Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
55:17 – 58:55… flip over. Here's my number one greatest fact from this movie. Colin Farrell is 11 years younger than Lee Gong. Gong Lee. You knew this? I didn't. Okay. Apex Mountain. Other than Dom from Entourage and Mojitos. What is your Colin Farrell Apex Mountain? Are you saying this is a belated apex? I'm saying that I think it might be in Rushmore. I think it's in the conversation. I mean, for me, it's the Miami Vice movie. Is it? It's the most profound Colin Farrell performance. Mine's in Bruges. Okay. Jamie Foxx, no. Michael Mann, no.

It's amazing that thing didn't flip over. Here's my number one greatest fact from this movie. Colin Farrell is 11 years younger than Lee Gong. Gong Lee. You knew this? I didn't. Okay. Apex Mountain. Other than Dom from Entourage and Mojitos. What is your Colin Farrell Apex Mountain? Are you saying this is a belated apex? I'm saying that I think it might be in Rushmore. I think it's in the conversation. I mean, for me, it's the Miami Vice movie. Is it? It's the most profound Colin Farrell performance. Mine's in Bruges. Okay. Jamie Foxx, no. Michael Mann, no. Gong Lee, definitely not. Probably not. The Mojo Speedboat, yes. Until we buy it. Try to race it to Hawaii. 500 grand? Yeah. That's about it. Anything else for Apex Mountain? I mean, the Thompson Viper cameras. Way to go for those. Apex Mountain for those. This is the easiest category we've ever had. Would Danny Trejo have made this movie better? Is there any role? There's 20 roles he could play in this. That you wouldn't have cast Trejo in. He could have been. With the exception of Trudy. He could have been. Like an Eddie Murphy movie where he plays all the parts. He plays Crockett, Tubbs. He could have played Fujima. He could have played Euro. He could have played Montoya. He could have played. The sad face sergeant guy. What's that guy's name? Crockett or Tubbs. Yeah. Right. I mean, like he could have played. He could have played Alonzo. He could have been. He basically is Alonzo in heat. He definitely could have been Alonzo. Yeah. Put me out of my misery. He could have played John Hawks. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. He could have played Alonzo. Well, Danny, it's almost insulting that he wasn't. This is the Trejo movie. It's insulting that he wasn't in this. Probably what we would have just, you know, we would have had ourselves a blockbuster on our hands if Trejo is in this movie at least once. I wonder if Michael Mann and Trejo had a falling out during heat. That's a good question. That's the only reason I can think of that he wasn't in this movie. Or he had a scheduled conflict. Picking Nets. You mentioned the cell phone thing, which is just being able to have cell phone calls and speedboats and convertibles is a stretch. Where do they get all the money for the Dre? That's never been clear in any TV or movie. How they just have so much cash on hands. So I always assume that they have repossessed cash, houses that they've repossessed, I guess, clothes? You're talking tens of millions of dollars. Yeah. Like cars. The other thing I've always wondered, and this is one of my issues with Miami Vice, even when I was watching as a kid. How did Crockett and Tubbs stay undercover for that long in one city? Oh, God. Remember? How is the word not out on the street? Turn away from the crime scene. Yeah. It's like, just like two guys driving around a Ferrari is normal anyway? Like, do you guys just not notice that? In the TV show, his alias was Sonny Burnett. Yeah. I was like, oh, that'll throw him off the scent. I love it when it's just one name. Yeah. They do that with witness protection. No, no, it's not Sonny Crockett. Yeah, with witness protection sometimes they do that. Any other pick and nits we covered at the speedboat from Miami to Cuba? How they had clothes in Cuba? There's a moment- How he just disappeared from work for four days during this massive investigation that he's allegedly supposed to be doing? I'll be right back, guys. When the Aryan Brotherhood- I've never done a drug deal with a white supremacist biker gang, but when the Aryan Brotherhood

There's like really cool shit in Miami Vice. But Michael Mann's done other stuff. In a weird way, I've started to associate this movie with Farrell. What about you? Farrell. There you go. You can see in my rundown, usually I have candidates who won the movie. Just one guy. I just said Colin Farrell. A list of one. I think this was his Apex Mountain. This is great. We're starting the Colin Farrell Miami Vice renaissance. But it has closed captioned. You have to watch it with closed captioned. And mojitos. Let's go have some mojitos. Let's. Thanks to Evan. Thanks to Hotel Tonight. Thanks to BMW. Thanks to Zip Recruiter. Thanks to Havana. Thanks to Havana. Thanks to the Mojo Speedboat, which we're going to buy someday. We're going to go somewhere 110 miles an hour. Thanks to Seasickness. Thanks to Gong Li. Thanks to Michael Mann. Thanks to Jan Hammer. I don't know what the next rewatchables movie is. Goodfellas has been streaming on Netflix. It's in the mix. Come on. It's time. It's time for Goodfellas. We've been eyeballing Goodfellas. I'll be interested. You can mail us at the mailbag at theringer.com. We have a couple of classics that are sitting on the on deck circle. Well, I'd be interested to know from the audience how far we're allowed to go with Goodfellas. How many hours? Because Good Will Hunting was 103 minutes. Will the podcast be longer than the runtime? So Goodfellas was two and a half hours? I can do an hour on Sorovino. It's at least two. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, everybody.
