Cult films are a difficult thing to force on audiences. Typically,
cinematic junk needs time to cure in obscurity, developing a fringe
appreciation before widespread acceptance arrives, along with all the
necessary media attention. “Miami Connection” isn’t a DOA offering
that’s been basting in the juices of bad moviedom for decades now, it’s a
harmless, clueless 1987 Floridian production that’s been recently
plucked out of obscurity, paraded around on a brief theatrical tour so
film geeks and students of schlock can point and laugh at its awfulness,
developing a new midnight movie secret language. There’s no doubt that
“Miami Connection” is awful, but a celebratory, gut-bustin’ awful? Not
exactly. In fact, you might walk away feeling sorry for the amateurs who
pieced this effort together 25 years ago, with their collective mistake
coming back to haunt cinemas once again, reigniting the humiliation. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
