Missed some points because the ninjas didn't get a diss track of their own. I should love this movie, I mean it's basically just tae kwon do Josie and the Pussycats vs. the Cocaine Ninja Army, but the boring shit just gets dragged on for way too long.

Bikers by day, shittyninjas at night and sometimes ninjas by day, bikers by night; Y.K. Kim failing jumps over his car; friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty; taekwondo is our way of life; and that DAMN band ruining everything. What a movie.

My all time favorite B-movie. It's got everything you ever will need in a shitty action flick: martial arts, cheesy ass poprock songs about ninjas and friendship, ninjas on motorcycles, awkward monologues - ooooof, you just really have to watch this. Just do it. FRIENDS FOR ETERNITY LOYALTY HONESTY

One of those "so bad it's good" movies that transcends its utter lack of quality by riding that lack of quality into a weird, negaverse version of quality. Nothing makes sense, nothing works right, but the movie itself is overwhelmingly entertaining.

Although clearly a labour of love from writer, producer and star Y.K. Kim, this cheap action film is largely a tedious affair, providing little in the way of goofy entertainment despite an abundance of fight scenes, cheesy music and horrible acting. The climactic slaughter of dozens of ninja goons is immediately followed by an epilogue about avoiding violence, which is by far the funniest thing Miami Connection has to offer.

Y.K. Kim's beautiful 80's ballad of Taekwondo powered friendship is top tier so-bad-it's-good fun. Get down with the Central Florida music sensation, "Dragon Sound", and join up in their battle "Against the Ninjas", in what should be considered a piece of cinematic history. Only through the power of this film can we achieve world peace.

The astonishing form of this film is rewarding to study (play certain scenes again, maybe in slow motion). There are some really amazing moments where a surprise cut will only serve to confuse everything that's going on, which is already confusing. I found this quite intense emotionally after the hash brownie kicked in near the end.

Just look at that poster! This is so American 1980s at their utmost silliness it hurts to think about it. The occasional partial female nudity barely conceals the fact that all the guys look gay as fuck. Fights abound. Korean Y.K. Kim who produced, made and starred, is a decent Taekwondo showman but no Hwang Jang-lee, and his fight choreography is awkward. This absolutely bombed upon release, but became a cult classic in retrospect thanks to its huge nostalgic and camp value. WTF am I watching?

Birdemic's older, more likable uncle. Another bizarre soul mortgaged their future to make an action movie with a blatant moral only to end up with complete trash. A much higher ranking than it deserves for some so-bad-its-good moments.

In the pantheon of bad movies, this one ranks high. Not quite on the level of Manos or The Room, but what makes this one almost in that elevated plane is the soundtrack, particularly the two songs, "Friends" and "Against the Ninja." The fight scene in the end between the two members of Dragon Sound and the ninjas is also unforgettable. The University of Central Florida should be proud.

Objectively a piece of crap. However if you're a connoisseur of 80s trash, this one has every trope, every writing mistake, every horrible actor you'd hope for. It's just like a current parody of 80s film, only it's not.

Could very well be the funniest movie I have ever seen. Unlike Manos Hands of Fate, here the ineptitude in the craftmanship is bypassed by the sheer enthusiasm and youthful confidence that this film exudes. A Tae Kwondo rockband, ninja bikers and a main character who simply CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH and you have the recipe for a really funny movie. The ending made me and my friends ROAR with laughter, and I urge you to check out this unforgettable cult classic, thankfully restored.

It should be an ambassador of good bad movies. You have to be heartless not to be touched by the sincerity, kindness and naivety that birthed this masterpiece. Yes, I said it - unforgetable MASTERPIECE, and I'm not being cynical or ironic. Everything that's best about 80's comes together in a magical way. The story of how this film was made, and how it was rediscovered recently makes me believe that after all there is hope for humanity. This film is a dream come true. Rating it makes no sense.

I choose to believe this movie is an artifact brought over from another universe where things are 50% more stupid and entertaining than in ours. The music, the dubbing, the shirtlessness, the heel-turn from 'A-team episode level shenanigans' to 'Apocalypse Now descent into gory madness' at the end... This was so damn entertaining, helped by a bright-eyed sense of cameraderie we rarely see these days. Those catchy Dragon Sound tracks will be carried with me forever. For. Ever.

Why are there ninjas in Miami? Oh right, it's the 80's...there were ninjas in every city. How do you rate something like this? I'll just leave it as "it was the 80's" Now sing with me, "Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty, we'll stay together through thick or thiiiiiiiin. Friends forever we'll be to-ge-ther, we're on top 'cause we play to wiiiiiiiiin!" Repeat until your head explodes.

Since it tries so hard to be a good movie, I'll review it as one: Despite a lack of subtlety and cohesion with the plot, the soundtrack suits the overall tone. The characters are driven and develop in a unique...ok I can't do it. It's so bad! The acting, the story, the dialogue, all horrible. But it makes you laugh so hard and you can't take your eyes away! No matter how much I enjoyed it though, I wouldn't be able to respect myself if I gave it anything higher than a 50. So bad! So good!

Such an earnest and heartfelt movie it transcends the horrendous acting and plotting and production value and becomes something you root for. It's not very good but it just inspires something in you. It's a lot of fun. It's what I wished Buckaroo Banzai was. Ridiculous, funny, and utterly serious. A total vanity project, awkward, bizarre and messy. Pure fucking cinema.

This movie has ninjas fighting an 80s band that writes songs about fighting Ninjas. Why aren't you watching this movie right now?

This movie is hilarious and shittastic. Once you watch a band called Dragon Sound battle motorcycle riding ninjas you're life will never be the same. Or something like that. I love this movie.

For better or worse, I don't think any other movie exists with this much... sincerity.

Starts out great but doesn't really hold up to the end. That said, I've been playing the soundtrack on repeat and reminiscing the best scenes. I've got a feeling that this will improve on repeated viewings as there are so many outrageous details to enjoy.

Ah, this movie. An international rock band of taekwondo orphans becomes the house band at a night club and is terrorized by Dexy's Midnight Cocaine Runners at the behest of the leader of the Miami Ninjas because of it. It suffers from wildly inconsistent editing, awkward and predictable plotting, and badly improvised dialogue, but the earnestness of the whole thing makes it oddly endearing when it's not just ridiculously funny. That ending message is just the icing on this wonderful cake.

My new go-to 'so bad it's good' movie. Taekwondosploitation / rock-and-roll / drug war / ninja goodness. Surprisingly good music and really fun action scenes make this B-movie click; despite the bad acting and loose scripting I get a strange sense of brotherhood from the main cast. The middle section is weak at times but the last 15 minutes are AMAZING

On a whole other level of bad. It was a dozen different movies gelled together in a sticky gooey mess. Ninjas, rock stars, martial art masters, homo sexuals. The ending screen took an already over the top experience over that other top that we all thought was just out of reach. THEY WERE 100% SERIOUS.

Pulls from all the worst cliches of the 1980's and pieces them all together like a dementia patient's scrap book to an unrequited love. The parallels between Tommy Wiseau and Y.K. Kim are so staggering it can't be coincidental. The foreshadowing music numbers are some strange concoction that acts as an adhesive to the film's fragmenting plot. By the end it becomes 'Zatoichi Meets Vietnam' and nobody knows what in the hell is going on. Highly Recommend for a Rifftrax.

Transcendently dopey. You WILL memorize every Dragon Sound song (mainly because of the simple rhymes).

This is absolutely, utterly, euphorically batshit. It is impossible for a junk-action movie fan of a certain age not to have a blast with this thing, which comes off like a "NAKED GUN meets Ed Wood"-style bastardization/send-up of mid-80's action excess. It's just so ridiculously sincere, though! Undeniably one of the worst movies I've seen in some time, but also one of the most fun, so there you go.

Terrible terrible acting meets the most hilariously enthusiastic half-homosexual group of white guys that fight for peace by kicking the shit out of everybody. I don't know, I find it seriously endearing! The music isn't bad for its 80s sound and its focus on friendship and peace is kind of radical. There's a genuine viewable friendship between all the characters, and the kung fu really isn't bad either. Camp included, a very watchable and enjoyable film
