Raiders of the Shaolin Temple
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A stableboy's kung-fu ambitions lead to a training room full of mechanical horses. That is only the beginning of this martial-arts oddity's eccentric equipment. The fights and unusual training devices give a group plenty to enjoy, even when the dialogue and stage blood become conspicuous.
