Miami Connection Gets G.I. Joe Styled Action Figures... Just Another Reason I love This Film's Existence

I have been singing the praises of Miami Connection for months now, ever since Alamo Drafthouse announced they would be putting out the 1987 Kung Fu Rock Opera by releasing a killer extended trailer. Now the gang over at Alamo is showing just how hip and cool they are, by completing a set of G.I. Joe styled action figures for some of the heroes and the villains of the movies. I don't know if this movie can possibley live up to all the hype it has set for itself, but soon you will be able to see it in a city near you! Check out this site to see when it is playing in your area... and check out the pictures of the figures after the jump.

Thank you Super Punch. You guys rule... 

'The Movie Trailer For Miami Connection' Proves That Great Things Can Come Many years After They Are Made... Even 80's Rock n Roll Ninjas!!!!

I love it when a plan comes together... especially if it comes together 25 years after the inception of the idea. 'Miami Connection' is a shitty 1987 Kung Fu movie that combines ridiculous haircuts, terrible fight scenes, silly decapitations & dismemberment, and a synth rock back story that never saw much of the light of day. Then Jason Eisner, director of Hobo with a Shotgun, bought a copy of the film on Ebay for 50 bucks and decided to re-edit the film for Drafthouse Films. The result is a completely new movie that is about to be released at Fantastic Fest this year and may be coming to a indy theater near you. (Landmark Sunshine Cinemas in NYC on Nov 2nd & 3rd) Holy shit does this look nuts. Check out the newly minted trailer after the jump...
