The CSI: Miami Scene That Went Too Far

The Burn Baby Burn scene is Caine at his most ludicrous

Caine is an expert at explosive forensics, and he owes it to his background in bomb disposal. This is probably why the most memorable scene in "Curse of the Coffin" involves him, as the team discovers a bomb within a car. Caine races down the highway, parks at a deserted beach, and calmly walks out of the vehicle in an action-movie strut. As the car explodes behind him and his trademark sunglasses sit on his face, Caine coolly delivers the line "Burn, baby, burn."

Some fans on the "CSI" subreddit believe it's quite the outlandish scene, as u/Elementaryfan listed it as the most "... cringeworthy Horatio Caine/CSI: Miami moment, in all of ten seasons." Another Redditor agreed, writing, "Yeah, pretty much, and I'm usually a Horatio stan." The fumble with Caine's sunglasses also didn't help the scene to be taken seriously. u/bhind45 noted that Caine wears his sunglasses while driving the car and briefly takes them off when he parks — but puts them back on as he slowly walks away.

The scene is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Still, it also serves as a perfect example of why "CSI: Miami" can be a bit divisive among the franchise's fans, as some love it when the spin-off unashamedly ventures into ridiculous territory. However, we're not sure if that's how bomb experts properly diffuse car explosives in the same manner as Caine. The character may be based partially on a real LAPD bomb expert, but his unflinching walk away from the explosion in the scene is anything but real.
