Most people are pissed (and rightly so) that this is Not what Bruce Lee had envisioned the film to be, he died suddenly in 1973 and what remained was just unfinished ideas.
Most of the footage left shot was re-takes after re-takes being Lee was such a perfectionist.

In a Warriors Story documentary, you see the remaining footage edited together nicely in what would have been the ending of the movie.
That being said........the directors of Games of Death did not have access to Lee's notes or what his vision was for the movie, this movie came out in 1978....5 full years after he died, and who knows when they actually started on it...1976? who knows.

What you get is a decent story line, good Amircian actors, good mucic score. Actually the production quality of this movie ranks about the best of any Lee movie (exception Enter the Dragon).

The stand in are good.

If you just watched this movie for the very first time and knew NOTHING about its background, you'd say it wasnt bad at all.

What we get is a directors vision of a movie and uses the last footage of Bruce Lee, to me thats not bad.
I do wish the director used all of the Lee footage, and got them other 2 guys with him back to make it a better movie, but it is what it is.

BUT I must say this.........now that the original Bruce Lee notes and ideas and lost footage has been found.

Please Hollywood.....or Harvest Moon Productions, make a authentic "Games Of Death" to the best of your abilities, making it what Lees vision was. Using todays computer enhancements and technology, Im sure a decent film came be rendered......actually, one could almost make a version themselves on their own personal computer using all the footage available, maybe someone will.

Editorial Review:

This film kicks off as a docudrama exploring the final years of Bruce Lee life, featuring all-new revealing interviews with those who worked with him. The second half is the unseen Game of Death footage in its explosive entirety. Overview: Bruce Lee In G.O.D. kicks off as a docudrama which explores the final years of Bruce Lee life, featuring all-new revealing interviews with those who worked with him. The second half of the film is the real treat: Bruce Lee unseen Game of Death footage in its explosive entirety. Raw, uncut and masterfully edited... just the way Bruce intended it!

His Best Film After Enter The Dragon! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This movie (called Fist Of Fury overseas) was made before Enter The Dragon and, in my opinion, ranks just behind ETD! While all of Bruce's films and fight scenes are legendary, if this one or ETD is on TV, everything stops! LOL!

The plot, like ETD, is very basic. Bruce comes back to his martial arts school to find out his teacher was dead! Not only that, he suspects was murdered and goes on a rampage to avenge his death!

What's interesting is that even though the film is fiction, the teacher was actually a real life person. That character was recently shown in a film by Jet Li called "Fearless."

Back to the movie, what makes this special is Bruce himself. He was electrifying in every scene he was in. While I am still biased to Enter The Dragon, Chinese Connection ranks a close second in my view! Highly recommended!

Helpful opinion 1 out of 5 stars.

When I first bought the 2-sided dvd, I thought cool, I get two movies for a good price, but no. I would stay away from this and highly recommend buying the Box set or Bruce Lee collection, as it is a much better buy. This dvd is unrestored, has no option for subtitles, comes only in fullscreen, has no extra content that I think is worthwhile, and furthermore, both movies were not uncut as in the box set, which I bought later on. So anyways, go for the Bruce Lee Collection instead.

Witness the discovery of raw talent as these matinee idols in the making appear in front of the cameras for the first time, offering an amazing demonstration of the studio system at its height. If you thought the movies themselves were amazing, wait until you see how it first came together in these entertaining, enlightening looks at Hollywood legends in the making! Includes: Mia Farrow's screen test for the role of Liesl von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and her screen test for "Peyton Place," a role she went on to win; newcomer Ann-Margret's 1961 personality test and her screen tests for "State Fair" in which her unmistakable sex appeal won her the role of Emily; Patty Duke's screen test for "Valley of the Dolls" in which she shattered her good girl persona and proved she was capable of a wider range of roles; Raquel Welch's screen test with James Coburn for "Our Man Flint;" Sean Connery's 1957 screen test for "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness;" Marlon Brando in his test for "Viva Zapata!" in 1952; Dustin Hoffman's personality test and stock test in 1966; screen tests to cast the "Batman" duo with Adam West testing with Burt Ward and Lyle Waggoner testing with Peter Deyell; director Robert Wise's marathon search for the children in "The Sound of Music," including the screen tests of Angela Cartwright, Kim Darby and Tish Sterling; rare soundtrack of Christopher Plummer singing "Edelweiss" in "The Sound of Music" as well as the final film version, with vocals by Bill Lee.

Shysters Cash In on Star's Untimely Death 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

For all that is sacred and holy, do not spend money on this atrocity. I came across it because it was included in a budget-priced DVD collection that I picked up, full of old so-bad-they're-good kung fu flicks, but this item isn't even good enough for that crowd. Produced by some hack named Serafim Karalexis, this film is shameless enough to call itself "The Real Bruce Lee" even though it primarily features the look-alikes that movie producers trotted out after Bruce's sudden death in 1973, hoping to make money off a gullible public that was hungry for more of Bruce's incredible martial arts mastery. There were many inferior films (with equally inferior Bruce imitators) that tried to cash in, and this one is among the most brazen.

This so-called "biopic" starts out with a basic life story of Bruce Lee, information that is freely available anywhere, and presents excerpts from some of the Hong Kong films that Bruce appeared in as a child actor in the '40s and '50s. This material might actually be of interest to collectors and historians, but there's not much of it and the video quality is horrendous. Next, the narrator tells us about Bruce's classic films, but accompanied only by still shots of movie posters, and with no actual footage. This means that the clowns behind this biopic couldn't get the rights. And then the ultimate shamelessness commences.

The narrator tells us that Bruce was so great that he spawned many knock-offs, because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. (Bring me a shovel.) After some brief footage of various useless wooden-faced imitators, this film then concludes with 63 minutes (that's right SIXTY-THREE minutes) of action scenes starring another look-alike named Dragon Lee, a crony of Karalexis. Concerning this Dragon Lee, he had some serious martial arts skills and could have been a legitimate star in his own right. But he will be forever remembered as a shallow wannabe who got mixed up with hucksters and charlatans, often imitating the real Bruce's menacing facial expressions but coming up woefully short on Bruce's complex charisma (just like all the other look-alikes). At the end of Dragon Lee's incredibly lengthy on-screen audition, the narrator says, "we all know there is only one Bruce Lee... his memory will live forever." You hear this while watching an imitator, and no image of Bruce himself has been seen since the still movie posters back near the beginning of this travesty. Shameless, pathetic, unforgivable.
