Goofs

The scene when Crockett and Tubbs are racing in the Ferrari to assist Gina is the same exact footage used in "Calderone's Return Part I" when Tubbs raced over to Crockett's house. This is evident by the way its shot and the tail light that is out in some cuts. See more »

6 May 2009 | by (New York) – See all my reviews

What an amazing episode this is with superb cast, probably the most famous guests starring in a 'Miami Vice' are in this episode, even though we saw already Ed O'Neill in second episode and Bruce Willis in seventh, in episode 'Give a Little, Take a Little' there are two very famous actors performing, an already famous at that time Burt Young (most memorable for playing Paulie in 'Rocky' saga) who is playing Lupo Ramirez, a big fish pimp that isn't very unfamiliar with murdering of his "working girls" also, and Michael Madsen starring as Sally Alvarado, a mean "gun for hire".

Crockett and Tubbs are cruising around town and visiting their old friend "Noogie" that gives them a tip of drug smuggling operation going on in a warehouse, while Gine and Trudy work on case against Ramirez. What appears to be a double case episode with two cases that have nothing in common turns out to be something else...

10/10
