to live and die in la has a really weird few shots at the end. chase's truck pulling up and parking somewhere, then after the credits there's a like jump-scare sound hit with a close-up of chase's face. what was up with those

I, too, have always been puzzled by the meaning of the last shot in this film. Can the thread help?

Vukovich has basically become Chance, at the end.

The end of the film is him pulling up at Ruthie’s place in Chance’s truck, and knocking on the door to tell her she’s now working as an informant for him, and she isn’t going to be leaving town like she planned.

That last shot is Ruthie looking at Vukovich but seeing Chance, and realizing her nightmare isn’t over.

A bit ham-handed, but probably better than the other ending they shot, where Chance is alive and the two of them have been banished by the Secret Service to some place in Alaska.

Great, thanks!

Sometimes people ask me if there are any obvious signs that Miami Vice was made in the 1980s, so I say "Have you ever seen the episode where Edward James Olmos takes out a KGB hitsquad with a katana, to fulfil the bushido code he learned while on assignment in Thailand(!?)"

Yeah, Olmos is great: in an era when every cop's boss was this angry shouty guy, he decided to do everything with this quiet intensity.
