I initially wrote this off as a shitty remake in the tradition of Starsky and Hutch and Dukes of Hazzard, but after seeing trailers and reading up on it a bit, it has become one of like three movies I'm looking forward to this summer.

7/6/2006 10:40:38 PM

I may avoid this film

7/6/2006 10:42:31 PM

It's gonna be hot.

7/7/2006 1:01:04 AM

Just watched the trailer. -5 for the Linkin Park song.

7/7/2006 7:46:29 AM

Oh shit I didn't even realize.

Oh well, when Gladiator came out they used Bawitaba da bang da bang diggy diggy diggy in the trailers and that still turned out extremely well.

^ha, are you serious.

7/7/2006 7:57:32 AM

Yeah you don't remember that? I thought the movie was gonna be a joke.

7/7/2006 8:10:28 AM

Let's hope it's not a "Starsky", tho I'm getting a very Bad Boys II vibe, maybe it's the miami thing. Still the only movie that I actually want to see this summer. (Superman at IMAX was surprisingly good tho)

7/7/2006 9:47:47 AM

^It's a Michael Mann film. The man does not make shitty films.

7/7/2006 10:07:40 AM

atleast it was the Jay-z version of the song

7/7/2006 10:10:40 AM

The most important question......


is the theme music intact?

7/7/2006 10:13:40 AM

THIS IS YOUR CONSCIENCE.

7/7/2006 10:15:30 AM

MICHAEL MANN DOES NOT MAKE STARSKY AND HUTCH OR BAD BOYS II TYPE MOVIES

GO WATCH HEAT AND COLLATERAL.

7/7/2006 7:31:52 PM

Rolling Stone wrote that there's a shoot-out at the end that's supposed to be better than the bank robbery shootout in Heat.

That was enough for me.

7/7/2006 7:59:31 PM

gotta love the cheap non-80s remake of a wonderful TV show

7/7/2006 8:21:00 PM

This movie is gonna be great, gritty and deep. Not some over the top Bad Boys shit

7/7/2006 8:31:04 PM

I gots sneak preview tickets yo.

I'm a little nervous cuz I ain't seen no pastels in the preview. That's critical.

Anyway, I'll let y'all know the dill.

7/25/2006 4:26:03 PM

looks like a good flick to me

and in fairness, starsky wasnt a classic...but it was funny

"G'head...Do it...do it...do it"

7/25/2006 4:27:24 PM

Mann was one of the executive producers of the Miami Vice tv show if I remember right.

7/25/2006 4:49:18 PM

^^^ wtf, hook me up yo.

7/25/2006 4:55:52 PM

Anyone know if any theaters around here are going to have a midnight showing Thursday night?

7/25/2006 5:06:22 PM

was just about to bttt this. and yes, i recently found out that mann was involved in the tv show. might've even been the creator, i don't remember.

7/25/2006 5:41:20 PM

^Yes he was the executive producer. He never directed a single episode, but his hands were all over the production of the show during the first two years. "Evan","Out where the busses don't run" and "Definitely Miami" are some classic episodes from the first two years.

7/25/2006 6:21:28 PM

I may avoid this film

Last of the Mohicans
Heat
Insider

that should be enough reasoning

7/25/2006 7:39:39 PM

shit you could take off that first one and still have enough reason to see it

7/25/2006 7:59:20 PM

Last of the Mohicans
Heat
Insider

That should be enough reasoning.

Not knocking the two struck films. It's just Heat is completely awesome. Supposedly Miami Vice has a shootout that upstages the bank robbery scene in Heat.

[Edited on July 25, 2006 at 8:06 PM. Reason : according to Rolling Stone, that is.]

7/25/2006 8:02:10 PM

Jamie Foxx? No thank you.

7/25/2006 8:04:55 PM

He was the bomb in Booty Call.

7/25/2006 8:10:38 PM

no philip michael thomas+none of this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EyU2P5SFjbA&search=miami%20vice

7/26/2006 7:23:17 PM

been seeing good reviews

7/28/2006 10:27:32 AM

Yeah same here, can't wait to see it tonight.

7/28/2006 10:30:13 AM

Jamie Foxx is a good actor

and that fucker is funny as hell

7/28/2006 10:32:09 AM

^^^rottentomatos has it at 49%, but I suppose that is better than average in this day and age.

7/28/2006 11:23:45 AM

I checked CHUD and they gave it a 9 out of 10 so I think it should be pretty good.

[Edited on July 28, 2006 at 11:35 AM. Reason : .]

7/28/2006 11:32:35 AM

gonna be good, I love the film style that this movie uses that was used in collateral

cheap?

This should rock, I'm seeing it after work tonight.

7/28/2006 1:23:28 PM

Gong Li is awesome, but god that Linkin Park song drives me nuts.

Hmmm. I'm still debating on whether to go see it or not.

7/28/2006 1:33:41 PM

I'm actually a fan of that Linkin Park song, with or without Jay-Z

7/28/2006 1:52:25 PM

it should be called Collateral Vice

its the same gimmicks and all that and it doesnt even related remotely to the old show really

sucked in my opinion, same ol bad boys training day type style of movie

7/28/2006 1:57:47 PM

i like how they still got the all important phil collins (albeit a remake)

but its getting decent reviews

7/28/2006 1:58:16 PM

seasons 1&2 for 35 at circuit city

7/28/2006 2:23:55 PM

Summer, re-runs.

7/28/2006 2:43:39 PM

Damn, I've gotta figure out when I can find the time to see this.

more like Bad Boys III. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

7/28/2006 3:50:09 PM

Saw it today and as usual Michael Mann delivers. The basic storyline (and the trailer park scene) is taken from the "Smugglers Blues" episode from the first season.

7/28/2006 9:33:08 PM

I get seriously bored every time I see the trailer or hear about this movie.
