Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cocaine Cowboys is a 2006 documentary about the rise of the illegal cocaine trade in Miami, Florida and the resultant crime epidemic during the 1970s and 80s. The movie chronicles the development of the illegal drug trade in Miami during the 70s and 80s, focusing on the immense and easy riches as well as the resulting gangland violence and bloodshed. The story is told primarily from the perspectives of Jon Roberts and Micky Munday, who helped transport cocaine for the Medellín Cartel as well as Jorge "Rivi" Ayala, the main enforcer for notorious Cartel drug lord Griselda Blanco AKA "The Godmother".The 2008 sequel In Name Only, Cocaine Cowboys II: Hustlin' with the Godmother, documented the relationship between Oakland crack dealer Charles Cosby and Griselda Blanco against a backdrop of the early 90s crack cocaine scene. The second film is smaller in scope, dealing primarily with Cosby and Blanco's relationship as opposed to the first film's assorted cast of characters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ax-Crazy: Griselda Blanco, who is credited with starting the Miami drug war in the first place. Her violence gets so extreme and senseless that she is alienated from the rest of the Medellín Cartel, who makes multiple attempts on her life and forces her to move to California. By the time she is caught by police, she is estimated to have been responsible for the deaths of 200 people.

Black Widow: Griselda Blanco is outright called this due to her propensity for killing men she no longer finds useful.

Corrupt Cop: Police corruption was endemic, to the point that an entire academy year of the Miami PD ended up dead or in jail over drug-related corruption.

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: Played straight for most of the first film, until it all falls apart.
