Miami vice was more than a show it was a real look at the other side of Miami , was on the edge at that time. Started it all when it came to real cop shows.
Trust Fund Pirates is such an underrated episode from Season 2. Miami Vice will forever be an iconic and groundbreaking TV series. Long live Miami Vice and the 1980s!
Yep. Ironically, I was depressed during the late 1980s. I was convinced that my life would always be miserable, but I didn't realize how good my situation was then (cheap gas, affordable community colleges, affordable groceries, more level-headed people to talk to (instead of these green/pink/blue-haired psychos who need to protest everything).
Don Johnson is inarguably a very cool guy (like his Crockett character) - and so is Jan Hammer - but looking back, now, this series often had embarrassingly-poor writing and acting. But I got sucked-in weekly, like everyone else in the '80s, due to its music video-like segments and colorful characters.
@@kenhoward3512 in my opinion, Phillip Michael Thomas was a bad actor. The music fit the shows and yes some bad writing at times. But again, in my opinion, it was the BEST TV show during the BEST DECADE.
The Vice IS the business. It’s the 80’s. Season 1 and 2 are where it’s at. There’s some patchy episodes in 3, 4 is pretty dire but 5 has some good stuff again. Jackson looks like Steve Miller!
yes. Mythbusters showed it couldn't happen and I fired off 3 old flares from my gun many years before they tried it. ( they were expired so I shot them to use them up and put fresh one in my boat- 2022 and I still have the gun but no rounds ) I shot into a dirt mound and it burned for maybe 2 seconds and barely burned the dirt at the impact area. No where near enough heat to kill anyone must less knock them into a pool.
I use to watch this all the time when I was younger I never missed one. If I had to go out I use to record this. Don Johnson otherwise known as Sonny” Crockett, in mini vice was also a singer and he sung for real in one of the Miami vice shows. Dons still around today and still acting in shows like CSI Miami and other TV shows. And he’s still witty but funny even today nothing“changed. He’s now 72 and he’s changed a little but not much. You can still tell it’s him.even today. He’s still kept his charm and still is witty 🙂
So who got to sit on that chick's lap for the plane ride and who had to sit on the pilot's lap? NO WAY you're fitting four adults in that little two-seater plane.
Love the channel!!!! Huge fan of Miami Vice. You should do the ending of the episode of Evan, Tubbs s as bad Crockett where the fake the gun robbery and Evan has to decide wether to go with the dealer or to Tubbs and Crockett. The song by Peter Gabriel “Biko” fits so well the ending.
@@TheMpo1986 One of my favorite actors, who keeps popping up in various roles. (Don't forget the firearms consultant on "The Good Wife"!) First season of "Midnight Caller" was another incredible streak of quality television.
lololol Just goes to show ya, not only can you not trust anyone, but especially those with unlimited bank accounts...just another day for our boys in blue(figuratively of course)..like I always say...Miami Vice Forever!
Richard Belzer would go on to spend 20 years playing the role of Detective John Munch in Homicide: Life on the Street (1993-1999) and on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-2013), tying him with James Arness' 20-year portrayal of Matt Dillon on the series Gunsmoke and Kelsey Grammer's 20-year portrayal of Dr. Frasier Crane in the series' Cheers and Frasier for second place behind Mariska Hargitay's 23 (1999-present) years of playing Detective (now Captain) Olivia Benson (in Belzer's previous series SVU) for the longest continuous portrayal of a single character in a TV series.
When I was a kid my step brothers received two replica cap gun Mac 10 machine guns with suppressors from their dad, who was a drug deal. They looked nearly identical to the real thing.
I think in the mid/late 80’s a kid with a toy gun was killed by cops and after that a lot of toy guns started to be made in bright colors. You might remember “Entertech” water guns. As far as cap guns, there were Japanese model guns that you would put caps in brass cartridges that screwed apart. They could shoot full auto. They’re referred to as PFC or “plug-fire cap”. They made a MAC-10 with suppressors.
I like "Trust Fund Pirates" It involves both Crockett and Tubbs. I love the lines "Boy, do I feel dumb" and "Go ahead. Shoot him. I don't care," as well as the reaction on Tubbs' face. Thomas Chong's appearance didn't detract from the story (unlike some of the season 2 guest stars). Plus, Gary Cole was apparently the network's preferred choice to play Sonny Crockett.
Fairly certain this is the episode they hoped to have Glenn Frey return in as Jimmy Cole, but instead had Gary Cole’s character here simply mention that Jimmy had retired from the smuggling business when scheduling conflicts prevented Frey from making that comeback.
Proper gun discipline was never a big thing in the shows of the 1980s. Lost track of how many scenes in a show had someone holding a shotgun at a high port with the barrel pointed at someone's head while fully loaded. Someone who wasn't even the intended target. The 1980s - Great shows, lousy weapon discipline.
Okay so NOT wrong - Fairly sure he made a point of improving by - NASH BRIDGES time - - Oh yes & BTW if U havent ever done so C - - - - DEAD BAND with Don Johnson
Ironically they give Jackson (Gary Coke) a new identity so, he becomes an amateur race car driver and finally has a son he named Ricky (Bobby). Who’s iconic phrase is “if you’re not first, you’re last”.
Tell the first two to any modern police procedural and suddenly MV looks like Pulp Fiction. In all seriousness, I still think MV is an unironically excellent show.
Crocket I need a new identity, I’d like to called Lumberg and work in middle management at a software company and carry a coffee cup all day….yeah, that would be great..mmmkay

You know that show is on Tubi.
I so miss the 80's and watching Miami Vice, Magnum PI, and other shows that can't be duplicated.
now shows have to be half black,,,zany sc rips,,etc
Never knew the 80s was that good, untill we lost it….
Totally true.
absolute truth ... never to be found === paradise lost !!!
Agreed 😢

@@sagatuppercut2960 absolutely --- the 80's rule, MV in particular ... to create a time machine to go back !!!
OHHHH I MISS THE 80S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!!!
BEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME!
Best music
Best clothes
Best locations
Best cars
Great storylines
Great/Good acting
Best cast of characters ❤️
Best Style.

Best women.
You are so right Patrick, the best of everything!! Clothes, music, attitude!!
I love how all kinds of actors cycled through Miami Vice before hitting it big, or, this was their stepping stone. Looking back at it now it's funny.
It boggles my mind that Helena Bonham-Carter was in two separate episodes - before she became a posh good witch.
Ahhhhhh the 80's and Friday night with Crockett and Tubbs!!!!!!
Only problem I’ve always had with Miami Vice is that nobody is sweating.
Ever been to Florida in the summer?
Tubbs was "slimey" in the airport.
there was one episode where they were sweating profusely, I think the episode was "definitely Miami"
you can see the actors sweating in many close-ups
@@lakeeriesailor2852Also in the episode down for the count part two the guy sitting in the driver's seat of the plymouth barracuda was also sweating.
yeah.....that's why I don't live there
MIAMI VICE FOREVER 😎✌️

? Who ? He's Gary cole - from the MIDNIGHT CALLER fame
@@d-baserox2773Whaaat's happening? If you could go ahead and fill the TPS reports asap that would be great.
Did he just shoot that guy with a flare gun? 😂
yes. Mythbusters showed it couldn't happen and I fired off 3 old flares from my gun many years before they tried it. ( they were expired so I shot them to use them up and put fresh one in my boat- 2022 and I still have the gun but no rounds ) I shot into a dirt mound and it burned for maybe 2 seconds and barely burned the dirt at the impact area.

mysteries of cinema😹😹
@@batsonelectronics He stumbles in to the pool, can't swim...we didn't see as Sonny was chatting to the other guy while he was drowining 😁
Yep.
...look this way and wait for the flash
Best Cop series ever
Great episode, Crocket unloading the magazine while talking to Jackson classic..The sea plane just awesome
"Yeah, so I'm Going To Need Those TPS Reports ASAP..."
“I was high when I said that! That makes no sense at all! I mean, you could be second, third, fourth-- hell, you could even be fifth!”
Shows like this made the 80s awesome
TRULY, Miami Vice is in the top 3 best TV shows ever!
Whats on place 2 and 3?
I use to watch this all the time when I was younger I never missed one. If I had to go out I use to record this.

him, Eddie Murphy and Bruce Willis all had pop top 40 hits in the 80's. It was good to be a teen back then. The music was generally really good.
Vice was so cool 😎
Still is ♥️
I think if you two guys could just get in the plane that would be just greeeaaat.
Thank you! i couldnt place that guy. that's where i know him from.
Yeah....great.....thanks.
Yeah, and when you're done with that, make sure you have the proper cover sheets on your TPS reports.
We're gonna need you to come in on Saturdaaay....not a half day, a full day.
"Ooh. Yeah. Um, I'm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there" 🤓☕
This show was so cutting edge back in the day'/!!!
MTV + Cops = Miami Vice
Trust Fund Pirates is one of my top 3 all-time fave episodes of Vice. R.I.P. Richard Belzer/a.k.a. The DJ Captain Hook.
My old man built Lake Buccaneers in the early 80's... this happened to be the first episode of Miami Vice I ever saw I was hooked.
The Bill Lumbergh origin story...
One of the best tv shows ever 👍
2:27 theres just something magical about this scene. A plane landing on crystal waters with that music. So pretty I guess
Jackson's last line should have been, "Yyyyyyyyyeah. Ahhhlll ahhh, have to get back to you. Mmmkay? AAhl fax you a memo with a cover sheet."
OK this really took me back. Flying out of FXE in the mid 80's , man those were the days.
Absolutely a classic, Butch! Vice, Miami 🌴. 😍.
So who got to sit on that chick's lap for the plane ride and who had to sit on the pilot's lap? NO WAY you're fitting four adults in that little two-seater plane.
and 4 crates of guns, doesn't look like a C130 to me.
Its a 4 or 6 seater, just look it up
At sea level, in Miami heat and humidity, with a normally aspirated single engine.
There’s no way that load is getting in the air.
@@Twolegger Which is why they drove it in the water

Gary Cole guest stars as Jackson, but was also in Midnight Caller. Later on Crusade, a Babylon 5 spin-off, Talladega Nights, and NCIS.

I love the movies ! So funny! They didn’t even have to get a ground clearance.. you just take off when ever you get ready!! Lol
Sonny Crockett: Wardrobe Goals
Nothing like a little Mac 10 action in the morning.
lololol Just goes to show ya, not only can you not trust anyone, but especially those with unlimited bank accounts...just another day for our boys in blue(figuratively of course)..like I always say...Miami Vice Forever!
Best of season 2!
Jan Hammers Night Talk is one of his best tracks
“Yeahhhh I’m gonna need you to come in Sunday”
Bulletproof bar on your private dock, so 80's,
so now!
Sonny handling that full-auto MAC 11 like it's a BB gun... 🤣

Hmmm....what about all of The Simpsons?
Did I miss Richard Belzer is this episode? Thought the dude with sunglasses was Gary Cole!
Man I Remember This Seen Love The 80s
Jackson moved to Texas. While his relationship did not last, he was successful in the software industry.
When I was a kid my step brothers received two replica cap gun Mac 10 machine guns with suppressors from their dad, who was a drug deal. They looked nearly identical to the real thing.
I think in the mid/late 80’s a kid with a toy gun was killed by cops and after that a lot of toy guns started to be made in bright colors. You might remember “Entertech” water guns.

Holy cow!
🙋🏻♂️ hello from Sweden 🇸🇪

Love crocket's white suit😊
00:50 awesome song
Even the planes were cooler...I really miss the '80s!
"I have aided and abetted - cops!" - - - Most 80s Thing ever said, in a cop show.
Jackson Would’ve made a great cop he was smart and on point
Thats Lumbergh from Office Space
@@crankfottonand Reese Bobby from Talladega Nights
What kind of sea plane is that?
Lake LA-250 Renegade,a six-seater.They are great seaplanes!
Crockett’s with the Mac 10 stank face…
…and perfectly styled hair. 😎
I believe Gary Cole was considered for the role of Crockett at one point so this was a fun episode.
traducir al español y que sevean los capitulos completos
I'm puttin on da breaks
I do agree
The 80s
Love it
Gary Cole. He auditioned for the part of Crockett. I can see it.
Sea plain is amazing
I like "Trust Fund Pirates" It involves both Crockett and Tubbs. I love the lines "Boy, do I feel dumb" and "Go ahead. Shoot him. I don't care," as well as the reaction on Tubbs' face.

Gary Cole with his native Chicago "Super Fans" accent.
After seeing "A Boy and His Dog" I never could get into Don's role in this TV series. I just could not see him as "the man".
A Boy and His Dog! That takes me back to the midnight movies . . .
lol I love that movie.
Where are those TPS Reports?
When Hollywood made great products.
Gary Cole was originally slated to play Sonny Crockett.
Great Plane. Lake LA-250 Renegade
@5:38 I got confused. I might've missed something.... who was this guy?
1/2 plane..1/2 Boston Whaler
Crockett is too cool in this scene!! "Boy do I feel dumb"
Season 2 was the best season of all for Miami Vice!!
Huh, Gary Cole! Heard he'd turned down the role of Crockett. One of my favorite actors. First season of his "Midnight Caller" was another gem.
Fairly certain this is the episode they hoped to have Glenn Frey return in as Jimmy Cole, but instead had Gary Cole’s character here simply mention that Jimmy had retired from the smuggling business when scheduling conflicts prevented Frey from making that comeback.
Frey was pretty lame tbh. I’m glad he didn’t come back
I always wondered how he got command of the Excalibur..
"Throw away the guns we don't need them anymore." Never said by any criminal ever.
MAC-10 always associates as a Coke Miami for me
MAC-10? Those crooks went cheap. Trust Fund babies could have afforded UZIs.
@@whazzuphere
Coke money did a good pay, so yeah. But when i saw it in Crockett arms i remembered that scene in scarface motel.
4:13 Don Johnson not following gun safety best practices 😅
This episode is with Gary Cole.
That Gary Cole? Almost didn't recognize him with all that young on him
Crockett’s gun discipline is a joke at the end 4:10. Yeah, let me just fiddle about with this while I have it pointed at your belly…
Proper gun discipline was never a big thing in the shows of the 1980s. Lost track of how many scenes in a show had someone holding a shotgun at a high port with the barrel pointed at someone's head while fully loaded. Someone who wasn't even the intended target.

Oh yes & BTW if U havent ever done so C - - - -
DEAD BAND with Don Johnson
Considering that all the main cast were given extensive firearms training, that was cringeworthy.
Lumberg!
Gary Cole!
That girl was cute
Gary Cole…everytime i see him makes me think of Jeffrey MacDonald, the part he played in Fatal Vision.
That was harsh boyfriend dumbing. Having kids part triggered her the most.
Ironically they give Jackson (Gary Coke) a new identity so, he becomes an amateur race car driver and finally has a son he named Ricky (Bobby). Who’s iconic phrase is “if you’re not first, you’re last”.
I don't think that seaplane could hold 4 people.
Lani sat on Crockett's lap for the flight.
Nothing says "Ouch" like taking a burning 25MM flare in the guts.
That last song?
4:15 , Crockett needs to go back to gun safety class
lol open bolt MAC-10...last thing you want pointed at you.
😹😹😹
shame Lani didn't get taken out
Gary Cole 💋
From the airport plane didn't have it's wing floats, then had them on the water landing...continuity.
That aircraft is a Lake LA-250 Renegade. The sponsons (floats) are clearly visible as it taxis. Watch the clip again.

Why does she need to pull the hammer back on a semi-automatic pistol? Hmmmmm
👍🎣🌊⛵💯
Bad acting, horrible plot and script...no blood...why do I still like Miami Vice after 35 years?
Because, just when you think that you're out, .....it pulls you back in!
Tell the first two to any modern police procedural and suddenly MV looks like Pulp Fiction.
In all seriousness, I still think MV is an unironically excellent show.
