For anyone wondering, Jim Zubiena cleared up a few things about this scene himself. He said he dropped the magazine and cleared the weapon so nobody could use it on him as he left, and that forensics at the time were unable to get useable prints from gloves.
Jim Zubiena is certainly an expert with firearms. But the camera was undercranked to create the illusion of an even faster draw than he (or anyone else) could do. It is SO obvious if you look at how fast his shirt tail lowers back down. Or maybe it's an expert, too... Another fact proving I am right: Jim himself said he performed the drill in 1.3 seconds when the scene was filmed. But if you time the scene with a stopwatch, you'll find the drill takes 0.65 seconds in the show. Because the camera was undercranked by 50% when the scene was filmed, making the drill look twice as fast when played back at the normal frame rate of 23.97 frames per second. I am an experienced shooter and a retired film editor.
This was really cool and all but the fact that he touched the SPAS before putting the gloves on really bothers me lol, that was enough to get a full set of prints too.
After a decade of pale, bloodless action on TV, even including not showing Marshall Dillon shooting the bad guy, Race Bannon holding the rifle up and the bad guy just falling out of the tree with no shot shown on Johnny Quest, this scene let me know that Miami Vice was going to be a different kind of show. It was.
Michael myers never scared me … was always this dude
Lol😂 At least he was kind enough to unload and show clear.
Those windows got destroyed and a few seconds later they are all fixed up 0:58
Damn I didnt realize AIWB was a thing back in the day.
Atze Schröder is a famous German comedian. Check it out!
His Theme Music is so Sinister.
Those drills 🔥🔥🔥
The audio overdub of the shots dont match the visuals.
It’s almost comical how fast he did that.
Quick draw McGraw
I think that’s the same place they pulled up to in Scarface, to meet Frank Lopez.
You know what a chazer is, Frank? That's a pig that don't fly straight. Neither do you, Frank.
He set up a tactical course for us when I was stationed at Ft Benning, it was when I was an Infantry Recon Scout Spc.
The beginning looks like a scene straight our of Scarface. I thought the guy was tony montana

Clever.
Why Would The Hitman Need To Go Through The Hassle of Putting On Rubber Gloves Just To Use A Shotgun, He Could Have Used His Pistol Instead.
Max damage.
This guy taught my first CCW class 🙂

I was wearing yellow tinted glasses for a summer, it kept everybody on their toes. I had to retire the glasses.
😂😂😂
The mag dropped, why?
so nobody could use it on him as he left
That was so fucking clean!
Touches gun, then puts on the gloves. Lol
Damn, Tucker Carlson's back story is pretty wild.
It's the government 🤣
Favorite M V scene
Touches the gun with his hand then puts the gloves on
The Great Jim Zubiena!! The only problem....he left the gloves on the scene. Still.....so COOL!

70s-80s thriller = anyone with amber lenses in aviator glasses is the shooter
Now watch this in slo-mo. The whole thing still goes down in 3 seconds.......in SLOW MOTION
From that position I’m 2 shots in 1 second from the draw. You have to be fast and accurate.
Assassin wears gloves, shoots people, takes off gloves and tosses them on the ground. The fingerprints are on the inside of the gloves.
Wasn’t an issue back then.
God that was so fast. And smooth
Hasn’t it been proven in real life that the Moz technique is bullshit?
Damn 1980s Paul Hardcastle out here merchin boys 😅...
Damn he’s fast
Outstanding
It cracks me up that he finishes by dropping the magazine and cycling the slide. You can tell he is a competition shooter.
That's true but he also did it so nobody could grab it to shoot him in the back while he ran
I love this scene. Rando with a revolver may have gotten the jump on Zubiena but it is clear who the predator and prey is.
Pro shooter vs Duty only shooting
My favorite scene from that show. But why rack the slide just before dumping the gun?
Removes a round in the chamber. Drops the magazine. Prevents someone from using the gun as he leaves
It actually took multiple takes to get the scene shot. His vinyl gloves caused several malfunctions. He was SMOOTH back in the day
You ain't training, unless it is raining. Muscle memory drills. Like a finely tuned Pro athlete. Practice, practice, and succeed.
Paul Harrell showed me a modified version of this. It works well.
the building they pull up to is used as the front entrance of frank lopez's house in scarface
What was the point of dropping the magazine and clearing the gun. Never made sense to me.

This is Frank Lopez house from the movie Scarface.

1:19 Those 3 pops were flawless. Zubiena said that took 7 takes, because of the gloves 😁
I hope they saved those gloves for when DNA becomes a thing. Heh
Michael Mann, season 1-3 till this day. Flawless and the hitman his only weakness dounuts
amen to that bother !!!!!!
