Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

If this has already been discussed I apologize, But am I missing something? I got the DVD for Christmas and just got around to putting it in...and there are no bonus features with the deleted boat scenes. I watched the Nonpoint video for "In the Air Tonight" and there is obviously a bunch of extra footage of boat scenes...where are they? Why would they not put them on the DVD? I got ripped off :mad:

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

You didn't get the directors cut. That one has the boat scene at the beginning.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I got the directors cut and was just as disapointed. Possibly 60 seconds of footage. It was good footage but nothing like I expected or hoped.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

Don't expect a bunch of boat scenes on the directors cut. It's about 1 minute or so. That & the boat ride to Cuba is the high light. :mad:

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

That movie did not deserve to be called Miami Vice.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

Miami Vice wasn't about boating!!! It was cops and drug dealers.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

Yeah but if they spent all that extra money on shooting a boat scene, why not put it in the special features?

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

get the Directors cut I look at the first five minutes every day or two

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I was disappointed too. I remember reading the posts from the guys on here in about all the boating footage and thought I would see more on the extra footage.

You forgot to put "signed bored out of my mind in VT" :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

BINGO!!

The movie is what it is........ a modern day spin on a popular TV series/ with some cool boat scenes.

I thought the movie was a nice remake of the "Smugglers Blues" episode. Totally predictable from the very beginning..... Tub's girl getting kidnapped and tied-up in a booby-trapped contraption..... Crocket getting emotionally involved and compromising the sting, etc,etc....

We watched it on friday night. What a dissapointment!!!!

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I too, was disappointed when I went to the movietheatre and came out asking which film did Powerboat preview.

However, I watched it again, because a buddy of mine, also a powerboat nut who knows the episodes of the original Miami Vice from start to finish, said he was really impressed.
If you forget the boat scene issue for a moment, and just enjoy the highly stylised scenes, the music video style of combining sound and imagery, it does pretty much represent a modern version of what the original Miami Vice series was.
There were alot of people who didn´t like the original either.

It could have carried a couple more boat based scenes, in order to set it off from Bad Boys, or Tequila Sunrise, and others like them, but it doesn´t deserve the hard critic its getting.
It does ,however raise the question, did the film company just use the trick of cutting off the starting boat scene in order to sell a bunch of directors cut DVD´s to the people who have already bought the cinema version. A cheap trick.............

You guys are being to nice. That movie sucked!!!!:mad:

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I'm watching Miami Vice right now on Sleuth... "The Big Thaw", (BTW- 'Izzy' was an awesome charactor)

Good point Wild Card, Miami Vice was about the music and the imagery :cool:

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

way to slow and over dramatic... like somehow a chick edited it!! when I go see an action movie, things are supposed to blow up..lots of things, cars fly..boats fly..people die..mass carnage and mayhem non stop for 2 hours!! and not a bunch of cheesey computer special effects and models..we want the real thing!! and they wonder why movie attendence is down action movies are action movies..chick flicks are chick flicks...the 2 are different species and should not breed!! if they do you get birth defects!! (bad movies nobody likes)

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I thought it was good.
Screw the boats, where's Elvis?

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

If they merely cut the gross closeups of ugly skin pores, and substituted the boat racing scenes they had in the bag, it would have improved the movie by about 200%.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

Had they put a bunch of boat footage in the movie it still would have been a silly movie that really blows.

Re: Miami Vice Bonus features?? WTF?
 

I heard that the production of the boat scenes cost $8 mil...

obviously if thats half right, what a waste!
