Back in August, our fearless leader Jonathan and Geekscape staffer Scott Alminiana had an awesome conversation about a little film called Miami Connection: an independent martial arts film that was produced in 1987, but never saw the light of day until earlier this year.
Response for the film has been overwhelmingly positive. Miami Connection‘s had a small theatrical run across the United States, and now we’re approaching a physical (and of course, digital) release. Miami Connection will be viewable by all on December 11. You’ll have a multitude of VOD options, as well as DVD, Blu-Ray, and VHS. Yes, it’s nearly 2013 and a movie is about to release on VHS!
What year is it!?
The VHS edition will be a limited run of 400 copies, and is likely meant as a collector’s item more than a means to actually watch the film (after all, who has a VCR these days?). In any case, I can’t wait to see this movie!
The DVD/Blu-Ray editions will also include a multitude of special features:
● Friends For Eternity: The Making of Miami Connection
● Audio Commentary with Star/Writer/Producer Y.K. Kim and Writer/Star Joseph Diamand
● Over 20 Minutes of Deleted Scenes
● The 25th Anniversary Dragon Sound Reunion Concert From Fantastic Fest 2012
● Theatrical Trailer created by Hobo with a Shotgun director Jason Eisener
● Who Is Y.K. Kim? Promo Video
● The New American Dream Promo Video
● Theatrical Trailers

The year is 1987. 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 Y.K. 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!!!
