Golden Mask Hyung-rae and the Mischievous Taoist Master (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Hyung-rae, the three musketeers, and Sol are students of Master Ttaengcho. While gather wild greens in the mountains they witness a sword battle where Yoshimura Genjo displays amazing swordmanship. Upon hearing this Ttaengcho tells the students of his three greatest disciples in the past: Mu-cho of Korea, Peng Jia of China, and Yoshimura Genjo of Japan. All three harbor ambition to conquer the martial world, but are kept in check by the others. However, Mu-cho of Korea has now disappeared along with the power of the Golden Mask.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
