago now😭
True!!!
Agree. Definitely a unique time
u were there ?
@@12aubac60 , yes!
Best decade ever , best tv shows , best music
The 80s had the best music, and TV shows. Pure entertainment, and no political beliefs destroying them.
Nope. Only Reagan did that ...
Little enabling political boy ☝️👆👎. Hopefully someday you’ll grow up and be “your” own man!
Miami Vice: *A show about conservative losers and their failed war on drugs, and how two honest cops tried to put up with it.*

We look back at this era before cell phones and we miss it even more.
❤😊
Damn right brother.
They had cell phones in the 80's, just not smart phones, either way, I get your point.
@@stevewaller6577 Not everybody had a cell.
There were plenty of cell phones around then
This was the show we huddled around on a Friday night to watch, classic!
Boy I wish I could relive those days, we never realised how epic it was at the time ❤
Ultimately iconic and classic! There will never be another television show as memorable and indelible as the 1980s "Miami Vice"!
Ehhhhh ....
Maybe "Hill Street Blues" is running close
The writing on it paved the way for many shows the difference might just be the camera shots and the fact that they had several overlaying character stories in one show
I watched Hill Street Blues and liked it, and know it was very popular, but the two shows were different. The big difference being the iconic music matched to the scenes and action in Miami Vice. But, Hill Street Blues is a good one.
@@bh2217 Im with you .. Both were Iconic one world wide for visuals and an actually TV show having a soundtrack
And the other, for influencing and changing the way TV drama's were written for the future of TV
Cheers to both, the folks that created them and the actors that pulled both of the shows off creatively
I was a coast guard boarding officer 86-87 Miami Dade . . . Best time of any life.
I have a question: At that time, was the cocaine wars featuring the infamous "cocaine cowboys" ending at that point?
@@walterfox4761 yeah it was ending cuz Clinton was hitting the big time as president and chief.
Dan Medina
I’m green with envy dude 👍🏽
Some tv series just can't have a remake. Because they belong to the 80s.
Dib Dobo who would replace today young liam neeson,bruce willis,michael madsen...??😎
Fact
You are right 100% and I don't wanna see that remake if it happen!
SO many!
I wis someone told that to the idiots who ruined Magnum pi
Miami vice was one of the best series of the 80’s, scenery, music, actors and the story were one of a kind.
I remember i was in junior high when this song played in one of the episode where sonny was driving his daytona at night that's all we talked about the next day at school, Instant classic
It was the series pilot.
Like " Mama" on Magnum PI
crazy how many good actors played in miami vice, michael madsen, liam neelson, al bundy.
@@narayadewe7979 Bruce Willis 2:28 :)
John Turturro as well 2:30
2:50 Terry O'Quinn, John Locke from Lost
You have videos on TH-cam with people that started or have been guests it is amazing ... You are right Miami Vice was a turning point in television history
@@MrASNF Bruce Willis with hair 😂
My brothers and I were all young when this was on, and we used to “play” Miami Vice. Bags of flour for coke, Entertech water guns and trying to make our church suits look cool on us. Good times, great show.
I totally forgot about entertech squirt guns! You’ll never see those again
Sounds like a wonderful childhood.
LOL!
You can't explain the 80s, you have to experience them. Miami Vice was a street sweeper in Germany back then, when the series was on they were all sitting in front of the TV, what a special time.
Ich möchte meine 80ziger Jahre wieder haben. Eine der besten Serien in 80`s 👍😎👍
A show and song that are BOTH timeless!!
I MISS THIS SHOW SO DAMN MUCH!
IF ONLY WE CAN GO BACK IN TIME......
Tubbs: "How much time we got?"
Crockett: "Just long enough to get to the drum solo."
I absolutely loved Miami vice. !!!!!!!!!!
Totally the best music of any tv show in history.
Miami Vice was the greatest series EVER! Nothing else comes close!
The coolest series of the 80s ... I don't think it will get any better !!
it can't anytime :)
Every time I hear those first few notes, I get goosebumps and immediately think of Don Johnson and Miami Vice
I used to work retail in 1984-85. We had TVs in the store. After closing for the day on Fridays, my manager and I would reconcile the purchases for the day while watching Miami Vice. We would not miss an episode. Thus show introduced so many great rock songs which are now classics of today.
Miami Vice was and still is the 😎coolest show!
"You are all players, Sonny. You get high on the action" Such a powerful line
Sonny forelli ? GTA vce city vibes....
Lived in Ft.Lauderdale Florida 5 years from 1983-1988. Height of Miami Vice. Watched them film in and around Miami all the time. Miss that era and those times. VHS recorders popular back then and on Friday Night no one would miss an episode. One way or another. Long time ago from August 02, 2019 today. Oh My !
My opinion, one of the best shows on TV.... ever.
I'm sure Michael Mann would be glad to hear that,if you haven't seen the movie Thief with James Cahn,directed by Michael Mann,in theaters in 1981 take a look you might be pleased(I just got bored to tell you this)lol
@john ryder no problem I'll check it out
ahhhhhhh yes, the good ol days 😊
Without me...
Yes it was my friend, I remember spending time in Miami and the Keys in the early to late 80s when SB was gritty and run down.
A phenomenon show .with great talent and Don Johnson! And Philip Michael Thomas. Truly miss it the 80s was the shit's!
Classic Vice, How nice.😎🐊🌴
3rd January 2023, Soooo many years gone by still the voice of Mr.Collins gives me goosebumps. Forever Mr.Phil ❤👍🏻❤
A fitting tribute to the best cop show there ever was and ever will be. The editing is quite simply absolute perfection. No other decade will ever surpass the 80's in the quality of its life, its music, its style, etc.
I’m guessing, but seems you didn’t get to experience the 60’s & 70’s. I think you would’ve liked them also, especially the music and lack of bras by 50% of the female pop. Lol
Loved all three decades. ✌️
@@TC-dw6wg You can't really explain those era's, you just had to be there
As someone who is actually starting to watch the show for the first time, the fact that Neeson, Madsen, and Willis appear at some point is pretty dope
So many, the willie Nelson episode is one of the best.
Ed O'Neill, Helena Bonham Carter
Phil Collins himself was in it also.
So @Nathaniel Strangman, did you finish the series? What did you think of it?!?
Glen Frey, Ted Nugent, too. We didn't think twice about the guest stars, they were just ,,, there.
I miss the 80's...😢❤
I loved Vice so much … the funeral episode was my best memory. I cooked for Crocket once in England 😊
Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett was my hero in Miami Vice .. The best series ever! I still get goose bumps today when I see it! It was absolutely awesome !!!
There will never be a decade like the 80'!Not just because of the number.Absolutely unrepeatible in every way.
Amen
Bad ass track!
One of the greatest combinations. Astounding song, and the styling of Miami Vice all perfection.
Loved Miami vice.
I am absolutely speechless this is the best Miami Vice tribute I have ever seen!!! This was brilliant and showing all the people who went on to to do greater things and film and TV is just amazing right? Fantastic!! excellent work!!!
Been cool if they showed a clip of phil collins who appeared on the show.
Me and my wife never missed an episode of Miami Vice, has always been one of our favourite series. A true classic
People were better looking in the 80s
TRIVIA
Name something from the 80s ?
Everything in the 80s was better
I definitely was better looking in the 80s!😂
La chanson de mon BAC et autres... un mois se juin INOUBLIABLE ❤❤❤
They were in shape
We was. Sorry you noticed and it made you look ugly 😅
I can still remember watching this show after being introduced to it by a good friend of mine called Kevin (such an 80s name). Crocket and Tubbs were the coolest duo of the 80s. The look, sound, dialogue and subject matter summed up the 80s perfectly. Miami Vice was a hugely successful and influential TV show that would go on to be mimicked by other TV shows as well as films. Don Johnson was cooler than ice, and Philip Michael Thomas was hotter than the Miami sun. The two men played Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, drug-enforcement officers in a bright and fashionable Miami. At the time of filming, the town of Miami was run-down, plagued with drugs, crime, social and economic problems. It’s no secret that Miami Vice helped the town prosper to eventually become what it is today.
The show was a watershed moment in TV much like how MTV changed music and music videos. Crocket and Tubbs took on hardened criminals and suffered for it. They showed the real side of policing, where the risk of being harmed or even killed was an occupational hazard. What really made the show for me was their friendship. The loyalty, respect and understanding they had for one another influenced me in a big way. When I think of great friendships, I think of Crocket and Tubbs, two men who couldn’t be more different, yet were prepared to die for each other. How many of us have a friendship like that?
I can’t write about Miami Vice and not talk more about the pastel-shaded fashion, the stubble-faces, sock-free feet and carefree hairstyles. The look of Miami Vice is what made it stand out from other TV shows. The pastel colours added warmth to their personalities and complemented the Miami sunshine. The colours popped out as did everything else in the show. The Sonny/Crocket look became very popular among men. The light-coloured blazer, pastel T-shirt and shoes without socks became commonplace. I can still remember some of my older friends wearing this look. Oh, they had to wear socks, however, as it is too cold in England! The rough, unclean, dishevelled look was to Miami Vice what Clint Eastwood was to Fistful of Dollars. Their grooming style reminded me of the 1960s Spaghetti Western look made popular by legendary and visionary director, Sergio Leone. I imagine Michael Man was influenced by Leone’s anti-hero characters too.
Miami Vice gives me a warm feeling and good memories are conjured in my mind's eye, those long hot summers of my childhood still remain with me. What a decade in which to have grown up.
Awesome commentary!!
@@smartanajones4u Thank you, buddy.
😎🌅
So basically you are saying that Miami hasn't changed at all since the 80s.
@@100toeface I think it has changed, maybe it's become safer, richer, maybe even upper class. Not sure if the 80s cool lasted.
Well said my friend
This compilation really shows why Michael Mann chose "In the Air Tonight" for the very first episode and how the episodes "Brother's Keeper" and "Calderone's Return" are tied together. Well done.
👍
Love this series. The cars, fashion, the location and a great soundtrack.
It was a series that was just so much better, from the way it was shot, to the powerfull music scores and storylines, hard to think it was 40 years ago
The 80s were so awesome. The perfect balance of everything. We had a taste of technology but we didn't choke on it like we do today. A time of tremendous opportunity and yet we still had family values. I miss those days.
Great insight...yes, what made the 80s great was balance. It was a midpoint of trends that were ending and starting
@@edwardroy3401, yes the 80s were awesome. We also had less debt and better jobs. Seems to be a pattern.
@@JTDyer21 They were a 'sweet spot' in time
@@edwardroy3401, totally true. Balance is key to a happy life. That's what we had back then and life was awesome.
So do I today world is bad place to live
Definitely my favourite show of 1980s when I was in my 20s the music the style everything about it.
It was unic
It was cool asf back in the day. Loved it as a teenager.
Thank you for putting this together. So many stars were on Miami Vice and the music was just killer❤❤❤❤
No competition here! The best of times and best music!!
This tribute actually gave THAT Miami Vice vibe and feels... That In The Air Tonight intensity and drama... Not those typical random google images with don johnson smiling... Great work, Pal!!! :)
I wish I could live the life my parents did. There's something so special about the 80s that you want to be there no matter how old you are 🔥
A sense of hiraeth
I was young but i was there. It was the best.
Graduated HS in 83..I enjoyed every second of 80's....I'm actually surprised I survived em..would not change a thing FOLKS.
I lived them and wish I could have with my son. He would have loved the 80’s.
I agree, I was born in 71 and enjoyed the 80s as a kid and as a teenager and it was just as amazing as people think it was,it really was a magical time,I would go back in a heartbeat
Miami Vice was the most hip TV series ever.
The single greatest TV show ever! There will never be another show like the Vice. There will never be a decade like the 80's again.
If you weren't there and didn't live through the 80s you missed so many great things, what a different world.
And much better than today
Please, please. Bring back Miami Vice🙏🏽...Let’s Relive The 80’s ONE More Time🤎
The one TV series that literally had every major hollywood player play a part at some point or another.
Great show. One of the greatest. This is a good combination with in the air tonight also. Too bad they don't make TV shows like this anymore.
You absolutely right bro.
80s magic
probably just as well, they would put all brand new girly men in it, no one would have guns, they would talk about their problems and family troubles the whole episode.....bleh
a list of who’s who. Damn!
Seriously… great job of editing this. You've taken some of the best cinemetography from the show and used it very effectively with an iconic song from the series. It's amazing how 30 years later, editing a piece like this using the original footage can still feel fresh!
Even near 40years later.. the chills .. the vibes...the thrills of 80s breathless !!!
I love Miami Vice but seriously this video captures the heart and essence of the series so perfectly, god damn I want a time machine
one of the greatest shows ever, in the greatest decade ever! greatest music, greatest duo............damn, great times!
THE EIGHTIES
The music was better
The television was better
The movies were better
The anime was better
Life was just better
The racism was better.
Girls at beach were better
but there was no broadband or 4G
@@stolensilver5811 And they did survive it ;)
I agree with you
Awesome show; still my favorite to this day in 2024! Nothing like it! A great Phil Collins song that became synonymous with Miami Vice!
I could watch and listen to this on repeat, no problem 😉
This was such an iconic show of the 80s. It was like an hour long music video, just loved it.
The quality of this is beyond amazing. I'm especially impressed with how you matched the music--and even more so, the famously ambiguous lyrics--with scenes from the show. In the process you captured the emotional impact of this iconic piece of television history. (That scene from "Milk Run" gets me every time.) Thanks for this remarkable tribute.
Just an awesome video. Great tribute! Nostalgic for the 80’s. 😢
Easily one of the greatest shows ever on television
Always nice to see the eighties series . Nice to see faces of actors who made it later in their careers ;).
