I don't really have much to say about this version of the film-- except for that fact that it sucked. Having hip hop stars dub over the original voices does not bother me at all. The fact that this movie, which was quite entertaining in its original format, was edited horribly and botched beyond comprehension does bother me, however. I can't believe that people are actually being charged money to see this p.o.s.
Don't buy this unless you get off on wasting money and being disappointed, because this crap fails...big time.

i bought the korean version upon its release years ago.when i seen that MTV was gonna show it and help release it here a few years later.i thought to myself.''here we go again''another movie getting messed up by MTV and some dumb rappers'' i was right.the usa version couldve been better if you left the packaging alone and just subtitled it.and not dubbed it,,,especially with some MTV crappy rappers.i hate MTV more and more every day.they act like they own the entertainment industry.im so glad i got the korean version years ago and kept it with the subtitles and original language.we always seem to have someone mess movies up when we bring them to the usa.congratz MTV FOR SUCKING SO BAD!i suggest anyone interested in this to buy the original and not the MTV rapper crap.
March 6, 2008I really gave this movie one star because it is the average of four stars that I would have awarded to the Korean version and negative two stars that I generously bestow upon the MTV version. Seriously. You can purchase this DVD, that's fine by me, but after opening the package for the first time please follow these instructions carefully:
1) Locate side A of your DVD which contains the MTV version.
2) Rub vigorously with 60-grit sandpaper until you can no longer see your reflection in that side of the disc.
3) Insert side B of the disc, watch, and enjoy.
Following these steps will prevent you from accidentally witnessing the perversion that MTV has committed in trying to "gangsterize" this film.

This is for the Korean version. I didn't think it was funny and was the first martial arts movie that I almost did NOT finish. The "fight" scenes were idiotic with little direct combat but mostly just "energy" gathered from thin air and then thrown at the other person. The movie also had inconsistencies. For example, Jang Ryang, or whatever the long hair guy's name is (that's a joke from the movie-pretty hilarious isn't it?) can't even compete with the substitute teachers and then out of no where he comes in and takes them all on and kills one or two (this is after he has repeated been beaten without laying one hand on any of them). This was such a joke and waste of time. Believe me, there are better!

volcano high is an amazing movie. its not intense action, but it also has a great story line. i recommend this one to anyone who has even the slightest interest in knug fu films.
