Miami Vice - Final Scene | Freefall | Miami Vice 

@OVI-Wan Kenobi What date was this?

@@donsandrano1429 Jan. 28th. 1990. And the Crockett style shoulder holster lives on. Just bought my Galco. Fitted for my Glock 19 with 2 extended 32 round mag in the two mag holders. Wish I could find the Short pump gun that Tubbs used . And the shoulder rig that went with it.

@@jeffreydavidconner Are you a cop, or expressing your right to bear arms? lololol

Yeah. Renegade started shortly after. Entertaining yes, but a completely different writing style.

@@jeffreydavidconner This is the two hour series finale that aired May 21st, 1989. Four more episodes aired out of sequence afterwards, from June 1989 to January 1990.

That’s right

Agree!

You ain’t kidding

I watched this in 1990…

I still get emotional when I hear Crocketts Theme

💯

N women by the Short Hairs too!!!

Hassle hoff brought up the rear

Most honest, accurate remark about Miami Vice, ever.

Them and Michael jackson! :)

GOD BLESS YOUR MOM

Must have been wonderful Friday nights. RIP to your mother. I’m sure she still watches re-runs from above!

Me too, friend. RIPJoan.

And so do my mom and I in germany, every time its been so great and were in Love❤

some good memories there.

Lol..Arguably one of the DUMBEST things I've EVER heard

@@BBAKER22 says ONLY you 😄😄

Says me and the 150 + people that like that 🤣🤣

WTF? Are you serious? Lol

@@BBAKER22 yeah

FACTS!!!

Repent to Jesus Christ “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬ J

Roger That!

Those words ended up to be words to remember for a lifetime.

I think for all of us who lived in the 80s that statement applies.

I 100% agree with you. Even today this show in reruns or streaming it is so much better than most shows on tv.

over 40 years old...

one does not really create a classic by design and intent. it just sorta comes together in some perfect form that we only recognize after the fact. that was this show, that captured the zeitgeist of an era. a time and a place that now live only in memory and we shall never see again.

I hate how everyone prefers to write off Miami Vice as a "fad-style over substance" type show because even when you take away all the cool music, clothes, cars, and scenery it's still has better writing and characters than most crimes shows ever made. The music, glitz, glamour, and tropical scenery is just the icing on the cake.

No we all feel the same , it was the end of an era, things were changing and we did not want to lose all the things that you descibed..

Don was the face of the 80's man.He was a "pretty boy" & masculine at same time.He was arguably more popular than Harrison Ford.

wrong - The Simpsons hasn't been good for over 20 years now

yep. and how important the end is . often these days they butcher the series finale. storys are aloud to /must have an end and this was a good one.

"Don't know what you got till it's gone" Cinderella's best song!! Released 1989!

LEIDER , IST ES. GENAU SO . 😢

I always knew that on Jan. 1, 1990 things would never be the same. (It was actually March 1990 but same dif). Yep, the 80's. What a time.

I totally agree, I absolutely loved the 80's I wouldn't let my boyfriend pick me up for our date, not until I watched Miami Vice on Friday night I still laugh about it, that's how much I loved that show!

80s sucked. I'll take the 70s anyday.....or even the 60s.

@@kathygray5048 did you marry him or was handsome don in your heart 😍

Rockstar Games tried to have Don Johnson to voice Tommy Vercetti in Gta vice city Because Philip Thomas Voices Lance Vance but they didn't got an agreement so They made Lance Vance Betray Tommy Vercetti in the end otherwise they would have made them have another partnership In game..

They actually were going to miss each other. Don Johnson has said several times that he had a great relationship with Phillip during the show and they still talk.

Lol..Thier acting

A terrific show. Only Crockett could be cool wearing shoes with no socks.

Arguably the DUMBEST thing I've heard in years

​@@glenncawley7908WTF is WRONG with you

I sure agree! So well done. Spoken from the heart.

Ever ❤

And like a real bro you kept it on the DL. I wish I had a brother growing up.

It still brings a tear to my eyes.

RIP and sorry for your loss.

but you just told the world........ we won't tell anyone else..

Rest in Peace

With me it was Callan in the UK in the 60s and early 70s. Look it up. This was before The Equalizer. Classic TV.

My mom passed to, and I watched MV with her. Her favorite episodes were Out where the Buses Don't Run, Evan, and Little Prince. Yea, those are some of my warmest memories too. Here's to our moms!

Remember the memories, she will always be with you. I lost my dad and it still hurts. It only helps when you remember the good memories.

This show truly was a cultural phenomenon. There was nothing like it before on network TV. Watched it with my Dad and we taped it on VHS so my Mom could watch when she got in from working the nightshift at the hospital.

May she rest in peace.

Didn't he and Johnson hate each other to death?

@@thewidesight No they didn't hate each other, they just didn't have any relationship outside the rehearsals. Nothing but just cold co-workers relationship.

none of that don Johnson bullshit worked without EJO

And went on to dominate one of the best TV show ever created in Battlestar Galactica. If ever anyone could describe a scene without uttering a single word, it is Olmos. Great actor.

Absolutely Takes cool to a whole new level !

Ever hear of an airplane?

You took the words man out of my mouth brother I graduated 1981 cruising with old-school muscle cars. My parents were alive and healthy. Music was awesome. Now I’m just a sad old man.😢

@@stevo196two9 I'm only 39 and feel the same. I graduated HS in 2003 and it seems like every other kid was driving a Mustang, Camaro, modified Eclipse, Civic or integra with neon lights. Went to plenty of illegal street races at night, half drunk, running away from cops, later laughing about it with friends. No cell phones, stupid facebook and instagram. So glad I've caught the last good days. It's so sad to see young kids these days just sitting glued to their cell phones, not having any life!

Just needs a Phil Collins soundtrack

The girls too 😁

Armani, Ferrari, you just can’t go wrong. Yes, this show was one of the greatest.

As well as the boats and the guns. End of an era

@@MrGilRoland How could he afford all that on a cops salary. I thought the Ferrari was impounded from som drug bust?

Facts…..

@@ForwardMotionManagement Not quite sure what you mean by "facts"....?

​@zmangozer1918 he's agreeing w him. It'd like saying ...."word."

AND?

I wish the social media part never got invented

Yep

Very well said!

so right/ i was having so much fun .now everything stinks/ but i least i was there.

Technology is allowing me to watch this

There were great times, weren't they? 90's not too bad either!

I totally agree wish to have a time machine 80’s the best decade period

Absolutely

70’s, Hold my beer, roach etc….

90s ruled all...everyone knows that

@@genegottloeb7281You’re a fan of weed with 2% THC? 😂

Absolutely No Major War booming Economy crime went down drug use went down no division like the 60,s and 70,s and since Every Decade War Recession Crime Worse Drugs use worse and all these decisive issues worse then ever Truly a great decade.

Lol..

This statement is echoed frequently when and wherever people reminisce about the show. ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE TV. It really meant something then. Before binging and even cable was popular or VCRs we had mini-series like Roots, Shogun, Thorn Birds, Bourne Identity ... and apparently A LOT of acting vehicles for Richard Chamberlain. :D Amazing Times. Good Times.

@@TonyArjona Lol Bro now I know you're the real deal because you mentioned some things I haven't seen since the 80s! hahaha Richard Chamberlain ahahahaha that made me laugh

100%

ABSOLUTELY!

I recognize myself in those words.😁👍

Nope. They were just the best of times. There was nothing bad about the 80s. Best decade in history.

@@MonasticSolace Yes, it was. Please, take me back there. I wanna go to a video arcade and take a jet flight without getting strip searched in front of everyone and a really cool airport with nice bars and great rock music.

I always thought it would have been cool to produce an episode where Crockett and Tubs hooked up with Bo and Luke from the Dukes of Hazzard . Like they visit Hazzard County to help Bo and Luke with Boss Hogg and Roscoe. Then Bo and Luke return the favor and head down to Miami and use their Driving skills on the streets, to catch criminals.

I always hoped they’d come back for a feature length reunion. Never happened sadly. Never will now. Thankfully both actors are still alive and well and so is Edward James Olmos. Castillo was the coolest of the 3 of them imo. What a moustache!

Yeah!

@@HyperInflation2020 lol You're not serious.

@@theonofswords3764 Castillo was one cool, badass dude!

Im 35 and i never watched the show but im a huge 80s fan from the music to the movies and envy those that grew up in it. btw i think the best tv show ever is the wonder years hands down

Best tv show of all time? Lol...In what world? Because it's certainly NOT in the REAL world

@@BBAKER22 in my world. I am not responsible for yours. :)

I was... for sure

@@NapFloridian How come Switek wasn't there at the end? Although he was suspended and killing three goons and it was never revealed what happened to him.

Yep , you could say he is the MANN !

Charles Hall ,,, He was once ,, he sure did not bring any of that Magic Touch back with his 2006 movie version , compaired with the original tv shows it miss- fired in every way , No Chemistry between the new Crocket & Tubbs(Farrell & Foxx) & a dull script/storyline all added up to a forgettable movie , any episode of the Tv Series was better written & far more enjoyable than that disaster ..

He produced it, never directed it

@@roderickstockdale1678 He was writer, Director & Producer of the 2006 movie remake

@@brianjones7907 I was talking only about the show

Very well said. We live in a completely different world, and it isn't better.

The last scene indicates that in a foreshadowing kind of way.

Turned 30 in 1989.......The eighties were my Time!!

Sat here with tears in my eyes watching this tonight.

I grew up in the 80's. With all that's been going on recently I really miss those times, that era. It's never going to be like that again. I still collect silk and linen suits though.. 😉

@@catey62 Same here..said I wouldnt...

i was working as doorman at palladium club when don cam in cool:

I think its more of a look back. That's what Crockett said to Tubbs way back in season 1.

Those were the last lines in the pilot episode in 1984. Those were great times

This was one of the greatest cop shows (and shows in general) of all time. The true beauty is it can't be redone or rebooted. The music, fashion and style of the era is just so iconic it just wouldn't survive a remake (the movie was ok but ultimately paled in comparison). Not to mention that the chemistry between it's 2 leads might be the best in history. The only other comparison would be Lethal Weapon. Gosh I miss it...

I view it that way as well, cuz to me it makes no sense for them to separate after all they’ve been thru together. Like, these two dudes need eachother and that’s clearly showcased by Prodigal Son and Too Much, Too Late. Sonny is very sad when he thinks that Rico is actually going to leave him to stay with Valerie, and a bit sad when Rico tells him that he wants to marry Valerie. If Sonny couldn’t handle seeing his partner stay with somebody else, then I have no idea where he gets the strength to completely go different ways by the end of the series

It didn't suggest it to me. It locked it for me. They both went together - south of Miami. Still cops someplace else.

I remember growing up with TV and, most of the ending to show's provided the same feeling, of this ending. I feel like I watched It from the beginning, and I have just seen this part.

@@patricknoonan3610 That’s true. Every TV show felt epic and endings were proper endings. Great times

Learned in college, excellent writing is, when the reader remembers the last page of the writing. Ending TV and movies, the same way is excellent writing.

And the music, man. Nothing like that decade since...really. A few good bands, peeps, but in total, no decade since the 50'- 60's matcched it.

Yup!! Baggy linens!! Tropical shirts

Yep well said

The Goonies and Neverending Story is what those born in the 80s remember. Miami Vice, not so much. Disney back then showing old 80's kids movies nonstop was a great time to grow up. We didn't have school shootings either. Everything felt more innocent.

I agree, I was growing up with Miami Vice, when the show ended I was 21... and yes after that my life was never the same, never.

I'm crying right now as i lost my mother last year and watching this made me very emotional cause she was my best partner just like they were in the series and not only we watched the show but we lived in miami back in those very days as well...you only realise what you had when its gone...

Ya..life was normal then

@@miked.5287 No socks! No Sox

Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!

FACTS!!!

🎯🍻🎶

The music sucked!

The 70s was far better for music so much 80s stuff is cringe

NEVER live in the PAST

True, one part of the (federal) government working cross-purposes against another part thereof (see The Golden Triangle 1 & 2, among others).

Gives a renewed perspective on "Out Where The Buses Don't Run" and how Hank Weldon's actions were understandable. What would this Crockett say different to Weldon?

I think it’s apropos since time has shown the war on drugs was pointless and probably even counterproductive.

@@GHinWI Look at the Miami skyline and that's where the drug money went.

@@GHinWI Ever heard of House Rothschild? It's an ancient banking family that has funded both sides of war. I'm pretty sure the Iron Bank in Game of Thrones was loosely based on it. Anywhats....the war on drugs wasn't pointless to the people profiting from both sides of it.

Let's NOT forget Starsky and Hutch😅

👍

So do I.

The truth is that time doesn't go by, it even doesn't exist. So everything you see in that scene stills is there within it's coordinates.

Golden girls ?

@@georgejetson1025, perhaps. My dad dad, I, and my mom used to watch MIAMI VICE together. My mom died in 1986, and my dad was a faithful fan to The Golden Girls. After my dad died in 1998, The Golden Girls found a small place in my heart. 😉

You are a very lucky guy

Sana katiliyorum dostum..miami vice harikaydi. 80ler muthisti

It rejuvenated Miami for sure!

The original police station was realistic. I was sorry to see Sierra leave the show.

Only Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is up there along with the "Vice" - but I agrre. Best Show ever.

I got into it at age 13 in 2003 thanks to GTA Vice City, and my mom told me the opening titles of that game reminded her of Miami Vice. Watched the whole show from TV reruns recorded on VHS, and it's still one of my favorite shows ever.

@@thomasvleminckx ohh man you’re so lucky) remember me playing gta vice city when I was younger, and that atmosphere hit me 😍 Phil Collins, Neon Lights, Miami Beach and Miami Vice - what can be better in this world?

Nice way to close it out.

What does it mean?

Greatest beginning, greatest ending…..MV the best there ever was.

So true!!

I arrived to Miami on Mid-June 1989! as I watched that show in Peru.

It's so unfortunate this doesn't include the wrap up music video.

Didnt realize or recall it landing on my birthday... But yes..end of the wonderful 80s, my childhood, high school, etc... Miami Vice was such a showcase to look back at what were... The good ol days...

Your American 80s died, not in the rest of the world.

Long before series such as The X-Files and Babylon 5 would boast of their story "arcs", Miami Vice was one of the first series to have a strong arc of character development throughout its run, particularly with regards to Crockett. Even in long-running series of the time, most characters were basically static and unchanging, but Crockett begins Miami Vice as a youthful, energetic cop, still optimistic despite having seen the dark side of his job on numerous occasions, and believing with great idealism that he can make a difference. Eventually, however, the anger and pain caused by the betrayal and/or loss of nearly everyone he cares about lead to his dark side taking him over. Finally, both he and Tubbs realize that they cannot really create change within a corrupt system and choose to free themselves from it. The only other character with an equivalent arc is Switek (although it does not really start until the final season of the show).

Moving MIAMI VICE montage with the song "Tell Me" by TERRY KATH.

Actually three of the lost episodes aired during the summer of 1989 after Freefall. The fourth one was the one that aired in 1990 on the USA network. In fact, NBC aired reruns of Vice up until July 26, 1989, two months after the final episode.

Thanks for this. I was wondering why this episode was not the last one on the DVD box set.

Pop ok

Starky y Hotch en los 70 😃

70s had better music but 80s had better tv shows. Maybe better movies too.

I don't know if you know but Michael Mann directed some of starsky and Hutch episodes and you can tell too lol but he was the executive producer of this show and helped upstart alot of new coming actors at the time like Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts to name a few

The homes were outstanding.

True. Look at the chainsaw scene in Scarface to see what South Beach was like before MTV and Crockett came to town.

@@vincecorvaia4661 30 years further back, it was in its heyday as the headquarters for Sinatra and Elvis (Fontainebleu). The Jackie Gleason Show was broadcast from there.

Miami during this time was a rough old town. Was there.

DeSantis making Florida great again! Have faith.

Bromance is not the word to use. This was solid friendship, by definition. Trying to define it with todays' perverted vocabulary is a disservice. Friendship, respect and trust.

@@tooltime9260 Nothing like getting preached to by someone with no sense of humor. Please, spare me the sanctimonious nonsense.

Crockett and Tubbs ❤️ ❤️

This generation of kids, as you say, do not even know what it is to play sports from the time you came home from school till your mother called you in for supper, unsupervised!

@@thesting6820 facts. It's sad. A clear day meant it was a chance to play football or basketball with friends. Now the kids just hang outside and look down at their phones.

@@RoLPeace We even played sports when Atari came out, though a bit less . I don't understand these kids, are they afraid to play sports because of gangs?

It was a magical time!

Don't forget the music..
