Too much of everything

Awesome Movie

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I will be honest, I have never seen a Bruce Lee film until 2017, with "Enter the Dragon" and I enjoyed that film. As for this one being his last, before his untimely death I have to say it's fun. It falls into the category of being so bad it's good. Hard-core fans don't take it too seriously, and if your like me, you shouldn't. There wasn't much footage to use from the archives, because of what was completed, all of it is in the pagoda; I don't know much about it, I'm not sure if there was even a script, I'm just aware that their are just script notes found. I felt the way director Robert Clouse (Enter The Dragon) did the film was still pretty good; because from what I have heard, he didn't like or at least, care that much for what had been shot five years before. Because according to the director, many movies already copied the same idea, before the film's release! So it's understandable that he wanted to do something different.For what's it's worth I really liked it, it's fun. Even though it's bad, but that's why I like it, because it's bad, and over the top. The main baddie Dr. Lang is differently over the top funny, his laugh is hilarious! I give it a 6/10. Bruce Lee's last film is just pure escapist fun. Give it a look.

for me , it is the film of a single scene. because, from childhood, except the fight between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul - Jabbar, nothing else could be interesting. sure, it is not a sin. because it is the film of the Bruce Lee choreography. because the story is only a pretext. and it is enough for impress a precise target . all is well known from the other films of Bruce Lee. and this fact is the good motif for could not define it as a bad movie. because, from the first scenes, you knows - it is only a large collection of clichés. junk ? off course. but this verdict is less well choice if you do not ignore the contemporary films, with the significant exceptions, from Hollywood.

Although this is best viewed as a curiosity piece, it still manages to pack in some mean martial arts fights during the running time - most of which take place within the last twenty minutes. Up until then, the "entertainment" comes from watching a poor double of Lee trying to hide his face from the camera in any way possible (wearing hats, helmets, huge dark sunglasses, and a fake beard), scenes which are occasionally interspersed with poor stock footage and clips of Lee from other movies to make it look as it he is in the film...at one point his face being pasted onto another actor! GLADIATOR this definitely isn't.Inevitably, due to the fact that Lee was dead before this film was made and that they had to base the story around twenty minutes of fights he had previously filmed, it's a muddled and disjointed affair, but considering what they were up against, I think the editing guys did a pretty good job with this. The best that they could have, at least. Robert Clouse (who had already made his mark with ENTER THE DRAGON) isn't a particularly good director, but he keeps the action flowing smoothly and ensues that things never get boring.Kicking off with some neat self-referencing (Lee fights a young Chuck Norris, in a scene actually filmed for an earlier movie of his yet ripped off here), we are immediately introduced to a diverse group of multi-cultural bad guys for Lee to fight. Yes, the plot is simplistic in the extreme and consists of mostly action-orientated scenes, but it's a solid basis for what is basically a martial arts movie like this. The actors and actresses drafted in to make sense of the plot are totally wasted - Colleen Camp appears and disappears as Lee's on/off girlfriend - yet the fact that they have never actually acted with Lee is quite well hidden.For the first hour, things are pretty average, including the martial arts scenes. However, soon after, the first of some previously unseen fights comes into play, set in a locker room. This is great stuff. Immediately afterwards, Lee fights a HUGE black guy (the difference in their sizes is incredible), which is a superb fight scene. After this, Lee battles yet another baddie, before reverting back to being a double for the ending. These three fights make the film worthwhile, showcasing as they do the best of Bruce Lee's talent and proving that the actor could indeed "fight back from beyond the grave" after all - a fitting tribute to a legendary actor.You've gotta love the zany twist at the end. Lee's double comes across Mr Land, the chief bad guy, and sees that he has committed suicide. However, it turns out that the corpse is a dummy after his fake head is kicked off! Fans with a morbid interest in Lee's death will be interested to see a brief-but-real shot of his corpse in the film - he had a public funeral with an open coffin, and you might have guessed that somebody with a camera would happen to be there at just the right time. One thing I particularly liked was the closing credits, in which a moving tribute to Mr Lee plays over a photograph of him. A fitting end to the great man, in what is a surprisingly enjoyable little film.

Bruce Lee challenges the underworld to a Game of Death. A martial arts movie star (Bruce Lee) and his girlfriend (Colleen Camp) must fake his death to find the people who are trying to kill him . Syndicate boss (Dean Jagger) and his hoodlums (Hugh O'Brian) hire the best foreign martial artists (Robert Wall who played some films with Lee , he had also been slated to appear in the early 1970s version as intended by Bruce) to fight Lee , but he easily finishes them off . The giant American , basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, is also hired and takes place a deadly ending combat .This violent Chop-Socky displays action-packed , thrills , fast-paced and wild fighting images . It is a corny , action-filled and violent film , being filmed in Hong Kong . Breathtaking fights and embarrassing acting , the whole thing was shot without sound, with the actors looping their lines in post-production . Overwhelming final duel between Lee and various fighters , in fact it was last movie to be filmed by Lee . In the film, Bruce Lee's character fakes his own death ; the funeral scene includes real footage of Lee's actual funeral . Bruce Lee had filmed over 30 minutes of fight scenes for this film when work was suspended to allow Lee to work on Enter the dragon . However, Lee died before he could return . Six years later, director Robert Clouse fleshed out a feature around the original footage with a new cast, including two stand-ins for Lee, who faces are hidden by dark sunglasses and shadows. Close-ups and stills of Lee's face -including a cardboard cut-out- were also used.Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Muhammad Ali refused roles in the film because they felt it exploited Bruce Lee's death . And 'Bruce Li' or Ho-Chung Tao was offered the role as 'Bruce Lee's' stand-in, but declined because he said it was disrespectful to Lee . In 1978 was added a footage shot by Bruce Lee ; Dan Inosanto was the only cast member of the original to shoot scenes , the rest of the actors , James Tien, Han Jae Ji, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only feature in archive footage . Hapkido Master Ji Han Jae, who plays the second guardian 'Bruce Lee' battles in the Pagoda/Restaurant, gets no screen credit in the 1978 version of the film. The inspiration for progressively ascending a pagoda tower to fight opponents was originally featured in Chang Cheh's swordplay epic 'Have Sword Will Travel' . The motion picture was lousily realized by director Robert Clouse who wrote the script under the pseudonym Jan Spears .Bruce Lee formerly played one of the biggest international hit smashes , ¨Fist of Fury¨ , it was previously realized to his American box office ¨Enter the dragon¨. This one was made later but released before ¨Lee's Return of dragon¨ , and Lee had formerly starred ¨Fists of fury¨ or ¨The big boss¨. ¨Enter the dragon¨ was realized by an expert on Chop-Socky movies , Robert Clouse , and he directed Bruce Lee's last film , this ¨Game of death¨ . ¨Enter the Dragon¨ is his last complete movie character but his next film ¨ Game of death¨ was absurdly edited after his death .Bruce Lee also realized the Kung-Fu actioner titled ¨Return of Dragon¨ . His last picture was ¨Game of death ¨ , it is indispensable and essential seeing for Lee fans and Karate enthusiastic for its last 20 minutes . It is not ¨Enter the Dragon¨ but his fans -who have so few to choose from- undoubtedly will want to see it again .
