What is the name of the big white boat that loose at end to our heroes?

It^s a humongous cigarrboat.

[Nixcilak]

@daniellandgrens

The name of it is 'Leading Lady'

The name of it, I believe, is the 'Starcraft Cady 50.'

[daniellandgrens]

@Nixcilak Cheers buddy will look that up. There is some other nice clip from this epic tv-serie and boatscenses i need to look up now. Thank^s!

[PsychoPieLSRP]

Hmm lol,the name sounds familiar from MW2 the guy is Hans Zimmer,and this guy is Jan Hammer.

The first part of this is somewhat similar to the intro to The Who's "Can't Explain". I heard that on the radio today and did a double take, because it immediately made me think of this superb episode. I'm willing to bet Jan Hammer was inspired by it, probably subconsciously. It's a great theme, like all Hammer's work on Miami Vice.

I got the Miami Vice complete box with all episodes, couldn't live without it :)

[MrDwombat4000]

And that pretty much defines the 80's. music and all.

That "little" boat "Sting #2" is trimmed wrong...shes' porpoising really bad FIX THAT TRIM! Look at that Cary 50 cleanly slicing thru the water when all the others are being knocked all over,,swells & all.

Man I wish I'd been born before '88, there was so much great TV, music and movies in the '80s and Miami Vice was the very best of it.

[sparced]

if autechre were around in the 80's it would sound like this.

[McLarenMercedes]

@sparced

Possibly. This is far more melodic than Autechre usually is.

[ZlunkeyMonkey]

By far the greatest piece of television I have witnessed.

[MrDreamer123321]

Hey where did you find this whole track????

5/5

[vermillionsands]

It's from the "Miami Vice: The Complete Collection" CD.

[Xubelo]

Dude, you know the episode, "Glades?" Do you remember the tune where Crockett is on the roof ready to rescue the man's daughter? You know where I can get that? It seems rare.

[NewWave80er]

@TransAMGTA1988 Look at "Jan Hammer - The Complete Miami Vice Collection" CD!
