Customer Reviews of Game of Death
there's no reflection I would like to say this movie is a perfect example of people not knowing when to leave something alone. If only Linda Lee Cadwell, Bruce's wife when he was alive, had had sole rights to the movie footage; because it should have never been completed. I respect the life and memory of Bruce Lee and this disrespectful and greedy attempt to make a profit is disgusting. It's likened to cinematic grave robbing. For the movie itself, Bruce can be seen in action and coming into his own with respect to style and production individuality, as well as being a film star and filmmaker in his own right, with regard to the fight scenes which include him. Overall, the film is disenchanting to say the least. With all due respect to the other actors and actresses, they hold together a badly directed and otherwise disgusting production. The only reason to purchase this movie would be to see Bruce Lee, which is why it was completed anyway. The value of having fight scenes featuring Bruce, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Chuck Norris, and Dan Innosanto (a personal freind and Martial Arts student of Bruce), and a few other scenes which contain the original footage is innescapable. You must buy it to see it, but you have to be a true fan. The scenes filmed before the halt in original production, in order to redirect efforts for the filming of "Enter the Dragon", are classic Bruce Lee. Sadly he died soon thereafter and actually never veiwed the final cut of "Enter the Dragon" himself, which is widely regarded as the best Martial Arts movie ever filmed. Due to his death, "Game of Death" was left unfinished, except for the approximate 20 minutes of previous fight scene footage. The movie was later resumed and completed with some original cast members but lacks direction and is a sheer disappointment to all Bruce Lee fans, but, if you have to see Bruce, it's worth the 20 minutes to those he inspires. There's no reflection that duplicates a man that stood alone!
Bruce Lee's best along with Enter the Dragon
I can see why so many Bruce Lee fans are offended with Game of Death. True, it didn't fully capture Bruce Lee's work due to his untimely death; however, the film itself is a good martial arts flick. I was impressed by the fight scenes displayed by Bruce Lee himself and the plot of the movie was not too bad either. I would strongly suggest getting the ultimate platnum region 2 DVD version of Game of Death with the restored footage of Bruce Lee's battles that were not included in the original movie. If you can't find it, then get "Bruce Lee-A Warrior's Journey" because that DVD not only has the lost footage on Game of Death but also has interviews with Bruce Lee about his personal life, doing martial arts flicks, etc... Though I have never actually seen A Warior's Journey, it is good based on reviewers who are Bruce Lee fans or people who just want to see the lost footage from Game of Death.
DO NOT BUY THIS FILM (READ THIS)
This film is an insult to everything Bruce Lee was. And they didn't even use all of the available fight footage. Instead, pick up "Bruce Lee - A Warrior's Journey". It contains all of the original fight footage Bruce shot, along with a VERY in depth documentary covering his whole life. If you are a Bruce Lee or kung fu fan, that dvd is a must-have. Not this one.
