- [on Miami Connection (1987)]. My students dedicated themselves to this movie so much. The sheriff department, the University of Florida - they support me so well. I did not lift up the town. It's terrible and terrible. That is what I have to pay back until I [die].
- I went to Twentieth Century, Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, you name it. Every single person say, 'Hey, Y.K. Kim, this is trash, this is trash! Don't waste your time!' I don't even know how many times this movie died. But I went too far, I couldn't stop. No way! Whenever I wanted to stop I can see my students' faces. That's the martial arts spirit. I had promised these students, you know?
