The Really Awful Movies team breaks down the extremely bad Brian Bosworth vehicle, Virus.

It’s another one of these outbreak / sinister government plot flicks.

According to its IMDb write-up, “A United States Presidential bodyguard risks everything to save the day when a truck chock full of biological weapons contrives to crash in a National Park.”

The bodyguard is of course, Brian Bosworth aka, The Boz.

The Boz was a big star in the NCAA and then joined the Seattle Seahawks very briefly.

The Boz portrays a secret service agent who was once a highly-regarded college football player. Who would’ve thought? There’s even a reference to that.

We also break down the absurd geyser subplot and how the virus is the least effectual biohazard we’ve ever seen.

There’s a reason the thing sits at 2.8 out of 10.

Miami Connection might very well be the worst film of all time. It definitely rivals The Room.

The movie features a band of University of Central Florida orphans, led inexplicably by a Korean dojo master twenty years their senior, whose mandate for this unorthodox musical act is to “spread taekwondo awareness.”

The band features not only some questionable musicality, but live martial arts demonstrations as part of their stage act.

Things get crazy when a rival band hires a local goon and his gang to drive them out of a popular Orlando nightclub (yes, don’t let the name fool you. The film’s set in Orlando, NOT Miami). This forces the band to battle some toughs, who look like meth addicts.

Now, not to worry. The band’s musical prowess is matched by their taekwondo abilities. And there are lots of beat downs.

Lastly, for some reason there are ninjas as well as a shoe-horned in subplot involving a long last dad and a tearful reunion.

Check out our discussion of the absolutely glorious, campy, endearing and fantastic Miami Connection.

yorIn our inaugural podcast, we look at the campy, prehistoric Yor, The Hunter from the Future, a muscle-bound loincloth guy who saves the damsel in distress and her tribe kinda flick.

We also look at Italian directors who take on Anglicized names, how the cave-people all seem to resemble a hippie George Harrison and how the dinosaur special effects are decidedly less than enthralling.

Also, there’s a clip and discussion about the movie’s virtually indecipherable 1983 Golden Raspberry Award nominee for original song, and how Cappadocia, Turkey was used as a very budget-friendly locale for shooting rip-off sci fi films.

In the book, The Official Razzie Movie Guide: Enjoying the Best of Hollywoods Worst they say that the title character Yor (played by former NCAA footballer Reb Brown) has Doris Day’s hair. We beg to differ. It’s more He-Man by way of Joan Rivers.

Hear about how we’re very pro Cro-Magnon in our review of Yor, The Hunter from the Future.
