For all those whom are Bruce lee fans, you probably know that in 1972, prior to the filming of Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee began work on a project titled ‘Game of Death’. The basis of the story was that Lee’s sister and brother were kidnapped by a Gang and Lee was told if he wanted to see them again he would have to defeat four (or five depending on which version you have heard of) guards in a 5 pagoda to obtain some treasure at the top. The four guards were all supposedly masters of a certain style except the top guard (Kareem). Bruce was going to use this film to demonstrate his new findings in the errors or Chinese Gung Fu and his own style Jeet Kun do (the way of the intercepting fist) and how using a more formless and destylized way of fighting makes it so you can counterattack any movement an opponent makes. This was never completed. Only various outdoor shots and the final 3 fight scenes were filmed, and after time, disappeared. In 1973, 3 weeks before the release of Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee unfortunately passed away and the filmed was released in 1978 with a new plot, only 10 minutes of the Lee footage, and a double for the rest of the film. It sucked. It was a complete and utter disaster that did nothing more than stain Lee’s good name.

Well… heres my project.

I plan to use footage from the G.O.D. storyline video, The documentary ‘A Warrior’s Journey’, Enter the Dragon, the 1978 Game of Death and The documentary ‘Bruce Lee: Legend’ to reconstruct the closest possible film to what Bruce had wanted.

Footage -

New opening credits
Footage from GOD storyline featuring Bruce’s character (played by another actor) at the ariport and his sister and brother being kidnapped
Bruce at the Gang hideout talking to boss and learning of his plan (also from the GOD storyline video)
Footage of the bosses plan and bosses henchmen training (GOD Storyline)

I’m currently still looking for the Bruce Lee: Legend Documentary but I have all of the other footage needed. Let me get some feedback, I hope there are some Lee fans out on this board who also think he deserves a cut of the original story.

Peace.
