Mystery of Chessboxing

Ninja chess
I have always liked this movie how ever there some points in which there was skipping around. any way that was the only thing that was wrong about it Though one person said it was missing the ending the ending was there in my dvd although it was a good dvd. I say to get this would be an added crown to any Martial arts collection.

do not get ripped off this is the same version as the Tai seng
The title pretty much says it all there is not still a remastered version of ninja checkmate AKA The Mystery Of Chessboxing the cover has a better picture than the one in the Martial arts theater Tai Seng version and it is printed by the bootleg company of RED SUN or Bonzai what they call themselves these days it is overall one of the greatest martial arts movies ever though and recomend anyone to watch this film and maybe hope to one day be letterboxed and remastered also a good site to look for kung fu movies is [...]

Good Movie/Bad Product
The Mystery of Chessboxing (also known as Ninja Checkmate) was a very fun movie. It is the type of movie that does not take it self seriously. Choreography in this movie was outstanding. The story was one of your generic revenge stories. I absolutely love how the ghost faced killer meets his victims. His quotes are awesome. Great flick, good movie.

The dvd that I purchased is terrible. It seems to be a vhs trasnfer from an Ocean Shore recording. Many scenes are missing, including; the end of the movie! Restored picture would be nice, but it was acceptable for me. The sound definitely could be remastered, but it was also acceptable for my tastes. In the dvd there were options such as: Play, Scenes, Trailers, Commentary, and English. The trailers worked and so did the scene selection, but the commentary and language options are non existent. The main problem that I have with this version is the missing scenes and the misleading menu options.

If you are a kung fu...
