Miami Connection (1987) 2012

In a high-stakes cocaine deal that spirals completely out of control, a crew of motorcycle-riding ninjas, led by the elusive Yashito, descends to hijack the drugs, unleashing chaos wherever they go. Amidst this turbulence, we meet Jeff, a devoted associate of Yashito, whose attention is fixated on his sister, Jane, a talented performer at a lively local club. At this venue, Jane crosses paths with John, the bassist for Dragon Sound, a band composed of five college students from varied backgrounds, bound together by their Taekwondo prowess and shared experiences at the University of Central Florida. The impending challenges threaten to strain the close-knit bond they share.

As tensions simmer between Jeff and John, Mark, the rhythm guitarist and the band’s father figure, staunchly supports Jane’s engagement with John, adding fuel to the fire. Furthermore, a rival band becomes incensed with the club owner’s choice to book Dragon Sound, which leads to a violent showdown where Dragon Sound’s martial arts skills triumph over their adversaries.

This conflict ignites a series of events, with Jeff determined to exact revenge on the band, employing dubious methods such as the kidnapping of Tom, the lead guitarist and vocalist. Swiftly, the remaining band members rally to orchestrate a bold rescue, ultimately leading to Jeff’s defeat at the hands of Mark. Meanwhile, Yashito, engulfed in sorrow and fury over the loss of his friend, embarks on a relentless quest for retribution.

As the stakes heighten, Jim, the keyboardist, is propelled by a personal mission to locate his long-lost father, culminating in a touching reunion at the airport. Just when it seems the storm has passed, Yashito and his ninja gang resurface, intent on annihilating Mark, Jim, and John. A thrilling confrontation unfolds, during which Jim sustains a serious injury; however, he ultimately triumphs, bolstered by the courage of his bandmates.

In the aftermath of the tumultuous events, Mark confronts Yashito in an intense one-on-one battle, delivering a decisive blow. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jim recuperates from his injuries and reunites with his remorseful father, bringing their emotional journey to a heartwarming conclusion.
