Woop, got a bit caught up and forgot to post here last week, I'll try to remedy that soon. :x
Anyway, the other day I had the delight of watching a really bad (and I mean so bad it's good) B-movie from 1987, which is praised as a cult classic: Miami Connection. Before I continue with (probably) spoilers (that you won't care about if you watch it because it's not like the plot matters), here is a taster of what you can find in the film.
So... yeah, it's about a band of friends that know taekwondoe and call themselves Dragon Sound... it gets mentioned that they are orphans half way through the film in a completely out of place scene... it's also about motorcycle ninjas and cocaine dealing gangs. The main plotline follows the band of friends, one of them has a girlfriend whose brother called Jeff is in a gang. Jeff doesn't like Dragon Sound, coincidentally he gets paid to go and kill Dragon Sound by another band who got replaced at the nightclub by them, he is all too happy to oblige.
Anyway, there's a fight scene around every corner where Dragon Sound end up murdering around 25 people each time, but still managing to come out completely innocent and looking like the good guys. Some quite gory scenes in there too.
Towards the end, Dragon Sound go after Jeff to put an end to his gang. They end up killing Jeff. His sister doesn't seem bothered at all about that. Jeff was in league with the motorcycle ninjas though, and the motorcycle ninjas want revenge.
So after Dragon Sound kills all the motorcycle ninjas with some extremely graphic deaths, they are still hailed as the good guys. There is like 50 other major plot points I have forgotten to mention because the writer (who also starred in the film as one of the main characters) decided to add in a new element every five minutes.
Then, as the credits roll, the moral of the story is shown:
"Only through elimination of violence can we achieve world peace"
I still can't wrap my head around this film, it is a complete and utter clusterf**k filled with horribly bad acting, some catchy (and really stupid) songs, a ton of gore and some really stupid fight scene choreography.
