Thanks for sharing Miami Connection. Been working at a Deli for like 8 months and this guy with a high pitched voice yells back to my coworker "see ya"; I thought something about the sound of him was familiar. It hit me after thinking about it, he sounds like Oh My God guy from Miami Connection. Ask the lady who has been serving him for years what his name is. Look up the cast of Miami Connection, same first name as the customer, wut. Text lady I work with at 10 oclock at night, send her link of Oh My God scene. 90 percent sure its him. She calls him Hollywood next time she sees him, he says what, how did you know. She credits me, and gives me his business card. I call one day and he gives me a signed printout poster and talks with me about Miami Connection for like an hr, cool guy. Lots of insight and laughs.Gives me a downloaded bluray of it a month later signed to my biggest fan, accidentally became his biggest fan, sweet. He comes around often, but never would have known who he was without Red Letter Media.

Along with Jack, he's usually the one who understands what's going on in these terrible movies the most, but "Miami Connection" was too inexplicable for "the Wizard." He's reacting like he just walked in on Gregor Samsa turning into the giant insect.

That poster can't be from the original release. It's too self aware, and a great job by the distributors. Does anyone know if there was a poster for the theatrical release? Or if it showed up for rent? I think the answer to the 2nd question, is no because a copy would have surfaced by now. I wonder who the ebay seller was? A theatre owner, a collector, part of the o.g. crew? So many questions. Any answers out there? Cheers from Canada

[@ilshyf]

Though I know Miami Connection is just a (un?)forgettable B-movie flick, as I'm Korean, I can see what was going on in the Asian guy's (who's co-directed and wrote this shlock) mind, because he's Korean, too: insane rivalry about practically anything about Japan (that's why movie's main villain is ninja, and one of the theme song is called "Against the Ninja"); devotion to parents (that explains why the Black guy cries and acts hysterically about the parents' letter); desperate attempts to be recognized as KOREAN worldwide, whether the foreign people cares or not... Those are the (quite nationalistic, I admit) frequent motifs that you could find in Korean fictional works or any of the cultural artifacts. They're today less frequently met in there (because the nationalism is not "in" anymore, particularly between the younger people), but when I was little (80's and 90's), those things were quite rampant - almost inescapable. I think this Taekwondo master is a product of its time. Well, at least, he tried and I completely respect that. (especially when I found out he practically was bankrupted due to the movie's failure) But it's also true that he's obviously a horrible translator of Korean cultures into American cinema; and budgetary problem, practically know nothing about how to make a movie, and he didn't have much charms neither as Bruce Lee nor as Jackie Chan - and, last but not least, just blindly following his own country's fad (nationalism) in a foreign country whose people didn't know anything about it.

[@Matt-iy4tn]

Interesting reply! I like how glaringly obvious it is that the black guy is not half Korean.

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

It's kinda sad that the whole thing is literally lost in translation. However, it doesn't help that he found the WORST actors.

[@kohp]

[@xtzyshuadog]

*That is fascinating to hear. If you still are here, can you tell me if you saw the film Burning and what you thought of it?*

[@ilshyf]

@@xtzyshuadog Thanks for the comment! Well, first of all, Miami Connection and Burning are entirely different beasts, so it's a little tricky to answer here. But anyway. The latter was a critical darling and I think it DOES deserve. The director, Changdong LEE, is one of the most critically acclaimed director in South Korean movie history and he is rightly so. What I found in Burning is that this movie follows much closely and intelligently international arthouse's trend - being blunt, realistic AND fantastic at the same time. I find my impression confirmed specially when I had found the movie is based on Barn Burning, a short story of Haruki Murakami in 1983 which draws its inspiration from 1938 William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" - hence Lee's film title clearly is referenced to. All the characteristics which are miles away from Miami Connection apparently... Miami Connection is to me an "orphen" (pun intended) just like the black guy in the movie - the movie was made in English and in America with so many ideas which however are completely out of place there. I tell ya, while Changdong Lee is one of the best translator of Korean cultures into an international film language, J.K. Kim of Miami Connection is NOT.

Making my way through Best of The Worst. Almost at the beginning now. So great to finally see the gang's take on Miami Connection

Fun times. I'm trying to stab my brain with an icepick so I'll forget them and go through for the first time again.
