Miami Connection (1987)

IMDb plot summary: A martial arts rock band goes up against a band of motorcycle ninjas who have tightened their grip on Florida's narcotics trade.

Directed by Woo-sang Park and Y.K. Kim. Stars Y.K. Kim, Vincent Hirsch, and Joseph Diamand.

Miami Connection is a martial arts film about a rock band who are all super into Taekwondo, and they fight a bunch of criminals and ninjas in Miami. This film feels tailor-made for an MST3K feature. It's bananas. There's so much going on, and none of it makes sense together. That's not to say it's not entertaining -- I particularly enjoyed the extended scenes of metal songs singing about peace, love, and Taekwondo. But truly the story is extremely confusing and makes very little sense. A silly, fluffy romp that had some enjoyable moments but overall will not sit with me for long.
