David Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser ) is the policeman of the road, curls blacks and shamble, now in the police academy after a difficult childhood (he was in charge of his mother and younger brother after his father's murder) and the experience of war in Vietnam . Messy, disheveled, impulsive, eats only fast food in and is never separated by the automatism hidden under a brown leather jacket.

A dub the voice of actor Paul Michael Glaser is Manlio De Angelis, while actor David Soul is voiced by Cesare Barbetti.
from The pilot - never dubbed in Italian - are extrapolated some images that will be used, and then with others, to create the opening credits of the episodes from all four television seasons.
During the filming, especially in scenes of high risk, both actors Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul, will be replaced by stunt doubles, respectively, by stuntman Charlie Picerni and Gary Epper. Among the curiosities
signals the opening scene of the episode "The Tiger of Omaha" (first season) which is the same that you see in the episode "The Seer" (second season).
The setting in the slums, the irony of the lyrics and the strong feeling of friendship between the two protagonists are the elements that contributed the most to the success of the series. As of the third season, the writers fell for the action scenes more emotional content because of growing concern about excessive violence on television, contributing to the rapid decline in popularity of the series. The subsequent decision by the actor Paul Michael Glaser to abandon filming on the fourth season, put an end to the popular series.

Film
In 2004 came out Starsky & Hutch, a remake of the film TV series directed by Todd Phillips with Ben Stiller (Starsky), Owen Wilson (Hutch) and Snoop Dogg (Huggy Bear). The film seems designed as a second pilot for the series (in fact part of the constitution of the couple "Starsky and Hutch"), but the content is much closer to the final season. In the end, a small cameo with the original Starsky and Hutch (Glaser and Soul) clones to young people who deliver the keys to a new Ford Gran Torino.
