    Episode 171 - Miami Connection: LIVE!

    I only saw this movie once several years back with a friend, and what we both remembered is this was a pretty thinly veiled anti-Japanese movie. Korea still holds a lot of animosity toward Japan because of Japanese colonization of Korea for the first half of the 20th century. Enter a Korean-made movie where the winningest fighting style is Korea's national fighting style (Taekwondo). Meanwhile, the main enemies are a group of evil ninjas (ninjas rep Japan), and the song that's played over and over throughout the movie is Fight the Ninja (Japan again). Add to that one of the main "ninja" gang members runs around with a bloody bandage on his head which basically looks like he is wearing the flag of Japan on his head, and you get a movie that clearly says "Japanese ninjas are bad, so fight them with Korean taekwondo." There are other scenes that back this up, but it's been ages so I can't remember them all. For people wondering what the hell the plot was, probably the creator was less concerned with a solid plot and more concerned with sending this political message. Still, one of the most ridiculous and entertaining movies I've ever seen!
