* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The car Crockett drives for the first two season is not a real Ferrari but a commercially sold knockoff. (The production had requested a real Ferrari from the manufacturer but were turned down.) By the third season the Ferrari company had started litigation against the manufacturers of such cars, spelling potential legal trouble for a series which so prominently displayed one. However, at the same time ''Miami Vice'' had gained enough popularity for Ferrari to now offer to donate a real car to the production. Writing an in-universe reason for the switch led to the memorable scene in third season where an illegal arms dealer (played by Creator/JeffFahey) demonstrates an anti-tank rocket on Crockett's car when he poses as a buyer.

* ColbertBump: The worst episode of the series according to many, "[[Recap/MiamiViceS3E22VikingBikersFromHell Viking Bikers from Hell]]", received a new fandom due to ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'' doing a send up of it.

* CreatorBacklash: Like everyone else (save for, oddly enough, then-showrunner Dick Wolf), Creator/OliviaBrown hated the widely-panned "Missing Hours" episode.

** Season five contains another goof relating to a character's beard, when Tubbs appears clean shaven in "Borrasca", only for his facial hair to return in the next episode, before he then shaves it off ''during'' that episode. Another major continuity issue in the season concerns the placement of the "lost" episodes -- these were not originally broadcast as part of thew show's network run, but were instead shown later. This is typically reflected in lists of the show's episodes, but having them appear after Crockett and Tubbs quit the force in the series finale "Freefall" clearly makes no sense.
