Volcano High
“Who is the Best WaSanGo Martial Arts Expert?”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 63, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A repeatedly expelled student reaches a school where martial-arts factions compete for a powerful manuscript. The Korean fantasy turns ordinary school hierarchies into extravagant wuxia conflict. Jang Hyuk's switch between confidence and goofy discomfort helps the elaborate action retain a comic centre.
