Swordsman III: The East Is Red

Certified Crap. CrapScore 64, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Rumours and impostors gather around the apparently defeated Invincible Asia. The third Swordsman film sends competing factions into another elaborate round of fantastical combat. Following every allegiance is difficult, but the extravagant martial-arts world offers its own momentum.
