Essentials: THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING

A brand new DCP of the 1979 old-school kung fu classic, sourced from the only known 35mm print! Widely regarded as one of the greatest kung fu films, and an obvious favorite of the Wu Tang Clan.

The original Ghostface Killer is on the loose! A vicious villain with an unstoppable five element technique, Ghostface is killing off all his old rivals. Meanwhile, a young student tries to learn kung fu and is taken under the wing of an old chess master. The basics of chess prove to be the same as the basics of fighting, and eventually the heroes will have to fight Ghostface Killer, who verbally insults his opponents as he annihilates them. Directed by Joseph Kuo (Seven Grandmasters, 18 Bronzemen).

Screened via an English dub.
