r/MiamiVice

He reveals he is Orlando Calderone just as I figured he would..... definitely a full circle moment this WILL be a great movie for sure.

Wiki says that a nip slip got past the censors when Callie hands Sonny his drink. It doesn't mention the Basic Instinct moment when Callie swings her legs over the bed in Crockett's beach house. Full Brazilian to boot.

Just finished Evan. For those who haven't had a chance to see it yet, I'll post the link in the comments where I found it.

I had first heard some vague plot point about the episode when I first started watching the show earlier in the year, and then I got to season 4 and realized I hadn't watched that episode, then found out it wasn't on most streaming services. Finally got a chance to watch it, and it's definitely got to be in the top 3 episodes.

Really moving, great visuals and cinematography, great storyline. It was great to revisit Season 1 Miami Vice after getting through almost the entire series. Now all I've got left to watch is Freefall.

I'm a big fan of the small role Linus Oliver (portrayed by Ron Taylor) played in Calderone's Return. He had some smooth and funny dialog in the episode and I was disappointed when he was killed off.

Some of my favorite quotes by Linus or in the interactions with him:

Tubbs: "Don't you read the newspapers? Dealers like you are dropping like flies."

Linus: "Dealer? What you mean dealer? Like car dealer?"

Linus: "You're infringing with my constitution. You got no right to open that suitcase."

Linus (when caught with drugs): "Look man. It ain't mine. I was just holding it for this guy, you see?"

Crocket: "Holding for or holding out on."

Linus: "Look here, man. Looks like this is the time for me to check out and for you dudes to take over. Ciao."

Crocket: "Guess again, Bucko."

Linus: "Uh uhhh. No way, Jack. If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, no way am I gonna go in there tonight and get my face shot off. You're looking at a conscientious objection. No man, look. The dude walks in the door, you grab him. Simple."

Does anyone else remember this?

I remember reading an early Ain’t It Cool News review of Miami Vice (2006) that mentioned a big shootout involving Neptune (the pimp from the opening) that supposedly rivaled the shootout in Heat.

Then the movie came out and the scene was nowhere to be found. For awhile afterward, I remember people online asking, “What happened to the Neptune shootout?”

As far as I know, it’s never appeared in any released version. With Mann reportedly working on a new “Final Cut,” I’m wondering if there’s any chance that sequence still exists and could finally be restored.

Am I remembering this correctly, or does anyone else remember that original report?
