Added DiffLines:

* FakeShemp: Very conspicuous stunt doubles for Creator/DonJohnson and Creator/RebBrown are used during Reb's attempt to pull a TakingYouWithMe by wrestling Sonny over the side of the boat. Probably because Johnson's stunt double hit his head on the side of the cargo ship in an unscripted accident, and the production team felt the resulting footage looked cool enough that it was worth using even with the obvious doubling involved.

* InformedAttribute: The Wire was apparently one of the largest drug dealers in the country, controlling a third of the cocaine in Miami. There's no sign that he was anything other than a poor biker and Reb has to rob a criminal to pay for his sister to be taken care of.

* ApatheticCitizens: Reb snipes a man at his birthday, causing him to fall dead into his cake. His guests just sort of wander off.


Added DiffLines:

* RealityIsOutToLunch: The action in this episode is cartoonish, super-violent, and the characters are ridiculous InvincibleVillain types. It's a very different feel from the rest of the series.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSociopath: A doctor describes Reb as a sociopath with no regard for human life.

Added DiffLines:

A biker named Reb Gustafson (Reb Brown) gets out of prison and is reunited with his former gang, the Violators. He finds out that his friend, Edward "The Wire" Constantine, has been killed and vows revenge on whatever individual is responsible. Reb shows just what sort of individual he is by killing new member Charlie to take his bike.

Watching the funeral, Reb finds out about all of the Wire's former business partners as the audience discovers that Tubbs is actually the man who killed him. It was during a police shoot out and to protect civilians. Reb's gang proceeds to start killing most of the Wire's business partners and discovers the cover identities of Sonny and Crockett from an easily intimidated Izzy.

Then the actual gets...gratuitous.

This episode contains the following tropes:

* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Reb and his gang are mass murdering psychotic crazy people who terrorize Miami for a week.
* AvengingTheVillain: Reb intends to avenge The Wire by any means necessary.
* BadBoss: Reb kills a newcomer to his gang for his bike and the others shrug it off.
* DenserAndWackier: ''Miami Vice'' gives up its usual gritty yet flashy police procedural rules for a grindhouse B-movie's action and violence.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Reb blows up the car he came in with a pistol. No, it doesn't make sense but it says everything you need to know about this episode.
* ImplacableMan: Reb seems less like a human being and more like the Terminator brought to Miami. He shrugs off everything from beatings to bullets.
* OddlySmallOrganization: The Violators are a terrifying biker gang that consists of five members with two of them dead at the start.
* RecycledScript: John Milinus (under the alias Col. Walter Kurtz) recycled his script for an unproduced movie called ''Fatal Beauty''.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Tubbs is ''shot in the head'' and is fine the next scene.
