Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter opening to poor box-office showings and scathing reviews, the film was largely forgotten. In June 2009, Zack Carlson, a programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, Texas, happened upon a 35 mm print on eBay. Carlson had never heard of the film, but bought it for $35. In April 2010, Carlson screened the film at the Drafthouse, and it became wildly popular with cult film fans. More screenings took place in packed theaters. Drafthouse phoned Y.K. Kim about distributing the film. At first, Kim thought that the call was a cruel prank. Eventually, Kim realized that his film had become a popular midnight movie 25 years after its initial failure.

Featured review
It doesn't take long into watching "Miami Connection" to come up with a sizeable list of various kinds of ineptness to be found in it. But I want to start off by listing a few positive things about the movie. It is well photographed and lit, including the night sequences. Plus, the themes of friendship and loyalty found in the movie are commendable. And I can't say that the movie is *boring*. But more often than not, the movie gets away from being boring by being amusingly inept. The acting is incredibly bad; it's easy to see that none of the cast is a professional actor. The fight sequences are awkward. The songs are awful, but catchy enough that you won't be able to get them out of your head. And don't let me get started on the motorcycle ninjas! Is this a classic so bad that it's good movie? In my opinion, no - it isn't *quite* that aggressive in its badness. But with modern so bad that they're good movies being nearly impossible to find these days, this is adequate enough to feed your appetite for cinematic silliness.
