One of the best bad movies of all time. If you like movies about orphan ninjas in a rock band fighting a drug dealing bike gang in Miami, this is the movie for you. It also has a great sound track. #DragonSound #MiamiConnection #shitshow

Miami Connection (1987)

Miami Connection contains everything you want in a cult film; an action movie so awesome and yet so poorly put together it becomes one of the most entertaining experiences you will ever have. It only gets better with each viewing.

Mark (Y.K. Kim, the film's martial arts consultant, casting director, producer, and co-story writer), John (Vincent Hirsch), Tom (Angelo Jannoti), Jim (Maurice Smith), and Jack (Joseph Diamond) are orphaned black belt university students living in the same apartment. Together, they are Dragon Sound, “a new dimension in rock and roll”. They’re so awesome their success puts other bands out of business. This is where their troubles begin. When their disgruntled musical rivals team up with a gang of thugs led by Jeff (William Ergle) whose sister Jane (Kathy Collier) just started dating one of the band members, he brings in a group of motorcycle-riding ninjas to help take down Dragon Sound once and for all.

A masterpiece takes time, dedication, passion, effort, and a lot of talent. The people who made Miami Connection had all these qualities… except for the talent. The plot is ridiculous; merely an excuse to tie together action sequences, ninja battles, and Dragon Sound performances. The acting is wooden. The dialogue is laughable. The special effects are cheesy, the violence is gratuitous, and the choreography is lackluster. Many of the characters could have been cut out completely and it wouldn’t have changed a thing. All of them are paper-thin. The unbelievably good soundtrack and the escalation of absurdity make it a riot. The whole thing feels like an episode of Denver the Last Dinosaur or Jem and the Holograms if you took out the dinosaur and the holograms and replaced it with karate. Lots and lots of karate.

Just a few scenes in, you’ll be giddy with excitement. You can’t make a film this entertaining without pouring your heart and soul into it. That earnestness is palpable. This is a labor of love that didn’t turn out to be very good, but it’s got everything you want in a film that’s so terrible it’s entertaining. You’ll lose track of the multitude of deliciously quotable lines. When someone asks you what your favorite scene was, will you go with the argument between two managers that goes from 0 to 200 in less than six seconds? How about the maniacal ninja leader who seems a little bit too eager to shed blood? I’ve got to go with the musical numbers - half the musicians are just pretending to play between throwing karate kicks in the air.

The script is memorable (not to be confused with polished) and the way the actors deliver their lines matches. Inconsequential moments become gems of absolute hilarity. A scene of mail being opened is so amazing the good people at Drafthouse films put it on their poster. I can’t do it justice, you’ve just got to see it for yourself.

For the soundtrack alone, Miami Connection is worth seeing. If you don't "get" why people enjoy bad movies, you will after this one. This is a great party movie, a quotable comedy, a bonkers action film, a rock musical with crazy lyrics, and an experience you won’t soon forget. (On Blu-ray, July 2, 2016)
