About this episode

Brad and Paul explore the chaotic charm of the cult classic Miami Connection.

Brad and Paul continue the Disasters in the Making bad-movie Mount Rushmore with the glorious cult chaos of Miami Connection. It has everything a certain kind of ’80s action disaster needs: motorcycle ninjas, drug dealers, martial arts, rock-band sincerity, questionable acting, and the unstoppable power of friendship. The guys dig into the strange magic of Y.K. Kim’s dream project, the Dragon Sound phenomenon, the Orlando-that-thinks-it’s-Miami geography, and the baffling creative choices that somehow make the movie more lovable instead of less. It is part karate movie, part rock musical, part after-school special, and all beautiful cinematic wreckage.
