It's not particularly rare for actors to return to similar roles (even if they're sometimes playing stereotypical ones). Michael Cera has played countless bad boys, Michelle Rodriguez rarely strays from being a badass, and Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, and Vin Diesel are always unstoppable tough guys.
But that rarely happens when an actor returns to a role after 40 years. That was the case for Don JohnsonWho is back from the legendary series? Miami Vice To play a cop in the new Netflix movie Rebel RidgeAnd he brought something small with him.

They fight drug trafficking and prostitution, and there's often a big shootout at the end of each episode. There are cool cars, cool clothes, and cool guns. It was the epitome of entertainment. It did things differently; it wove current pop music, memorable songs, and dazzling costumes, especially with James Crockett.
The series ran for five seasons and was a critical success. It won a number of awards, including four Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Grammy Awards, two People's Choice Awards, and at least 33 other nominations throughout its run. People magazine wrote that Miami Vice It was “the first show that looked really new and different since the invention of color television,” which is a great compliment. A new version of the film was released in 2006 starring Colin Farrell as James Crockett and Jamie Foxx as Ricardo Tubbs.
Rebel Ridge is a new action thriller on Netflix.
Action Thriller on Netflix Rebel Ridge It has been the talk of the movie world for the past few weeks.Starring Aaron Pierre, the film tells the story of a black man, Terry Richmond, who is pulled over in his car by the police while on his way to post bail for his cousin. The police officer takes the money, but Richmond, having lost almost everything, sets out on a mission to get his money back and expose the corruption rampant in the small town with the help of a court clerk, Summer McBride (AnnaSophia Robb). But the police chief and his gang won't let them off easy.
Rebel Ridge It is being hailed as the best thriller of the year. This film was a reinvention of this old, over-exploited genre. Not only did Jeremy Saulnier’s excellent direction result in a film with a specific and captivating mood, it also resulted in Pierre playing the best role of his career. He shined as a rebel who would stop at nothing to show the dark side of the police force. The story was also extremely well-written, with a slow burn and a great deal of suspense, keeping the viewer engaged throughout its running time.
Don Johnson's Rebel Ridge and Miami Vice Connection
If Johnson played a charismatic cop in Miami ViceThis is not the case in Rebel RidgeHis age now better suits a seasoned, status-quo police chief willing to go to great lengths to protect himself and his officers, rather than the boat-dwelling, Ferrari-driving, crocodile-guarding undercover cop he played 40 years ago. However, The two characters share one similarity: their weapons.. They both carry Bren Tin pistols.. Legendary Miami Vice Once again, the weapon falls into Johnson's hands but with a slightly different appearance, as in Rebel Ridge It features a blued steel body with a wooden grip.
The Bren Ten was only produced from 1983 to 1986 due to some units being delivered with missing or non-functioning magazines. Although considered by some to be the best pistol of its time, only 1,500 were ever made. So it seems an odd choice to feature it (and prominently, even in the trailer) in Rebel Ridge If it wasn't a conscious choice, it's probably an Easter egg that fans of the actor will find and appreciate. However, carrying an old-fashioned pistol seems appropriate for an old police chief.
Although they were made 40 years apart, Miami Vice and Rebel Ridge They share a common thread: a police officer played by Don Johnson who carries a rare Bren-Ten pistol. It must have been so exciting for the actor to put on his police hat again, albeit with a completely different character, and to reclaim his old weapon that the actor said in an interview that he might return to Miami Vice If you are invited at all. Miami Vice Available for purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV. Rebel Ridge It is currently streaming on Netflix.
