"My mother was Korean, and my father was Black American. She gave me this picture when she was real sick. I was only nine years old. They say, that they loved each other and they were real loyal. They were real happy. But then, when he finished military duty, he left. And we never saw him again. She told me to find him! But I didn't like him, because he left us. But I knew one day when I grew up, I'd find him. Whether he was dead or alive. I sent a couple letters to the Defense Department and... nothing happened."
There's something so pure about this movie I mean they changed the ending to make it happier They sing about friendship They shower together Occasionally they murder people
@@chopitup9950 yea my uncles parents met in vietnam and he looks like bj penn and his brother looks like a light skin Terrel suggs lmao 😂. I guess my uncle had white friends and his bro had black friends 🤷🏼♂️
In my opinion, Miami Connection is not only a "so bad it's good" movie, but it's also the epitome of that "genre", maybe because it's all so freakin endearing and enjoyable and overall encompasses every feature in 80s indie action movies.
Dragon Force is a great band name. I'm pretty sure there's at least several high school metal bands that used that name before ever knowing there's a fake band with the name from an 80s movie
Ok, i met Y.K. KIM in college, he knows he made a bad movie but its got charm, and btw Kim Is a motivational speaker now and quite a successful businessman, however as nice a guy as he is, and a good person, he STILL speaks the worst English I've ever encountered and he confessed to me that he has been living in this country for 40 years (or he said thanks for the beers, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm like 73% sure he said I've been in america for 40 years) This brings back a lot of good memories. Great review and absolutely hilarious Mark 😆😆😆
It’s all about when you learn it. Most Asian languages don’t have some phonetic sounds, that are in English. So, you are literally rewiring your brain to make sounds you’ve never made in your life. It gets harder and harder to learn, without a deep accent, the older you get.
Chalks October I had a friend who was a student of YK Kim’s when we were in middle school in the mid 80’s and was in his commercials. He was the kid getting bullied, if I remember correctly.
It pisses me off when I see fanboyflicks left out of people's lists of top movie reviewers on CZcams. I can only assume it's because they haven't discovered him yet.
I just discovered him, and I’d never even heard of him before getting a CZcams suggestion. One big problem is he doesn’t post on a regular basis. Everyone else on top the list, of the best, are posting once a month at minimum, but normally closer to once a week. He has to stay in peoples minds, for people to continuously talk about his channel.
you are REAL ignorant. I AM and KNOW of many people who are half asian who have dark skin color aaopmn.org/2019/02/18/14-amazing-blasian-celebrities-you-should-know/
having lived in orlando most of my life, it was an absolute treat watching this movie - i absolutely loved seeing all of the filming locations around town - downtown/church street station, ucf, etc
Three weird things about Jim's monologue: 1) I think those are real tears, 2) the rest of the cast really holds it together, and 3) Right after he tells his friends that this is his real father, someone asks, "Are you sure?"
Either he's secretly telling his real life back story or under the shot hes pinching the shit out of his leg xD. The composure of the cast there is a little too impressive for me haha they're all enthralled with the new info about there brother they have a step dad! The movie's golden lol.
Me and the wife got married at a venue right where their nighttime downtown Orlando fight sequence occurred [with the train tracks]. She doesn't know i agreed to that spot because of that scene.
This may sound crazy but I like Mark. He seems like a really great guy and a good friend. They all seem like great guys, singing about friendship, not being afraid to be vulnerable. Good for them. I like our Mark, too. He's very vital for a 50-year-old.
angel milton Hasn't disappointed me yet. I think he should pay someone to edit for him so he can make more videos though. Actually he has disappointed me... he took down the Twilight series review videos. Those were my favorite.
The best I can figure is that Dragon Sound is "preventing" Jeff from controlling the area because his sister dating their bassist is so upsetting to him that he can't focus on running his drug ring. The dialogue makes it sound like the band is actively opposing him, and it doesn't help that they have a song called "Against The Ninja," but that seems to just be a coincidence. I don't know. Maybe the film actually gives a full explanation of this but we can't hear it because all the actors say their lines on top of each other in every scene.
This movie actually looks fabulous Holy shit, I can't believe how excited I was to hear you are reviewing Cool as Ice as I absolutely adore the theme song and enjoyed the choreography
Back in Orlando I went to study karate at one of Kim's dojo's and stopped at brown belt. I think Kim wrote all the songs for the band it sounds like it .
Nothing can top this as my favorite bad movie of all time. It’s premise is downright laughable when you say it out loud (a college Tae Kwon Do band fights against a group of cocaine dealing ninja bikers while singing about the power of friendship). The movie contradicts itself so often it’s hilarious. It’s not even set in Miami, and it denounces violence minutes after savoring each kill. The acting is incompetent but it’s also very earnest as well. It’s also competent where it matters. The neon lit cinematography isn’t bad and adds an 80’s charm to it, and I have seen far worse fight choreography from movies like this. It’s not like other bad movies where the production quality is so low that the movie is just ugly to look at
colten53 just because it wasn’t set in Miami it doesn’t mean it’s not the Miami connection, and the acting is spectacular, not one guy in the band laughed uncontrollably during the monologue, now that’s commitment and professionalism. You know nothing about movies.
If I ever need a truly rib-breaking laugh on a shit day, this video is something I come right back to. The crap with all of the "J" names at 3:40 fucking kills me!
Some suggestions: Dune The Avengers (1998) Plan 9 from Outer Space Caligula I spit on your grave The apple Myra Breckinridge Glen or Glenda Parting shots How do you know Reefer Madness The Babe Ruth Story No Orchids for Miss blandish Freddy got Fingered United Passions
It's fun watching these from the Playlist going backwards because I get all these little Ah Ha moments when I find out what things like Dragon Sound mean lol
5:37, "Right before their show, they go to a restaurant and eat"...which happens to think it's OK to serve food on PAPER plates! Lol 😆 Bonus clip: 15:55, Instead of just waving 👋, the salute by the guy in the red tank top was just masterfully done!
Though I know this movie is just a (un?)forgettable B-movie flick, as I'm Korean, I can see what was going on in the Asian guy's (who's co-directed and wrote this shlock) mind, because he's Korean, too: insane rivalry about practically anything about Japan (that's why movie's main villain is ninja, and one of the theme song is called "Against the Ninja"); devotion to parents (that explains why the Black guy cries and acts hysterically about the parents' letter); desperate attempts to be recognized as KOREAN worldwide, whether the foreign people cares or not... Those are the (quite nationalistic, I admit) frequent motifs that you could find in Korean fictional works or any of the cultural artifacts. They're today less frequently met in there (because the nationalism is not "in" anymore, particularly between the younger people), but when I was little (80's and 90's), those things were quite rampant - almost inescapable. I think this Taekwondo master is a product of its time. Well, at least, he tried and I completely respect that. (especially when I found out he practically was bankrupted due to the movie's failure) But it's also true that he's obviously a horrible translator of Korean cultures into American cinema; and budgetary problem, practically know nothing about how to make a movie, and he didn't have much charms neither as Bruce Lee nor as Jackie Chan - and, last but not least, just blindly following his own country's fad (nationalism) in a foreign country whose people didn't know anything about it.
To be fair America was pretty nationalistic at the time too. Also, I love this movie unironically! It's just so funny! I think it's less about the themes themselves and more about the poor set up (I mean we had no idea about the sub plot with the dad until half way into the movie). Also it's interesting to hear a korean's perspective!!
Now, this might sound crazy, but hear me out on this: I think Miami Connection has the potential for a modern revival as a TV series. Let me explain. Given how the 80's are basically in right now, why wouldn't someone want to make an over the top, ridiculous 80's style action series about a rock band group who fight ninjas in Miami, Florida? Heck, the show could go in detail about how the band first formed and who the individual members are. We could even get into the backstories of the villains of the show and how they wound up the way they are!
OK people let's sort this out. I think we can all agree that Mark puts a lot of effort in to each of his vids and clearly enjoys doing them. So let's get this guy more subs. Who knows maybe with more subs there will be more vids. Tell your friends stop the presses yell from the roof tops so on and so forth. Oops I nearly forgot. .. Oh hi Mark
6:00 "Why do we need to see the entire song?" Because it's"Against the Ninja"!!!! Anything less than the full song would be depriving us of 80s cultural perfection!
Yeah, there would be no point in watching this film if it actually stuck to the plot: it'd just be another forgettable 80s action flick. The song is part of what makes it entertaining!
The extended scene of the girls slapping curly mullet man (while smiling/laughing, lol) and him curled up in a ball is some of the funniest shit I've seen in a while.
Miami's drug problems have always been dwarfed by its ninja problems. This movie is just brave enough to talk about it.
bambubambubambu 😆
:) So true, finally someone has the balls to expose the truth.
bambubambubambu my kid was a respectable drug addict but now he is a filthy Ninja
Damn filthy Ninjas. One killed my brother, by karate-Chop overdose.
Damn dirty Ninjas.

It’s only missing the torture scene, when one of them get captured. When they Slowly cut off his mullet, and take all his mojo.
SO MUCH FUCKING 80'S.
And Jim's monologue
There's something so pure about this movie
I mean they changed the ending to make it happier
They sing about friendship
They shower together
Occasionally they murder people
Real bros know this is true love (which can only be found on the battlefield)
SELF DEFENSE lol
Lmao or the shower
A LOT of people!
The murdering seems gratuitous somehow....
"You have a father? I thought we're all orphans!" can end any fight.
My favorite orpan was Olivar Twast.
"My parents ARE from Israel..."
I love how his friends are just standing around looking sad during the whole three hours he's blubbering through his monologue
“A FRIEND?!”
😂 i died at that part
Me too 😂
“My mother was Korean”
No, she wasn’t.
Are you doubting Jim? He cried and everything, what is wrong with you?

It is extremely endearing.
Dragon Force is a great band name. I'm pretty sure there's at least several high school metal bands that used that name before ever knowing there's a fake band with the name from an 80s movie

So, you are literally rewiring your brain to make sounds you’ve never made in your life. It gets harder and harder to learn, without a deep accent, the older you get.
I remember the Y.K. Kim martial arts commercials after school, lol now it's called Martial Arts World.

"My mother was Korean..."

This Chanel is sooooo underrated.
Just like climate change!

One of the greatest “it’s so bad, it’s good” movies all time, and RiffTrax is amazing in this one 💯😂
Especially the Live Show, it's awesome and apparently Y.K. Kim and possibly a few more actors in the film were watching it at another location, lol.
Alright everybody just take your shit off, grab a towel and relax.
I would love to have a Dragon Sound recording. Invite some friends over, put it on, and start dancing maniacally.
Three weird things about Jim's monologue:
1) I think those are real tears,
2) the rest of the cast really holds it together, and
3) Right after he tells his friends that this is his real father, someone asks, "Are you sure?"
Either he's secretly telling his real life back story or under the shot hes pinching the shit out of his leg xD. The composure of the cast there is a little too impressive for me haha they're all enthralled with the new info about there brother they have a step dad! The movie's golden lol.
You know it's real when he calls the movie a "gem"
That monologue was painful
and hte actor was legitimately crying
That scene was very awkward.
I couldn’t finish. I had to skip!!😫
Lol that was the greatest thing ever
DarkMistyDay the monologue? Yeah, the rest of the movie was tight though.
Mark reminds me of jerry Seinfeld at points
Like when he's talking about the clothes?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that......
14:36
What is the deal? 🎙
He's definitely going for a Seinfeld vibe
I have a 14 hour day at work tomorrow and i should go to bed, but this is more important.

That black dudes monologue had me laughing out loud.
The best I can figure is that Dragon Sound is "preventing" Jeff from controlling the area because his sister dating their bassist is so upsetting to him that he can't focus on running his drug ring.
