Quiz
After 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.

Blooper
In the Dragon Sound performances, Mark's finger movements do not match the sound or tempo of the songs at all.

The Citizen Kane of 80s Ninja Musicals!

Miami Connection is the perfect storm of ugly people, bad acting, stupid dialogue, horrendous action sequences, and bargain basement special effects. I wasn't sure who to root for: the evil drug lord and his retarded henchmen who are painfully clueless and inept at the simple things like being threatening on any level - or the gangster ninjas who show up and steal drugs and money from the drug lord and easily demolish the loser henchmen - or the "heroes" of the flick, the awesomely awful and culturally diverse synth rock band the Dragon Sounds who I just wanted to watch get sawed in half a la the Scarface "shower scene."

Best lines include: "they don't make buns like that down at the bakery" and "my mother was Korean and my father was Black American"

God I love this movie, it has everything a true cinephile could ever dream for. Enjoy.
