Miami Connection
Year: 1987
Genre: Action/Crime
Runtime: 120mins
Rating: Unrated
IMDB Score: 5.5/10 (220 votes)
Director(s): Y.K Kim and Woo-sang PArk
Writer(s): Joseph Diamand (screenplay), Y.K Kim & Woo-sang Park (stroy)
Plot/Synopsis:
A martial arts rock band goes up against a band of motorcycle ninjas who have tightened their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade.
Forethought(s):
80′s martial arts/action cheese with an over the top plot. Sign me up!
Fun Fact/Trivia:
The movie is also know as American Streetfigthers.
Stars of the movie: Y.K Kim,Vincent Hirsch and Joseph Diamand
The Breakdown:
This is hands down one of the greatest bad movies ever to grace film. At the start of the movie I really thought it was Tromas attempt at a none Troma movie with the cheese blood and bad gore. As the film progressed I knew it was just a bad flick,however,it’s one of those so bad it’s good things. There are plenty of logic holes that one could dive through, horrible A.R.D,acting that makes a lot of youtube vids look good and bouts of dialogue that will make you think THE ROOM is Shakespearean.
The worst part about this film isn’t any of the above mentioned issues but rather the lack of narrative progression and multi story-lines that don’t go anywhere. There are about handful of scenes that while are somewhat fun to watch they just should have been cut from the film in order to make it feel more polished. There’s a beach scene that felt out of place (it did have nice looking ladies) that did nothing and I mean NOTHING to progress the story at all. There was a biker scene (it had some of the most unpleasant looking ladies I’ve seen) that did not push the story forward at all and there was something that I’m guessing was sub plot that never really developed, it just felt forced in. There’s more scenes like the ones I just mentioned but I won’t go into those.
The movie opens up with typical looking 80′s drug dealers doing their thing when out of no where ninjas show up and start kicking,punching and slashing the shit out of everyone. Good start to a bad movie! Then the title sequence starts and we’re blessed with a montage of ninjas out of their gis riding some motorcycles whit flashes of the protagonist group who are Tae Kwon Do practitioners doing what Tae Kwon Do practitioners…..ALL WHLIE PLAYING IN THEIR BAND IN A CLUB to a song whose lyrics goes “..escape from Miami,escape with your life.”
Look at them, you can tell they got a lot of tail.
One of the funniest scenes is when some of the protagonists are training and the director or editor chose to use a fair amount of slow-mo. Slow-mo can be used to impart a sense of achievement or a sense of dread when used correctly but in this case it was used in such a way that I felt like I was watching a training vid. It could also be used for a what not to do segment since a lot of the punches and kicks were WAY OFF the mark.
Best line/exchange in the movie:
Tom: [Tom checks out a bunch of chicks at the beach] They don’t make buns like that down at the bakery.
The Verdict:
At this point most of you have said “screw this movie, I’m not wasting my time on it.” and if all you like are blockbuster type of flicks,yeah, don’t waste your time,however,if you like movies that are corny, overacted,picks the wrong times to do slow-mo or some decent action sequences then you should give this movie a chance. It’s one of those flicks that you pop in on a Saturday afternoon with some friends toss back some beer or wine and enjoy the campiness of the film.
I know I highlighted a lot of things that would make it sound like I did not enjoy this movie but it’s quite the contrary. It’s because of all the fuck ups that make the movie enjoyable. It has a charm and innocents to it that you so rarely get. It’s not for everyone but if you’re the type of person who likes the type of stuff that use to get played on Billy Bobbs Drive In Theater then you should give this one a chance.
I give this movie 3 coked up martial artist out of 5.

Taken 2
Year: 2012
Genre: Action/Crime/Thriller
Runtime: 92mins
Rating: PG-13
IMDB Score: 6.3/10 (69,400+ Votes)
Director(s): Olivier Megaton
Writer(s): Luc Besson & Robert Mark Kamen
Plot/Synopsis:
In Istanbul, retired CIA operative Bryan Mills and his ex-wife are taken hostage by the father of a kidnapper Mills killed while rescuing his daughter.
Forethought(s):
The first one was damn near perfect of an action movie and I expect no less from this one since it has the writers are back and the director has two fairly good action movies under her belt.
Fun Fact/Trivia:
Istanbul is 2,063 square miles.
Stars of the movie: Liam Neeson,Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace
The Breakdown:
I’m sure you all want to know if I was TAKEN with this movie but you’ll just have to wait and see.
The movie starts off with the family members of the kidnappers from the first movie burying their blood and vowing vengeance upon the one who did the killing which sets the tone for the movie quite well which a lot of films are slow to do. During this time there are some fast flashbacks to refresh your memory if you can’t recall what happened in 2008 (when the first one came out) and that will be a recurring device. Once the vowing is over with, the movie moves on to Bryan,who is played by Neeson, who is just sitting outside the house of his ex-wife waiting for his daughter, who is played by Maggie Grace,so he can teach her how to drive. Remember that she can’t drive because I will talk about that in a few. The daughter isn’t home so he talks with his ex-wife and finds out that his daughter is at her boyfriends place. Bryan is not very happy about that and does a background check on the boyfriend. Keep in mind the background check.
This isn't the plan that I had come together.
A little time passes and he shows up at the exes again but this time finds out that she and her new man are having issues and invites them (the ex and his daughter) to Istanbul for a get away. All this happens in about 20mins time and we still don’t have any action at all. At this point I’m bummed. Some minutes pass and Maggie Grace shows up in a two piece and let me just say she’s got some very nice legs and an ass that you just want to watch like a perpetual wave machine;she was built to be on all fours. O.K back to the movie,so,a few more minutes pass and the new kidnappers are looking for everyone in the family. They catch Bryan and his ex but not the daughter. We finally get some action in the form of a chase scene that ends in a short fist to fist sequence. Almost forgot,this happens around the 26min mark! Why so damn long for the action to start? They were trying to build tension. It worked but the action didn’t feel as well done as the tension building.
Some more time passes and now the daughter who couldn’t drive is now behind the wheel of a cab with a stick and she’s going all Need For Speed on her who be captors. This was a plot-hole that pissed me right the hell off. I can buy that she knows how to ride stick as long as that stick is a dick but we were led to believe that she is a very poor driver even though it’s hinted that she may not have passed her drivers tests (3 of them) intentionally. O.K I can sorta swallow (something that I would love to find out if Grace does) that she’s not as bad as she’s made out to be but I cannot,even for a dollar,buy that she’s knows how to drive stick like a formula 1 racer when she was having a hard time with auto. Don’t get me wrong the car chase was cool and fun to watch but at the same time it irked me because of the above mentioned issue. Almost forgot the
You want to watch my what as if it's a what?
After the car chase Bryan goes on the hunt and while we get some more fights,both with and without guns,it’s just not the type of action you would expect if you’ve seen TAKEN. The final fight sequence is anti-climactic and is just O.K.
The ending is of course happy. The family is at a soda shop (I think) or dinner and in walks the daughters boyfriend who we only saw once before this point and never heard back on the background check that Bryan did. It is because of that that I think he will be the villain in some manner in the third installment of the series.
Best line/exchange in the movie:
None thing really stood out this time around.
The Verdict:
So I wasn’t TAKEN with the movie but I don’t think the movie should be TAKEN to the firing range and shot. I like the direction that was TAKEN with the tension and drama but feel that the movie should have been longer to fit in better suited action scenes and fill in some more gaps. All in all it was a slightly above average action movie. It’s not something anyone should rush out and see but if you happen to come across it on TV give it a go.
I give this movie 3 stick shifts out of 5.
