"Miami Connection" is the sort of movie you can't wait to see the Rifftrax guys get ahold of. It's got it all: nonsensical plot, awful acting, confusing fight scenes, nowhere near on-beat dance numbers. But here's where it's got the edge: it's fun. A lot of fun, actually. Pretty much nothing going here makes any sense, the editing is rough, and the martial arts herein go from super fast to slo-mo, giving things a hallucinatory buzz. There are two big songs in the film - the lyrics to both are asinine - but hell if the music isn't a toe-tapper.
But you can't help but get behind characters who champion friendship, loyalty and teamwork. There's just something wholesome beneath the severed limbs, blood and harsh language. And I do love the postscript urging peace through nonviolence. That's beautiful.
Put simply, this is a blast.
8/10
Also, it's got motorcycle ninjas. Because who needs stealth?
