Karate Cop
Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
The future's last honest cop appears to have trained exclusively for VHS. Ron Marchini punches through a lawless wasteland where martial-arts gangs and improvised science compete for attention. Rough fights and enormous confidence make this a particularly scrappy sequel-night option.
