Out Where The Busses Don’t Run, possibly the best, if not certainly in the top 3 episodes of Miami Vice. Bruce McGill was outstanding in his role as Ex-Vice detective, so many parts in this ep he comes out from way left field, the ending, with Brothers in Arms running as background even had Crockett and Tubbs not believing what they were seeing. Classic Vice, classic 80’s. love it!
keep in mind that the role of hank weldon was written for dennis hopper, only for him to pull out. in comes bruce mcgill who takes the role and totally smashes it.
Ever since finding out about that, I could see Hopper as Weldon in almost every scene. Always thought McGill was a bit young for the role as written; figured at the time it was because his character had taken "early retirement."
@@jennifersman7990 Hopper had the role of Weldon on MV, but he demanded an extra bonus to his salary in the last minute in pre-production. Michael Mann was so infuriated for being jerked around by the antics, he dismissed Hopper immediately, then he was advised to hire Bruce McGill to replace Hopper as Weldon, and history was made. Mann was so electrified by McGill's performance, he and McGill worked together in feature films later on throughout the decades.
@@jennifersman7990 Dennis Hopper directed The Hot Spot, an underrated film noir steamer starring Don Johnson -- released while Miami Vice was still on NBC!
Bruce McGill is one of the most talented character actors of our time. Had the opportunity to meet him while he was filming Lincoln in Richmond Va at a local steakhouse. Gracious & friendly ;)
My introduction of him was “Matchstick Men” with Nicolas Cage. That was the first movie I ever saw Bruce McGill in, he is such an underrated actor and easily one of the greatest supporting actors of all time to plays side characters in movies and TV Shows. He was the villain in an episode of “Walker Texas Ranger” with Chuck Norris, he was also in “The Last Boy Scout” with Bruce Willis, he was in “Cliffhanger” with Sylvester Stallone, he was in “Timecop” with Jean-Claude Van Damme, he was in “Exit Wounds” with Steven Seagal. So many he has been in, always enjoyed seeing Bruce McGill pop up in a Movie or TV Show, he is one of those actors you definitely have seen numerous times but can’t think of his name. Great Actor, I remember watching this episode of Miami Vice a few years ago, Bruce McGill definitely made this one of the best episodes of the show and he is absolutely hilarious and entertaining as Hank Weldon, even when he goes crazy and over the top with impersonations 👍
Bruce McGill was cast only days before production began, after Dennis Hopper, for whom the role was written, pulled out. McGill flew from New York to Miami during the middle of the night to arrive on time, and began reading the script without having slept for some time. McGill spent the whole episode doing on-the-money impressions of everyone from Star Trek's "Scotty" to Monty Hall to Edward G. Robinson. Weldon would have been a cool character to see again if he hadn't truly been "Out Where The Buses Don't Run".
@@BombDaBass2000 The track by Jan Hammer, called "Clues" is the music heard through the episode, as well as a brief track called "The Ocean Club", and "Hidden Assassin" (raid on Stiltsville house and scene at Ocean Club where the hit occurs.)
2:18 Is Bruce mc gill making a rendition to young Frankenstein ( marty feldman scene) when he said walk this way? He makes that movement like Igor . After 40 years i just believe he is.
The old computer disk were measured in inches. As a teen we used to goof around and compared the size of our equipment to the size of the computer disks, to get a general idea of how our physical development progressed. The rest of the time we worried about passing school tests and maybe get laid.
...and would store about 2 photos if you're lucky .... just TV resolution too as there wasn't anything better. In fact, they'd have to be grabs from video as still 'digital' cameras didn't exist.
I agree I remember going as a freshman. We had a computer room and just that sound brings back memories 40 years later that click click click put the disc in the little green arrows boy have we come along way?
I remember this scene from when I watched in the 1980s. As an impressionable adolescent, made me want to own a powerful computer; now there is more computational power in my telephone.
This episode, along with season 1's "Evan," is generally considered the best in the series; it ranked #90 on a top 100 all-time TV episode list by TV Guide in 1997, the only Miami Vice episode to make the list.
Yeah--gotta love that pause, as if to say, Oh he's very very mellow right now. That, and his little wig-out when he refers to the timing of Wingo's disappearance... brilliant.
McGill played Secretary of War Stanton in Speilberg's "Lincoln." David Straitharn, who played Weldon's partner in this episode, played Secretary Seward in "Lincoln."
I gotta be honest this is in my bottom 20 there’s no way it’s close to season two episode 12 not even close to Evan not even close to when those young punks were rating houses starring East Morales not even close
Have "Never" got tired/bored of this show...........was a Huge" disappointment to me when it ended,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Absolutely loved/love it..............what "Ever" they did with this show they "Got it right" etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is 100% my favorite episode. Bruce McGill is such a great actor. Totally nailed it
Mine, too. Vintage Vice.
I guess the busses don't run far enough for you.
It is my all time favourite episode also.
Love Miami Vice. God l miss the 80's.
Everything in pastel colors. Look at all that is written and drawn with colored chalk on the walls in 02:23. This TV series is really a piece of art!

Wow, never knew that. And Hopper was really on a roll at the time since he’d cleaned himself up. Surprising he never did a MV episode

Bruce McGill acts in EVERYTHING
"My Cousin Vinny" and "The Sum Of All Fears"

Love the dire straits, brothers in arms ending score. Can hear Mark's magic right now.
One of the best MV episodes.
... top 5 easy ...
@@richardhart9204 Absolutely. Killer ending..
One of my favorite Miami Vice episodes.
The music in this episode, at 2:24 and 3:28 with that haunting synth sound is just
Best episode with Brother in arms during night ride
Whats the name of that group
@@Bruce.-Wayne Dire Straits
One of my favorite episodes. LOVED the end sequence where they played Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.

I remember this show being great but after watching this actually every second of it was perfection. Thank you for this channel guys.
1:20 they're trying so hard not to break character. 🤣🤣
Favorite episode, especially the ending. "out where the buses don't run".
...the Ending with Brothers in Arms from Dire Straits.. just Epic! "He was my partner, you understand?"
@@BombDaBass2000 The track by Jan Hammer, called "Clues" is the music heard through the episode, as well as a brief track called "The Ocean Club", and "Hidden Assassin" (raid on Stiltsville house and scene at Ocean Club where the hit occurs.)
" We are cops, not social workers." Classic
Daniel Simpson Day...has no grades. All courses incomplete. Good ol' D-Day!
At least they can update "where abouts unknown."
2:18 Is Bruce mc gill making a rendition to young Frankenstein ( marty feldman scene) when he said walk this way?
He makes that movement like Igor . After 40 years i just believe he is.
WELDON is a foreshadowing of CROCKETT
He was irritating, yet hilarious at the same time. The boys tried not to like him, yet it was impossible not to like him.
the whole series was ahead of its time of TV then and now..
The ending of this episode is slightly sad and bitter.
I can't remember what group was singing that great song at the end...I think the title is Brothers in arms or something like that
@@Bruce.-Wayne
YES!!!
"Brothers In Arms" / Dire Straits

@@K-ZOSMA7-S ......Thanks, great song
Brilliant scene 👍🌴😎 Hank definitely stole the show here.
Wow, a 5.25-inch floppy disk Tubbs pulled out of the computer! Fun fact, the disks started out as 12 inches!
Damn, 12inch?....didn't know that....it came down all the way to 3.5 and now its all Cloud everywhere....🤣

He is '' OUT THERE WHERE THE BUSSES DON'T RUN ''...
( It means he is CRAZY )
"While you 2 were out window shopping for $1200.00 suits.."
One of the best episodes in the series!
Boy Hank really chewed up the scenery every time he was on, but this was a good episode
¡Miami Vice..
Geniales de los geniales!
Una serie distinta..saludos
DON JOHNNSON LEGEND MİAMİ VİCE SÜPER STAR🌟👊💪👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this show!!! Love Philip Michael Thomas!!!
This episode almost belongs to Tubbs more than Crockett. At very least, they are equals and Hank seems to have the closer relationship with Tubbs.
@@motoman2WH3 because TUBBS is like his former partner.
I remember this scene from when I watched in the 1980s. As an impressionable adolescent, made me want to own a powerful computer; now there is more computational power in my telephone.
Classic Crockett wearing no belt!!!
This episode, along with season 1's "Evan," is generally considered the best in the series; it ranked #90 on a top 100 all-time TV episode list by TV Guide in 1997, the only Miami Vice episode to make the list.
Damn that's FBI Agent Frank Pedrosa from Collateral movie
And mr. "wipe that smirk off your face!" in The Insider.
Both movies also by Michael Mann. Superb director and producer
Bruce Mcgill Before Played on TIMECOP & CORRUPTION MEDIA 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget Animal House .
Great episode and that peach colored jacket looks great on Don Johnson with his tan ♥️
"I'm not mellow! Tony Acaro's not...mellow!". Of course he could be wrong. 😁
Yeah--gotta love that pause, as if to say, Oh he's very very mellow right now.
That, and his little wig-out when he refers to the timing of Wingo's disappearance... brilliant.
Look who's having himself a picnic on the hood of my car. 0:12-0:15 LOL
Tubbs even thought it was kind of funny Lol
Awesome episode 🔝😭😍season 2 ep 3
Loved the music by Jan Hammer in this episode. Haunting. "Clues"
McGill played Secretary of War Stanton in Speilberg's "Lincoln." David Straitharn, who played Weldon's partner in this episode, played Secretary Seward in "Lincoln."
One of my top three episodes. 1. Payback, 2. Out Where The Buses Don't Run, 3. Definitely Miami🦩
With you on 1 and 2 👌
I gotta be honest this is in my bottom 20 there’s no way it’s close to season two episode 12 not even close to Evan not even close to when those young punks were rating houses starring East Morales not even close
i love the character, Hank. He reminds me a lot of......me! 🤪😋🤣🤪
Walter Brennan imitation at 1:32.
Bruce McGill. The quintessential Michael Mann standout.
@Miami Vice
Could you please upload the ending of this episode (brothers in arms ending score)? Thanks!
Clam juice... Is it any good? I was always curious after watching this episode.
Ask Lorraine.... she'll know ;)
@@fslxmt Which Lorraine? The wife or the computer? 😉😎
My favorite scene was when he first met Castillo. "Ah come one loutenant put it there!!!"
Happy to see Tubbs understood the important value of the Floppy Disk.
Have "Never" got tired/bored of this show...........was a Huge" disappointment to me when it ended,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Absolutely loved/love it..............what "Ever" they did with this show they "Got it right" etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen to that...fantastic then now and always
I love Bruce McGill just for Hank Weldon on Miami Vice and Jack Dalton on MacGyver.
I love crazy ppl!
Or should I say ppl that are viewed as crazy
Man, I thought I lived in some dumps before. This place is far worse than anything I've been in. Bruce McGill is great in here though...
1st world problems...most Filipinos would kill to have place like that.

All time all time top ep. And to boot got to meet McGill in Ft Lauderdale a few years back..
3:14 Mickey's Mouse Voice xDDD🤣
Forge 007 - Who doesn’t wanna be Sonny Crockett ?
This was a good one. Got me at the end.
Hank wasn’t crazy, but the guilt finally got to him.......
Lorraine is the greatest female character in the show.
Bruce McGill channeling his "Florida man".
Loved It 🕶️🌴💓🎧
I love this episode
I think Hank needs more than clam juice my man.
D Day Is an Excellent Actor
Does this come in a whole episode ?
1:17 Tubbs is not holding the wheel and magically changes lanes.
I'm telling on Tubbs
This plot twist was better executed in an episode of Miami Vice called "Out Where the Buses Don't Run". Background music was Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms”.
This clip is from this episode you are talking about.
In case you were wondering how Daniel Simpson Day turned out... Not bad considering all of his courses were Incomplete.
This episode is loosely based on a true story that occurred in Miami in the 1970s.
What was the story?
"Lorraine" codename for Amiga.
Well macgyver trusted him, and Sam bekkett
J 50 didn’t have a chance…..Hank fixed that problem, forever.
This was one of the best episodes of the series!!
Crockett is fed up with this guy!!
💗
Where are Crockett's shoes.
Greetings America.... LOL🇳🇿
mello!
