Miami Connection (1987)

How bad is it? Its theatrical run was two weeks, only in Florida.
Should you see it? Yes. It's become an underground hit.

A 1980's synth-pop band made up of tae kwon do masters fights coke-dealing bikers who just happen to be ninjas. This has terrible acting and direction, editing that cuts off words or just pauses for long periods, irritating music, and one role played by two different men hoping you won't notice (this, at least, is not as obvious as in Plan 9 From Outer Space). The fight choreography isn't bad, though people with swords stand in place, waiting to get kicked. One 35mm print survives and has been put on NetFlix.
