     Please excuse the recent hiatus, I was robbed on the streets of Hong Kong by a gang of gun-smuggling ruffians. I'm actually writting this at some public library right now. Anyways, back to King of Chess. It turns out the man who supposedly had the tape actually had sold it and an entire box full of old VHS tapes to his old landlord to pay his rent back in 1996. He did, however, give us a lead as to where that man could be, though. Hopefully I will soon find my passport agian so I can get out of here.

After searching high and low, we have found that all copies on 8mm have been destroyed. This is because Golden Princess Films was so furious with the 8mm's distributor's edits made for the Americanization of the film that the ended the deal with them and ordered them to pull all copies off the shelves and have them never be seen again. However, this doesn't mean the film is totally lost. Most likely the higher-ups who were flabbergasted by the American Cut most likely saw it on a VHS, which would have been easier to ship over due to durability. This VHS, if it exists, is most likely the only copy left of this cut.
