It was definitely a great revival vehicle for Jan's career. His pervasive themes were certainly one of the major ingredients that made Vice stand out from all the other "just another cop" shows.

Miami Vice was an unforgettable show, but Lt. Martin Castillo's interaction with Crockett and Tubbs made it transcendent. Thank you, Edward James Olmos, for bringing this man to life so well.
You idiot! I have to clean fruity pebbles off of my computer screen now thanks to your comment! Don't you have any understanding of what you've done?! This crap better come off the screen!
In the episode, it's implied/suggested that Gretzky deliberately missed Castillo because he had terminal cancer and wanted to go the "suicide by cop" route to protect his family.
Gretzski missed on purpose. He was committing suicide but he wanted castillo to be the one. In return he left him a fortune for taking care of the wife and kid.
The look which Martin gives Sonny after Sonny's question......conveyed a deep trust, respect, and realization of honor between the two. It was priceless.
Perhaps the best portrayal of the modern samurai whether in movies or television ... the character of Lieutenant Castillo took the show into another dimension... Awesome !!!
Castillo was just flat out cool!!! Didn't miss a single episode of this show! It's as bad ass now as it was then. Thank God for box sets! Our children and grandchildren can watch some real shows...... just like this one!
Edward James olomos translation of Castillio's character perfectly frames the Vice unit and the elements of the show. He's the straight man , serious beyond measure and as a result provides a serious HEAT surrounding the show. SO many tv shows and movies would use Miami Vice as a guide to character and show developement. Miami vice had it all, great cast, great writers, great visuals, great music, just great all around. i can honestly say this show influenced my life. It tapped a string on everything i loved. And it made me make a home out of florida. and i never ever regretted living their, in fact the place readily made all my miami vice fantasies come true. From the setting of the place to the hot cars the hot women the style all of it.
In that suit, Castillo looks like a top MiB agent. I grew up watching this show, it first sites when I was 12 in 1984. Castillo was my dad's favorite character on the show. Mine as well. To this day my father will reminisce about MV, and any movie or TV show he watches where there's a Castillo-like character, my dad will go into the memories of this show.
he is only dangerous to the villains, this is a man who has a firm grip of honour and what he feels he has to do to protect the society. This was my favourite caracter in Miami vice and it is very good acting.
you are right but see this what he was telling to tubbs, there i was anxious that he will beat tubbs up.. "Don't EVER come up to my face like this again, Detective." -- Castillo to Tubbs after Tubbs questions Castillo's flippant attitude toward Barbara Carrow's death
This is easily in the top 5 Miami Vice episodes of all time and one of the many pieces of proof that Edward James Olmos is the coolest person ever to breathe air
Jack Gretsky [Dean Stockwell] knew he was dying & he didn't want to suffer. So the only person he knew would mercy kill him was Marty Castillo. Jack neglected to inform Castillo about the Cancer & just opted for Suicide by Cop, because He knew Castillo would look after His Family! That's why Jack shot & missed on purpose, so that Castillo would not get burned for a Bad Shooting!
@@lydiapetra1211 - He was! But if He would have told Castillo that, then Castillo would not have agreed to kill him. That whole scene was based on an Ancient Japanese Ritual! But instead of Swords, they used Guns!
@@TariusShinobi thanks for refreshing me on it...I remembered that he came to town so this would happen...it's been over 30 years and I still remember so many of the episodes once I start seeing a clip....
Haven't' seen this for about 28 years: thanks man. When the music started at the start of the clip I got a major case of the goosebumps: was not expecting that.
@@jameshoran8 the look on Crockett's face when he looks thru the hole... And then he realized what it was and put his gun away... The dire straits brothers in arms was the perfect choice for that scene.
Ben Robbins Ben let me explain this to you in it’s simplest form. The meaning of “ On this man’s level, death is a profession. Is just that that man is a trained assassin whom was taught more ways to kill someone than you could ever imagine existence did. It’s truly amazing what the CIA can do with our taxes but again we do need those brave men and woman assassins to keep our country safe!! The things that our field agent’s are capable of doing to someone is just truly amazing and would cause a pig and a billy goat to puke 🤮
Miami Vice, I loved the show, it was the best...The characters, the clothes, the Miami Beach scenery, and especially the music made this series a classic...I never get tired of watching it...And it inspired me to wear a badge, which I still do today.
I got the box set season one to five. Awesome show and brilliant actors. Jan hammer music kicks ass! No shows today come even remotely close! 60's, 70's, 80's music/TV Rock!
@@lydiapetra1211 Man, I remember on friday nights back in 1984 I'd buy the most popular dish at 7:30pm at this chinese takeout around my block. It was the 'half chicken fried rice'... good as fuck. I'd race home with it. Prepared my portable table in front of my TV. And as hungry as I was I wouldn't start eating it until Miami Vice started at precisely 8pm. Didn't quite understand the storyline cuz I was too young at the time. But I loved watching the acting, style, attitude, cars, violence and fashion. After the show I'd watch Duran Duran videos on MTv which at that time was the best band in the whole world. It was one of the best moments in my life. I will always remember and honor Miami Vice.
@@davidxrod awww... you are so sweet! Beautiful memories! I so wish I could go back to the 80's....it was a beautiful decade! I completely agree with you...the hot cars, sexy clothes , gorgeous guys and gals, beautiful home....the newest music...great storylines... beautiful homes, boats the ocean.. The best show! We have great memories don't we... God bless you!
@@lydiapetra1211 Yes we do have the best memories. I even bought a light mint colored pastel miami vice suit... lol. The 80s was by far the best decade in history. Every aspect of society was so cutting edge and modern. Best period of the 80s was 81 - 85. I wish I could go back to 1983.. I'd take there with me
@@davidxrod lol...I remember the light mint colored suits..guys started wearing them...lol....did you have a pink shirt to go with it? Yes....it be nice to go back to the80's especially with all the knowledge we inquired. What a great decade it was. Hope you and family are safe and the riotors are not near you guys!
@@SIKE01 You are right. But, in the spirit of the story you are wrong. Its like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The actual story is not the legend. The legend is the story. And becomes THE story. So...........Castillo EVADED A FUSILLADE of bullets standing still, and smoked a CIA vato loco.
I would of shot the scene differently. Castillo would not of been in the same spot at the turn/shoot. Castillo is quiet and he knows better than to let a guy like that turn his back with his hands hidden for so long, and would of anticipated what he was going to do next. The way it is now it looks like Castillo was an amateur and the bad guy got the drop on him easily.
Castillo was awesome. The 2 women in the program were perfect for the roles they were chosen for. All of them were pure perfection in the roles! Castillo never smiled. He was a tortured soul!
One of the best action/police shows of all time. Great acting, awesome music and soundtracks, and amazing scenery. And some pretty amazing guest stars over the years.
best show! The cinematography and use of music on a tv production is second to none and as never been duplicated. Just bought the complete series on Blu-Ray.
Greatest of all Castillo-centered episodes! Nice that there is so much of “Castillo’s Theme” in it - I have Jan Hammer’s Miami Vice: The Complete Collection, and for some reason Hammer never cut the theme all-by-itself, although it makes a couple of appearances in pieces from other eps. For those of you wondering how Gretzky could “miss” at close range with an automatic weapon, I suggest you watch the rest of this ep. Well worth the time spent! One of the two greatest episodes of the entire show, the other being “Out Where the Buses Don’t Run” (which also contains some great, typically-laconic Castillo scenes, even though he’s not the focus in that one).
That's probably why Don Johnson never warmed up to him. They always look like they're about to get into a fistfight every time EJO and Johnson share a scene together.
crazyrabbits to be honnest, seen from my european eyes, johnson was the least interesting actor. His look matched perfectly to the wasp MTV image the production wanted to give to attract the audience, but the real icon in terms of style was Thomas, and the best performing and deepest part were Olmos'. Even with regards to who's got the best girlfriends, there is no competition between melanie griffith and pam grier
Another cool irony is that, years earlier, Edward appeared in an episode of Starsky and Hutch. A few years later Paul (Starsky) directed 3 episodes of Miami Vice. Poetic happenings for 2 shows that were big hits during their run times.
I would have LOVED to have gotten more back story on Captain Castillos character, also the two females officers, they were not given enough story lines.
Kim, you need to watch the episodes “Golden Triangle, Parts One and Two”. Part One was originally entitled “The Score”. These episodes fill in a lot of Castillo’s history, although we never get to know “everything”. Castillo has a great deal of mystery surrounding him, part of which is his age: He has to be a *lot* older than he looks, here! I’d love to take up the subject with Edward James Olmos, who is the only person who “really knows” Castillo 😎🙂.
Watching this etc........The acting/music/clothes.........Is as if it was "yesterday" i was first watching MV........"Loved/love" it. x x x x Shame it finished when it did, it could of "gone on" etc longer. x x x x
Jack intentionally missed when he opened upon Castillo. It’s real Samurai stuff. It forced Castillo to shoot to kill. Likely what Jack saw as a more honourable way out.
Castillo added so much to this show! Edward stated that when he first came on to the show he was viewed as "Darth Vader". He seemed do unlikable at first yet, as the episodes progressed he turned out to be such a cool character!
I'm starting to wonder if most of the people here actually watched the show. Comments about poor shooting? Huh? The guy missed because he chose to miss. Cancer, etc...
Gretzky was dying of cancer; it had spread throughout his entire body and he knew he was living on borrowed time. When he unloaded the Mac-11 at Castillo, he wasn’t trying to shoot him at all. He simply wanted Castillo to fire the kill shot, center mass; a mercy killing Gretzky wanted Martin to do for him in order to put him out of his misery. The way two modern day samurai, two brothers-in-arms, would honor each other. In combat. To the end.
I believe this track (at least some remake or variation of it) was also used by WWE in April 2007, the night that John Cena and Shawn Michaels had their near-hourlong match. A terrific highlight reel of their WrestleMania 23 match a few weeks prior aired on the broadcast, but I can't find it anywhere on YT. Source: Peacock (WWE Raw - April 23, 2007) Castillo-centered episodes tend to be the strongest for me when I've done a marathon of this show. This and the Golden Triangle make me think he could have had his own spinoff series, showcasing his time outside America. There's a tense intimacy when he becomes the focus, buoyed by the five-star music that acts like a looming dread and almost foreign seasoning to it.
Not only was there great actors cast in these roles but Jan Hammer's music was just amazing at adding tension... brilliant stuff.
Jan Hammer is awsome
It was definitely a great revival vehicle for Jan's career. His pervasive themes were certainly one of the major ingredients that made Vice stand out from all the other "just another cop" shows.
So true!!!!!
I agree
They setup the story so well too!
The music just makes this show.
Completely agree with you!

"On this man's level, death is a profession." gggggggggggggoooooooooddddddaaaamn, that delivery!
The fashion, the music, the times. We haven’t seen the likes of this since. I am so thankful to have lived the 80’s!
Only Mann’s HEAT even though more 1990’s was as good.

Totally agree. There is a line by Adam Faith: "Straight from the fridge". That was Castillo.
Only reason why I saw this show EDWARD JAMES OLMOS HIS PORTRAYAL of MARTIN CASTILLO
One of those episodes from Miami Vice that sends chills down your spine.
Now we don't even know him is a great line.
Edward James Olmos (Castillo) directs this episode and helped write it. Great episode.
Ok. I didnt know that but it makes sense.
This is my second favorite Miami Vice episode.
My favorite is “Out Where the Buses Don’t Run.”
Yes. These two episodes are the best without a doubt.
Yes Miami Vice forever, nothing comes close!!
Timeless Classic
New York undercover was pretty good as well

If Chuck Norris breaks the law, then Castillio will come and arrest him!
@Leonardo's Truth n
Chuck Norris don't break the law because he shits his pants thinking of Castillio
Castillio - "Chuck Norris? Never heard of her ...... "
Just imagine an 80s/90s cop show with Olmos and Norris as the lead roles. Would be out of this world!
Martin Castillo simply put was a total quiet bad ass.
Castillo the epitome of a man, fair, untouchable, Always willing to defend the innocents.
This show was a classic in every way. One of the greatest of all time.

I think that was the idea.
if castillo had an undercover i.d it would be eddie olmos. a far more dangerous cat.
I modeled my management style after Castillo, I said what I needed to say nothing more nothing less.

True hard man 💪 I would say the best scene in the show. Never will the class of Miami Vice be repeated.

I can't imagine anyone performing the role of Lt Castillo better or even close to Edward Elmos. The cast was unbelievably good in this show.

One of my favourite episodes...
2:32 "I can't let you walk". Coz he's a frakking toaster, that's why.
It was suicide, he never had any intention of hitting Castillo! Love the ending of this episode too
Could be my favorite episode. Subscribed.
4:56 here's the part about "killing Gretzy did him a favor", "cancer everywhere..."
Scene needs to end with the Quantum Leap theme and screenshots from Battlestar Galactica.
I believe this track (at least some remake or variation of it) was also used by WWE in April 2007, the night that John Cena and Shawn Michaels had their near-hourlong match. A terrific highlight reel of their WrestleMania 23 match a few weeks prior aired on the broadcast, but I can't find it anywhere on YT.

Castillo-centered episodes tend to be the strongest for me when I've done a marathon of this show. This and the Golden Triangle make me think he could have had his own spinoff series, showcasing his time outside America. There's a tense intimacy when he becomes the focus, buoyed by the five-star music that acts like a looming dread and almost foreign seasoning to it.
Bellissima puntata
"I can't let you walk...it's my duty it's who I am"
Insane, right after he hugged him. That’s why Gretzky trusted him
