In this episode of the Cult Film Club Pax, Jaime and Shawn take a metaphorical road trip both back in time and down to central Florida to see the almost lost cult classic, Miami Connection. We rock out with the heroic taekwondo band Dragon Sound, go into berserker rages while fighting drug dealing ninjas, and we all look for our lost fathers, because we’re all like, orphans and junk. Is this not making sense? Well, it’ll make a whole lot more after we talk about the pure insanity that is Miami Connection. So grow out your best looking John Oates mustache, grab someone’s nose with your toes, and join the fight Against The Ninja!
We attempt a recast, talk about the amazing soundtrack, and just bathe in the majesty that is Miami Connection.

Another one I haven’t heard of that I’ll have to watch before the show. Who did that poster art, the woman that botched the Jesus painting restoration? (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/botched-ecce-homo-painting)
Ha! Yeah, the art on that poster does an awesome job of matching the wonky loveable insanity of the film, and it looks even better when it’s converted into cardart for action figures!

I need this
That looks like a telepod accident involving the sax guy from Lost Boys and Ron Jeremey
Yes. Otherwise known as John Oates of Hall & Oates fame… 😉
I got to see this film and I loved it….where else are you going to have UCF student rockers taking on motorcycle riding drug dealing ninjas…I live in Central Florida so it’s like I’m right near the locations where they shot the film…like you can see some of the bikes going on County Road 415 and of course, University of Central Florida. Also loved Kwon Young Moon’s fight choreography…classic kung fu film actor turned action director…nice job using TKD 🙂
Yeah, it brought back some memories for me too, mostly in that that school is my sister’s alma mater!
