Ocean with Miami Vice logo illuminated in ice blue (replacing logo in pink).The opening sequence for the first two episodes of season 3, as well as " El Viejo" and, strangely, " Streetwise", is summarized below, with changes indicated in bold. This alteration seems somewhat curious given how minor it is, although it's possible some issue arose with Flagship Bank that forced the studio to remove the footage of their building. The season 2 sequence is almost identical to the previous sequence from the first season, with just one difference towards the end (actually reintroducing footage that was previously removed from the opening credits partway through season 1).

The opening sequence used from " Calderone's Return (Part II)" until the end of season 1 is summarized below. Olivia Brown's credit now appears on screen.Īs with the pilot episode, the "Miami Vice Theme" is incorrectly mixed in these opening episodes and is missing its distinctive synthesised guitar hook. The sequence is essentially the same as in "Brother's Keeper", the most obvious difference being that it is shorter and now ends with a fade (which would have led into the first commercial break) instead of continuing seamlessly into the episode as in the pilot.
