Game Of Death
''The Game of Death'' (Chinese: 死亡的遊戲) is an incomplete Hong Kong martial arts film, filmed between August and October 1972, directed, written, produced by and starring Bruce Lee, in his final film project. Lee died during the making of the film. Over 100 minutes of footage was shot prior to his death, which was later misplaced in the Golden Harvest archives. The remaining footage has since been released with Lee's original Cantonese and English dialogue, with John Little dubbing Lee's Hai Tien character as part of the documentary titled '' Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey''. Much of the footage that was shot is from what was to be the climax of the film. During filming, Lee received an offer to star in ''Enter the Dragon'', the first kung fu film to be produced by a Hollywood studio ( Warner Bros.), and with a budget unprecedented for the genre ($850,000). Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
