Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is the opening scene in the pilot episode?

Answer: New York

The opening shot shows a rather intent looking Tubbs keeping an eye on a building. There is no music to start, only sirens wailing in the background, but it doesn't take long for a song to start. The music was as much a part of the "Miami Vice" culture as the clothes and cars.

2. What numbers are visible on the building that Calderone is exiting?

Answer: 4W16ST

The numbers are visible for a brief moment as Calderone pauses to look around before starting down the steps.

3. Which of the following actors had a character in the pilot episode that was killed, but then returned in later episodes as a completely different character?

Answer: Martin Ferrero

Martin Ferrero played the character of DeSoto in the pilot episode. DeSoto was shot and killed while attempting to kill Tubbs. Ferrero returned in later episodes as the almost lovable Izzy. Belinda Montgomery played the part of Crockett's ex-wife and Edward James Olmos didn't join the cast until later as the never-smiling Lt. Castillo.

4. What was the first name of Crockett's partner before he got paired with Tubbs?

Answer: Eddie

Gina was Trudy's partner and potential girlfriend to Crockett. Larry and Stanley were partners, kind of the comic relief to the squad.

5. What happened to Eddie?

Answer: He got blown up.

Eddie was caught in a car bomb that had been intended solely for a fellow named Corky. Corky was supposed to be Crockett and Eddie's lead in to the "Columbian" only Corky decided to go into business for himself.

6. What song is Tubbs lip-synching when he meets Scott Wheeler for the first time?

Answer: Somebody's Watching Me

Tubbs was singing and dancing to this tune while watching an exotic dancer perform on stage. Before leaving he slips her some money and says "Keep up the good work, Princess"

7. What does Crockett use as a search warrant for Leon's apartment?

Answer: A warranty on a set of steel-belted radials

Crockett is supposedly reading the details of the search warrant to the apartment manager where Leon lived, but when the manager has to go answer the phone, Tubbs takes it out of his hand and announces, "Hey, man, this is a two year warranty on a set of steel- belted radials." To which Crockett replies, "No." in mock surprise.

8. What was Crockett's position and number on the University of Florida football team?

Answer: Wide-receiver number 88

Tubbs realized Crockett was an old football star when Crockett referenced a "fourth down passing situation" in Leon's apartment.

9. What kind of gun did Crockett threaten Tubbs with, when he found out Tubbs was lying about who he was?

Answer: Flare gun

Crockett pulled Tubbs headfirst down the hatch and threatened to light his whole intestinal track up "like Cape Canaveral".

10. The scene on Crockett's boat, where he is accusing Tubbs, at gun point, of not being Raphael has a bit of name-calling in it. What does Tubbs call Crockett?

Answer: A "Southern Cracker"

It's a rather intense scene with Tubbs admitting that Raphael was his brother and Crockett spouting that he's working with an "Outlaw New York street cop out on a hit mission."
