Today, we discovered the trailer for the film via EW.com. And it does not disappoint. No matter how much shlock you expected in this film, your expectations are too low. There are enough exaggerated roundhouse kicks, fake-blood splatters, impressively large hairstyles, and cheesy '80s rock anthems about friendship and ninjas featured in this promo to make John Carpenter's head explode.

Behold the glory that is Miami Connection after the jump.
