    This is a great classic kung fu movie. There are about 5 minutes of dialog and plot across the entire duration, the rest is just non-stop kung fu. Granted they aren't masters, their technique isn't too bad, and the fight scenes, which occupy the vast majority of screen time, are well done. If you enjoy good old butt-kicking with minimal distraction, then you'll like this movie. If you're looking for a drama or really anything other than 90 strait minutes of kung fu fighting, you're barking up the wrong tree.

    This is a classic kung fu film that has all the great elements of the genre. Infact this film is not good because of the hero, but because of the bad guy. he was so good that the ghost face killer name was adopted by the artist from the wu-tang clan rap group with the same name. u will not regret this awesome movie. this is a must for all kung fu fans.

    This is the film that rapper Ghostface Killah from Wu Tang Clan got his name. Although the dialogue is weak Ninja Checkmate (aka Mystery of Chess Boxing) has good classic martial arts action that's more hands on than today's films which are more computerized. This is one to add to your martial arts collection.
