Opening Montages

         Season 3

HOME

The season 3 opening montages has some variations, keeping it interesting but not nearly as much as the first two seasons.  They also came much earlier in the episodes as the teasers were on an average 46 seconds shorter than in the first two seasons.  The average length of a season 3 teaser is four minutes 13 seconds.

All of the season 3 Miami Vice logos are backlit with an intense, vibrant white as opposed to the earlier pinks and oranges.

The Miami goes through various shades and intensities of green while the Vice varies between shades of purple and shades of blue

Season three had only two versions of the opening montage.  They were the same with the exception of one segment.  It was either a clip of Bal Harbour from the cut down or a shot of the Testarossa on Collins Avenue headed north past the Fontainebleau from episode 47, Killshot.  All the other segments were the same and in the same order.  There was some switching of the montages due to the order in which they decided to run the episodes.
