Member SunChien Posted March 6, 2010 Member Share Posted March 6, 2010 During the film, there's a part where Li I Min's character goes back to the school to ask about the cook (Simon Yuen) and the two guys at the door tell him he's dead, just wondering is there a full uncut version where they show him getting killed and secondly how did Li I Min get beaten up? As in the next scene when he's talking to Jack Long, he's got bruises on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ninja Sinai Posted March 12, 2010 Member Share Posted March 12, 2010 I remember I once brought this up in a conversation with Linn on this exact same issue.. and he said there maybe a version that had the fight between Ghost Face Killer vs The Cook (Yuen Siu Tin), that shows The Cook getting killed, followed Lee Yi Min getting beaten up by several people. He told me that Joseph Kou had about several different versions for most of his movies, all with extra screnes that other versions didnt have, and different edits etc. Heck I know ive seen at least 3 different versions of World Of The Drunken Master, with different endings, different edits, and extra scenes. However I doubt any English collector has the version of Mystery Of Chess Boxing with the said fight scenes. NOW that is one RARE that I WOULD def pay £100 for!!!!

Member wigsplitta Posted March 13, 2010 Member Share Posted March 13, 2010 There's a time-coded, widescreen, mandarin version with eng subs floating about that claims to be uncut. I'm thinking that I got a copy of this years ago. Will try and locate it, give it a watch and let ya know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member wigsplitta Posted March 21, 2010 Member Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yep, unfortunately I can confirm the same. Just watched the version that i've had for years, and it doesn't have any extra scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member peringaten Posted March 22, 2010 Member Share Posted March 22, 2010 The fullscreen runs like this, the timecoded wide does & so did the print I saw on reels at a cinema screening... That's three different versions. I guess it just runs like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Bronx Rican Posted March 22, 2010 Member Share Posted March 22, 2010 Obviously, anything could have happened with flicks like these floating around the world in various cuts, but even with all the matchups in this flick, I don't believe there was a fight with Simon Yuen. Remember how they played out the aftermath: Ghost makes a production out of crossing off the cook's name from his list, and then they cut to the cook's dead body; I'm sure that was intentional. As for the second one, looks like a big, fat continuity error, but someone went through the trouble of giving Li the "beat up" makeup, so there had to be a related scene somewhere that was cut.
