- TriviaThe reason behind John Diehl leaving the series varies. One report stated Universal and NBC cut costs because ratings were down, another said that Diehl was tired of the underwritten role, and a third stated that Diehl enjoyed the role but wanted to go into theater and expand his creativity. Diehl himself has stated that a combination of the last two was his main motivation.
- GoofsMoon is visited by Guzman and his thugs. Upon being kicked in the head twice, Moon is bloodied on the left side of his face. When the camera cuts back to Moon after Guzman delivers his line, Moon now has a bloody streak going up the right side of his face.
- Quotes
Det. Larry Zito: [to Crockett and Tubbs. Obviously pissed off at Moon's death] So a robbery gone bad is how it's going to go down. You and I both know who did this.
[pauses and shouts]
Det. Larry Zito: I told you I didn't want to get Moon involved, I told myself that... I didn't listen to myself!

Correction in the credits
Don King actually plays a character named Don Cash in the episode "Down for the Count". This episode suffers from a malady that was common to episodes of Miami Vice after the first two seasons. It's kind of a victim of its own success. The episode is packed full of people from the boxing world. Tex Cobb is the only halfway decent actor out of the bunch, though Don King is entertaining delivering what is essentially a monologue to Crockett and Tubbs, but not as entertaining as if the words were the spontaneous product of his own mind. A lot of these episodes from the second half of the series are packed full of stars. Anyone and everyone wanted to be part of Miami Vice. This does have one of the better plots of the third season, though.
