Legends of Offshore Powerboatracing: Don Johnson, Chuck Norris, Al Copeland, Donald Trump

Don Johnson was the 1988 world offshore champion, so he wasn’t just some poser with great hair and a fake tan; the tan was actually real.

Executive producer Michael Mann prohibited the use of "earth tones" during production. Bobby Roth, a director on Miami Vice, recalled:
"There are certain colors you're not allowed to use, like red or brown. For example, if the script calls for 'a Mercedes pulling up,' the car department will show you three or four options-one in white, one in black, and another in silver. But you won’t see a red or brown one. Michael has a precise vision for how things should appear on camera."
Miami Vice was also one of the first American network TV shows to be broadcast in stereophonic sound, with all episodes mixed in 4-channel stereo throughout its run.
Don Johnson, the star of the show, wasn’t just a TV actor with great hair and a real tan-he was actually the 1988 world offshore champion. Offshore racing was in a golden age at the time, with big personalities, celebrities, and fast boats becoming a major part of the scene. The introduction of surface drives, pioneered by Howard Arneson, was a game-changer in the 1980s, pushing the sport to new heights with more advanced designs and powerful engines.
Rumor has it that Don Johnson would race in white Gucci loafers and a linen Armani suit under his vest, although this is not verified.
