Transferred to the mysterious Volcano High, Kim arrives only to find that he may have found a place where he belongs. There, teachers, students, and some athletic clubs are engaged in a race against one another to find a secret martial arts manuscript, and Kim's powers just might give one group an edge over the rest.

    Bonkers But in a Good way

    Visually stunning as it is incomprehensible. Suspend your disbelief (believe me, your gonna have to!) and enjoy two hours or so of amazing fight scenes, crazy over the top characterisation and weird/obscure plotting. Much more fun than the plodding Matix 'trilogy' to which it has been compared by some reviewers. So, put brain in a shoe box under the bed, let rip with a beer or two and above all have fun-hey, it's only a movie!

    Learn To Use The DVD Frist

    As an avid fan of the 'Hong Kong Legends Collection', it was not a problem for me to enter the setup, and alter the language and subtitles in the audio menu.

    However, once the film had got going I found it a little bizzare. The overall look was great, special effects good, and the ivitial story was quite original. But it was a little strange. Usually the action compensates for any discrepencies, but the action was limited and if you are not a fan of wirework, give it a miss.
