The Stranger

If you like B movies or know a fair amount about grindhouse, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS. What a fabulous fucking disaster! Made in 1987 by Korean director Y. K. Kim—a martial-arts guru and ninth-degree-black-belt-haver who also stars in the film—Miami Connection is extra-triple-cheesy and deliciously weird. It involves a kung-fu-practicing synth rock group, a real-life biker gang with boob-flashing hot mamas, and a terrible amount of Troma-film-style violence. It all adds up to this magical cultural document. (SIFF Cinema Uptown, 511 Queen Anne Ave N, siff.net, 10 pm, $11) by Kelly O
