Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A one-armed boxer faces a blind assassin whose hat-shaped weapon makes every doorway a hazard. The tournament brings a wonderful variety of impossible techniques and dangerous opponents. It is inventive martial-arts pulp, best enjoyed by a room loudly reconsidering each fighter's strategy.
