Found it more informative, than most BL books I own combined. I cant see this book getting an English translation anytime soon?.

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted November 27, 2018 Member Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) For those not aware, Unsettled Matters is available in its entirety at Nick Clarke's forum. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/bruceleelivestributeforum/viewtopic.php?f=256969&t=341&p=1568&hilit=Unsettled+matters#p1568 It's easily the most controversial of any Bruce Lee book, among the passages: [To fully understand the afternoon of July 20, 1973, it is important to understand how Bruce Lee's last movie Game of Death, which was filmed posthumously, came into existence. Following the completion of The Way of the Dragon and before the start-up of Enter the Dragon, recall that Bruce, around October 1972, shot several fight sequences in Hong Kong with his foremost student Dan Inosanto, Lakers basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and hapkido master Ji Han Jai. This footage was shot on the spur of the moment and without a script.When Enter the Dragon was given a green light in late November 1972, the fight footage Bruce had shot with Inosanto, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Master Ji Han Jai was placed in cold storage at Golden Harvest. Technically the footage was owned jointly by Raymond Chow, who supplied the camera equipment and sets, and Bruce Lee, who supplied the talent.Incontrovertibly, had Bruce not died, this footage would have never found its way onto the movie screen anywhere in the world. There are several reasons for this. Topping the list, Bruce did not look physically well. As a result of having temporarily discontinued his use of anabolic steroids, which he did not resume until December 1972 in preparation for Enter the Dragon in January 1973, Bruce had again shed nearly twenty pounds of muscle, and his face looked gaunt and pale. To many, the sight of Bruce wearing a washed-out yellow jumpsuit that hung on him like a wet dishrag was heartbreaking. It was hardly coincidental that Game of Death was the only film starring Bruce Lee in which he did not appear bare-chested.] It is noted as the lone source alleging Bruce Lee used anabolic steroids. Of course at the time Game of Death was filmed, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still played for the Milwaukee Bucks. He had yet to be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
