My dad is in this movie he was one of the bad guys, his name is Heinz Wellnitz and he is the reason it was also released in Germany, because he was born there and could read and speak German. I was a student of Y.K. Kim and so was my dad, this is how we got involved in the making of the film . I wish he was alive, to see it actually get an audience.

I'm a current student at UCF. If you go to the campus today in 2019, it looks EXACTLY THE SAME. I want those t-shirts..

Though I know this movie is just a (un?)forgettable B-movie flick, as I'm Korean, I can see what was going on in the Asian guy's (who's co-directed and wrote this shlock) mind, because he's Korean, too: insane rivalry about practically anything about Japan (that's why movie's main villain is ninja, and one of the theme song is called "Against the Ninja"); devotion to parents (that explains why the Black guy cries and acts hysterically about the parents' letter); desperate attempts to be recognized as KOREAN worldwide, whether the foreign people cares or not... Those are the (quite nationalistic, I admit) frequent motifs that you could find in Korean fictional works or any of the cultural artifacts. They're today less frequently met in there (because the nationalism is not "in" anymore, particularly between the younger people), but when I was little (80's and 90's), those things were quite rampant - almost inescapable. I think this Taekwondo master is a product of its time. Well, at least, he tried and I completely respect that. (especially when I found out he practically was bankrupted due to the movie's failure) But it's also true that he's obviously a horrible translator of Korean cultures into American cinema; and budgetary problem, practically know nothing about how to make a movie, and he didn't have much charms neither as Bruce Lee nor as Jackie Chan - and, last but not least, just blindly following his own country's fad (nationalism) in a foreign country whose people didn't know anything about it.

I own the rifftrax version of this. It is absolutely magical experience.

Film Brain's cameos are the real MVP

The friends forever song was the ending credits song for Far cry 3 blood dragon. I'm not complaining in fact I was grinning the whole time

Am I the only one who genuinely likes the "friends forever" song?

That opening song to the movie sounded like a My Little Pony fan song and I love it, but ironically.

One of my favorite Rifftrax; I actually watch it unriffed and still have fun. It's delightfully stupid.

“Killed by Dragon Sound? I’d rather be killed by Winger!” I’m dead!!!!!!!

against the ninja is the most inspirational song i have ever heard it makes me want to take on the drug cartel that has paralized my city in the grip of crime BY USING the drugs of the 80s cocaine and quaaludes then after i beat them all i will listen to against the ninja ............................ then i will find my FATHER .

Brad's anger at the end is ten times better acted than it is in 99% of the movies he reviews... gotta love it.

The lyrics to that song sound like something they would sing on "Barney & Friends". :)

14:52 "What do you think about a tour?" "What kind of tour?" A three hour tour.

Your ringtone is the theme from Suspiria? Awesome.

Shit Flick Critic nailed it when he said that song Friends Forever seems more like it belongs on Sesame Street than in an underground club

Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty. We'll stay together, through thick or thin. Friends forever, we'll be together. We're on top 'cause we play to win. You've got a friend in me. When times get tough, you'll see.

*hears the song at the beginning of the review* ...Wait a minute... I know this song! This was in the ending of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon! AWESOME!

They used the "somewhere in Miami" stock footage from Police Academy 5.

The whole outfit with the ninja guy in the only one with the white one is because he's The Grandmaster. When came to the martial arts the uniforms originally only the Sensei wore White. Because white color spectrum is all colors at once . While beginners wore black which is the absence of all colors. But nowadays the master wears black while the student wears white.

23:12 The villain wasn't being spiteful he just didn't want his only remaining henchman have to live with shame of being a liar.

Is it me or this was more homoerotic than "Can't Stop the Music"?

It's like somebody combined Xanadu with Streets of Fire after a marathon-viewing of Bruce Lee movies while high as a kite... Except somehow simultaneously just as awesome and not nearly awesome enough to live up to that description.

WTF? World peace is that easy? Okay, let us all stand up, grab violence, beat it up in a dark ally, chop violence's face in half and finally live in peace. Thanks Miami Connection for showing us to solve our problems in a peaceful manner.

I think that, by now, a Cinema Snob OST is in order.

"You've got a friend in meee" Not saying Randy Newman got that from this, but boy I wish that were accurate.

I attend UCF. That actually was the campus.

About 13:45, I found myself asking "Where's Kung Tai Ted when we need him?" Imagine my chagrin twenty seconds later.

We need more Kung Tai Ted

I got my tix for when Rifftrax does their live riff of this mess in October! ROFL

That must have been a very interesting screenwriting book. Also am I the only one who wants him to review any of the American Ninja movies?

so now we know that if Joe Musashi from Shinobi and the guys from Bad Dudes formed a band, it would sound like this... :D

Now that you mention it, I sure would like to watch a movie where a dam breaks and thousands of sharks are washed into a casino. Snob! Get on that! Don't let your dreams waste away!

"What kind of tour?" "A world tour - but what would make it special, is that we'd play in each other's countries" So... they're immigrants for another dimension, or... extraterrestrial aliens, then? Are their countries simply not part of the world that they'd be touring...? Or is he saying that the world tour would be more special to the band, as opposed to the audience, because... home? That scene confuses me...

Cocaine Motecycle Ninjas vs Karate Rockband: The Movie. “Friends through eternity, sharing the utilities, pickin pubic hairs of the soap.”

I actually trained in one of YK Kim's dojos for a couple years. I never met the guy though, it was run by one of his top pupils.

I...speak...English

I want to make fun of the music in this movie like everyone else does, but "Against the Ninja" slaps. It's giving me some major Pat Benatar vibes

Funny the Coral Gables Hotel is supposedly in Orlando. Last time I checked that hotel is in Miami lol

Weird this one has so little views compared to some other Snob's videos. Freaking hillarious flick!

I want to see a movie where the butter cream gang and a box car children have a gang war now so bad

This movie is unironically one of my favorites

Y.K. Kim makes Jackie Chan look like an English teacher.

Watching Cinema Snob is like going on a mild half asleep drug trip.

I noticed that Film Brain is having some visible facial hair there ey..xD And still a hilarious cameo there. xD

What does it say about the talent of the music industry when Dragon Sound is a much better band than all of today's mainstream music artists?

I have a theory as to why Film Brain is a bastard in Brad's videos: Film Brain is getting back at him for all the insults thrown at him during the McBain review.

I will say, it is super trippy to see one of my old colleges in a movie like this. That really was the fountain at UCF in Orlando. Trippy.

(12:30-12:37) They just reenacted a scene from every harem anime ever

I friggin adore this movie

Rewatched this review because it's great. xD 7:44 - "I. Speak. English" **grins**

iirc it was actually filmed in orlando. ever lived in florida and you can clock that skyline as not miami. hell even a lot of the places straight up say "central florida" on the signs even though miami is way south lmao. I guess in the 80s every part of florida is miami

I wish Brad had joined Obscurus Lupa and Phelous's lip synch to Friends Through Eternity.

This film gets lots of grief, but some of the songs "Against the Ninja' and 'Tough Guy' are pretty good, indeed, I think that if the chick had sang more of the songs the soundtrack album would still be around.

Miami connection 2 the connection has been made

Killed by Dragon Sound?!?! I’d rather be killed by Winger! 😆🤣

It looked so weird when her brother punched her BF, the dude is like a foot and a half taller, Im surprised he didnt get a foot stool from his car, set it up and then punch him.

Hey at 7:52 it's the Chewlie's gum rep!

against the ninja, best song? or bestest song?

this would be a perfect movie night for kung tai ted and 80s dan

I really want to see the snob review Samurai Cop.

I unapologetically love the dragonsound song

The songs are kind of great... I wish I could cruise down the street blasting “Against the Ninja”

This is just chaos. Thank you.

Dude I just saw your The Passion of the Christ review with Doug Walker but the comments were understandably disabled and just wanted to say it was fucking awesome! I hope you really had to talk Doug into it, ha.

Is that how Film Brain actually talks on a cell phone?

Is it wrong that I think Dragon Sound still writes better lyrics than Taylor Swift does?

Make fun of this movie all you like, but the soundtrack legitimately kicks ass.

Please please please do a review on the movie "violent zone"

Am dying for Brad to review 'No Retreat No Surrender'

The music alone is fantastic, even if I haven't seen the film.

7:43 cracks me up every time I watch this episode.

Screenwriter/actor Joseph Diamond was the guy suggesting they go on a “tour”

The easier joke would have been to say Nickelback, but you said Winger. Quality as always, Snob.

best song ever!

Say what you will about this movie, but it does have the most diverse rock band on the planet: a female co-lead singer, Borat as Freddy Mercury on guitar, a Korean guy on guitar, a black guy on keyboards, Jewish Eli Manning on bass, and a generic white guy on drums. It’s like the Dave Matthews Band before there was a Dave Matthews Band.

14:05 That's KUNG FURY to you.

10:27 - "Don't bottle us!" Do you think you'd fit inside a 2-liter?

Huh, Blip died like two weeks after this.

This movie is just...amazing.

This is the greatest movie ever made.

BEST RINGTONE IN EXISTENCE. 26:21

I would rather there be Kung Tai Ted cameos. I want to know why he is in a wheel chair.

This honestly doesn't look that bad. The choreography is pretty good, the effects are decent, and I found the classroom flirting scene to be cute.

Has a kickin' soundtrack though. Lol

Friends is a great song

22:07 - Funny, that; in Transformers Animated, Prowl is a cyberninja, and he transforms into a motorcycle.

Loved this review when the cine masochist did it three years ago

Ninja! Ninja! Crap! :'D

hey cinema snob, have you watch riftraxx live: miami connection?

I came from Black Love to here. Hmmm I’m not sure which is better CS. Kinda leaning towards black love lol

Ackchyually, it's "dochang" (rather than "dojo") since Taekwondo is Korean. Note: All light beer is pedestrian trough water no matter who's in charge of what.

When showing a shot from “Orlando” perhaps it is best not show a building that actually states that the shot is from Coral Gables….

3:20 nice Bushwhack reference 🤣

Brad's mime sex scene was soooooo funny!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Friends Forever with Loyalty, Honesty! ❤🎉 (stuck in my head for weeks) actually could be worse , i ended up more loyal and honest. 😂

Thanks, Mapquest.

You forgot to leave in that funny ass cry the guy let's out right after he says he finds his father

This is weaponized 80s.

WHO PUT COCAINE IN MAH COFFEE?!?!?! D:
