The Influence Of Miami Vice - Why Miami Vice Is Still Relevant In 2024 

It was exactly of its time. Dude, just look at the clothing and design of the show.

Totally agree! I was 10 when it hit the screens, I'm 48 now and still a huge fan! Loved how the music fit the scenes, and of course, I LOVED Sonny 😍

Lethal weapon is amazing! Definitely plan on making a few videos on the first 3 Lethal Weapon movies.

I still wish they’d resurrect the Bren Ten.

Yeah lethal weaopn has an amzing soundtrack and I plan on doing a similar video on it soon.

I agree 100%. I loved the first 3 Seasons. I think Season 4-5 is when it started to get too dark. But season 1-3 are amazing.

@@VHS_NEON I fully agree. I didn't even notice its influence on the Bad Boys franchise until you mentioned it. Are you going to do a ranking video of your favorite Miami Vice episodes?

@@clarissawestbrook2203 I will definitely. Working on it atm. There are some really good ones.

I cannot count how many times I have rewatched all 5 seasons of MV on Peacock. In 2024, it will be 40 years since the series premiered and look how many people still love it, some who weren't even born 40 years ago. What other show can say that? And lest I forget, Don Johnson and PMT are the best looking duo in TV history then and forever. The chemistry between them was amazing 🔥♥️

@@lindacollins903 I agree I was born in 1994 but I love Miami Vice and even though it's a perfect time capsule of the 1980s and still feels fresh and modern too.

And they'll gonna celebrate it in Avalon Hotel in Miami this September. 😉

How would you rank the seasons?

@@randywhite3947 Best season is 2, then 1, then 5, then 3 and last 4

Oh yeah! Prodigal Son was way ahead of its time and opened up to what's happening today. Amazing episode from the series. One of many actually.

Get some espadrilles no socks and hike up the sleeves on your blazer 👌

Macy's started that whole "Miami Vice" section yet again in the early 2000's. i lived in LA when the show was on, so the clothes were everywhere. And yes, I tried to re-create my MV style in the present day. One white linen suit; one deep orange (to use as mix and match); 5 designer tshirts; 2 notched lapel suits, one light gray and once dark navy; 6 dress shirts; and 4 ties. Got footwear from a couple different stores and my closet looks 80's badass again!

Great video!!

@@daisyydaisyy7122 thank you 🎷

Tale Of The Goat; Honor Among Thieves?; Theresa; El Viejo. And yes, these are ranked by Jan Hammer's music.

Miami still has a lot from back then. It still has the same vibe and most of the same builings. Have you ever been there?

they did

Yes true I'm trying to synch the videos now but to be honest, people seem to like it anyway so maybe they don't really care that much.

More like by the real life situation that Scaface talked about. Not so much by the movie itself.

@@VHS_NEON true but one big influence solely from Scarface was the synth music score. Also Scarface may of helped Miami Vice being filmed on location in that the filming of Scarface was driven out of the town of Miami by the Cuban American Comunity that didn’t like how its town and culture were depicted. But by the time of Miami Vice a few years later, they didn’t seem to have that problem with the comunity and actually generated income and gentrification. So I think It might have been like what happened to The Godfather in that Italian Americans first were in fear of it, then were romanticized by the style despite the blood and embrace it.

True but honestly, this video was a total success for me. Great views and a lot of subs and likes so I think most people don't mind it being so random. Still, its one of my first videos and my editting has been improving lately.

@@VHS_NEON glad to hear it! Keep improving!

Loved that show ❤
