  • Here is an attempt at restoring the Game of Death footage from A Warrior's Journey, using the footage from "Bruce Lee In G.O.D". Of course, it's not frame accurate due to the two versions using alternate footage... but it's as close as we can get.

      KontryBoy706 Its unfortunate that Bruce Lee was never able to finish what fans claim to been his best film. The Game of Death (1978) had a different storyline then the original, which is this, or at least the climax. I really wished Bruce had not died so young. To this day, Bruce Lee fans are stuck with "what if?" scenarios.

      However, when I learned of the original plot of Game of Death, I thought it was a shame it wasn’t finished. Game of Death was Bruce’s vision of the ultimate martial arts movie in my opinion.
      Even thought that he was supposed to double down on what worked with Way of the Dragon: minimalist dialog, more tension and more technical fight sequences, and less hokey plot.

      His fights with Sammo Hung, Bob Wall (whom I met) and the palace guards were awesome but he was mostly fighting stunt men - great ones at that - but not many trained martial artists of Guro Inosanto or Ji Han Jae's caliber... except for Wall and Tadashi Yamashita who only had a cameo but no fight scenes.
      For GOD, his co star was going to be George Lazenby who was 007 in "From Her Majesty's Secret Service" so that could have been fantastic.
      Besides, the tempo of filming ETD was what caused him to die from heat stroke. If he had started on it AFTER completing GOD, he might still be alive.

      This looks like the warriors journey cut. Bought this when it was first released. I was, and am, grateful to see any version of the footage but to be fair when people say about it being a good edit it’s really not. It feels padded for every second. There’s action and the longest breaks when possible to bring up length of the piece. As I said it’s amazing to see and we can start to guess where it would have gone but these years later it feels so slow. I’d love a release just showing the footage with all alt takes and info and interviews etc to flesh the potential out this unfinished masterpiece.

      They made that clear in the comments to the video. There are moments where it’s not in perfect sync (even beyond the original Warrior’s Journey because that wasn’t perfect either, all the audio being dubbed in post as was the practice of the time) because the footage they’re using is occasionally slightly different. There’s many outtakes of the scenes available.

      @E.P. The Dreamer. I never heard he was the founder but something like an 8th degree. I did read an interview with Jim where he said he thought at first Bruce was just an actor. "I was a trainer of Korean armed forces." A good guess is that he taught elite groups. "...but he shocked me. You see where he breaks my back on his knee? He lifted me up like I was weightless. I weighed 180 lbs. and he was around 130. But he lifted me again and again without tiring!" Another interview is that Bruce's intensity was as they were really fighting. He didn't want to make another film with Bruce because of that.

    This is a cool little editing experiment. I much prefer the Warriors Journey Cut, because the flow and editing was better, but the footage wasn’t in the best shape at that time. The GOD cut had better footage quality, but I think the editing wasn’t great, probably because they tried to remaster/restore the picture quality of those footage as much as they could but had to cut out some.

    I wonder what was with the other two allies, as they act rather antagonistic towards Bruce. I’m assuming they’re jealous of his fighting abilities.
    In the original script, there were originally 5 of them in all. The other two were obviously defeated (possibly killed) on the 1st or 2nd level of the pagoda. The 1st floor fighter was a master of a style that specializes in kicking, and the 2nd floor fighter used a Praying Mantis style.

While Chieh Yuan's (the dude with a black kimono) character is kinda simple minded fellow and more like a comic relief but a better fighter and thinks he can defeat all the opponents by himself or lead his team successfully without antagonizing Lee.

    I hate how they used no one like him for the ‘78 version, Bruce Lee’s original concept for “The Game Of Death” he was supposed to be playing something like a retired martial arts champion named Hai Tien, he would be confronted by the Korean underworld, told that there would be some secret treasure at the top of a 5 story pagoda. in the same pagoda you see in the video. But he would not want to do it until his brother and sister are kidnapped. Later after Bruce Lee’s death, they decided to make the same movie but a whole different storyline for the movie, Hai Tien’s name was later changed to Billy Lo.
