Miami Vice.
way more Helter Skelter.

September 16, 1984 - 2024: 40 years of: Miami Vice.

ACAB (All Cops Are Beautiful)

Gone were the groovy late 70s California Highway Patrols of CHiPs ...welcome aboard the new modern macho men of Miami Vice. From cool, to über-cool ...to Ferrari Testarossa ridin' cool, Sonny & Rico are Floridian's law. Undercover detectives, both suave men plot and prosecute drug-lords in the most defying ways.

From fire-power to powdery-pastels, the groundbreaking Miami Vice looks forever changed men's fashion. Taylored to perfection and inspired by Armani, Boss and Versace, these fine fighters were always in-style. Ray-Ban wearing, the posh duo could do no wrong, while running after local bad guys.

Riding the newwave and current poprock sounds, the red hot theme-song encapsulate the decadent-decade with a hip-drive and primal rhythms. One review dared to state: "This is what cocaine sounds like."

Sailboat livin' and rubbing shoulders with current street-heroes of Magnum P.I. and cutting-edge Knight Rider, this sleek new face for law-enforcement was being spoon-fed daily, by the major-networks.

From Hawaii 5-0, to Miami Vice ...to Vice City, this badass legacy even got a millennium twist with one of the most sold video-games ever: Grand Theft Auto (Vice City). The swagger of Miami Vice would run for five seasons, dominate the 80s and eventually become a blue-print for TV stalwart: N.Y.P.D. Blue, Law & Order and recent hit C.S.I.
