I don't get the connection...

Warning: Spoilers
This film has a 5.8, are you kidding me? This was like the 80's bad side all balled up in a yucky concoction! We have ninjas, hair metal bands, Miami, drugs and we really do not get all that much Miami. The film seems to take place near Central Florida University who probably had to pay a huge sum of money to undo the damage done by this horrid film. The film took a while to even get to the point of the story as it starts by showing random scenes, but they soon take shape and the movie still sucks!

The story, well ninjas raid this drug deal and pretty much have no problem taking out drug dealers wielding uzis the most 80's weapon ever! Soon we are in a club in Orlando, the only scene taking place in Miami the opening scene and we are treated by a horrid band called Dragon Sound as Oates from Hall and Oates seems to be the lead singer! No, not really, and these guys cannot sing as they later sing about their friendship as the band is like brothers! Speaking of brothers, there is one guy who is apparently jealous of his sister dating one of the guys in the band which is beyond weird and strange! The brother and the guy she is dating run afoul of each other and suddenly the band keeps going to street fights and winning despite being outnumbered and outgunned!

The film must of been like a commercial for tae quon do as these guys take out everyone in the film! I seriously think a jackass I went to school with had to have seen this movie as he always talked about how he knew it and could kill if he wished to. Well, if this movie is any indication, two tae quon do black belts can take out a huge horde of ninjas! The same ninjas that had no problem taking out guys with machine guns! There is suspension of disbelief, but c'mon man! What is also strange is the lead ninja is trying to get revenge because the band killed his brother who was the one guy's sister, but he had no knowledge of the sister at the beginning. I guess he meant they were like brothers, but wouldn't he still know the guy had a sister!?!

So, if watching a band play horrible music and taking out entire crowds of street thugs this film is for you! For me, it was such crap! I mean, two of the members sucked at fighting, so it was literally three people against the hordes! Meanwhile, many in the group did not know how to wear a shirt and this has to be one of the few films that would show people opening mail quite often as this band had to do everything together. Honestly, I think more than a couple of them needed to be portrayed as gay because as a straight guy I just would have no urge to live with four other dudes that were as clingy as this group was. At least it would of made sense if they were dating each other.
