Miami Vice - Crockett and Tubbs in Their 19 Action

[powerabout]

How about the when he went rogue and had the v8 on the mono getaway boat

Aren't you referring to the black and gray talon with the twin merc outboards?

A little update on both the Action and Talon 25 since I was there for both scenes! The Bayliner was bone stock except for wedges I put on the trim bracket to get a rooster tale and spfx put the cage in. Chick Bernhardt did the jump onto Collins Ave and actually hit the cop car I was driving. The 19 Action belonged to Artie Malesci and I unrigged the 2.4 Merc and put the Yamaha promo motor on it for the jump. It did NOT have an electric fuel pump. It did have a kill switch. The Talon 25 Special Edition had 2.4 Offshores and was driven by Don's double. It was provided by Gary Armington the designer and owner of Talon Marine.

The I/O sounds dubbed into the scenes ruined them for me...

Yeah..I know. The Daytona was really a corvette kit car...BUT, The Testarossa's were the real deal. They came black and we painted them white!!

I remember listening to Don on a radio show when they got the testarossa and he was saying he was having driving lessons as it went real fast

The kit had better lines than the real deal. There’s one episode where Crockett parks his black “Daytona” next to a real yellow one. It’s kinda funny that the knockoff looks better!

I remember one year at Key West they had a promotional with Don Johnson in a boat and Chuck Noris in the POPEYES boat I think...in the end Chuck beat Don and he wouldn't come out of his trailer,he was pissed off

I drove one of the picture Scarabs down there for the promo! Chuck Norris is an awesome guy!!

If you had the chance to talk to Don back then, you would learn immediately, the guy had "issues". In conversations, more than once, he would say..."Do you know who I am???"...

I was on the show for 88 episodes! That was DJ.!!

at one promo at the Miami boat show Don came in for a photo shoot with his ontriage and turned around and left cause there was not enough people there....some EGO at tht QUAY where his girlfriend MELONY GRIFFIN lived he would chase the little kids away that wanted autographs....he was a COOL GUY but not to fan friendly, he wouldn't let anyone be in his elevator....a little over the top....an yes CHUCK NORRIS was very friendly and approachable....still love the show...brings back good memories

[wetsetmarine]

This was the "real deal" Cool guy...on and off camera!!!!!!!!! Both of them!!!
