  Miami Vice Theme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The song "Miami Vice Theme" was released in September 1984 and was created and performed by Jan Hammer as the theme to the television series Miami Vice.
Miami Vice's pilot episode, made as a two-hour TV movie, did not originally have a theme, but the musical sounds and notation that would become the theme were present as background score.
The theme is also nostalgically remembered as the song played during the first few three-point competitions at the NBA All-Star weekend, including the one in 1986 where Larry Bird famously walked into the locker room and told all his competitors they were playing for second place.

 The Music Of Miami Vice
Yet while his overwhelming commercial success, his contribution to the Miami Vice phenomenon and its lasting imprint on the industry are indisputable, Hammer might never have dreamed of producing this definitive collection of his work were it not for the volume of fan requests which come his way even today via his web site.
Miami Vice redefined television and Jan Hammer's soundtrack completely redefined the way in which shows were scored.
The old favorites, such as the original "Miami Vice Theme" and "Crockett's Theme", are all there but the real payoff is a complete disc, 22 tracks, of previously unreleased gems such as "The Talk", surely one of Hammer's finest compositions from his three and a half years scoring Miami Vice.

Miami Vice is beautifully shot but the lead characters lack the charisma of their TV series counterparts, and the underdeveloped story is well below the standards of Michael Mann's better films.
Miami Vice exudes the kind of gritty life we expect, so much so that you might argue that neither Crockett nor Tubbs deserves to be called a main character; Mann reserves that role for crime itself.
Miami Vice, as entertaining as some of it is, is so cool that it's almost too cool.

 Miami Vice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miami Vice was a popular television series (five seasons on NBC from 1984-1989) starring Don Johnson (James "Sonny" Crockett) and Philip Michael Thomas (Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs) as two Miami police detectives working undercover.

The model used in Miami Vice was customized with a chromed slide so that it showed up better during night shots, and was actually a model chambered in.45 ACP and rigged to shoot.45 blanks, despite the show referring to it as being a 10mm Auto.
