Episode 21 - Miami Connection
Gobble, Gobble Bombers and welcome back to the Not A Bomb Podcast. Turkey month is here!!!! Brad and Troy, friends forever, pack their bags and head to Orlando…er, Miami for 1987’s independent martial arts film – Miami Connection. The podcast rocks out to the iconic Taekwondo band, Dragon Sound, and the guys also discuss this film’s crazy journey to cult status.
Miami Connection is an amazingly, bad film. No, really! The plot falls apart with the ever-so slightest examination and the action choreography…well…I guess we can call it action choreography…is something truly unique. However, the earnest performances, the amazing Mickey Mouse Club music, the ninja biker gangs, a multi-national martial arts rock band, middle aged college students, and karate John Oates, create a film that you must see to believe. You want a movie that is so bad that it’s good???? You’ve come to the right dojo!
Miami Connection is directed by Richard Park and Y.K. Kim, and stars Y.K Kim, Vincent Hirsch, William Ergle, Siyung Jo, Kathie Collier, Joseph Diamond, Maurice Smith, and Angelo Janotti.
Additionally, the guys discuss the following films:
Duel to the Death – 1983
Ninja III: The Domination - 1984
Pray for Death – 1985
Cool as Ice – 1991
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle II: The Secret of the Ooze - 1991
