Supposed Laserdisc Release of the Film

We were recently contacted by a Johnathan Smith about the possession of the American cut of the film. He claims that he doesn't have it on 8mm but rather laserdisc of all things. This is most likely a hoax as it would take around 6 laserdiscs to have a complete copy of the film on the format, but regardless, this film is so rare that we can't pass up the offer to try to find it. However, we are still negotiating a price out with him. Hopefully, we will have the film soon.

Some New Leads Regarding The Films Spliced Into King Of Chess

An anonymous source has given us a few possible leads as to what films were spliced into the original King of Chess for this release. Here are some possible examples:

It's a Drink! It's a Bomb! (1985)

The Cat (1992)

Little Hero (1978)

Devil Fetus (1983)

The Miracle Fighters (1982)

That's about all we know for now. We must also remind you that these are only possibly in the film, and there is probably more movies spliced into the final film. Sorry for not really having any more information to give out, but this is all we have for now.

Rumors On The Internet

About a week ago, I was asking around about this film. Finally, I got a reply:


I had a friend once who thought he'd found it, but it was only a three and a half hour excerpt. But on the packaging they had a lot of details about what was on the full version, there were eight different commentaries and the director's cut was seven hours long.

Later, he corrected himself saying the directors cut was actually nine hours long. Of this is true, this is the longest film to be released on 8mm. All I can say is that if this is true, its a big deal. I'll keep in contact with this guy. If I get any other leads, I'll let you guys know.
