Miami Connection - Good Bad or Bad Bad #60 

My name is Lloyd Sharpe I was the guy who sang played and wrote Escape from Miami - Tough Guys and Tae Kwando family The movie was supposed to be called Escape From Miami but for some reason they changed it after we'd already wrote and recorded the songs. The lyric Bikers by day ninjas by night was written by my brother in law William Young { RIP} who also played the club owner who introduced Dragon Sound and had the fight scene with the old band leader. I was playing the riff for Escape from Miami and we had no lyrics yet and Bill { William Young } said bikers by day ninjas by night and i thought it was hilarious and we just rolled with it from there. They wanted a band name so we used my first name and the keyboards player first name so it was the Lloyds Richards band. Anyway there's a little history lesson about how the music was made. I have no idea how or where Dragon Sound recorded their music i never even met them.

"We will stop this evil war." I can't believe Dragon Sound accomplished world peace in 1987.

"A friend!?!" is the notification tone on my phone.

HOLY SHITTTT. I grew up in Kissimmee and took tae kwon do classes at the YK Kim branch there. Jeff (William Ergle) was my instructor. I had no idea this even existed.

Miami Connection would make a perfect video game. Imagine an open world rhythm/fighting game featuring our favorite taekwondo band.

"I thought we were all orp-hans." God love you Y.K.

I live for hearing Bryan call things "Delightful".. it just makes me so happy

Jim died in the original ending but after screening reviews, people said they didn't like the end, so they hurriedly shot the ending where he survives. Problem was, Hall and Oates was busy doing something else, which he's why he's not at the hospital. The girl and H&O went on to get married after meeting making this film.

I've seen a ton of Miami Connection reviews before but yours is the first that actually addresses the legendary quote "Oh, ninjas."

Finally! You guys made the Michael Phelps connection with that tall guy in the movie! Rifftrax never even made jokes about that! Oates from Hall & Oates, yes! But, come on, Michael Phelps was an eight-time gold medalist in one Summer Olympics! They couldn't make a joke about that?!? 😂😂😂

Dammit... I just let my dog out and caught myself singing "Against the ninjaaaaaaa". Why is bad movie music catchy?

Dragon Sound is still playing! I saw them in concert last month at the AAA Arena. They still bring it.

VICE did an excellent episode on the life of the director (Y.K. Kim). Very interesting, and yes he does have a cult following in the martial arts world. Y.K Kim is a very positive dude.

Floridian here. You are absolutely correct about swamps and alligators

37:38 I cannot get over the look he's giving YK Kim while he just _gently puts his mouth on his fist_

This movie isn't good bad. This movie isn't bad bad. This movie is GOOD GOOD. LOVE this film.

The only thing better and more 80s than this movie would be a cartoon series based on this movie.

Miami Connection is one of my favorite So Bad It's Good movies.

"Are they fighting with a hat rack or something?" That made me laugh out loud.

I have a new Recommendation for you guys, its called The Last Vampire on Earth. You guys must experience this film so we can all love your reactions and laugh at the film together!!

As a native Floridian it literally is an alligator swamp everywhere

Oh BOY! Back to some good old fashion GoodBadorBadBad!!

As a resident of Florida, your map is, without much exaggeration, perfectly accurate. There are like 4 or 5 pockets of population, a thin line along the coast, and the rest is swamps and pine forest.

Here's one I know RLM hasn't done that is funny as fuck, King of the Kickboxers with Billy Banks, laughed my ass off and kinda enjoyed it at the same time.

Please don’t stop guys, the content has only gotten better. Really hope this channel blows up to 100,000 subs fast cause you guys really deserve it. Btw sanctum is bad review it ;)

Yes with that Jem and The Holograms reference!

This movie was one of Rifftrax's best Live shows. I'm happy to settle into this video. It's a classic.

Florida is a lawless swampland CONFIRMED

The sincerity is like 90% of why I love this movie. It's so pure and sweet with such good intentions and there's nothing cynical about it. I can't name a more wholesome ninja-drug-dealing-biker-gang-tae-kwon-do-rock-band movie out there. Just the best.

Dude, just checked youtube to see if anything good was out and see this as uploaded 35 seconds ago. The dream. Dont get me wrong I am subbed to tone of people and they make okay content but really wanted something better than good to watch. Great timing!

so i finally saw this movie the other day, and nobody mentions how genuinely good the sound track is. i put it on as background noise for work, so most of the time i didn't SEE what was happening, but the sound track (other than the dragon sound songs, etc) is AMAZING 80s synth. Nobody ever says that.

I've been telling you, guys Watch Ryan's Babe. That movie was made for this Channel

Against the Miami Ninja Deviation.

Maybe the ninjas have that bike from Captain America with the silent button. They just never use it.

Floridian here. It's true, it's an alligator filled swamp everywhere that's not paved. We have alligators in our retention ponds. City parks have to put up signs to warn people not to go into the lakes because of gators.

IVE DONE MY WAITING . 12 DAYS OF IT

Miami Connection and Hard Ticket to Hawaii, just Deadly Prey to go and you'll have completely the best episode of Best of the Worst.

Guys, I finally know why Hall and Oathes is not in the final hospital scene. The thing is : YK Kim had to re-shoot some scenes of the movie after it's initial release, thus changing a little bit the plot. And the alternative ending in which Jim dies WAS THE ORIGINAL ENDING!!! (that also may explain why there are two actors playing the white ninja role)

My review is one of the top on imdb, I absolutely love this movie. It's gloriously confusing and the music from Dragon Sound cannot be beat.

According to RU-vid's auto-generated subtitles, Y.K. Kim is also known as 'Why Kick Him?'

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW SET UP AND 60TH EPISODE BOYS! NOW REVIEW DRACULA 3000!!!

I was so delighted at the Jem references as a big fan of jem and the holograms

"I'm Chris Hansen."

I forgot what this movie was called and was looking for it again it so wholesome thank you for finding it for me again.

Who else thinks "Mono Brow" looks like a poor-man's Oscar Isaac, aka: Poe Dameron?

A G A I N S T T H E N I N J A

As a person from Florida, I can confirm 98% of the state is Alligator infested swamps with little bits of civilization here and there. Gators show up at schools, pools, backyards, kitchens (if you have those shitty screen doors in those old homes), you can see them lounging in the side of the roads. Our animal control guys look genuinely annoyed every time they have to pick up a gator, they're everywhere. We also have like, a themepark dedicated to gators, called Gatorland. So yeah, it's infested with gators.

Bryan is so hot. Husband material tbh. Thanks for another great episode, btw.

everything dragonsound makes sounds like the intro to an 80s cartoon that based on selling action figures

vice made a documentary and yes ,the actors are his students atleast the dragon sound crew, also in some cultures the guys feed eachother like that ,i think its weird

I love how up until the 90s every action film was all about the body counts and zero importance was given to the fact that someone just got fucking killed. As in, these characters had closure right away and had zero problems sleeping at night. I used to suspend my disbelief but today I look at a film like this one and all I can think is "a rookie officer is going to have spend several long nights doing a shit-ton of paperwork let alone coming to terms with the fact that ninjas exist."

I love the Friends for Eternity song. It's one of the few rock songs where I can actually hear most of the lyrics. I mean sure, Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song sounds awesome, but I can't understand a damn thing their singing about. So I'll give props to the soundtrack of this movie.

The boys are back! Oh my GAHD! Great video as always, love hearing you talk. And as much as it pains me to offer this to you, I think you guys have unfinished business with Tyler Perry. Check out his latest film Tyler Perry's Acrimony. It is all kinds of nuts.

So glad you’re back! I missed you guys.

Finally! Have a great day everyone strolling trough the comments! 👋

FATAL DEVIATION FATAL DEVIATION

I'm sure someone else has pointed it out by now, but being an alumni of UCF, the topless ladies were most likely from Daytona during "bike week," which isn't far from central Florida where UCF is located. LOVE you guys! Love the new studio. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your videos every week. : )

45:30 - she is snapping but the guy sitting in the car is tapping his leg to the "music" too

The bad guy @ 48:37 is the most legitimately Floridian thing in this movie.

32:57 that Batman editing is on POINT!

I wrote this on another reply board but it still applies.... "I would LOVE to see a Battle of the Bands" between Dragon Sound and Zack Attack 😁"

Go Cards! I love y’all. Y’all are funny, sincere, and work with each other well. I also like y’all’s dedication to Missouri. Thank y’all for everything. Y’all bring me joy at the end of my day

The fireball looked like Dhalsim's Yoga Fire personally

6:00 "The Miami Confection". You totes whiffed on it! That makes it: Me-1, BGBB-1,903. Catchin' up on you loosers.

Congrats guys , finally ! Need to see that table though when its done ! Ty for the laughs

I've been rewatching these but with playback speed 1.25 or 1.5. Brian's rants get even better.

I can't wait until you do twisted pair!!

Dragon sound can not be stopped.

Scarface + Saved By the Bell + Ninjas = Miami Connection

Congrats on the new space!!

this is one of the best movies of all time

Keep it up guys! Loving the new studio!!

the main ninja dude's probably a Kamen Rider fan that's why he's got a scarf on while riding his motor bike.

Miami Connection is Good Good

One of my pet hates is when people clap to music in concerts or whatever on the 1 and 3 and not the 2 and 4 😣😣 I notice old people especially do this lol

Oh boy this movie is absolutely amazing. I hope you guys do The Photom Effect, Lady Terminator and,of course, Twisted Pair.

Kyle needs to set Bryan down. Tie him to a chair, and make him watch stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist.

aaaaannnnddddd......they are back.the legends,heroes of gb or bb,the myths...

I find it funny that the producers of the film probably couldn't have afforded Stan Bush to sing the songs. ;)

Jack the Drummer is Knockoff Oscar Isaacs

I wish I can talk to someone about your episodes as you guys upload, but only me like this type of things in my family. Sad.

Somewhere a young person is watching this film with their mates laughing along and then one suddenly turns around to their Mum with a shocked look upon their face and says "Mum is that....you?" 48:11

If you want to know more about Florida and change your life... Dancin' It's On directed by David Winters of Space Mutiny Fame

man took a while but come ON!!! MIAMI Connection!!!

FRIENDS FOREVER get HIGH together!!!!!

This film and Lone Wolf McQuaid make a great double feature. 80's madness. Great review as always guys.

It must have been so weird for this movie to get popularity like 25 years later after it was completely ignored

Man another GBorBB episode Today is going to be good guys also MORTAL KOMBAT ANNIHILATION also nice studio set up 👍🏼

Nice to see you guys again

I don’t think they could call it “escape from Miami” because it would be too much like ‘escape from New York’ and ‘escape from LA’

I was telling my dad about Miami Connection and without even telling him the plot, just from hearing the name he goes "that sounds like a drug movie" I mean he's not wrong, but its oh SO much more

The vid was awesome- buuuuuut I'm always looking for cute little games I can play to either decompress before I crash, or to wake my brain up in the morning before I get up. I mean, I like my Fallout, Star Citizen and so on... but I looked up the trailer vid for Luna and the Moonling and it looks so pretty, and something that would help me wake my brain up in the morning. I don't do coffee- this is the sort of thing I use to jump start myself and feel more awake in the morning... 10 bucks on Steam, I'm definitely checking it out!

This review was awesome. Love this film. Couldn’t remember how bizarre Miami connection was until now.

The Jim scene reminds me of Neil Breene. JIM HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

Oh dear Lord! I don't think Y. K. Kim knows how genetics work...them Korean genes must be recessive traits.😂😂😂

"Citizen Kane is boring." THANK YOU!!!!!

OH MY GOD! Against the Ninja all night long. Thanks Guys^^

Nice, thanks!

Are you guys familiar with Rifftrax? A) Their riff of this movie is insanely fun and B) I think you two could do an iRiff and I would buy the Hell out of it. Edit: It totally was Jeff in the end, at least according to imdb.

You know you're in for a good time when you take a look at the cover.
