Sixteen actors received "guest stars" credits in this episode, more than any other episode of Vice. As of 2019, five of them have died (Peter Allen in 1993, Julian Beck in 1985 -- two weeks before the episode aired, his only TV appearance -- Charles Ludlam in 1987, Miguel Piñero in 1988, and Zoe Tamerlis in 1999). Additionally, Ken Ober (who died in 2009 and was most famous for his appearance in the game show Remote Control) appeared uncredited as the taxi driver waiting for Crockett and Margaret.
This is Luis Guzmán's first great role, and years later he worked again with Philip Michael Thomas in GTA Vice City (being whacked by him twice in both tv show and videogame)
Miguel Piñero, who played Crockett's and Tubbs' nemesis Esteban Calderone, plays a Revilla brother (also named Esteban) in this episode. His hair is longer and he wears sunglasses to differentiate himself from his Calderone persona.
One of MY favorite shows....there were a lot of times when I wasn't able to watch all of the episodes ......I still need to watch quite a few that I never saw...or only saw part of....
This footage was filmed using crappy Moto E Android phone in crappy weather.....this is the Version with the RAW audio to show that the Wind and clouds were a major problem. ruclips.net/video/vFljYUyTVcM/видео.html
According to the E! True Hollywood Story, director Paul Michael Glaser suggested to Michael Mann that the second season opener needed to be another two-hour episode, like the pilot was, because the show was red-hot at the time. Mann agreed, and the episode was scripted as a two hour opener.
I had to find this episode. Thank you for posting the clips. P&T said it was their worst TV experience ever...Hard to tell why, though I have an idea why... but it was fun seeing them so young.
I remember the diner The Moondance, off of Canal St- that's where the NYPD roughs up Crockett and Tubbs at the end of part 1. If you watch the scene closely during filming people passing by in cars recognize the actors and can be seen waving hello to them.
I wonder why they edited out the scene where Crockett picks up one of the toys (you can see him walking up to them after tubbs says, "Borges") Crockett picks the toy up and its helmet opens up to reveal a squeaking Godzilla face or something like that. Crockett chuckles to himself with the big smile. He kind of looks around until he sees the blood on the floor leading into the elevator. It was in the original broadcasts. Those who saw it originally might remember it. - COOP
Also, the shootout scene is shortened. It was that way when the "Prodigal son" was aired as 2 episodes to fit in 1 hour timelime with the commercials. When it was aired as one full episode, the scenes were in full. In DVD release there was one longer episoed and I hope they did not cut it on the Blue ray release, because it would sucks...
Anyone know why the color timing of this episode is so dark on the blu-rays? The colors are so muted. Also, I loved hearing The System's "Pleasure Seekers" in this clip.
This just brought back a memory, I remember how his character stirred up feelings of hate towards the show and it's funny how you end up hating the guy. But we must be able to separate reality and distinction from drama which I understand some people have a tough time of doing. Also though it shows a good Mark of the craft of acting. Sort of like our current president Brandon.
Detonics Combatmaster. 6+1. He fired 13. Miami Vice was usually pretty good at not having Sonny fire bottomless handgun magazines, so this was pretty glaring.
My God man after all these years of watching that one episode (or double-episode) one of the best if not the best thing ever from the series, I've only just now found out for fuck's sake that was Penn of Penn and Teller. And I even named a car after it "The Prodigal Son"
And here's a spoiler for you. Jillette HATED his experience working on Vice, and especially working with Don Johnson. It's a shame because I like what he did here.
@@4seeableTV What? Where you hear that from? Over the years I've heard that Don was intense and super professional on the set and those traits may have rubbed a lot of guest stars, crew, and etc. the wrong way.
What was accurate about this was in NYC at that time and earlier the Colombians..care of Grizelda Blanco, were running most of the nose candy in the city. They had quite a few sicarios rollin' around as well helping to keep...order..
I didn’t understand a thing they were saying while they shook it under that checker board…penn was a great guest star but his hair 🤨 what was that about?
This episode was definitely a classic!!
This two part series was the absolute pinnacle. This was the standard. This was A+ extraordinary after that they’re all pretenders.
I miss og, television, 70, s, 80, s were fn awesome!
Him being a guest star was magic!
When I first saw Penn & Teller on SNL, I asked myself, 'Isn't that the guy who got killed on "Miami Vice" last night?'
There were some great scenes in this episode - especially between Crockett and the banker.
"Hi, we're the cops you've been trying to kill". 😁
Both parts of this episode play more like a highlight reel of the entire series, rather than as just a typical episode.
@@devilsadvocate269 Excellent line & superb delivery.
@@jeshkamthank you I was practicing it in front of the mirror all morning
Mr. Burns
That bar shootout was something else. Jimmy's whole demeanor changed.
He didn't have anything to lose at that point. He knew the Revillas wanted him dead.
Yeah, he was pretty unfazed by the whole affair until it went south.
He was only a pasty for the deal. Only the Revillas used him for there convenience,
Tuuuuuuuuuubbbbbbssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You're hitting your shoes." 🤣 🤣 🤣
MIAMI VICE: NYC is my favorite movie/episode of the series.
Yes! Mine too, ironically it barely takes place in Miami, lol.
I loved it when I was a kid I had a VHS tape of it off TV
A hands down classic . Mesmerizing 2 part episode
Phillip Michael Thomas & Don Johnson they lived on the edge.👌🏾
Teller was also on Miami Vice (as a sleazy lawyer in season 4’s “Like a Hurricane” when Crockett marries Caitlin) 😎

Fantastic two part episode.
Prodigal son man i love this episode i done watched it three times already about to be four
This is Luis Guzmán's first great role, and years later he worked again with Philip Michael Thomas in GTA Vice City (being whacked by him twice in both tv show and videogame)
Great latino actor Miguel Pinero
Boy Crockett definitely knows. How to unload a clip with the quickness,
I used to watch this as a kid then when I was a teenager smoking pot discovering that Traffic song when I bought the album my mind was blown
Miguel Piñero, who played Crockett's and Tubbs' nemesis Esteban Calderone, plays a Revilla brother (also named Esteban) in this episode. His hair is longer and he wears sunglasses to differentiate himself from his Calderone persona.
lol. He looked so different without the mustache.
@@clayne10 Martin Ferrero Tambien Fue Reciclado
Yes i spottet him freakin cool😊.....
Imagine if Al Pacino was also a guest star
The best shoot out ever
Al Pacino if was a guest on the show. He would have been very ruthless in his character definitely as a Drug lord.
Unfortunately tv wasn't as respected back then, as today
I’m honestly surprised that he was never a guest star on the show after playing Scarface!
@@jaxxmaxx100 Scarface wasn't well received at the time, it was deemed too graphic and violent by most critics.

By the second season, MIAMI VICE was at the center of the pop culture universe.
@@seanmetro3496 No it wasn't. Enough of the hyperbole. It was just another television show, and nothing more.
Always made me laugh hair cut(penn jillette). My top list episoded😂😂😂😂😍😍😍
I had to find this episode. Thank you for posting the clips. P&T said it was their worst TV experience ever...Hard to tell why, though I have an idea why... but it was fun seeing them so young.
Great episode.
Easily my pick for the best episode of MV, due in no small part to its soundtrack and location shots.
Man what I love this episode
2:59 - Gabriel: "You're making too many phone calls"...Borges: "You're hitting your shoes!"
Prodigal Son - Great 2 part episode
The best show Miami vice made prodical son

I'm getting Jimmy's hair for sure
Brilliant magician AND actor...
Wow !!! Penn's haircut!!!😂😂😂
Ah that last line, was the sample used in the Crockets theme remix by Ben Liebrand.
Anyone know why the color timing of this episode is so dark on the blu-rays? The colors are so muted. Also, I loved hearing The System's "Pleasure Seekers" in this clip.
He looks like Hillary king from GTA vice city
Bad Guy No. 1 also left his enormus firepower into the ceiling and not on the vice cops.
Hi he also played in the episode friends when he's selling books to Joey
Miami vice expetacular seriado oss
The Pleasure Seekers!
$1.50 for a pack of non-filter Camels!!!
Luckies, I think...
Defintely Luckies. The packs were made pretty clear in episodes throughout the first couple seasons.
and it*s also new for me that ingrams sounds like M60 at the end of the video. ;)
His, hair is, the best
Penn and teller both of them finally but in Seperate episodes
This just brought back a memory, I remember how his character stirred up feelings of hate towards the show and it's funny how you end up hating the guy. But we must be able to separate reality and distinction from drama which I understand some people have a tough time of doing. Also though it shows a good Mark of the craft of acting. Sort of like our current president Brandon.
Why is Traffic playing in the background?
Great episode. But the Randall only held 5 or 6 rounds. Sonny cranked out 8 or 9 ?
Detonics Combatmaster. 6+1. He fired 13. Miami Vice was usually pretty good at not having Sonny fire bottomless handgun magazines, so this was pretty glaring.

If he had had Teller with him he'd tell them coppers off! 😅
Luis Guzman!
love penn
Why didn't the revillas want Jimmy to buy from Crockett and tubbs
"Gold Card"? @6:19 "Platinum" back when that used to mean something....
Wow, so young looking!
That’s Calersone in the car.
Penn absolutely hated the experience and is extremely bitter to this day. He spoke about how much he despises Don Johnson on Fool Us.
Did he say why
Penn was slimmer in his youth.
Newton blade, family jewels gene Simmons and Penn jellete
3:10 Gomez Addams the tough guy!
This made me want to become a drug dealer.
