Such an amazing episode. Crockett drops in and takes out everyone in the house military style. Of course, how he was on the roof all night and not completely eaten alive by Everglades mosquitoes is a mystery but, who cares, I love this episode.
Love the beginning of this episode when Crockett and Tubbs are driving down Hwy 41 in the Ferrari, and Tommy Shaw's "Girls with Guns" is playing. Some cool filming, obviously with a helicopter. One of my favorite drives in south Florida, anyway, and to see it. In DEA, we used to quote the line as they pulled up, where Tubbs says this place is pretty open, how come no ones ever been in here before, and Crockett says, 'DEA's been in here twice before'. And, Tubbs says, "What did they find out?' and Crockett says, "Don't know, they never came back." I had that recorded and would play it over the radio when we were about to send someone in undercover for laughs.
I wasn't born in the 80s (1998 when I was born) and I was introduced to this show from my parents who watched it when it was on and it's my all time favorite show. This scene in particular is one of my favorite moments in the entire series.
@Steve Ulinski~ Glad to hear your folks were bringing you up with a classic! You will see lots of people here saying they want to go back to the 80’s, for many it’s true, best years of their lives. My point is don’t rush the time you’re in or always look to the future. You will miss the good in the here and now.Thank you for your Service.
This is a great episode of Miami Vice. Also, the episode of Magnum with Frank Sinatra as a guest star was great. The ending of that with music by Phil Collins was like an episode of Miami Vice.
Years after seeing this, a friend in FL law enforcement said while he wasn't sure if this episode was inspired by real events, but he swore there was a drug gang that got wiped out by what police assumed were locals in South Florida sort of like this episode, but the drugs were dumped on the ground and nothing was taken, and the police either never found out or never looked too hard as to who the trigger pullers were. I've often wondered how many times something like this might have happened, as the drug runners wouldn't call the cops to complain, right?
My dad was stationed in the Coast Guard out of Miami during the 80s for a while. From what I gathered from his stories and the vibe I got when I visited him there once, Miami Vice was actually one of the more realistic cop shows in TV history. A lot of the show's storylines were inspired by real cases, so your friend's instincts could have been right. I was an EMT back in the 1980s and the entire EMS system was one big Wild Wild West. Just nuts under Reagan. Things calmed down a lot in the 90s, I've heard (I was in West Africa by then).
This was a nice scene and pretty cool one-liner in a somewhat unusual episode. Even though we're missing a brain splat on the wall behind, it's the intensity of Crockett that sells the scene. Classic TV.
Thanks. I missed that one. Here's one: In the movie, the Air Traffic Control supervisor, who says there was only one Plane on Radar, is the guy who Played KGB Goon in the "Bushido" Episode. He gets skewered by Castillo, who was on the ceiling.
I lost interest in this show after the first couple of seasons, but I’ll never forget this episode and this scene in particular. First time I can ever remember the good guy not putting his gun down. One the most badass scenes in TV history.
I remember it well, the vice writers let everyone know this ain't your normal cop show. Normally cop would lower his gun and let him walk. Crockett wasn't no normal cop😲
What a awesome show. I was in my late teens to early 20s when it was on. Inspired me to buy pretty much every 10 mm that was ever made. Even the Bren. But sonny did Alot of missing in most episodes. He had only 5 shots out of the gun before he did a Tactical reload in this one. But overall it was a great Tv show. I feel fortunate to have grown up through the 80s. Do it all again in a heart beat.
Gun nerd note: The gun you see in the part this scene was named after was a Bren Ten 10mm Auto. They didn't make many of them, and they're very collectible today.
He switched to a Smith and Wesson 4506. I've seen one new Bren and it wasn't for sale. Didn't have a magazine because the subcontractor took the money and ran.
Seeing that part again, I see it now. There was nothing cold blooded about that shooting. If he "twitched", he was going to kill the kid. Crockett and the Bren 10 knew what they had to do. Self defense.
@@ralphholiman7401 heh If only the mags had been easier to obtain, it's possible that Dorhaus & Dixon would probably still be in business and a major player in the handgun market.
Five seasons of Miami Vice and countless rounds fired, yet I never heard of anyone being killed on set. I read that before any guns could even be on set, everyone had to take and pass a rigorous class and testing given by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. And I saw a behind the scenes clip where the armorer was collecting all the guns after a scene. Miami Vice did things the right way
try to fire a Bren Ten indoors, the sound should tear appart everybodies ears drums ! Even if this particular Bren Ten was twicked to fire 45 ACP, the poor girl should have been crying in ear pain... Still the best Show ever !
The TV censors weren't going to allow this scene because it was to agregisly violent. They made Johnson's character say the line slower " Maybe .....you won't...even ..twitch" to get it aired.
It was supposed to be in the Everglades. Crockett and Tubbs drove out to the Everglades with a couple fishing poles. In a Ferrari. Blending right in to the locals.
@@timhoovermusicman What are you talking about? There's a great shot of them driving out to the 'Glades, with two fishing poles sticking out of the back seat of Crockett's Ferrari. I remember because it was so absurd, to drive a Ferrari to the Everglades, thinking you'd be inconspicuous. The jeep you suggest would have been much better cover.
@@timhoovermusicman That one, I don't remember. Was it the 4th season one, where he went to visit his ex-wife, and son? The only vehicles I remember Crockett driving were the Spyder, a broke dick truck, after the Spyder was blown up, and the Testarossa.
Tammy should have got her own Spin-off show where she had to overcome the trauma from this event, and then went into crime fighting with her hidden mutant powers.
This line was reprised similarly in the _'Miami Vice'_ movie (2006), when then Gina explains to an Aryan Brotherhood member: _' ... Your finger won't even twitch.'_ before shooting him in the head.
that's hilarious. the bad guy shoots at the cops until he's out of ammo. then he puts his hands up. then he starts running away, and rather than shoot him tubbs decides to see if he can outrun him.
@Dissident Aggressor Not the bad guy really! He's the surviving slightly wimpy cop that turns out somewhat ruthless in the end. (Willem Dafoe plays the main bad guy)
Loved MV. Still do. Classic series. But notice how they had Sonny using a handgun and Tubbs a shotgun for long-distance work? :) Both are intended for CQB (close distances). They should have had AR's. :) And used the handgun and shotgun as "back-up weapons". Yes I'm nitpicking here. :) Just sayin' though...heh!!
CQB was in its infancy in those days and the MP-5 was the preferred weapon because of the 1980 SAS takedown of the Iranian Embassy in London. In those days, over penetration of walls or bodies was the main concern. It was from the Panama invasion of 1989 onward where CT teams started going for M-4 type weapons to deal with enemies wearing body armor or hopped up on drugs.
Ahh.the 80's .when all the men Dressed like Crockett and Tubs.and all the women Dreesed Like Saturday night Fever. And the music was way 😁 better !!!!!!!!!!!!
What if Americans just said to heck with the cops & started taking responsibility for their own communities? “Behind every blade of grass”….And plenty of woods & swamps to dump the trash in. Just thinking out loud.
Legend has it that old guy is still trynna fire his musket successfully
Yes, twice.
he actually fired the shot, tho
Blunderbuss.
He actually does a short time after this scene ends they just didn't show it
@,housecat. Grandpa's old "musket" reminded me of that ancient handgun Fred Ward's neighbor loaned him in Miami Blues! LMAO at that gun too!

This and the "Sunrise" episode of Magnum. The top 2 TV scenes of the 80s!
"You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man."
"Wrong."
This is a great episode of Miami Vice. Also, the episode of Magnum with Frank Sinatra as a guest star was great. The ending of that with music by Phil Collins was like an episode of Miami Vice.

Aww ya missed the part after that when Clem saves Crockett with his daddy's gator gun!
I think Clem was portrayed by Ken Curtis (Festus on Gunsmoke.) He died in 1991.
That was the best part! I was looking forward to seeing him fire off the "gator gun"
One of my Favorite Episodes of Miami Vice 👍
Everyone who talks about this episode always refer to the "twitch" scene. It was the dude he shot through the door that got me like 😯
I've got to rewatch the series.
