Did you know
- TriviaFirst appearance in the series of Edward James Olmos as Castillo.
- GoofsCrockett and Tubbs discuss what will happen to Jerry, who had shot and killed Vinnie. They stated he'd go to prison, however when Vinnie was shot, he was holding several people at gunpoint. Under Florida law at the time, Jerry's use of force was legally justifiable as deadly force in defense of others, so it was unlikely he'd be sent to prison.
- Quotes
Detective Ricardo Tubbs: Handcuff him and book him!
Albert Lombard: On what charge? Conspiracy to commit lunch? I'll be out on time for my two o'clock racquetball game.
- Alternate versionsIn the UK, for both its original TV airing and all subsequent releases, this episode has been edited to remove 9 seconds from the cock fighting scene, as per the BBFC code regarding animal cruelty. The nine seconds are made up of four shots of the birds themselves. In the edited version, the birds are never seen on screen.

Featured review
Introducing Lt. Martin Castillo; a solid episode
Although it's difficult to avoid playing "spot the stunt-double" in this episode of "Miami Vice", it's a well structured and interesting tale with some memorable moments.
"One Eyed Jack" is notable as being the first story to include the ultra-cool Martin Castillo. Never a man of many words, his first interactions with Crockett and Tubbs aren't particularly friendly but Crockett soon starts warming to his new boss. Picking Edward James Olmos for the part of Castillo was inspired casting. With Olmos joining the regular cast, the "Miami Vice" series truly stood out as landmark television. Not surprisingly, in 1985, Olmos won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in the series.
The cast of "One Eyed Jack" includes the first appearance of the excellent Dennis Farina as Lombard. Joe Dallesandro ("Flesh for Frankenstein") plays Vincent, Lombard's debt collector.
Although it's another dark episode overall, "One Eyed Jack" is a rare occasion where the final scene and freeze-frame leaves the viewer in a more upbeat mood than normal.
8 out of 10.
