THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING

Special Features: New DCP | Tickets $8!

[雙馬連環] [SHUĀNG MǍLIÁN HUÁN]
Widely regarded as one of the greatest kung fu films, and an obvious favorite of the Wu Tang Clan, this old-school kung fu classic is presented in a brand new DCP sourced from the only known 35mm print. The original Ghost Faced Killer is on the loose! A vicious villain with an unstoppable five-element technique, the Ghost Faced Killer 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. Eventually, the heroes will have to fight the Ghost Faced Killer, who verbally insults his opponents as he annihilates them. (Note adapted from 36 Cinema.) DIR/SCR/PROD Joseph Kuo.
