Synopsis
High school has always been a problem for Kim. Having gone through eight in his short life because of his inability to control his supernatural powers, Kim isn't too excited about his next one. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Setting the record straight, 17 Mar 2006
Right lets set the record straight about this film.....
By no means is it crap but its not a shining example of Koren filmmaking either.
Taking place in Volcano High, a school for pupils with exordinary powers (sensing a little X men here) it follows the typical troubled but misunderstood new kid who is the most powerful of them all able to perform some 'Chi' trick of merging water into a force blast type thing!!!!

As far as narrative goes, this isn't the most clear in the world, things happen that don't really make sense but that may be a case of translation barriers.

However I found it emensly entertaining. The look of it is also really intersting, everything is tinted a blue steely look which makes the film visually stand out. However, for those hard core Martial Arts fans out there I don't think this will live up to your expectations as its a case of less fighting and more 'wire fu', computer effects and overly long posed stasis in which we must admire the well formed form of the led male who has a rather concerning bleached-dye thing going on!!!!

But for those less disserting Martial Arts viewers this will no doubt provide a most entertaining viewing but....
PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE FILM WITH THE ENGLISH DUBS, they are terrible YOU MUST ONLY watch it with the subtitles so if reading is not your thing you will not enjoy this film as the dubs really let it down!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, 3 Mar 2004
OK ok this film isn't the most indulgent plotwise. However if you like action and lots of style this film is for you!! Bring on Korean new wave!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great film!, 1 May 2004
By A Customer
This film is packed with action,comedy and romance.Although i would say this film isn't for anyone over the age of 30.After i finished watching this film i felt like putting it straight back on.Watching the film in English dubbing is hilarious and made the film even more funny.The actors in this film were brilliant and convincing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just goes to show
Should have trusted the 1-star review. This film was lacking in plot, decent effects, humour, the lot; there wasn't even much in the way of decent violence. Avoid.

1.0 out of 5 stars Utter piece of Crap!- Completely sucks! -Don't Buy it !
This thing is such a piece of junk and such a crime pushing the faces of hip hop artists on the cover who obviously have no interest in it themselves. Read more
