- Synopsis:
When Bruce Lee died in 1973, he had been working on one more film, which he wrote and directed as well as starred in: 'The Game of Death'. Only a third of the project was filmed before Lee's death, and much of the footage sat in Golden Harvest's vaults for years until being rediscovered, along with Lee's original script notes, in the late-1990s. Lee's original storyline is very differenttothe 1978film ofthe same name: here, aformer champion fighter (Lee) is blackmailed by a Korean crime boss to fight his way up a remote pagoda, in order to steal a priceless treasure from the top floor. To get up there, Lee has to contend with a different guardian on each floor, each one trained in the deadliest fighting arts known to man. Now, for the very first time, we are thrilled to present all two hours of Lee's original footage - including the long-presumed-lost 'log fight' between Dan Inosanto and Chieh Yuan - with a new narration explaining Lee's original concept in detail, as well as the project's fascinating origins and tragic ending. - Actors:
