Miami Connection Page #3

Synopsis: The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida's narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song "Against the Ninja," Mark (taekwondo master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world's smelliest underbelly. It'll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can't stop until they've completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the "stupid cocaine"...and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!!!

Me, too.

You know, when I first

came to this country, I had nobody. Nobody.

Sounds like you're still homesick.

Not like before.

I bet you still miss all the taekwondo

training that goes on in Korea.

Everybody practice taekwondo there.

Taekwondo originate in Korea.

But now, it is practiced all over the world.

All over the world?

What do you think about a tour?

What kind of tour?

It would be a world tour.

But, what would make it speciaI

...is that we play in

each other's countries.

You know, like, finding our roots.

You mean we're gonna play in Ireland?

Right.

While we're in Europe, we'd visit Italy...

...you know, Tom's home country.

We'd visit all the countries

where our parents came from.

Korea.

Ireland.

We'll play in IsraeI.

That's where my parents are from.

I didn't realize this before.

Dragon Sound is really

an internationaI band.

Right, wherever we go...

we'd visit the locaI taekwondo schools...

we promote peace and goodwill.

You think

we could take a little time- Out for dinner.

while we're trying to save the world?

Oh!

Uncle Song is expecting us tonight.

How come he hasn't been

working out with us lately?

He's having a lot of problems

with his restaurant.

Hey, man.

Hey, man, y'all knock that sh*t out.

Let's get out of here.

I ain't paying

for this sh*t! Get outta here, dude.

Hey, hey, hey.

Why don't you pay me?

Get out of here.

He wants money from us?

Please.

Hey! I'll give you the money!

What's he gonna do?

Whoa! Uncle Song.

How'd you do it?

- Amazing!

You just wiped them out! That was great.

Those guys!

That was great.

I am so sorry

for what happened. I didn't mean...

You just knocked them and kicked them.

I want to be able to do that.

You took all of them by yourself?

Taekwondo is not just kicking and punching.

Taekwondo is right here and right here.

Mark, you know what I mean?

Yes, Uncle Song.

I know what you mean.

And I know what taekwondo is all about.

It is a way of life.

It makes Dragon Sound stick together.

To be strong and gentle.

Taekwondo is the best!

Mark, I loved

those licks you were doing.

Someone left me a love letter.

Sure.

Shut up.

Let me see.

"Meet downtown. The railroad tracks. "

From Jeff?

So, what are we gonna do here?

I guess we have no choice.

Let's meet those guys and get it over with.

Hey, where you going? Come here, huh?

Jane?

I'm fine.

But it doesn't matter right now.

Where've you been?

I've been looking all over for you.

How could you do this to me?

You really embarrassed me this time.

Why don't you

just leave Dragon Sound alone?

Okay, look.

Don't concern yourself with what I'm doing.

You concentrate on schooI and nothing else.

I'll take care of all the other things.

No, you won't. I'll take

care of myself, okay?

I'm old enough to do that now.

And if I wanna see John, I will.

Besides that, I love him.

There's nothing you can do about it.

So, just please leave him alone.

Hey, look. We're family, you and I.

I've helped you

ever since you were a little girI.

I've worked very hard

to give you the best things in life.

I don't want you to mess it up.

...by going out with a second rate

musician like that John character.

Listen! As your brother, now, listen to me.

I don't want you to see him again. Ever.

I want you to go home now,

and remember what I said.

I'll go home. And you are terrible!

What time you got, man?

Ah, they should've been

here a long time ago.

I remember what

that son of a b*tch did to my hand.

They're dead meat!

I'm gonna get his ass

this time. For my nose, hand and sh*t.

They're coming! Come on, let's go!

You're dead meat!

- You're history!

That son of a b*tch! Right now!

Get him!

Come on, big boy.

Right here. Come on, boy!

Come on, big boy! Right here!

Cops! Let's go!

Everybody out! Let's go! Get out!

It's the cops! Hurry up! Hurry up!

Where did everybody go?

- I don't know.

Looks like another gang.

Ah, we need to get

these gangs out of CentraI Florida anyway.

That's true.

- Let's get out of here.

I love it when I game.

Like no other man.

Because I got the flame.

And I'm a tough guy.

When things are getting rough.

And you've had enough.

Come on. Let's go.

But anyway, did you

get rid of that group, Dragon Sound?

Not yet. They're pretty tough.

Especially that Korean guy, Mark.

He's a black belt in taekwondo.

I'm gonna have to

give these guys a speciaI treatment.

Hey! Give me a beer!

Kiss! Give me a kiss!

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

What's going on?

Hey, let me see the paper.

Nothing from the defense department yet.

Why don't you read the classifieds?

See if you can dig up some work.

I could, sure use a job.

Maybe if all of us started sending letters.

...to the division in South Korea.

we might get some results. You know.

I'm sure they keep all those records.

Yeah, I think that's a really good idea.

Okay, we did good today!
