<P> "In the Air Tonight" has been licensed repeatedly for use in films, television and advertisements for various products . </P> <P> In the 2009 film The Hangover, the protagonists encounter boxer Mike Tyson and his entourage after returning from an amnesiac night in Las Vegas, in which they absconded with the boxer's pet tiger . Tyson imitates the iconic drum breakdown with his hands, lip syncs the song with the group, and proceeds to punch Zach Galifanakis to the floor in retribution . </P> <P> It was used in the train sequence of the 1983 film Risky Business and appeared on the soundtrack album . </P> <P> In 1984 the song was featured in the pilot episode of U.S. television show Miami Vice ("Brother's Keeper"), one of the first pop / rock songs to be featured as part of a television program in this manner . Its use in that scene was "a moment that first signaled to audiences and critics that Miami Vice had something to offer that few other TV programs on the air in 1984 could match", The A.V. Club wrote in 2012 . It subsequently "bubbled under" the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 102 in late 1984 and appeared on the television soundtrack album released in 1985 . On the heels of this successful merging of media, Collins became associated with the show; other Collins tracks including "Take Me Home" were later featured, and Collins himself also acted in the second season episode "Phil the Shill". This song was later used in the show's fourth season episode "A Bullet for Crockett" for its car chase opening scene, a clear reference to the show's pilot episode . A cover of "In the Air Tonight", performed by American metal band Nonpoint, also appeared in the 2006 film adaptation . </P>
