Yeah Michael Mann insisting on using real locations and basically no soundstages is why it sounds so loving awesome. You almost never, ever see that kind of stuff nowadays.

That movie inspired actual criminals to do the same exact poo poo in real life and it went even worse for the cops. And there were only two of them.

“The SWAT team also commandeered an armored car to evacuate the wounded. Several officers additionally equipped themselves with AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles from a nearby firearms dealer.” I loled

Miami Vice gets so campy at times I have trouble believing it wasn’t intentional.

Weird movie, but it’s not the worst.

Was that lingering shot of Yero seething with jealousy as a teardrop rolls down his cheek intended to be so hilariously melodramatic? The movie has a few moments like that, that I started to think Mann was intentionally leaning into camp.
