Summary: Ninja Checkmate aka "The Mystery of Chess Boxing"
Comment: This has action all the way through - if you walk away you'll miss something! The dubs were way off in some scenes though! A scene towards the end of the movie was cut off (Martial Arts Theater's Version). During the scene when Simon Yuen ran to tell his master that the Ghost-faced Killer had killed a teacher from another school, his face was scratched up and he looked liked he suffered a serious beatdown. But from whom? You never see this part in the movie. If scenes are going to be cut out the editors should make sure it wouldn't be missed during the scenes following. Otherwise, this was very enjoyable and action-filled. A must have for hardcore old school martial arts fans.
I also agree. What's up with the title, "Ninja Checkmate"? No ninjas in sight - not one. The Mystery of Chess Boxing unfolded during the last fighting scene. The previous name was better of course.

Summary: !!!CLASSIC!!!!!
Comment: This movie is definitely one of the best of the wutang collection. A true Old school Classic. Mystery of the Chess boxing features the most infamous Kung fu villain "Ghostface Killer". The movie has everything you're looking for. Fighting, hilarious comedy, and more fighting. The plot is simple. "Gostface killer" hunts down kung fu masters who tried to kill him years ago. He goes on a killing spree with his deadly 5 element kung fu. Great choreographed fights, diplaying many techniques even the Ying Yang style.
Bottom line is, if you are starting a kung fu collection, Mystery of chess boxing should be one of your first purchases.
Best Quote of the movie: "I'm a killer thats why, and killers don't die so easily".
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fight Filled
Comment: This movie has so many fights you probably don't even need to jump to the next scene. In addition, the styles and techniques are outrageously good that you have to watch the movie over and over to catch it all. If you want a kung fu movie with little talk and lots of fights, this is it.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: I found the mystery of chess boxing to
be one of the best if not the best wu-tang collection you will view . you will not be disappoint with your purchase... A word of advice stay far away from the ku-fu stand in king's plaza mall in Brooklyn nothing but trouble. Enjoy the Movie....
Customer Rating:
Summary: More of a comedy than a good kung fu movie.
Comment: This movie had me almost coughing up my pizza! However I must warn that it is more along the lines of MST 3000. The fighting-ridiculous, the dubbing- even worse, but trust me this one easily takes the cake in the "Golden Turkey Award" category. Definately not a "Master Killer" by any means, but well worth the investment for some fun on a rainy day!
