If you missed it last month, you get one more chance. Dan has the ONLY known 35mm print of this movie. Plus, you can grow your Wu Tang clan background knowledge for the upcoming trivial pursuit hip-hop edition.
From Dan Halsted/Grindhouse:
Tuesday night at 9:30 at the Hollywood Theatre, cheer on the fight against the Ghostface Killer! The Grindhouse Film Festival presents an encore screening of THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING. This is the only known 35mm print of one of the greatest kung fu movies ever made. Here's one more chance to see it before it's filed into the vault.
THE MYSTERY OF CHESS BOXING (1979) 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. A true classic, and obvious favorite of the Wu Tang Clan, directed by Joseph Kuo (SEVEN GRANDMASTERS)
