Matchbox Cineclub Miami Connection

Matchbox Cineclub's monthly residency continues with this rare screening of YK Kim's lost masterwork of ninjas, rock and roll and friendship above all - not on DVD, Netflix or VOD. Miami Connection was made in 1987, opened in a handful of theatres and vanished without trace until it was rediscovered via a blind eBay bid in 2009. Releasing they had a lost classic on their hands, it Drafthouse films re-released it in the US to huge acclaim.

Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song Against The Ninja, Mark (Tae Kwon Do master/inspirational speaker YK Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly. It’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine”...and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!

Directed by 9th degree black belt philosopher/author/inspirational speaker Grandmaster YK Kim, the film tells the story of fearless synth rock band Dragon Sound as they embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice in the streets of Orlando.
