Anyone notice at 8:36 the Countach has different taillights to 9:05 then changes back to normal at 9:19 ? Or am I just paying too much attention to detail ?
@robbycan He's a great driver, in this chase and many others its part of the idea to keep the guy who after you still insight that adds excitement and intensity, if he gets away from them straight away and he clearly would there wouldn't be a chase at all
@5eurocups2005 how can you say he's a great driver if he can't get away from anyone? Crockett is a character, he doesn't know he has to keep the plot going. The writers, of course, do.
@robbycan His car is twice as fast and you can clearly see from most of his chases that he goes at high speeds and drives beautifully but i guess that down to the show that the cars always catch up not Crockett "the character"
Too bad this didn't include my favorite chase: the one where Sonny and Trudy are chasing a guy down and at the end of the chase, Trudy kills the suspect. There were some very nice closeups of their faces: Sonny looking grim, Trudy frightened, with the wind whipping up her hooker wig.
@Artaud1957 That sure is awesome chase. It was Trudys first shootout in force too. It was included in the other part, but NBC Universal took it down... :(
Unfortunately, the black guy is not Wesley Snipes but actor Michael Wright who has also starred in the original V miniseries and TV show. The episode in question is about a Vietnam vet & assassin carving up prostitutes. He almost gets Gina which is when Crockett gives chase. I may be wrong about which Season it is from but I think it is part of Season 3.
@smitman55678 ...and what comes to the automatic transmission, the reverse light flash you see then the car accelerates from the alley is from one of their stunt cars (they used De Tomaso Panteras and some Pontiac Fieros as an constructed stunt cars), not from the real Testarossa. Testarossas were never built with automatic transmissions. There are many shots from the original cars clutch pedal and the shift stick even in this video. :D
Don't feel bad, man. I got hit with one too when I tried to do a tribute to a t.v. show called Martial Law. And the worst part is that series isn't being shown on syndication anymore and it's not even on DVD yet.
These chases were boss and I loved em' all, especially that last one.
Slantnose Porsche Cabriolet, FTW. It looks like a Gemballa kit on it. Do you have the chase when Crockett and Tubbs chase a green AMG Hammer Mercedes Benz? In the background was a song by U2. Please upload it, if you can. lol
@username121709 , video cameras in the 80s didnt have the LDS (light detector sensor) technology like they do today, film could only pick up blue and red with out going out of focus
In the scene with the boxes its a Testarossa, but just in the next shot its the De Tomaso Pantera, recognizable by the black rear bumper and different (i would say ugly) taillights.
Yep, they used specially modified 1981 DeTomaso Pantera GT5 as an stunt car. It fitted perfectly, middle engine, low stance and easy to create kit car that looks enough of Ferrari Testarossa.
I loved the music, could not believe it was Andy Taylor from Duran Duran was the artist behind it. The car, the action, the music and dialogue pure Miami Vice.
2 real Testarossas were used in Miami Vice while a 3rd stunt car was made from a Ford Pantera so cameras could be mounted. Even though the "Daytona" in Miami Vice was fake it still looked cool. The Testarossa was a sweet car, but I prefer it in either red or yellow.
I like how the Testarossa is evidently an Automatic, judging from the slight flash of reverse lights when Don Johnson get back in after clearing the boxes out of his way.
