Universal's DANGEROUS Criminal Stunt Show | The Miami Vice Action Spectacular

Universal parks have had a pretty significant number of stunt shows throughout their history, many of which have become iconic and classic attractions. However, the short lived and often forgotten Miami Vice Stunt Spectacular at Universal Hollywood laid the ground work for the others. It's a significant milestone for Universal parks and a pretty great show, so let's take a quick look at its history and see what it had to offer.

Fun Fact: The cost to produce one episode of Miami Vice was greater than that of the entire annual budget of the Miami Police Department's Vice Unit.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

Television is expensive I suppose.

[@diegeticfridge9167]

Kinda sad, but makes sense……

[@kbaccari88]

The Miami Police department needed a better theme song

[@VultureSkins]

That checks out

[@cyndiebirkner704]

I love the "when it all works right, which is almost all the time"...

[@nerdybenson6596]

I think the reason they've backed off the stunt shows is that they're much more expensive than a ride in general, mixed with people being quite apathetic to them after a while. You don't have a to a pay a unpopular ride an actors fee, worry about health insurance if a part of the ride breaks down, or accidentally killing someone doing a stunt. Honestly I think they've kept Animal Actors around in Florida as long as they have because it also functions as an animal acting training center for actual Hollywood productions. That and the Horror Make Up show not being that expensive in comparison to something like Poseidon's Fury. I really do surprisingly love the Bourne Stuntacular despite never caring about the films. However my favorite part is when something doesn't work, the technical director comes out and explains how certain props work and about the screen while they try to fix the problem. It's legitimately engaging and interesting to listen to, I wish they wove that into the show somehow.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I've seen Bourne quite a few times and haven't had that happen yet. At this point, I'm actually hoping for it to happen lol

[@fredleggett923]

@@PoseidonEntertainment It happened last year when I did Scream Early for HHN and took in the Bourne show. They actually had two delays during the show due to technical issues, but didn't say anything beyond, "Hey, kids, it's a highly sophisticated show and sometimes things go sideways." Still kinda interesting. I've seen a Waterworld stunt show video here on KZbin where one of the actors got hurt mid-show and everything stopped on a dime (the show obviously didn't continue). A little scary. The problem with Bourne is that, while the show itself is a technical marvel, it doesn't have anywhere near the level of audience love that Terminator had and never will. If it closed tomorrow, no one would shed a tear. Poseidon's Fury was more adored, as evidenced by its last days of operation.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

@@fredleggett923 I think that the reason that Bourne isn't getting a lot of buzz is because it opened during the height of COVID. Still, the theater is always packed when I go and I can see its fanbase growing over time.

[@cowmissing]

The narration of the play-by-play was undeniably impressive. The show's promotional tagline boasted "50 stunts in 15 minutes," which caught the attention of many. Notably, WaterWorld: A Live Sea War Spectacular continues to incorporate various stunts originally conceived for the Miami Vice Action Spectacular, including the Falling Tower and the Water Tower. One of the most unforgettable elements of the show was its walk-in music. Extensive research revealed that the music was an instrumental version of Jackson Browne's song "Lives in the Balance." The full version of this song had been used in at least one episode of the original Miami Vice TV series, and it was officially released on the "Miami Vice II" album in 1986. The show's production was carried out by Universal Television, alongside Michale Mann Productions (yes, that Michale Mann). Interestingly, while the Miami Vice show used the original full version of the track, Universal (theme park) added some orchestral elements to create the instrumental version used in the park's show. Our research also brought to light a potential legal dispute arising from Universal Studios (Tour) Hollywood's use of this track, though specific details regarding the legal dispute remained vague. Furthermore, we possess this instrumental version in our archives and are contemplating producing a video so that others can appreciate it. Its inclusion proved to be a significant game-changer, as it was seamlessly looped in a manner reminiscent of the existing WaterWorld walk-in music today using "Deacon's Speech."

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

Excellent information. I wouldn't have known about the music, but that's an interesting story behind it.

[@cowmissing]

@@PoseidonEntertainment We might work on the walk-in music. It was so iconic for the time, as the music really set up the show. The full version with lyrics doesn’t give it justice. But you can get the rhythm behind it.

[@benderrodriguez2996]

Yes, please release the walk-in music loop. Always loved that loop along with the tropical setting of the show. Do you have or know if there's a version of The Adventures of Conan: A Sword and Sorcery Spectacular show with cast audio tracks? There's a version of the soundtrack with only some of the villain Mordor's audio track. I'm hoping for the full show's narration, music and with all of the cast audio tracks.

[@erinfee5104]

I didn't really appreciate it until now, but it's impressive how modern stunt shows like Bourne and Waterworld have grown beyond needing an obvious "reset time" between set pieces. Or at least they've gotten better at disguising it (I assume that the control room scenes serve this function in Bourne, it's been a while since I've seen Waterworld though). I remember the long breaks being particularly painful in Lights Motors Action.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I do think that Bourne hides it particularly well, but I'm not sure if I agree with Water World. I feel like there's a lot of meandering sections just to buy time. I like it, but I think it could use some tweaks.

[@thejunkman]

I totally remember it. Have pictures and video of it.

[@Chainsawhappy]

Nice work! I saw the original A-team show in that dirt lot and the MIAMI VICE ACTION SPECTACULAR when it opened. The greatest stunt show USH ever had was the CONAN SWORD AND SORCERY SPECTACULAR.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I haven't researched it, but I will now

[@zeroraptor_]

Conan was great. That dragon puppet blew my kid-age mind back then. There hasn't really been much that surpassed that.

[@JohnIsett]

Thanks for the memories! I wasn't sure I was remembering a real or imagined visit to Universal Studios, but when the helicopter appeared I knew it was a real memory! That was extremely impressive in-person---and obviously unforgettable to anyone who attended. Very well done--both the real show and your coverage! Thanks, again.

[@MsDboyy]

I grew up in the 1990s in NYC so I would go to Six Flags a lot but I had also been to Universal studios there was a stunt show at six flags that was actually a lethal weapon stunt show 😅 but I think I often mixed up and confused the two different shows lol

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

That helicopter seems stupidly impressive. I think I may like it better than the Water World plane.

[@rollandtrann2olddeleted994]

6:18 the show actually premeired in June of 1987, during cast previews, one of the blades broke off the helicopter, prompting a change from 6 blades to 4 blades instead

[@hazonku]

This show was a MUST SEE back in the day at Universal Hollywood. The Water World show was a great evolution of the space but I definitely preferred the Miami Vice show as it felt less like just a show and more like a real celebration of stuntmen and the work that goes into incredible stunts.

[@ivanalpha80]

Thanks for covering this! This show was MY show during the 80’s. I remember wanting to grow up to be a stuntman cause of this show!

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

[@DarMar106]

I call dibs on the mine car!

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I think it may be the most impressive stunt in the show. Definitely unique.

[@Anynom]

My family saw this in 1990 trip, even got video of it on the old-styled bigger cameras, was a fun show. I loved the banter like one guy "forced" to do a big high dive with "next time, read the fine print on your contract!"

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I think the humor is a bit dated, but it's a lot better than Water World or Sinbad. I think a lot of it would still hold up today.

[@broadwaystar2b]

@@PoseidonEntertainmenthow could you hate on such gems from Sinbad like “Shhhh Kabab”? 🤣🤗

[@ottot3221]

The main problem with the Orlando version was that you couldn't see the whole show and only parts as it played over the whole lake. But it was the best they had for many years.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I agree, I think that it could have been a lot better with a reworking. I would like to see something like it come back.

[@robertforster8984]

Universal should have brought the Miami Vive show over to Florida. Miami Vice was all about Florida after all.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

At least there was Dynamite Nights. I wish they would bring something like that back to the lagoon.

[@fredleggett923]

@@PoseidonEntertainment Dynamite Nights sounds like a bad Baywatch spin-off.

[@sameoldcircus]

I remember this show being amazing especially that helicopter... It blew my mind

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I think I find it more impressive than the Water World plane.

[@broadwaystar2b]

I love the stunt shows, they tie in the whole “studios” theme of what goes into making big action scenes. Very classy of them to have acknowledged the actors by name at the end of the show too. A stunt performer’s job is typically to disappear seamlessly so it looks like the A-lister is still the character in a dangerous situation. These productions take away a stunt performer’s anonymity for a few minutes and let an audience celebrate them for the hard work they do.

[@bjvincent8786]

It is so odd how time has changed the fact that Universal park went from almost no rides and lots of live shows to almost no shows and so many rides.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

That's a good point. I don't even really think the park has had strong offerings until recently either. I'm glad to see it moving in an interesting direction though as long as they don't get rid of the studio tour.

[@jjmailman]

Nice video!! Great research!! Thank you!

[@brianfuller757]

Thanks for the memories here. These were great shows. This channel is awesome. My wife asked me why stunt shows have mostly disappeared. I believe it was cost as they were insanely expensive. I saw this show twice.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I also think that the reason that a lot of them disappeared, at least in Florida, was the decline of the movie industry there in the early aughts. A lot less people to hire I suppose

[@ellieechoes]

Seeing water world over 20 times. It looks like water world is just a reskin of the Miami Vice stunt show. I will miss the stunt show at universal.... I still miss the special effects show.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I agree, and I have to imagine that they kept it that way for a quick turn-around. I do wonder if Miami Vice would still be around is Universal wasn't so eager to promote Water World though. I wonder if it would have aged well.

[@juanitajones6900]

I have very fond memories of the Miami Vice stunt show. I believe I had enjoyed it a bit more than the Waterworld show, because I didn't have to hear the bad dialogue.

[@omarnoble4788]

The show looks rad. Haven't had a chance to see Bourne yet, but it'd be nice to have something like this again. There's a reason Indiana Jones has lasted so long.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

Bourne is excellent, although my suggestion would be to sit in the middle or the back if you can. The illusion works a lot better when you're not up front which is reserved for people with Express.

[@edgargrajo5917]

Thanks for the memories, I used to go to Universal a lot when I was a kid. I forgot about this show and the A-Team show

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I was thinking about it, but it's difficult to come by photos and video.

[@dannielz6]

Although I do miss the amazing stunt shows, I think Universal is right to focus on rides and immersive theming to compete directly with Disney. They haven't abandoned their roots as shown with the Bourne spectacular which I would love for them to bring to Hollywood, and retire Water world with a new attraction in that space.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I do like that USF has Horror Make-Up, Bourne and Animal Actors. I think Islands desperately needs at least two sit down shows though. At least Epic seems like it will have a few.

[@daphne8406]

Not a fan of Miami Vice and neither a fan of live shows but I must say this one does look fun, action packed and quite comedic 🤗 The directors background info on how stunts work would also have been very interesting 🤗

[@z50king29]

That's pretty cool. I've never watched Miami Vice or seen this show but seems like more fun that Water World

[@cynthiadodge2758]

[@CobraDBlade]

Big fan of Miami Vice here (even have the Miami Vice theme as my ring tone. Imagine my mini-panic when it started playing at 6:31). The stunt show being themed to Miami Vice seems a bit.... bizarre. Sure there were smatterings of slightly over-the-top 80s action in the TV show, but for the most part they were very good at keeping the action grounded and closer to realism (like 75% of the time I'd say.) Looking at just the stunt work in the show, I feel like it would have fit the original Rambo theme much, much better.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I haven't seen Miami Vice, though I am interested after having produced this video. Good to know that it's not this action oriented though.

I missed all the shows at my last visit to Universal Studios Hollywood. Where Transformers are now used to be a fantastic three part show dealing with different aspects of specials effects from green screen to sound. They’d pull in volunteers to help show what can be done in movies and tv shows. I was once a volunteer and got to stand against a recreation of the Statue of Liberty torch pretending to hang of for dear life. It was fun!! I miss that show SO much. One summer my brother and I spent a couple hours going on Jurassic Park, then drying off watching Backdraft, then back to Jurassic Park, then over to Backdraft to dry off. We thought we were so clever, but only did the rotation a couple of times haha

[@MCLegoboy]

Dude, this show sounds awesome! I think the thing that interests me most though is when the "director" comes out to talk about the stunts for a bit. There's a different kind of immersion that's being put on now. You're not just watching some show, you're watching the production of a show. They leaned into it being Universal Studios, but then when the action is all back, you can also snap back into enjoying the show for just being a stunt show. Even if it's all fake, these guys are still doing all these things for real, most of them without safety harnesses because they need to do this one thing to then run to another spot, crash through a railing, and fall into the water; it's incredible. The magic of movies, but kind of even more real and visceral because these guys are doing 5 minute sequences nonstop everywhere and not doing it 20 seconds at a time to get the shot and move to the next camera angle. And in recent years, you have the guys at Corridor Crew making friends with all the different stunt performers working in the industry today to learn what it takes to do all this kind of stuff, but not at Universal. I said it many videos of yours ago, but part of what made Universal Studios Florida cool is that it was riding the movies, or watching a show be put on, but there was some level of behind the scenes access at some point most of the time, even if it just when you were waiting in line; you went to Islands of Adventure for deeper immersion in the actual worlds of the properties. Knowing how things happen in your movies doesn't ruin them if you still feel the emotion, and sometimes you can even have a greater appreciation for your favorite movies because of the work that goes into making them happen.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I do really miss that movie making aspect of things. I'm always seeing people parrot that extra behind-the-scenes features on DVDs resulted in waning interest in shows like these, but I completely disagree. I would love to see stuff like this back. Also, a lot of these stunts were insane. I don't think that a lot of them would be done today. A lot of them certainly look a lot more dangerous than what's happening in Bourne, even if I do think that show is fantastic.

[@MCLegoboy]

@@PoseidonEntertainment Considering that DVDs, and sometimes even Blu-rays have little to nothing on them, and I have no idea how in-depth things get across various streaming services, bringing that behind-the-scenes aspect back to the park could be a good idea.

I trust you as a creator, so I was going to watch this eventually but, at the risk of sounding parasocial, hearting my comment on a text post asking why this video didn't do well was a great way to guilt me into watching it now (jk). I'm glad I did though, because it's an interesting story after all. But I had never heard of the stunt show, or would have thought Miami Vice a good property to make into a stunt show, but seeing as it's the prequel to the waterworld one it makes more sense. I didn't even watch Miami Vice when it was on, I was too young for it in its prime time days, and from the title I assumed it was a new show linked to the reboot series, not a history video. Maybe change the title to include the word forgotten, or history? That would have made me more interested. Just trying to be helpful, you do great work here.

Not sure if this is the exact reason but it’s probably easier to do stunt shows in LA because there’s tons of people who already do stunt work on movies and live in that area. There may not be as many people who live in Orlando who are stunt performers and it’s probably not easy to get stunt performers to move all the way to Florida for the job.
