In The Air Tonight...Which Film?

[tvradict]

I downloaded Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight for a Compilation CD I'm doing, played it and recognised it from a film. Can't for the life of me remember what film, although the scene its in could be dark, cars involved somewhere I think.

Any ideas?

Risky Business, when Tom Cruise and Rebecca DeMorney (sp?) were shagging on the train

You saw Miami Vice you did, the one where he had a tiff with the missus, jumped in the Daytona Spyder and drove through town at night, well good, nearly as good as Dark Night by the Blasters with a similar setting

No. I really didn't.

Not old enough to have seen Miami Vice!

I'm old enough to think Miami Vice is too modern and trendy for my taste.

Miami Vice is absoloutely bloody brilliant, i love watching the re-runs on M&M. 80s revival is in full swing incase any of you have missed it!

Cheers,
Rob.

There was another one with a Dire Straights track... brothers in arms I think. I'm spotting a theme here

Miami Vice = Well cool though, did you see the episode where Phil Collins was one of the main characters?

miami vice was considered cool in the eighties - I used to roll the sleeves up of my silver (yes, silver) jacket when I went out, armed with loafer and white socks ( the shame) and reeking of Kouros (the true 80's fragrance)

"We'd like to have a word with you about those clothes... and what's that smell?"

I thought the daytona was a replica - driven by Tubbs - crocket had the testarossa.

It was a replica but Ferrari lent them the white one

Both owned one after the other by Crocket. Tubbs had a blue convertable, I think it was a Caddy

[dick dastardly]

Cotty is right - both Ferrari's were owned by Crockett. The Daytona was a replica and you can tell from the interior on some of the shows. The testarossa was a real Ferrari given to them by Ferrari following the success of the show but they also had a replica which they used for chases/stunts.

[hugoagogo]

already discussing this elsewhere...

Crocket didn't 'own' either, they were vice seizures, 'loaned' to him for undercover stuff

the daytona was a replica, corvette based, in the show it got blown up with a stinger missile or somesuch

ferrari north america gave them two black testarossas, they painted them white to show up better at night (!) and they had a replica 'stunt car' for most of the spirited driving based on a pantera

i think Tubbs had a '60 caddy convertible

/cue the boss in husky voice: "hugoagogo, you're in too deep on this one, you're off the case"

A Pantera is a pretty cool car in its own right
