AAAAAAA???????

there is so much to unpack in the official trailer but just know that i am so unwell (positive) about. everything in this.

the fact we have a power couple as our two protagonists. the fact we have a female protagonist finally. the way it shows miami beach and the suburbs blending out into the everglades, and the difference in culture in these areas. the fucking gators. the wild shenanigans spreading from screaming on the highway to road rage to uh. the mud pit <3

i am. obsessed. so here's my favorite stills.

@ my fellow Vicies, this documentary is pretty interesting and talks about the impact the show had on... everything, really!

Some of my favourite tidbits under the cut (known to some of you I'm sure but new to me):

It started out as a competitor show to the new and hip MTV and was originally called MTV Cops

Michael Mann originally pitched it as a buddy cop show pilot that he compared to Casablanca… Crockett/Tubbs was there from the very start wasn't it (and now I want a Crockett and Tubbs Casablanca AU!)

Tubbs' character was inspired by Sidney Potier's character Virgil Tibbs in the movie In the Heat of the Night (1967)!

"Johnson's portrayal of Sonny Crockett opened up viewers' and suspects' minds and hearts with a smile, a wink and a look" 👀 Yeah I bet DJ's performance made a lot of people real open-minded real fast…

There was an organized 'rain of panties' from fans dropped from a New York building during a shoot

Edward James Olmos talking about a squabble between him and DJ during their first scene in Castillo's office adding to the tension between the characters aaahh

Michael Mann set strict colour guidelines for the show based on swatches he collected on South Beach, with mandatory exclusion of red and earth tones in the wardrobe and prop department. This started to slip with Dick Wolf though obviously

They couldn't afford to put a real Ferrari Daytona in the show so they just built a fake one?? Putting a fiberglass chassis on a Corvette??? And when Ferrari got mad they made an agreement to replace the fake Ferrari with the Testarossa. And that's why they blew up the Daytona in the show. RIP to real (fake?) one

DJ was dressed by Gianni Versace himself. Also DJ came up with Sonny's look: the blazer to cover the gun and holster, the sockless shoes bc of the heat, and the stubble bc he had to look like he'd been up all night partying and slept in his clothes

Five series of MV remodeled Miami, as the production team created custom neon signs, painted walls and gave many shooting locations a pastel make-over to match the series' design, and so the fake Miami became the real Miami which then started attracting tourists again (tourism was in the toilet when the show first aired)

There is a Miami Vice board game???

"Philip Michael Thomas's performance in Vice City contained plenty of nods to Tubbs" aaaand cut to the scene where Lance Vance says "You're probably gonna wanna kiss me". That's Tubbs alright

Phil Collins played himself in a GTA Vice City prequel game. GREAT
