Not bad4
It was a great shame that the legendary Bruce Lee didn't complete Game of Death,on his version.I've seen footage that had been planned,and it looked really good.The original story was his character had been approached by a crime syndicate,to fight their way to the top of a famous tower,where a great treasure was there.He refuses,so the bad guys kidnap his sister,and her young son to force him to co-operate.Sadly,that story never materialised.In this version,he plays a famous martial arts movie star,being hounded by the Mob.Faking his own death,he goes after them with full fury.Personally,I'd recommend the platinum double disc edition.Even so,with Bruce doing the fight scenes,they are awesome.He's still a big miss today.

Game of Death3
As a huge fan of Bruce Lee movies I had to see this film even though its been hounded as a terrible film. I can see why people hate this, mainly because alot of the scenes use a Bruce Lee look alike and then in the close ups cut to footage of different Bruce lee Films (alot of them look really fake and make the film seem very cheaply made but there are a few good ones though, like in the fight scene in the locker room!). The film would have been better if they just used Billy Lo without the close ups of the real Bruce. Billy Lo is actually very good in his fight scenes but still nowhere near as good as Bruce.

This is a must see however for the actual footage that Bruce shot for this film. The fight sequences he made are amazing and must be seen by any martial arts fan.

John Barry provides a brilliant score and in my opinion its one of his best along with Zulu and Last Valley.
