Miami Connection

Yes this is a 1987 film.  Why I am seeing it at a festival?  Because it was billed as "the BEST unseen movie in HISTORY!"  An American-Asian martial arts film from their heyday, this low-budget flick faded into obscurity until it was rescued by the Alamo Drafthouse.  The screening today featured a reunion of the entire Dragon Sound ensemble, the band around which the centers.  (I sat along side them, next to Vincent Hirsch and his wife.)

I'm not sure if this would appeal to many people.  The dialog is awful, the facial hair is straight outta the '80s and the plot is served with queso on top.  My sister-in-law would love it.

1987, 120 minutes, directed by Woo-sang Park and Y. K. Kim
