- GoofsAfter Crockett and Tubbs are chased by Lieutenant Pearson in New York (at 48:30), a car drives through the intersection. Its three passengers smile and point at the production. The woman sitting in the front passenger seat can be seen saying "it's Miami Vice!"

Margaret: Sometimes the best things are the hardest to get.
Detective James Crockett: Yeah, but the hardest to get ain't always the best.

Featured review
Your Starting Point
One can approach Miami Vice asynchronously. I recommend newcomers start here, ostensibly a tv movie proper. This episode acts like a stylized hybrid of Thief/Heat, and one certainly sees Mann's two films in this season opener. The acting is taut throughout, punctuated with actors who would define crime cinema throughout the 80s and 90s as well as into the 21st century. Highlights include one of the best soundtracks to any episode as well as Jan Hammer's propulsive score.
