Watched the full movie Game of Death online. Not my favorite Bruce Lee movie, since it was really a salvage of unfinished sequences that Bruce Lee himself directed before he died. Despite the clever interweaving of scenes from his previous movies, allusions to his real-life situation, and clips from his funeral, the movie suffers from a trite screenplay, horrible dialogue, and B-movie casting comprised mostly of Caucasians. The messages that came across were the proliferation of inferior, white-supremacy moneymaking--and that romance is a burden to any man. It was easy to tell which scenes employed stand-ins. The real movie, of course, was the series of pagoda fight scenes, which Bruce Lee himself carefully crafted. This version was 1:40:50.
