so the wife has been on a big Miami Vice kick, I've been along for the ride enough to get mildly annoyed at being expected to accept Frank Zappa as a drug kingpin
one time Crockett's pet alligator is on and I'm all "heh back then those were highly endangered and-" then some other cops show up and IMMEDIATELY call him out exactly on this
now she's watching Manhunter and at one point some gal is talking minutiae about developing film and my dim memories of high school photography in the longlong ago say she's totally right
glancing the wiki it turns out Manhunter wasn't just "whoops we didn't secure the movie rights to Miami Vice, but the studio had the rights to some book with some hannibal guy", Mann was in long-term contact over years with serial killers and the FBI and this was some very serious effort to the point the just shot some scene on an airplane and told the flight crew to chillax and gave them Manhunter film crew jackets

so I look a little more, he does Tokyo Vice with ... 'Jake Adelstein" wait a minute... THATS THAT GUY
that dude from that Yakuza 3 review with the real yakuza and one's in the Doraemon sweats and the interchange of
"oh man that's some bullshit that place is all a damn bunch of fuckin' gaijin now"
"breh, that's not cool"
"oh yeah my bad, that place is all a damn bunch of fuckin' gaikokujin now"

Nigger he had Little Richard and G. Gordon Liddy as guest stars.

At first blush I thought OP was just a regular retard, but now I think he might actually be on to something.
 
Michael Mann should've been fried more for The Keep tbh

OP actually makes sense if you already know what he is talking about I guess. Michael Mann was a film director "Mann is known for realistic crime stories and strong visual style. He became well known through crime films and by helping create and produce the TV series Miami Vice. His work often focuses on professional criminals, police investigations, and the psychological effects of crime." (Wikipedia) . He directed Thief (1981), Manhunter (1986), Heat (1995), The Insider (1999), and the first episode of Tokyo Vice (he was Executive producer for the series). Mann was also executive producer on the TV show Miami Vice (1984) - he didn't actually direct it. Mann directed the Miami Vice movie from 2006 (which is not what OP is referring to).

OP is referring to 3 TV shows Miami Vice, Manhunter, and Tokyo Vice.

OP is saying his wife (OP's wife not Mann's wife) was watching Miami Vice (the 1984 TV show, not the movie) recently and OP was watching with her and he started noticing lots of real world lore in the movie. All these productions are crime thrillers or detective movies so he is saying that Mann was actually doing a lot of research into real life cases. At the beginning he points out that Mann is portraying Frank Zappa (the original 60's - 70's rock star vampyrate, if you will) as a drug kingpin and on the face of it that's not very realistic, however, he immediately follows that up by pointing out attention to details in the show around animal protection law: Sonny Crockett is a character in Miami Vice who has a pet alligator, at the time the show was made, alligator were apparently a protected species so you shouldn't have one. In the show, the police points out that Crockett should not own such a pet, this means that the show is in fact realistic and Mann was very detailed oriented.

Then he talks about Manhunter, that TV show started in 1986, few years after Miami Vice started in 1984 and he is saying that this wasn't the studio randomly assigning a project to Mann because they had the right to "some books" written by Thomas Harris (Thomas Harris is the author of the novel "Silence of the Lambs" but that wasn't published until 1988 so he is probably referring to an earlier book, likely Red Dragon). That project was, according to OP, actually something Mann wanted to do and that he had been doing extensive work on it by investigating real life cases.

He makes similar observations about Tokyo Vice. He is saying that Tokyo Vice is based on Jake Adelstein's memoir and Adelstein was a real life crime investigator who reported on the world of Yakuza. The last sentences are more difficult to read but basically, I think he is saying that Jake Adelstein's work was also used for Yakuza 3 and that's how he (OP) connected the dots and then he remembers some Yakuza (?) wearing a sweatshirt with the anime character Doraemon on it and then some conversation between those real yakuzas probably from an interview about either the game or the tv show (I assume the former).
 
It should really trouble people that giving a fuck and showing any competency now gets you labeled autistic. wow so he wrote a scene that was realistic instead of making shit up as he goes along? yeah he must be autistic instead of just a regular person that knows what the fuck he's doing. every director or screenwriter is supposed to heavily research whatever project they're on so it ends up turning out well, its like trying to write a story set in a court room without ever knowing what a court room or how the law process works, yeah its tolerated now but people used to be competent and were expected to show their work. its why ER was made by a real life ER guy, most of the popular law shows were created by former lawyers.

Zappa was a complete drug using degenerate though, probably a dealer and runner, thief and porn producer

thats crazy, because every fucking boomer uncle i know went "actually he was straight edge, he hated hippies"
 
He might be.

He's one of those artists who doesn't really do paycheck jobs, he makes the things he wants to make.
Sure, he co-produced stuff like Hancock but he's never going to write or direct Jurassic Park 9.
He has his few specific areas of interest like the cop/gangster thing that half of his projects involve, he likes that shit instead of Sonic the Hedgehog.
