ODDEON - Summer Double Bill

Description

Oddeon is celebrating the Summer with a cult movie double bill. A match made in heaven: two films that ooze the same kitsch brilliance and cult appeal. Both leaning heavily on themes of friendship, diversity, being rock musicians and still having time to fight the forces of evil on the side. Welcome to the Oddeon Summer Double Bill.

Featuring:

MIAMI CONNECTION

Directed by 9th degree black belt philosopher/author/inspirational speaker Grandmaster Y.K. Kim, the film tells the story of fearless synth rock band Dragon Sound as they embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice in the streets of Orlando.Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida's narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice.

"To say that Miami Connection is bad is a crushing understatement. Miami Connection is so bad it makes Tommy Wiseau's The Room look like Wild Strawberries. But out of that tragic mess of failure and incompetence, a distinctly sweet spirit emerges" - The Stranger

"Hits the sweet spot between stunning ineptitude, hilariously dated period touchstones, and a touching naïveté" - AV Club

"It may just force you to redefine your definition of what constitutes "good" cinema" - Slant Magazine

THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION!

Adventurer, brain surgeon, rock musician Buckaroo Banzai and his crime-fighting team, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil alien invaders from the eighth dimension who are planning to conquer Earth.

This bizarre and quintessentially 80s ensemble sci-fi adventure film polarised opinion at the box office and cemented its position as a cult film and has been a clear influence on modern directors like Wes Anderson.

"It's quite possibly the weirdest sci-fi movie ever made" - Den Of Geek

"One of the crappiest films of all time. Yet somehow, inexplicably, it's also one of the coolest films of all time" - EFilmCritic.com

"Screams cult classic through and through" - FilmCritic.com

"It violates every rule of storytelling It violates every rule of storytelling and narrative structure" - Variety

"No, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension was not the worst movie ever made" - The Guardian
