Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent but underrated film

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie is a disgrace to the memory of the Little Dragon. It should/would have been the movie that showed Bruce's philosophy on Martial Arts. Instead it is simply a cash in on his death and fame. There are so many laugh out loud moments, but in truth, the movie isn't meant to be a comedy. The stand in(s) for Bruce are almost passable, but lack any real screen presence. Whoever dubbed the cat calls for Bruce's character was obviously told by somebody what to do and had never actually seen or heard Bruce do it. The original fight scenes are so chopped there is barely anything left of them. The inclusion of actual footage from Bruce's funeral is tacky at best. The ending is so abrupt, it's like they didn't know how to end the movie (the Asian version is only slightly better). Raymond chow must have been laughing all the way to the bank when he purchased the unfinished movie rights from Bruce's wife Linda for a paltry sum.Avoid at all costs. If you really want to see something resembling Bruce's vision, watch 'A Warriors Journey'.

That score of 5/10, is for all the scenes Mr. Lee is actually in. Bruce Lee passed away in 1973, during a pretty significant era for martial art movies. In 1972-73 Bruce began writing, directing and starring in his own movie "Game of Death". However, he put the project on hold to star in Hollywood's first ever big budget martial art movie "Enter The Dragon" (1973), the film that made him famous. Unfortunately, Bruce had died under mysterious circumstances a month before the premiere, also leaving "Game of Death" half-finished. "Enter the Dragon" director Robert Clouse made it his mission to try and complete "Game of Death", using newly cut footage as well as the old. Released in 1978, the film is an editing disaster.They super-imposed objects over old Bruce Lee footage, and use what's been rumoured a cardboard cutout of Bruce's face when "he" is looking at a mirror scene. All whilst continuously hiding the double for Bruce Lee behind both big black glasses, a beard and using footage from Bruce Lee's ACTUAL funeral! Like I said, the movie is a complete catastrophe. However, the things I do enjoy are: 1. Though Bruce never really managed to explain why he was wearing that yellow jumpsuit, it became a pop-culture phenomenon and a re-imagining of it was worn by Uma Thurman's character at the end of "Kill Bill Vol.1" (2003). 2. Lee's footage is superior in every way compared to Clouse's, and Bruce has some of his best one on one fights ever with Basketball superstar Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Kung Fu master Taky Kimura. Finally during end credits I always get sentimental, because it shows footage from Bruce's earlier classics to Colleen Camp & John Barry's 'Will This Be the Song I'll Be Singing Tomorrow?'. It's a very emotional and solemn send off to the icon.Final Verdict: As I said earlier, the 5/10 goes to the stuff Bruce shot. It's an incredible end to an incredible person, and fans across the globe have tried to use his footage and complete "Game of Death" their own way. Who knows if someone could eventually do it justice?

I did not watch this film completely, only the 20 minute fight scene with Bruce Lee on the three different levels. I have no idea what the Director and/or Producer was thinking by adding real footage of Bruce Lee's funeral in Hong Kong. To include this, was a dishonour to Mr. Lee and family in my opinion. Overall, this film is a complete mess. I only give it '2-stars' for the fighting scene with Bruce Lee himself, and not the stand-in actor. It's unfortunate that Bruce Lee wasn't able to finish this film, but sadly went into other hands. I believe his son Brandon Lee was quoted that only 20 minutes of it is good, but the rest is crap! My suggestion is, skip this film and watch Bruce Lee at his finest in "Enter the Dragon" on Blu-ray.

i am a huge bruce lee fan, i love his four movies, sure the acting isn't great, and the production values are low, but the fight scenes have yet to be bettered. now bruce lee was working on a movie before he died called 'game of death' and that movie had a completely different storyline to this movie, and this movie only has about 1o mins of around 40 mins of footage, and they don't even use the best of it, instead they rely on stupid doubles that look nothing like bruce lee, they crudly use a cut out of his face on a mirror, and the editing is bad, the only decent thing about the movie is the bruce lee fight scenes, there great sure, but now you can buy game of death as it was meant to be, and its much better than this piece of crap even if it isn't a full movie, go and get it now, its included in the game of death platinum edition 2 disc from hong kong legends, its a must buy for bruce lee fans, this movie though is a disrepectful movie to him, even using footage of his real funeral, have some respect man
