This is one of those movies that read like a 10 yr old wrote the script: "There are these ninjas, and they're bad guys. They're so bad they ride bikes. And then there's the good guys. They do martial arts, and they are friends and go to school together. And they have a band and play the guitar! But then the bad guys don't like them and don't like their music and don't like it that they're so much better at martial arts than the bad guys are. So then they fight, and they use swords, and one of the good guys almost gets killed! But the good guys win, they kill everyone and they all return to school the next day. The end."
My favorite part of movies and tv shows set in Miami is how they're always traveling back and forth from Miami to Tampa or Orlando. That's like a 4 hour drive each way.
I used to live in Florida (Panhandle native) and went to school at UF so I've done those drives many times plus up to Jax and Tallahassee and I'm not a big fan.
"Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace" - Said literal moments after our heroes brutally murder a bunch of ninjas in the woods.

This movie means a lot to me on a personal level. I was an or-pan myself growing up. Unfortunately I was raised in the 90s so I had to be part of a boy band and fight trailer park gangs that sold crystal meth.
@@StarShipGray , damn, so were there any corrupt politicians and weapons that were involved in those fights, as well as food and items that were found under wooden crates, oak barrels, oil drums, traffic cones, etc.?
Why are there so many songs about friendship and bands that do tae kwon do? Everyone shares the john And throws in for breakfast And plays local college shows Think there's a subplot in there about ninjas stealing cocaine and money Someday we'll find it The Miami Connection The tough guys, the orpans, and me...
This is a mind f***. I'm from Central Florida and I grew up attending YK Kim Taekwondo in the late 80s and early 90s, and it was not until the last several years that I realized he had made a movie back then. And that it was this ridiculous
I agree. I own this one and watch it frequently, but there's something about the live stream that reminds me of the days when MST3K was on CC & SciFi. I can't not watch...
I enjoy watching their twitch channel. You never know what will come on next and the chat is amazing. The mods are a lot of fun and they make sure to keep things light so that it's enjoyable whenever you're on.
Seriously, I love Rifftrax but their formula frustrates me sometimes..I pay for the monthly friends account, but that only gets me like 10% of the content, otherwise you gotta buy everything individually which would add up to hundreds haha I've seen a lot on Prime & Tubi, but would gladly pay a little more even just to get the audio tracks
I rarely say this about the movies ending up on MST3k/RiffTrax but what gets me, is they seem like a group of legitimately decent guys. It's a terrible movie and they're not great actors, but I do applaud the clearly passion project. I say the same about Time Chasers. _"Oh my God!"_
If you haven't, I would like to humbly suggest you look into the origin of this film, specifically the Y.K. Kim story of how he saw his mother's ghost which told him to complete the movie.
This movie is really silly but part of why I love it is the sincerity behind it. It is sweet in its message of friendship and ridiculous at the same time. And those songs are legit 80s goodness!
God Bless the good hardworking people at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas and Vinegar Syndrome for finding and bringing us lost gems like this and New York Ninja.
Sadly, Peyton Manning will not be joining them for said sitcom... because he was unfortunately, moments earlier, brutally murdered by a ninja star, also known as a shuriken. F in the chat for bootleg Peyton Manning's stunt double, everyone.
You can say whatever you want about this film, but grandmaster YK Kim really pulled it together and made some pretty cool fight scenes here. The fight choreography is really good and the storyline is cool too. His Hang-Up was that he had no filmmaking experience. Nevertheless it's lit well, beautifully shot, and should have actually received more Acclaim. in the '80s martial arts / ninja films where rather ubiquitous in the US for a Time.
The best part of this Riff is listening to you guys chuckle at each other's jokes. It makes me laugh 10xs harder and I may have peed myself a little one time.
Damn it. Now I’ll have “against the ninja” in my head for the next few months. But at least it’s better than Birdemics “Hanging out with my family”….or is it?
two different characters giving long, melodramatic monologues about how their fathers walked out on them... always made me wonder if the screenwriter had some issues they were trying to work through
Love their song lyrics in this! 23:36 - 🎶 “Put me down for 20 bucks…against the ninja!” 🎶 52:52- 🎶 “Riding on motorcycles/Through Central Florida!/Well, some of us are wearing scarves,/and some of us…are HUUUGGEE!” 🎶
The less-than-epic final battle at the end took place at Dixon Azalea Park where I took my wedding vows in the mid-80’s! Funny, I don’t remember seeing any fighting ninjas… but then , ninjas are sneaky like that!
This is the laugh I sorely needed today…a few hours ago I found out that one of my Aunts passed away and it really didn’t set in until a few minutes ago…movies like this, with the Rifftrax crew, have really helped keep my mood up and positive…also the fight scene at the 28:07 mark where you can clearly hear what sounds like a chicken clucking is priceless 😂…
I was around long before the 80's and I've seen more than my fair share of bad movies from that decade, but dear God this is awful. Thanks RiffTrax for making it intenitally funny!
@@StanSwan No wait, Jim said his MOTHER was Korean, not his dad. Not that it really matters, this movie still blows. It tries to mix an 80's teen romance drama, with guys that play in a crappy band, and don't wear shirts, and adding in ninjas and drugs, and then, tries to combine them, only fail massively, and make one of the most confusingly stupid movies ever made, but at least RiffTrax make it watchable.
9:36 - P.S. Friends by Dragon Sound is the song that plays during the credits when you beat Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Is your mind blown? If it is, then you're welcome!
Whenever the extended scenes of the group of guys just palling around or eating or sticking up for each other, YK Kim is always the most enthusiastic - cheering the loudest, asking about giving money for Jim's suit, stuffing food into the other guys' mouths... I sincerely believe these moments are largely improvised and YK Kim is a seriously lonely guy who directed and acted in these scenes so he could imagine what it would be like to have a group of ride or die best friends that always do everything together. He was only 30 when this movie was made (even though he looks like he is in his mid forties) and he probably dreamed of having the classic American college experience but never got to. It makes me a little sad for him, especially since you can clearly see that the other guys just aren't into it on the same level he is.
@55:51 "Drinking Beer, From a plastic cup. Talking to a guy with a beard. Still talking to a guy with a beard, And here's another guy with a beard. TOUGH GUY!"
"Casually milling around, obeying traffic laws, affectionately messing around with TOUGH GUYS!!" "I can't operate a motor vehicle... TOUGH GUYS!!!" "I'm guessing this song's just a jingle for a new type of cleanser?" "Giving women gentle demure kisses, TOUGH GUYS!!!"

57:20 You can hear them laughing in the background, that alone cracks me up. I assume it's a reaction to the guy appearing in just his boxers. This whole scene is just hilarious! 1:09:37 For the, "I found my father, oh my god!" scene
This film features the legendary band *Dragonsound* in its prime. Arguably one of the best blues-based progressive pop-metal new wave funk rock bands to emerge from the vibrant mid-1987 Orlando music scene, the band is shown here at its early creative peak, carried by the virtuoso guitar pyrotechnics of Y.K. Kim, in a period of critical and commercial success that lasted for several months and whose impact was felt across western central Florida. The band's coke-fueled run of bravura performances at Park Avenue, central Florida's hottest night club, introduced Orlandans to a new dimension in rock and roll and have since become the stuff of legend for the tens of hardcore D-Sound fans (known as "Dragonheads") who allegedly exist.
This movie is honestly the real life version of something like Double Dragon, Final Fight, Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckle, or Crime Busters/Crime Busters 2, but not nearly as well done as those video games.
i dont get good music stuck in my head... i don't get popular music stuck in my head... i get “Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty, we’ll stay together through thick or thin; friends forever, we’ll be together, we’re up top because we play to win” ... i don't even have friends....
“Oates really struggled before he found Hall.” 😂😂
For a band preaching non-violence they have an incredibly high body count!
One of my biggest pet peeves is people on TV and in movies horribly pretending to play instruments. Thank God this movie contains none of that.
This is one of those movies that read like a 10 yr old wrote the script: "There are these ninjas, and they're bad guys. They're so bad they ride bikes. And then there's the good guys. They do martial arts, and they are friends and go to school together. And they have a band and play the guitar! But then the bad guys don't like them and don't like their music and don't like it that they're so much better at martial arts than the bad guys are. So then they fight, and they use swords, and one of the good guys almost gets killed! But the good guys win, they kill everyone and they all return to school the next day. The end."
Accurate
Need to put spoiler alert first :-D
Actually, a ten year old did write something similar, but even that kid thought "nah, this is just too absurd" and he tossed the script.
I couldn't write anything better.
Granted, the orphan speech is up there with "I'm mad as hell...", "Tears in Rain" and the end of Schindler's List, but the rest of that stuff....
In fairness to Dragon Sound, every time they're apart, one of them gets beaten up, kidnapped or murdered

The most amazing thing about the "Jim reveals the truth about his father" scene is that the actor playing Jim is actually crying.
If the 80s had a dream about the 80s it would play out a lot like Miami Connection.

I mean to be fair, most of those were directly inspired by the movie Streets of Fire. Which I recommend btw.
Can we at lest say that bgm of this movie is pretty damn awesome...it's way better than it should be.
Dare I say it: Miami Connection is the funniest of all Rifftrax
Maybe the Miami connection is that this & guy from Harlem both take place in Miami, & are both free on RUclips, & are the 2 best free riffs on RUclips
i dont get good music stuck in my head... i don't get popular music stuck in my head... i get
“Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty, we’ll stay together through thick or thin; friends forever, we’ll be together, we’re up top because we play to win”
... i don't even have friends....
"Friends through eternity/sharing the utilities/picking pubic hairs out the soap!" 😂
I unironically love the music in this movie
