Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I'm 24 years old and I watched Bruce Lee movies when I was even 4 years old. This movie Game of Death was usually Bruce's own movie including script, choreo, main role and production. I hate Hollywood for ruining the Game of Death ideology. Bruce's ideology of this movie was to fight against the best martial artist around the world independent of height, weight, culture and and and. The script was good y'all should google it. I'm glad they saved and dropped rare footage material around 45 minutes including the full fight against Kareem Abdul Jabar ( that's not even everything at all just search for the real Game of Death Movie, so let's get back to this disaster movie ) . Robert Clouse reluctance quality was responsible for that flop. I don't insult dead people so I hold myself back, but honestly he totally destroyed the movie. The storyline, the embarrassing double and fight scenes are terrible. The most awkward points was the camera and the motions I mean don't come up with excuses like it was 1978. It's Hollywood and they had more budget than they deserved and what did Clouse with the budget ?!?! He represents us motions and footage of Bruce Lee's former movies just to hide the doubles face in many scenes from different ankles. THAT WAS EMBARRASSING for the whole world and Bruce Lee fans. Here we go with final points they are so many more points but I guess not many people will read this review. THEY JUST STREAM 15 minutes of Bruce Lee's footage from 1972 and they even cut many scenes from it. Where is the sense ?! Where is the last dignity / majesty for the legend Bruce Lee ? There is no way Bruce would let a movie go like this and end that way. You should all watch his other 4 movies and the OG Game of Death but it's in your hands so decide. I wouldn't watch this crap again. I wish Bruce was still alive. It's a f*cking shame how Hollywood treated all the time. RIP BRUCE LEE

I really enjoyed Game Of Death. I really love the scenes that Bruce Lee shot for this movie. You have to give credit for the makers trying they best finishing this movie, it wasn't easy as they had build a story around 40 minutes roughly of fight footage that Bruce Lee was included and many other stars from previous movies. The directors obviously didn't make the movie Bruce Lee would wanted it. But they gave it a interesting plot which I really enjoyed watching. Its completely different from the original plot, but still enjoyable. Make sure you see the original footage Bruce Lee shot which is extended from the 1978 version of the movie. You can find it on YouTube or an documentary Warriors Journey which also contain outtakes.

I think every Bruce Lee fan will automatically think disgrace when one brings up Game of Death, but honestly, it's not that bad.I actually love this movie. Yeah, I know using stock footage of the guy to complete the film isn't the best idea, but they had nothing else to work with. They used it to make it look like he was actually there, which is fine, but sometimes, the stock footage reveals that Lee isn't really there. Examples are the post-credits scene, where they just use the scene from Way of the Dragon where Lee's character beats up Chuck Norris' character, Colt; and the scene where Billy gets shot, in which they use the ending of Fist of Fury. I think most people will think those clips belong in different movies.This film has awesome fight scenes, with my favorite being the scene where Billy beats up Stick in the rain. The triumphant music, awesome fight moves, and the rain setting make it a pretty good fight. I like the choreography of this movie. There's lots of kicks, punches, and flips to satisfy you. But the one fight scene that lacks is the locker room fight. I think it's a bit cartoony (case in point: The part where Billy repeatedly kicks Killer Miller.) Another fight scene that's a bit lacking is the fight with Steiner, because there's this one scene in particular where "Steiner" kicks Billy, but the leg belongs to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I think the guys behind this movie knew that they couldn't use stock footage of Lee all throughout the movie to make him look like he's present, so they used a double and put him in shades, which look like the same shades the real Bruce Lee wore. Clever. But I can agree with most Bruce Lee fans that the scene with Billy's funeral is real disgraceful. They use actual footage of Bruce Lee's funeral. And there's actually a part in this scene where they show a clip of the actual dead Bruce Lee. What a disgrace. But at least later in the movie, where the bad guys dig up his grave, you just see a fake head, rather than showing us a picture of a dead Bruce Lee.Anyways, this review felt all over the place. I recommend that you see this movie. It has great action scenes, excellent music, good villains, and they use the footage that Lee shot for his version of Game of Death quite well. An example is the scene where Billy's friend, Jim is telling him a story at the restaurant about something the bad guys did to someone, where they use footage from the original Game of Death, which features a character from that version getting strangled to death by Kareem. It's cool that they used that scene there since that character wasn't written into this version.

What an absolutely debacle this film is, the film makers bastardized Bruce Lee's original concept and turned it into something akin to the old Three Stooges movies! There are not enough words in the English language or any other I would wager to express how awful this movie is and what a travesty it makes of the whole concept. It is completely unfathomable why they took what would have been a unique idea, and turned it into.. well, this. I cannot imagine a worse way to capitalize on someone's death than this, and what an insulting way to remember a man who fought so hard to end the stereotypes of atrocious martial arts movies and to create meaningful work. I think the makers of this film should be ashamed of the mess they made of this.
