Surreal melodrama mixed with ballsy fight scene lunacy, I still prefer the grandiose absurdity of Miami Connection, merely L.A. Streetfighter is no slouch when it comes to amusement—tbh the fight scenes may even be better here.
The nihilistic flip side to the rock n' scroll hi jinx of Miami Connection might all-time its companion's esteem in consistent lunacy.

Highlights include:
* Fully-mustached and weathered thirty-year-olds passing equally high schoolers that would brand Michael Showalter blush
* Mumbly dubbing of an already surreal script, a not-English speaking Korean's approximation of American colloquialisms
* The buddy tandem of the "deadliest hitman from Japan" and his tough every bit nails, no introduction necessary New York equivalent Kruger
* An overweight gang member's life-size pan flute
* The saddest birthday block in history
You lot'll pay me 5 bucks, or I'll kicking your ass!

Same director as the two previous, but instead of Miami or Republic of korea, we're now in LA! I'm hoping this volition likewise be most friendship, because friendship is all that matters in this world!

A Korean immigrant is new in LA and comes across a Korean gang at his high school. They don't like him merely considering he's the new guy in town. Asian gangs seemed to exist everywhere in the 80s always causing a ruckus and beating people upwardly. At present since everyone and their son have guns, gangs just shoot people, so there aren't any more Asian martial arts gangs anymore from what I've heard. Fists and kicks just…
Miami Connection minus the musical numbers and professionalism, but with meliorate fight scenes. The version of it on YouTube looks like it was shot through a sock, just apparently the DVD and existing 35mm versions aren't much amend.
New Fairfax Loftier School student Phillip Rhee (25) runs afoul the schoolhouse bully James Lew (32) and is taken under the wing of beau student, Jun Chong (40). The first thing you'll observe about Ninja Turf is that Fairfax High Schoolhouse has a lot of mature students – creating a surreal tone that is easily the highlight of the film. The actress playing Jun Chong's mother looks old enough to be his married woman – and if he'd been played as a henpecked married man information technology would accept provided greater dramatic effect. Loren Avedon has a bit part as one of Lew's goons, and there is a nice battle between Chong and Neb "Superfoot" Wallace.

Fans of director Woo-sang Park's recently exhumed Miami Connection will want all of this.
The hilariously awful DVD for this (which has a encompass that is 100% for a different, made in the 2010s moving picture) features the tagline "Drugs. Money. Power. Glory." - I got none of those things and this looks like it was shot through burlap. But you get to spotter a 40 year old Jun Chong try to play a loftier school student.
La première fois que j'ai vu L.A. Streetfighters, j'ai qualifié ça de Miami Connection-light. C'est réalisé par son co-réalisateur, c'est un peu la même histoire, y'a des scènes copier-coller... Mais là, je dirais que le film mérite autant d'attention que Miami Connection à european union. C'est inepte et risible à tellement de niveau que ça mérite ça place dans les fameuses listes de bons mauvais films. La seule chose qui manque pour que ça devienne united nations classique, c'est un fake-band qui font des tounes contre leurs ennemis. Pis ça, Miami Connection va toujours avoir de fifty'avance là-dessus.
Young wanted to fuck Tony so bad.
A await at L.A.'s dark, shadowy underbelly.

As in actually dark.

Likewise dark.

Tin can't come across shit.
50.A. Streetfighters is interesting, but I don't know if I can call it good. Or even good/bad.

Information technology's fascinating to see this as what Miami Connectedness would be without Y.K. Kim'due south impossible optimism washing over it. Very similar story, just a different coast...

This movie never approaches the hilarious heights of Miami Connection, and aside from the choice to cast middle-aged men as high schoolhouse students and using ADR for every spoken utterance, this tin be taken relatively direct. Merely toward the end, when information technology becomes intensely melodramatic, does it brainstorm to rise to it's cool potential.
Park'south L.A. STREETFIGHTERS is a prelude to his far more superior work MIAMI Connectedness. Not that it doesn't have its charms, but it is not really tipped to the point of ridiculousness that the later film possesses.
For the offset half it is a nail. 40 year old high school students walking the halls, random rumbles in the aisle (singular on purpose) of Los Angeles, a fast friendship, a doomed love, and a black friend breaking down because he loves his friends so much. It is all glorious, with over the summit dubbing and sort of inept fight choreography.
By the halfway signal, all of the practiced volition generated by its scrappy charm has worn away and the motion picture becomes relentlessly grim and, even worse, deadening.
Worth a watch to encounter Park attempt to hone his themes, but if you want to switch it off at the 45 minute mark you would not miss anything.
There is something to exist said for the alchemy that occurs when burning passion and total incompetence combine. It does create a pulse, an identity, and dare I say, a sense of entertainment. L.A. Streetfighters has one obvious positive, which is that all of the actors are martial artists and they know what they're doing. Just any scene that isn't a fight scene is laser precision awkward, be it lensing, lighting, editing, interim, or dialogue replacement. You'd think they'd have successfully composed a scene just one time, even if past accident. If you took a multiple selection test and filled out "D) All of the above" on every answer, you lot should theoretically be 25% right, but we've somehow ended up with…
