Description of this Game of Death Poster
Game of Death is an incomplete Hong Kong martial arts film, shot between August and October 1972, directed, written, produced, and starring Bruce Lee, in his final film project. Lee died during the filming of the film. Over 100 minutes of footage was shot before 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. Most of the sequences shot were those that were to constitute the film’s climax.
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.), with an unprecedented budget for the genre ($850,000). Lee died of cerebral edema before the film’s release. At the time of his death, he had planned to resume filming The Game of Death. After Lee’s death, Enter the Dragon director Robert Clouse was hired to finish the film using two stunt doubles; The film was released in 1978 under the title Game of Death, five years after Lee’s death, by Golden Harvest.
The story of Lee’s original 1972 film involves Lee’s character, in order to save his younger sister and brother, joining a group of martial artists who are hired to recover a stolen Chinese national treasure from the top floor of a five-story pagoda in South Korea, each floor guarded by martial artists who must be defeated while climbing the tower. [The plot of the 1978 film was changed to a revenge story, where the mafia attempts to kill Lee’s character, who fakes his death and seeks revenge on those who tried to kill him. The final part of the film reworks some of Lee’s original footage, but the pagoda setting has been replaced by a restaurant, where he fights martial artists hired by the mafia in an attempt to save his fiancée Ann Morris (played by Colleen Camp). This revised version received mixed critical reception but was commercially successful, grossing an estimated US$50,000,000 (equivalent to US$220,000,000 in 2022) worldwide.
This is an influential film that has had a significant cultural impact. The concept of the original version, which involves climbing a tower while defeating enemies on each level, has been highly influential and has inspired numerous action films and video games. The film is also known for Lee’s iconic yellow and black jumpsuit and his fight scene with NBA player and college student Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, both of which have been featured in numerous media outlets.
