My School Mate, the Barbarian (2001)
Reviewed by: zarrsadus on 2001-10-25
Summary: High school drama with teen idols.
Rich kid Edward has lead a pampered life up until now, being at the top of his class. When his girlfriend frames him, he gets kicked out of school just before the HKCEE exams. In order to make sure her son graduates, Edward's powerful mother wants him to go to the DBS school. Miscommunication on the video phone makes Edward's caretakers think she said TBS, so they enroll him there instead. Upon arriving, the peaceful Edward gets a taste of how a fifth-tier school runs, and is challenged to a fight by one of the bullies, Big Mouth. After losing the fight, Edward gets helped by the former King of Duel, Stone (played by Nicholas Tse). Stone teaches Edward how to defend himself and Edward tutors Stone so that he too can pass the HKCEE exam.

This movie was decent, and probably more so if you're a girl and want to see Nicholars Tse shirtless ^_^. My favorite scene was the last big brawl when Edward starts doing special moves from the video game Project Justice (Rival Schools 2), a little silly yeah, but it added a nice spice to the ending. 7 out of 10.
