Episode 26: Miami Connection

 

Somewhere in Miami there’s a world of Taekwondo, cocaine, and ninja motorcycle gangs. In the lost 1987 “gem” Miami Connection director, actor, and grandmaster Y.K. Kim teaches the audience the pain and power that consumes your being when your body is one of the most dangerous weapons in the world. Dragon Sound, a rock band made up of only the goodest boys is the talk of the town. Unfortunately, the hundreds of gangs that make up the seedy underbelly of Miami/Orlando/Wherever want to take them down. There’s bound to be a fight or two, (as to if they are well shot…we here at Nightcaps leave that to you) some passionate romance, lost fathers, and a few engrossing training montages on this adventure. If you think yourself ready to “Go Against the Ninja” then pick up a katana and a slice of pizza…prepare yourself this movie is like no other!
