MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

Quite possibly the most fun that I have had watching a movie in a theater. Screened at Fantastic Fest this year and is making the "midnight movie" rounds. I can't recommend this movie enough. It is wall to wall awesome!!

That poster looks like something that would have appeared in Variety in the early 1980s advertising some Filipino action movie.

Movie is from 1987, his self-promotional video makes it seem like he's still in 87

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

This really is an amazing film to see in a packed theater. There's a positive vibe that the crowd can't help but to absorb. Beware, it can bring on constant high fives and Kung fu practice. DRAGON SOUND!!

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

I still can't decide which line delivery is more amazing, "Oh, man...ninjas." or "I did not know [dramatic pause] you had a father."

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

Watching this at home alone is probably not as much fun as watching it with a crowd that is familiar with the movie. From this thread I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek parody/satire film like Black Dynamite, not a legitimately bad movie like The Room. It took me a while to get into the right mindset, but I ultimately did start to enjoy it. My favorite parts were the song about friendship and the black guy's monologue about his father. I would like to see it again in a theater environment.

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

Finally watched this today. Loved it! Every 80's Action film should have Ninjas.

I almost died laughing near the end of the film:

Spoiler:
Where the 'White Ninja' is obviously a stunt double. He goes from being an old Asian man to a White guy with a thick ass mustache. Also the fact that Jim's Dad looked younger than he did had me laughing pretty hard

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

Finally watched this on Netflix last night. I would love to see this with a packed theater. It's just such an 80's hodgepodge or awesomeness that watching it alone is nowhere near as fun.

Out of the hundred-plus movies (Of a certain kind) that I watched last month, MIAMI CONNECTION was the one that reigned supreme!!!

Re: MIAMI CONNECTION D:Y.K.Kim

Since this thread is fairly recent, thought I'd ask if anyone has purchased a blu ray directly from Drafthouse Films and what they're experience was like. This movie is now OOP through retailers but it seams the website is still selling it. I might pick it up if the site isn't a hassle.

^ Didn't purchase from Drafthouse, but I did contact them about the OOP status of Miami Connection. I was told it's only temporary, as they are in the process of switching distributers (from Image Entertainment to Cinedigm). It should be back in print soon enough.

Oddly enough director Y.K.Kim has placed his initials on the zippers of all my jeans.

I have purchased several items from them with no problems.

Also I highly recommend FarCry 3: Blood Dragon as a good complementary item to this movie.
