Since I thought the past few episodes of Days were kind of boring (Lexie and Abe reuniting, Belle going to nursing school, Lucas almost frozen to death, another baby subplot, etc), I thought I would go to the vault (YouTube) and pull out a “lost classic”.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you The Miami Montage from 1985.
Whoever wrote this storyline should be hired back immediately. Let’s break it down:
- Hope and Bo with big Eighties hair and sleeveless scuba suits.
- Bo barefoot kicking Steve and the badly choreographed knife fight. “They’re breakdance fighting!”
- The little twirly-whirly move that Bo does with the knife. (He did the same thing with the gun that he wrestled away from Bart when he ambushed him and Andre on the roof.)
- Hope yelling “Get him Bo!” I could watch that all day.
- Josh Taylor in his original incarnation as
Sonny CrocketChris. - Chris and Shane (in a tux) in a helicopter. (Any storyline that utilizes a chopper is gold.)
- Shannon Tweed on a boat!
- Kimberly sleeping with Victor (back when the writers thought he was a viable character).
- Bo throwing Shannon Tweed off the boat. Timeless.
- Josh Taylor jumping out of a helicopter. I’d like to see Roman do this, but seeing as he can barely move his face, I think this is out of the question.
- Shane using a ladder to depart from the helicopter and shoot Patch.
- Patch’s backwards flip off the boat. (9.5 from the Russian judge.)
- The entire sequence set to “Just a Job To Do”.
- The fact that this could very well be a movie that I would watch on TNT on a rainy, Sunday afternoon.
- No Belle or Shawn.
