Plot summary

If you put everything about the 80s in a blender, then somehow ran the resulting smoothie through a translator that only speaks languages from another dimension, what you’d wind up with still wouldn't be half as hilarious, weird, and oddly charming as Miami Connection. It's 1987, and the Biker Ninjas behind the Miami drug trade are finding themselves facing the newest heroes in town: the Taekwondo-loving rock band Dragon Sound! They'll focus all of their black belt skills, alongside performing their hit songs "Friends" and "Against the Ninja" at a popular Orlando night club - to end the threat of Ninja Biker violence once and for all!

"My father... MY FATHER!! MY FATHER!!!!"

Ninjas. Cocaine. Drug dealers. Rock & Rollers. Bikers. Tae kwon-do. Put all those together and you got Miami Connection, simply one of those awesomely stupid/bad movies that was made with an innocence to things like college (and who is young enough to look college-aged), what rock & roll looks like on stage, -reuninting with parental figures for supporting characters (or just one) we don't know about really otherwise; and yeah, cocaine, though not snorted as much as you might expect.Oh, and this was the Rifftrax cut, so there was a bit of Kevin Murphy singing "I'm a tough guy!" minutes after the song played to the unnecessary biker montage.

An Excellent Rifftrax show

If you're not familiar with Rifftrax, it's three of the stars of Mystery Science Theater, Michael J Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett, and they are still riffing on movies and doing these occasional live shows simulcast to theaters nationwide. This outing pairs the bizarre 1980's (and it is VERY 1980's) offering "Miami Connection" with an educational short about units of measurement. Both of these films are great for riffing. They have that special "so bad it's good" weirdness that makes them kind of funny all on their own, but adding the Rifftrax crew takes it to another level. I've seen all of the Rifftrax live shows and this is one of the better ones.
