The movie itself wasn't all that bad. Yeah I know Ferrel was an iffy casting for Crockett. The main issue with the movie was it didn't have that 80's Miami Vice swagger that put it into a different class of shows, and the music was a big factor in that. Foxx did alright as Tubbs, a little different take but I was still feelin the flow. At the end of the day, its hard to fine someone as cool as Don effin Johnson
@masterchief2556...dude, too bad you're way too young or weren't even born yet back in '84 when this theme came on TV every week. This song IS what Miami Vice was ALL ABOUT for most of the viewers. The song got your attention, the acting and the cars kept you engaged. Yeah, a re-mix would've definitely worked for this film...
P.S.- Read up on the song influence for A-500 by Klause Badelt. (Hint: Crockett's theme).
Nice job, but wouldn't have worked. The show was never about dwelling in the past, it was cutting edge, it would never have done something retro. Including the theme in the movie would have been totally inappropriate. By having everything new and cutting edge, it became the best tribute to the show that could have been. The inclusion of "In The Air Tonight" was enough of a nod, and was used to heighten the drama as it was in the series pilot and not just for old times sake.
@LightningChimp...you do realize the song A-500 is a nod to Crockett's theme? And the movie name "Miami Vice" is the biggest nod to the show yet. The original theme was way ahead of it's time, so a slightly remixed/updated version would've done well. Just my opinion. Great movie eitherway...
No, sorry thats not how it should have been done, because it has been done as best as possible.
The movie sucked but the trailer, in my opinion, is the best movie trailer ever!
The trailer made me watch Miami Vice in the theatre in 2006 because it just rocks. The music fits the pictures so well the bass is sooooo low... I just love it
Voices man, Ross Ballard or whatever his name was, has to be the second most best musical break in the series.. with the speed boats? Either way, I would love a movie sequel..
I appreciate the nastalgia and a good job on syncing that up. But it just doesn't work in this era as it did in the 80s. I love both, by the way. I am biass when it comes to Michael Mann projects, anyway.
Dude, good job! the movie would have grossed another 50 million if they used that. I thought the movie was just ok, but you just throw in the old theme and i guarantee more fans would have shown up.
Yup. I agree. They also should have hired the original actors (Don Johnson should lose weight though). Better yet, Matthew McConoughey should have starred as Crockett (a Southerner). Collin Farrell's Irish thugspeak can still be heard in the movie.
Absolutely. That movie and "The Keep" are phenomenal.
"The Keep" in particular happens to be the very first Michael Mann film I ever saw. It is second only to "Thief" as far as his directorial work goes. In my opinion.
yea even jamie fox didnt want to finish the movie becaue he said the director had no direction and the story made no sense.how you gonna have one character dress like hes still in the 80s then the other like hes in a video today
He was gettin interviewed for his next movie after the vice movie flopped. I cant remember what show it was on. I think it was for that movie jarheads though,not sure. but i remember him sayin it. and i was like man this is a real ass dude right here for sayin that.exactly how i felt about it too.
This Re make was a cross between a 2 fast 2 furious film and a rap video of MTV. Nothing like the original film and nothing will come close. Miami Vice the tv series was great it had cool music great actors and a Ferrari Daytona. When will they learn you cant make the best better or change the past. So please no more re makes keep it real keep it 1980's
the tv series was great but this movie was also really good. THAT DOESN´T mean it was like the tv series. many people who know the tv series think the movie is bad.. but honestly if you wouldn´t know the tv series would you like the movie... I WOULD!!!
I liked botht he movie andthe series. they didnt remake Miami vice they just upgraded it for the 2000's. thats it. It was almost independent of the series and i liked that. You should always go forward. Never backward.
agree, the casting was a bit off. usually like the guy that played castillo (liked him in collateral pretty well), but i dont think he was really right for castillo. and yea, ditto on colin. don johnson was so much better as crockett
I think that the 2006's movie could have been a great action movie with Farrel and Foxx without being called "Miami Vice", because it has almost nothing to do with the original. I enjoyed the film but not as Vice remake. That, in my opinion, was a dumb idea by Michael Mann. The original classic should have remained untouched.
The 2006 version was more or less a modern version of the original. Meaning that the basic premise stayed that same (somewhat) but everything else was subject to the directors vision.
I mean just look at the trailer, its dark, moody and well....modern. Now listen to the original song that went with it, it showed the modern styles in music that had come through into the mainstream, Rap and Rock (yes I know LP aren't that good).
ya this is this shit!!! why would they channge such a great thing?? we should we-do the hole thing plus i don't like the staff changes to you? they didn't keep true to the show
I only made it like 10 minutes into the movie before deleting it. It has nothing to do with Miami Vice. It's just the same old boring hollywood crap falsely named 'Miami Vice' to make money off of the classic TV series brand name.
If you showed that to a production company/director, they would fire you. I felt like I was watching a trailer at the start of a VHS rental. It does not go together at all. That sound is simply outdated. This movie was completely new and was not meant to be a tribute to the 80's series.
To each his own. Liked both to certain degrees, nostalgic about ground breaking TV way back when. Theres only one sonny crockett though. And I don't even like Don J.
Your editing rocked! Undiscovered talent, you are! Cool idea to go with original instrumental to draw in old school fans while showing the action cuts to the audience to get new people to watch it. Keep it up, send it to MCA, maybe they can include it in their Director's Cut DVD promos for overseas sales...
The movie was a cut and paste job done in Windows Movie Maker but the sound was done in Audacity (Freeware available from audacity.sourceforge.net for anyone who doesn't know)
Dreat job editing. Micheal Mann should see what good work you have done.
