RiffTrax presents Miami Connection
Two Nights Only for Autumn!

Thursday, October 1 – 7:00 pm only at the Century Rio, Century Downtown and Regal Cottonwood.  Encore presentation 7:30 pm Tuesday, October 6.

Original Film Directed by Richard Park & Y.K. Kim – 1987.
2015 Riffing/Commentary provided by Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett – approximately 120m.

The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 are back in select cinemas nationwide on Thursday, October 1 (with a taped encore on October 6) for a hilarious never-before-seen take on the independent martial arts film of the ’80s, Miami Connection.

Join Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett of RiffTrax for an uproarious riff on this impossible-to-explain and impossible-to-forget 1987 flick!  This two-night event will be your only chance to see the guys fire their wisecracking commentary at Miami Connection on the big screen.  In the film, a cocaine deal in Miami is interrupted by a group of motorcycle-riding ninjas, who steal the drugs and ride back to Orlando to party. At a club, the ninjas’ second-in-command, Jeff, sees his sister Jane onstage. She has become romantically involved with John, the bassist of the club’s band, which consists of five university students who live together and train Tae Kwon Do. Jeff disapproves of his sister’s relationship with John and confronts him at school, but Mark, the leader of Dragon Sound, stands up to him. Another band confronts the owner of the club over his hiring of Dragon Sound, but gets beaten up. The band leader brings a large group of rowdy guys to Dragon Sound directly and fights them in the street…

Again, this special presentation takes place in Albuquerque at the Century Rio, Century Downtown and the Regal Cottonwood theaters.
