Crockett Chases Down A Rape Suspect | Miami Vice 

Jeff Fahey

yeah and it was topee./Maynoise that done it Classic.

It was too costly to use a real Ferrari Daytona in Miami Vice so it's a replica built on a Corvette chassis. Ferrari did not like the use of the replica and requested that it not be used. The Testarossa was a replica too. The explosion was done with a replica body shell with no engine and other items mainly for safety reasons and a more dramatic effect. To back up my comment as fact, one of the two Daytona Corvette chasis replicas is on permanent display at the Volo Auto Museum.

@@riproar11 Testarossa was a real Ferrari, only for certain more dangerous scenes a replica was created.

@@riproar11 Because they used their name on a fake one, Ferrari requested that the replica get destroyed.

If you ask someone who was alive in the 80s what they remember about Miami Vice, it’s the “In the Air Tonight” scene, and this one. Nothing else was ever on TV like that before (or since)! 😎 ps-maybe also the motorcycle race in the parking garage.

Once they use the tesatorosa, they don't thrash around the cars as much as they did to the daytona

@@go86go the daytona was a corvette and when they got the testarossa they took out the v12 and put in a v8 because it was easier to maintain

This Chase was epic

@@paulthomson9014 - yep, McBurnie CoachCraft made the replica Daytona with a twin turbo V-8. McBurnie was later sued by Ferrari for making the Daytona replica.

They don’t make shows like this anymore that is for sure… Miami Vice was fantastic.

But what about that Chase scene in New Jack City with Chris Rock and Ice T. That takes the Cake.

@@oscarl.ramirez7355 oh how can I forget! That chase scene define Miami Vice as well.

We were taking pics of the lambo on tv with a polaroid.

Same here, but I never grew up. 😎

Same here. The lp5000 countach was the official dream car of kids in the 1980s!

So what lambo did you get???

@@FIoydMayweather I'm still saving up for it. I have about $10 saved so far

Awesome!

Love the countach

How much cocaine would you do back then?

Cool 😎

Best color combination for that car!

One of my favorite Crockett replies of the whole series. 😎

@@retro-dademusic6403 ~ 😃👍😄

And then later, he tells him he smells like a cheap pimp; "Get out of here before I book you for air pollution" 😂

Also, narratively Crocket's car is worth more (in the narrative it's real)

Good eye

Yeahhhh I see it too That Lamborghini so fast, Sonny Crockett need Ferrari Testarossa after this episode

It's not just inspiration, they used it as the outline for the graphic.

So was 2:18

@@floridaloveclifton5175 Indeed! Good eye!

Don’t forget Action

As a gearhead, I did notice, and it bugged the hell out of me. It was really jarring

It was the First thing i noticed

Yeah. The scene was actually shot on two different days and they couldn't get the same car for both days. The second car wasn't a 25th Anniversary model though, as this episode originally aired in 1985 and the 25th Anniversary Countach is a 1989. The two cars used are an LP500 and an LP5000S in European spec. There were a lot of differences even during year-to-year Countach production due to the realities of Lamborghini's low-volume production line in that era, and the tail light surrounds were a point of variation. The scene was originally shot with the LP500, then when director John Nicolella saw the first edit he wanted a reshoot because he wasn't happy with the scene. So the shoot was scheduled but the original car wasn't available. Back in 1985 hardly anybody noticed. The scene went by quickly and people were watching on small televisions with a fraction of the resolution of our computers, and the cars had less than a minute of screen time between them. Nobody involved with filming could ever have imagined that nearly forty years into the future people would have instant access to everything they did via a high-speed global information network, and be closely examining each scene on portable ultra-high-resolution computer screens looking for anachronisms. It was just unfathomable lol.

First countach was probably crashed.

fake ferrari daytona "corvette " vs lambo imposible 🤣

He was better than some movie actors...he brought an intensity to the part. Very believable...

That’s plain BULLSHIT!!!

@@tootsiejoon hooray for therapy?

Underrated actor

In Miami he did really great. He actually become a world super star because of his looks and the great fashion, plus driving Ferrari. At the mid 80s ...it was iconic and large copied by a lot of ppl, including myself. Shame l didn’t have a Ferrari lol... But man, l had my share of chicks :)

Noice

LOL, what a cocky basta!

LoL😅😅😅😅, it would have been funny as fuck if Crockett actually said that to him.

he should have said "Cell block D" in reference to the episode "walk alone"

I think so!

"your honor, im rich and beautiful, can i go now?"

@@gone-by-the-light " yea sure --- bailiff take him away to the nearest jail" next case

"It wasn't me your honor... it was all the alcohol I drank that killed my passengers"

I'm rich, because of my daddy's money

"The finest senoritas in Miami beg me for it"

Which one? There were two very different cars shown here. Both white, both angular, but likely only one an actual Countache!

the Countach actually started in the 70s, it just didn't meet US regulations until the 80s, hence why it's basically become synonymous with the era

@@justchillinout2002 Theyre both real. One is Euro spec, the other is US spec with the added white bumpers covering the taillights

Mint condition, I hope.

Countaches were according to the audio bio in NFS3 “more associated with drug dealers”, but i first heard of the car as a kid because of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.

Sharp eye, obviously 2 different Lambos. Perhaps stock footage spliced in with the race stunt?

I noticed that when I was a kid. Didn't know the model years but the slender tail lights was the newer model. Every Lambo poster made was on my walls.

One was a replica or kit car for the high speed shots. Couldn't risk hurting a real 100k lambo

@@gandr.e.5136 Had nothing to do with "newer". One is a Euro spec, the other is US spec.

Crockets door mirror is bent during the chase but when he pulls over its straight

He has always played a great villain, see “Clear and Present Danger” and Season 3 of “24”.

@@tommyboy1675 But he can also play normal characters. Check him out as a college professor in the indie film "Mamitas".

Omg I didn’t knew this was him. Nice to see a portuguese actor in my favorite series. 🇵🇹🇵🇹

Excellent. Dont forget queen of the south as Epifanio Vargas👍😊

He was uber-creepy as Felix Cortez in Clear and Present Danger.

Right

Sonny's trigger discipline was flawed!

They are using two different Lamborghinis for this scene. You can see from the tail lights. One is Euro and one is US spec

swapping that Spyder Daytona for that Tesstaorsa was a flaw --- that was Sonny's machine, all they had to do was get a REAL DAYTONA to replace the replica is all

That's right!

@@BlacKnightRising Objection! That was no deal at all!

Never noticed that before. Thanks.

Very well said

and dont forget the fashion trend!

Yes he was...he was also in Desperado :) Joaquim de Almeida

Maybe one or the other wasn’t available long enough to get all the shots they needed?

Director ordered a reshoot and the original Countach was not available.

I believe one was a kit car.

@@texas-raider they were both authentic 👍😎

@@retro-dademusic6403The Vice car was never a real Daytona, it was built by McBurnie on a Vette chassis. But for the fictional world Crockett was in, it was very cool nonetheless....

No nanny state yet

I'm not sure what generation you're from. We never used to wear seatbelts. I remember my parents got a Volvo and it would beep if the seatbelts weren't engaged. They got seatbelt handles so we could just put them in and stop the beeping lol. It never occured to anyone to actually use the seatbelts. That's how we rolled back in the day

But they are both wearing gold watches, haha. 1:09 en 1:10.

I was an 80's-90's child. I still don't wear one lol

Now someone gotta recreate this scene on GTA five

1:51 is the template for a part of the Vice City title sequence.

That's the game that got me into this great show! All thanks to Lance's classic white Infernus.

@@floridaloveclifton5175 I'm curious if there's a car in the current era that resembles the Daytona. The Stinger used to be it by every little detail front to back, more or less.

@@Streetw1s3r so was 2:18

Yup, Epifanio Vargas

He was probably trying to get out of Miami and buy himself time when he left the jurisdiction. Would answer why he didn't stop and turn around when Crocket when on a separate road from him.

Yeah kind of like White Cadillac's.🤣😂

This is one of my favorite episodes, but I 've always felt that the last scene came out of nowhere... As if they'd added it so the villain wouldn't win, precisely so as not to be politically incorrect

Yep

Or Camilla Vargas husband, Epifanio Vargas from queen of the south 😊👍

But it was not a real Ferrari Daytona. It was a Corvette with a Daytona body.

@@foofighter303 ONE of the Lamo's was a kit car as well. Two very different cars are used for this scene.

No rewind /pause back then, often tail lights would be out then come back on in a chase scene.

Maybe because it knows it's the 80s so seeing it as a period piece is more timeless than it trying to be "ahead".

lol

Holy shit you right, Rayes sure dodged jail time quite a lot ehh

Or at least how much the dollar has devalued.

A real one could. :P The replicar? yeah you're right.

Yeah but the Testarossa will keep up with the Countach! Love both though 😍

He was in the first couple of seasons of "Queen of the South".

He is an AWESOME ACTOR. Everything he does he nails it.

He was on a season of 24. Clear and present danger among other movies we all like👍👍👍

@@matthoward1174 He was great in that!

I am looking for Bucho!

2 different Lambos

Different car.

@@geoffrainville8556 100K machine. It was an option
