I haven't personally viewed the footage, but I believe there will be a much better quality version somewhere.

Is it this footage?

 

That’s the footage but what I saw (or think I saw)was colour.From what I have read in the past Robert Lee owns the original colour footage.👍

The alternative black & white footage has been circulating online since the early noughties. If any colour footage had been posted on YouTube, I'm sure more fans would have shared it?.

I know,that’s what I keep thinking. Maybe I’m just seeing something that wasn’t there(I’m getting to old for this shit)😀😀

One can hear Bruce's voice in the background. Seems to be a Game of Death rehearsal for the outdoor footage.

 

Hi @alexandergrady, thats what it is, it was filmed the day Dan Inosanto arrived in Hong Kong for Game of Death. It was recorded at Bruce Lee 's Cumberland Road home, I think he was filming from the balcony?. The other guy with Dan is Wu Ngan.

Yeah, he must have been filming from the balcony. It also has the same perspective as the Game of Death outdoor footage with Dan in the New Territories. I wonder who got hold of this footage and posted it...I don't believe it's in any of the documentaries.

It might be rehearsals for the outdoor scenes that were filmed in the New Territories?.

I don't know who shared it online?, but I think it was Robert Lee who originally owned the footage?. Collector David Tadman is said to have a pristine copy of this footage also. It's not featured in any Bruce Lee documentary.

I thought it was a secret recording of a private showing? Does anyone know what the Japanese text says?

Roughly:

'This video is a rehearsal from the/(Bruce Lee's) last work, Game of Death. Bruce Lee reshot takes until he was satisfied.'
