MIAMI VICE filming locations in 2020

- I'm a massive fan of the Eighties hit TV series Miami Vice, so on a recent visit to Miami I sought out a few of the most iconic filming locations from the most iconic series of the Eighties. This is what those places look like today.
With thanks to: www.miamisuper...
I’ve never seen someone so happy to arrive at a courthouse.
Fantastic video.
And that was just the local courthouse!!! Lol. There are 3 federal courthouses very near there. And imagine if he knew Denise Richards was at that courthouse while filming “Wild Things”. Lol.
LOL! I'd be equally happy if I was a claimant on a $$million court case😁😁
Best TV show ever! Defined my college days. Miami was a wild place back in those days when I was there. Almost like the TV show itself at night; sports cars, drug money, etc. Excellent job of capturing the key locations. Thanks for posting this one.
Man, your living the dream!!! The hottest show with the coolest TV duo of ANY TIME...... And what a setting to film it 🎥 miss the 80's so bad....
It was seminal.
"So, what did you do during the Miami Boat Show?"
Most people: I went to the boat show, but couldn't afford anything.
Some people: I was working at the boat show.
Nick: I found every building and location filmed in _Miami Vice._
Proper fanboying going on right there.
that's why we like him : )
his enthusiasm is endearing!
Was cool 😁
_Every_ building and location?
Best TV show of all times, nothing will come close. Thanks for the video. May Miami Vice will go one foever.
Such a nice idea and cant stop myself from truelly appreciating the efforts you took in finding the exact spots and locations comparing the actual scenes.
90ssss. Those were the days..... 🥰🥰🥰
My pleasure 😊
Miami Vice was in the 80's, not the 90's.
You seem like a genuine sincere down-to-earth guy not caught up in superficial images, another reason I enjoy your videos so much, keep them coming, stay healthy!
Thank you, you're very kind :)
I have also wanted to see someone do this and glad you did, huge fan of the show and still watch it to this day. Better than 90% of what they call television today. Long live the 80s.
Absolutely! :)
My Father was a life guard at 14th street I grew up on the beach .He even has an award named after him .He's a legend . I use to watch him save lives. He was the best of the best. Back then the elderly retired there. They use to sit in front of the Carlyle. I use to sneak into the Sherri Netherlands hotel pool. Now knowm as Versaces Villa.
My boyfriend use to lifeguard at haulover beach in 1998. Us two men were a great couple.
I also was born and raised on Miami Beach. Born in 1953 and graduated Beach High 1971.
I just moved back to Miami from 30 years in Los Angeles. I love seeing the Vice locations in my daily travels. Recently stayed at The Carlyle
Cool!
Best TV ever. Bring it back, and I'll start watching TV again.
Absolutely!
Miami vice home coming
I always loved Miami Vice and your videos and now both in one single video... Just amazing!
Fantastic. Very well put together. Loved Miami Vice in the day and brought back a lot of memory's. Thanks for doing this video.
Coming soon, Nick changes the channel name to Miami Vice Superfan.
This is a perfect example of why you're so good at what you do - the way you can share your unconditional enthusiasm for something without being nerdy or cringey. Don't ever change.
You picked some of my favorite places seen on Miami Vice !!!! It's too bad some have been destroyed, like the OSB building and the fishing village in the Keys from "Glades." Wonderful cinematography. Well done !!! Many thanks for sharing !!!
Miami looks the same its so pretty, Vice city.
Took me back. Me and best mate Mark wearing white linen trousers and yellow or pink jackets with the sleeves rolled up. Oh and wearing espadrilles. We looked a right pair of prats going into Tamworth town centre for a drink. But great memories. Loved the vid Nick. You have a great style and you come over well. Cheers.
This clip made my day. I watched and have nearly every episode. Loved it and huge thanks. Great content as normal. your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I reckon you have to be a fan. Could hear your excitement.
Lol
This is like the COOLEST Video for us GenXers who love the 80's TV Show Miami Vice !!!
My husband and i went to south beach a year ago. we were only in town a night, but we were able to hit up some miami vice hot spots as well. such a beautiful area! my favorite memory was sitting in Macs club deuce playing tunes....cant wait to go back again! you did it right renting a sweet ferrari ...that NEEDS to happen!!
Ahh, got to love the deuce. Happy hour starts at 8am and goes til 7pm. It was the last bar I got a drink from before the shutdown. Open 8am til 5am.
I am currently stationed in Miami Beach and I live on 9th street. So when my parents fist came to see me my father who grew up watching Miami Vice had to go see many of the sights just like you did.
My favorite part about this is how excited you are to see it all
Oh man, I was there in 2016 and I'm also a huge fan of this show. Miami nowadays is nothing like in the 80's I bet, but one of the best memories I have was sitting in a car in South Beach parking lot in the middle of the night and "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins started playing in the radio. Damn.
Awesome! 😎
Es ist mein absolutes Ziel und mein Traum, irgendwann einmal nach Miami zu kommen und möglichst viele der Originalschauplätze zu besuchen. Miami ist einfach geil und Miami Vice war das Beste, was das Fernsehen je zu bieten hatte. Coming soon...
Great fun Nick. You looked absolutely thrilled to be there, as I would’ve been.
I remember my tortoiseshell wayfarers, rolled up sleeves and designer stubble. Great days, great music and even better nights.
Thanks for posting this mate.
Great video Nick!! Brought back memories from H.S. and college watching Miami Vice! Crockett and Tubbs were the stuff back in the day, I really miss television shows like that. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face during this tough time.
Well this a Miami nice way to relieve the current boredom, cheers Nick
That testarossa looks nice in white from the miami vice clips beautiful weather roof down nick crusing in that sweet ferrari nice watch nick
Beautiful city. Thank you for the tour. Can't wait to see the yachts. You look like your having the time of your life. Nice touch Nick. Love from Canada.
Cool video. I know you enjoyed your stay there to the max. Filmed alot of yachts, drove around Miami in a Farrari, stayed in a clsssy hotel and had 1st class seating on the plane. What dreams are made of. And you lived it. Lucky fellow.
Stay safe Nick.
I understand and appreciate your enthusiasm for Miami Vice.
Having said that... purely by sheer luck, in December 1990, I was offered a job in Miami. I moved to Miami in January 1991 and lived there for 23 years. I know Miami and South Beach very well. I even know the guy who rented you the white Ferrari. Lol. He is the brother in law of a friend of mine. My last 8 years in Miami, I lived in downtown... one block from what you called the Miami Building... which is fair. That building changed names MANY times. And the elevators in that building are big enough to hold a volleyball game. Lol.
Anyhow... you should have done more homework regarding Miami Vice. Next to the Dade County Courthouse, was a building just west of there on Miami Vice. That building is no longer there.
You also missed Biscayne Boulevard... they did so much driving AT NIGHT on Biscayne Boulevard.
And that last scene of Miami Vice you pointed out... you did not say it was at Bayfront Park.
Many of those buildings along Biscayne Boulevard were NOT there when Miami Vice was filmed. The condos at the northwest corner of Biscayne Boulevard and Flagler Street for example. There used to be an ugly little scattered array of BRIGHT PINK single story shops there. Those shops were never popular. I worked for years in the 30 story building just north of there. My commute was walking 2 blocks to work. Then the company I worked for, did illegal stuff, lost 93% of clients and went out of business.
Another key factor to Miami Vice, was the music. To really do the Miami Vice experience, drive along Biscayne Boulevard AT NIGHT in a convertible while listening to “In the Air Tonight” or “Eminence Front”
A good friend of mine in Miami was a Location Scout/Manager for Hollywood. By helping him, I got to know a LOT about Miami. I was even an accidental extra in the first episode of “Dexter” ( I was near the “body” at the fountain in Bayfront Park ) and an Antonio Banderas movie... I forget the title. I met so many celebrities... some of whom I did realize they were celebrities. Lol. One female celebrity always liked to hangout and just watch movies with me when she was in town. That was very unexpected. One celebrity only called me when they got drunk at a nearby bar. Lol. I had to play bodyguard and get them home safely. That was never fun.
At one of those buildings on Christmas Eve, a friend of mine called me to help him troubleshoot and restore and network that was down. We had no idea what the problem was and it was a high security area... so we went in LOADED with equipment. My friend is 6’10” tall. We went into the lobby of the building. You could just tell the security guards were thinking “Die Hard”. Lol. After a few tense phone calls, we were granted full access, found the problem and fixed. Very memorable night. Lol.
I feel blessed to have lived in Miami for as long as I did and get to meet so many amazing people... both locals and celebrities. I spent most of every weekend at Bayside watching bands perform. I spent at least 16 HOURS every weekend enjoying four bands.
I am glad you got to enjoy Miami a little bit. On your next trip to Miami, try to schedule it when there is an event at the Olympia Theater... go to the Olympia Theater. That place is a rare gem in today’s world. That theater was built in the 1920’s by Paramount Studios. ( Yes, the same movie studio who gave us Star Trek and Mission: Impossible ) One last detail... Elvis performed on that stage in 1956. It is basically two blocks west of Bayfront Park on Flagler Street.
Interesting comment. I had the chance to live there - twice actually. Companies there (and Florida in general) don't seem to want to pay decent wages though. Maybe people are willing to barely scrape by for the chance to live in Miami. Not me.
Brilliant loved it! Miami Vice fan too so that was superb glad you enjoyed making the video 😎
I chuckled when I saw this. I'm currently working my way through the Miami Vice box set. I'm up to 'Free Verse'.
Awesome!
Brings back a lot of memories. I’m a big fan of both Miami Vice and South Beach. It’s changed a lot but it influenced my life
Haha, I love the excitement on your face. Thank you very much for sharing these locations! Priceless and Miami Vice forever!!
My pleasure!
I wasn't allowed to watch the show because it came on late. But the bits and pieces I have seen are probably what lay the subconscious foundation for my move to Florida from Maryland in 2004. Seeing this has reignited my very South Florida vibe to live there. Still missing a good comma in the ole bank account to do that though.
I am glad that you had fun with this. The Ferrari was a very nice touch.
Crazy to see the resolution on a tv program from the 80s to today’s HD gopros 👍 thanks for sharing
Today 4k. Version
😊 👍 Thank you for a great video. Miami Vice is still my favourite TV 📺 show. The smile on your face is exactly what I would look like going to the Miami Vice locations. Whoever saved the Art Deco hotels instead building ugly modern ones should be sainted!!! ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Fun time for you and a fun time for us to watch.
They don't make anything like those 70's and 80's police shows any more.
You were like the cat that got the cream, when you were driving along in that Ferrari .
Nice one Nick (I'm not jealous, Honest!!).
That's the truth. When you put the foot down you looked at the camera and it's was a brilliant cheesy moment. Hilarious!
Well done!
Can't get the ear to ear grin off my face - SPEECHLESS -
T H A N K Y O U N I C K (plus Miami, Ferrari, Crockett and Tubbs)
Job well done. Miami Vice was an amazing series, and Miami is an amazing place. I'm glad you got to recapture some of that
Thanks Nick, that was fantastic! I'm a fan of MV too, that show defined my youth in the 80s.
Such iconic memories. Adding the clips just made everything more real. Kind of like living a dream. Thank you
Living the dream. Great to see new content.
Wish I was there.
Did a massive tour of the US IN 1998 But didn't go to Miami.
Gonna have to do it one day.
Great Vid.
this show is the reason i moved to miami.I remember my very first time in downtown miami i went to burdines the florida store department store downtown on a weekday.By 5pm the downtown area was emptying out fast...by 6pm almost totally desserted.The exact opposite of nyc.Miami is truly the most beautiful place on earth.With all the exposure from miami vice the traffic in south beach has increased ten fold i feel bad for the people who live there that they lost there once little quiet peaceful place.However once you go north towards collins and 19th strret and up to 50th street and northwards the traffic does decrease.I specifically wanted to move to a place in dade county that doesnt have the exposure from miami vice so it can retain its tranquility and no crowds like those animals recently causing trouble during spring break on south beach...so i want mention the name.On a personal note how fast life has gone by miami vice seems like just yesterday.miami is truly beautiful.
Nostalgia hitting me hard right now.
Awesome video. Thank you.
I used to watch the show every week!! Friday nights if I remember right, on NBC? I was Twenty when this GREAT show came out. EXCELLENT JOB!!! 40 Years Ago Already. Man does time Fly!!
It is fabulous isn't it!?
@@michaellshafer8744 everything you said is so true. I was 19 when the show first aired and damn how fast time moves.
Hi Nick, fantastic video, I’ve spent a lot of time in Miami, love the place. St. Vitus’ dance (Crocketts yacht) is located down in Key West. Keep up the great work 👍
You remember episode titles!?!? You must be a true MV fan! 🙂
Complete MV geek! :D
@@AQUAHOLIC : Nick, I really enjoyed this. I grew up watching Miami Vice back in the '80s when it was one of the most popular shows on at the time here in the U.S. My friends & I never missed an episode. Though the times I've been to Miami & South Beach I never thought to look up any of the filming locations. Thanks for showing them.
love your videos! your always so excited! your personality is what makes it my man! keep rockin it!
Great stuff ~ love the Art Deco ! Lovely in the new video quality;it’s available. Amazing to see the difference in a $500 go pro and the expensive flower of 1980’s commercial video.
What a great time you must of had. :)
How am I only seeing this video now?
This is EPIC :)
Excellent video. Fantastic. I grew up on Miami Vice. Am re-watching the entire series now; I decided to look up Miami Vice locations on youtube, and found this video. I can see that this was a lot of work tracking down these locations. I really appreciate this. Thank you so much. Excellent video. Great job. Thank you sir.
I'm near the end of Season 2 of my Miami Vice binge watch session. Very cool to see the location in 2020!
This was so cheesy, and delicious, and wholesome!!! I love your passion Nick and it brings us joy to see this other world from your perspective. It’s infectious. (And you look pretty dapper in that Ferrari!) Thanks for the fun video!
No boats, but the same enjoyment factor! FYI the Carlyle was in Scarface too.
Scarface and Miami Vice, does it get better than that? That's why GTA Vice City is my fav of the series even tho it's lo-res and older, still holds that charm that can't be replicated
Yep! And l think "The Specialist" too.
I think a fictional version of The Carlyle was also in NFS Heat
The scene in Scarface where Tony Montana almost gets decapitated with a chain saw was not filmed at the Carlyle. That location is currently a CVS, 728 Ocean Drive.
OMG 😱 THIS IS GOLD!!! NICK! THANK YOU FOR BRIGHTENING UP MY DAY/MONTH 🤙🏻
I turn 50 net summer and I´m still a huge fan of Miami Vice! I have the complete DVD collection and I´m as exited as you are, still after all these years!
Great Work!!! Thank you. That was fun. Little Miss Dangerous and Phil the Shill were series classics.
Absolutely!
Thank you for making this video! I grew up watching this show every Friday night. Now at 48, I just started watching it again from the beginning on roku. I liked the part in the video where you and the guy on the motorcycle looked at each other then you took off and left him!🤣👍👍. Awesome video, thanks again!
We could not have done that any better if it had been deliberate and staged! 😄
This was a really amazing video! Brought back so many memories.
Hey Nick, awesome video, keep on the good work giving an inspiring vision of the dream life!
I’m glad to see that you had a chance to enjoy our wonderful country. Keep up the great work love the videos. We have been to the Miami boat show for the past 3 year.
The 80's are gone. Sad, sad.. it was magic... Best music, best movies, best tv series. 2021, we have lost all the freedom. Same shit in Europe. Regards from Norway...
Agreed. Hey there Norway 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC ❤️❤️❤️❤️😉
That was awesome! I have always been a huge fan of Miami Vice, and I can see you obviously are too :)
It's a shame though that the HQ building of the Vice squad no longer exists.
Thanks for sharing!
Agreed, would love to have seen that!
Well done chap, brought some great memories back
Nice one, really well done........you missed a few spots; The News Cafe, Joe's Stone Crabs, the South Beach Marina and Gianni Versace's house that were featured as backdrop locations. Thank you for the visit down memory lane. Really great and thanks.
Miami and South Beach will always be one of the coolest places on the planet.
Maybe next time 🙂
Miss those days! Your video brings it all back.
For anyone wondering... the song in the first part is "Look Where That Got You by Mattie Maguire"
I am a huge Miami Vice fan! Thanks for taking the time to film that and post the video. I saw another one recently, but it was just still pics, and it was from 2008. It is fun to see something more recent, and also in video. You did a great job. Props on the Ferrari at the end too :)
Great video ! Love the series from the eighties. you covered it well. Thankyou for sharing great memories! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks you Nick. I really enjoy watching your AMAZING VIDEO. MIAMI VICE brings lots of fond memories. Thanks you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Looks like you were living the dream 🚤☀️🏢🛣🏖stay safe 🤞🏼
You never cease to amaze us. What a hoot!
Aquaholic socks one week, a Ferrari the next. Love your style Nick - excellent!
This video was awesome, I grew up watching Miami vice in the 80s. You lived an experience for me that I could not afford to do and I appreciated watching you do it. It’s like a childhood dream come true.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Memories. I spent 3 months in Miami from Nov'03-Jan'04 and returned for month in March '11. There's a lot of changes there. Scarface was also filmed there in early 80's, which is a masterpiece of film making.
Florida does not really support the film-TV-media industry properly. The way Atlanta, Pittsburgh, VA, NC does. Florida & Miami, south FL would have 5X as much production if they had better oversight, lobby, business incentives.
Hey Nick... After lenghty thought and consideration, I'll accept that offer to be your cameraman!
You're very kind! :)
And I thought I was a fan of MV. Wow. This was great. Well done.
I love this.. you should branch into giving us tours of different places!
There are a few on the channel, Cannes, Monaco etc
Thanks, Nick, i enjoyed that! Didn’t miss many episodes back then myself. In fact I still probably have a box full of them on vhs. Such great entertainment for a boat fan. As are your videos.
Great video, not been a Vice fan but you made the whole thing watchable, thanks as always, stay safe.
You should start, it's awesome!
Merci pour ce clip J'ai adoré regarder Miami Vice pendant mon adolescence.Je rêverai de visiter Miami.Merci de l'avoir fait!!👍
Thank you for making a video of the original miami vice locations. I have enjoyed the series for years. I share your enthusiasm for the various places you filmed. Take care 😊
My pleasure 🙂
Breezy, fun, well done video. Thanks from this Vice fan (1984 to present).
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Way cool Nick! Really well done, youre talents exceed beyond being the best boat reviewer on you tube. Cheers from northern Ontario Canada. Miami Vice was one of my faves growing up, i still think the rolled up sleeves on a blazer looks cool like crockett did back then. Your music and editing are top notch. All the best and be well
Hi Nick. A perfect Sunday viewing. You look soooo happy.
Lifetime ambition fulfilled! :)
Great video obsessed fan over here too 🙋🏻♂️best 80s show ever!!
It absolutely was!
TY, awesome video! Much appreciated by another huge Miami Vice fan.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where was the building with the square in the middle of it with a jacuzzi bath?
GREAT VIDEO. I AM A HUGE MIAMI VICE FAN. WAS GOOD TO SEE LOCATIONS FROM THE SERIES.
Excellent video! Nice music to match. Was there last year. I need to go back. Love the place. Thanks for the Vice tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The assassin, aka "The Argentinian," who shot at Sonny from Freedom Tower was played by Jim Zubiena, a firearms expert and legitimate master of the pistol. He was one of the best competitive shooters at the time and had worked with Michael Mann on "Manhunter" and other productions.
Thanks for showing the filming locations of Miami Vice! It was my favorite television show of the 1980s when I was a teenager back then living in Hialeah.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Loved that! I suspect ,like myself, miami vice started your interest in boats and cars too! It's got a lot to answer for ...!! Absolute classic.
It wasn't without influence..! :D
Ha ha loved the editing with the white Ferrari 😂. Great video, brilliant 👍
Phenomenal.
Believe in your dreams and go on your way undeterred.
Love it 👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞😎😎😎
That's put a huge smile on my face. Loved Miami Vice and the theme tune is an absolute classic. Thanks for the tour - maybe you should make this a regular thing whenever you visit a boat show - Cannes, Monoco etc - although I appreciate the cost of a regular Ferrari rental may be a bit prohibitive :-)
