Yuen Biao?

Looks like him, Biao was one of the three doubles, with his speciality being acrobatic moves.

Now, about the story they ended up using... I hate it! The reason being primarily, Chow initially told people Lee had no script or story available; (we now know it was more than likely KEPT from him, by Lee.) However, the "rising MA /Filmstar, being pursued by The Underworld" story arc-to me, struck a tad too close to home, for me.

Factor in these elements:

 

He has a Caucasian girlfriend (who also happens to be in the business)

Drives a Mercedes

Walks around town in Ray Bans and flowery Italian Designed Fashions

Has a journalist confidant by the name MARSHALL (Lee's attorney's name was Adrian Marshall)

Accidents on movie sets-set-lights falling, nearly smashing the star-(mimicking the possibility certain accidents during ETD may not have been all that accidental)

Lastly, the inclusion of the star's actual corspe in the final cut-beyond comprehension!

 

Boy, the more you think about it, they really stunk it up!

:sad:

I'm surprised this isn't brought up or rarely is, anytime Game of Death 78 is reviewed. Close to home indeed.

My favourite non Bruce Lee fight scene from 78 Game of death,what’s yours?

I'm not sure off the top of my head but if it counts, maybe the Casanova Wong fight, that's in some versions of Game of Death but better known for it's use in versions of Tower of Death.

Billy vs Carl Miller!

The scene noted snake oil salesman Bob Wall onced claimed was filmed half by Bruce Lee. The people, many of whom are gullible to a fault, aren't complete mouth breathing idiots to believe that. Bob Wall cemented his fate with the gesture of false delirium.

Colleen Camp, the girlfriend of "Billy Lo" was in a movie called 'Death Game' in '77, which was remade years later as 'Knock, Knock' starring Keanu Reeves and 2 Latina babes.

For Ms. Camp she went from Death Game to Game of Death almost back-to-back and a producer and a cameo in the Reeves remake.

It's Biao 100 percent. He also does the jumping spinning kick counter that knocks Wall into the door, and one or two other moves.

Golden Sun reminds me of the Bruceploitation film of the same name.
