Game of Death (1978)
7/10
Horrible plot, excellent fight scenes.
27 January 2006
I have seen this movie not less that 20 times, a record tiles for me on a single movie. If you are interested in a fight scene then you should watch the whole movie. If are interested in watching Bruce Lee then skip the crap to the last 20min. If you are looking for a story or a plot then you have picked up the wrong movie. The plot apparently is totally different from what the Master had in his mind! He never planned to appear as a movie star who gets nearly assassinated by a gang and then decided to take revenge. I saw a documentary about the original Tower of Death (Game of Death) with Bruce lee's voice in it. It was filled with Bruce Lee's jokes.

Anyway, being a martial artist myself, and although all of Bruce Lee's fight scenes in the movie were great, but I think the best fight scene was that of the Bruce Lee's double with Carl Miller in the change room. That was incredible, the fight scene features one of the most difficult kicks in martial arts ( and no! I am not talking about the edited repetitive kicks at the end of the scene); the double really got it very well.

I gave it 7 for the fight scenes only, forget the story line or character building.
