The spirit of Bruce Lee, and Game of Death redux
10 December 2020
This is a very good documentary that deals with Bruce Lee's life, his philosophy, and his movies. The most interesting and longest segment is that which focuses on Game of Death, the film that was supposed to be Bruce's masterpiece, but which became an unfortunate mishmash because the star himself died before the filming was finished. In this documentary we learn that years later some lost archive footage from the filming sessions was found, and the makers of this documentary have carefully re-constructed an extended version of the final battle of Game of Death. It's amazing that this material exists because in the final movie a lot of that was not used, and instead there were all kind of random stuff with other actors. So, if you're a fan of Bruce Lee and you've perhaps already seen all of his official feature films, then you absolutely have to see this one too. Also suitable for casual viewers who perhaps aren't yet so familiar with Bruce Lee but would like to learn. It's a great glimpse of the personality and philosophy of one of the greatest martial artists of our times.
