About the event

THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING - New DCP!
Free admission!
THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING
Hong Kong, Taiwan | 1979 | DCP | 90 min.
Director: Joseph Kuo
Cast: Shi-Chia Lung, Kuan-Wu Lung, Simon Lee
A vicious villain with an unstoppable five element technique, Ghostface Killer is bumping off all of his old rivals, verbally insulting his opponents as he annihilates them. 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 our hero must confront Ghostface! With the support of Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, a new DCP has been created from the only known 35mm print of The Mystery of Chess Boxing, one of the most cherished of all kung fu movies! The especially raucous English-dubbed version, a must to see with an audience, will be screened.
