    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      After opening to poor box-office showings and scathing reviews, the film was largely forgotten. In June 2009, Zack Carlson, a programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, Texas, happened upon a 35 mm print on eBay. Carlson had never heard of the film, but bought it for $35. In April 2010, Carlson screened the film at the Drafthouse, and it became wildly popular with cult film fans. More screenings took place in packed theaters. Drafthouse phoned Y.K. Kim about distributing the film. At first, Kim thought that the call was a cruel prank. Eventually, Kim realized that his film had become a popular midnight movie 25 years after its initial failure.

      When one of the gang members pours beer on the Dragon Sound members' heads, John obviously leans in so the guy can reach him.
