On August 31, 1985, the Surf Theater became statewide headlines following the attempted androcide of a 19-year-old black man named Curtis D. White, who was shot in the left side and the arm while attempting to meet up with a 15-year-old black girl (with Jamaican or West Indian accent) in front of the Surf Theater.
The girl, a rare and unusual suspect, pulled out a .25-caliber nickel-plated pearl-handled automatic pistol and shot the man twice before saying, “This is for talking to me”, and fleeing on-foot north as the victim fell. The Surf Theater was showing “Cease Fire” starring Miami Vice actor (and very brief pop singer) Don Johnson at the time of the shooting. Police didn’t confirm if the girl is a misandrist. Meanwhile after the shooting, a female cashier in the ticket booth of the nearby Normandy Theater, which was showing “Gremlins” at the time, ran into the roadway and flagged down a Miami Beach police car under a Code 3 response, complete with lights and sirens.
On May 8, 1988, a man was shot several times while people were waiting to enter the Byron-Carlyle VII before the suspect drove away. It was most likely that the shooting was connected to the movie “Colors”, which there was a series of real-life incidents at movie theaters that were connected to the movie itself, and was showing that exact movie at the time of the shooting. According to an employee who worked for the tickets, he looked up and saw six or seven people dash past the theater followed by a man waving a gun before shots were fired around five-to-ten minutes later.
On April 17, 1988, a midnight screening of “Colors” in one of the auditoriums turned into chaos after an 18-year-old man was shot in the side and seriously wounded near the entrance of the Showcase. The shooting happened around 12:30 AM ET, and moviegoers were told to “hit the floor” (or take shelter). Police discovered that a cluster of bullet holes in two of the theater’s glass windows were boarded with plywood.
