I think this is from an earlier version of the fight. Yeah, I think old Bob might have told the truth with this one. Sammo's "pow powder" is all over Wall's hands and chest. You wouldn't use that for promo pics. Now our goal is to get a hold of the alternate fight scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be surprised if it has been lost in the Golden Harvest archives. My question is what deleted/archive footage would they have used for Lee's close up in this version of the scene? Nothing in ETD or the deleted ETD scenes matches what happens in this fight scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone had the idea of adding Lee closeups in this fight and that forced the reshoot? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted March 12, 2022 Member Share Posted March 12, 2022 Makes sense. In the interview that @mpm74 conducted, Wall said: "I left there in October of '77, and they called me back in December saying you have to reshoot the fight scenes." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted March 17, 2022 Author Member Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks to @Alan C, for including a link to this thread/forum in his in depth CityonFire.Com interview. About the up-coming Game of Death Re-Dux 2.0. Adapted by Alan Canvan: A Conversation with ‘Game of Death Redux’ Filmmaker Link- https://cityonfire.com/adapted-by-alan-canvan-a-conversation-with-game-of-death-redux-filmmaker-bruce-lee-criterion-blu-ray-dvd/ Quote JB: The Trailer for Game of Death Redux. Can you explain the voice over? AC: Some assumed that it was a trailer narrator, but it’s really the American mercenary who befriends Bruce’s character prior to the mission. This role was going to be played by Bob Baker. The V.O. is Kincaid speaking to Hai Tien the night before they leave for the temple. You’re the first to ask me about this, Jeff, so kudos for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

Member Jesse Smooth Posted April 6, 2022 Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 This is ghetto AF, but I had to customize these. Some blotches were covered by black paint. The original color is in the background shoe. Yes, I had to get new shoelaces. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareem's character was trying to impale him on the vase and then Bruce flips over and kicks him in the head, he never actually filmed the flip for whatever reason. It was just an extra bit of jeopardy in the middle of the fight I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also raising himself onto his arms would of made it easier for Kareem to push his head down I think (Yeah I'm over thinking it but it makes no sense damn it! ) 17 minutes ago, Kevin Chan said: That's very cool!

It could be an alternative attire for Bruce if there was a GOD game. He ends up being one of the floor guardians or something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted June 23, 2022 Member Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I remember when Channel 4 aired the Hong Kong version of Game of Death in 1999. It was weird to see the finale without the Hapkido and Escrima floors. In 1970, Bruce purchased a panther skin as well as a tiger one. It would have been cool if the panther was displayed on Kareem's floor as if to symbolize that he is one of the Black Panthers.

Member DragonClaws Posted July 9, 2022 Author Member Share Posted July 9, 2022 With the exception of the log sequence, is there any more footage missing from Dan Inosanto's Pogoda Hall in Game of Death 72?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member makone Posted July 9, 2022 Member Share Posted July 9, 2022 Inosanto said in a interview that Tiens stick was longer and kept getting shorter. I have watched the scene numerous times and I can’t see any bits of stick on the floor but that’s what Dan said. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Weapon looks like a short club, and it doesnt appear to have been broken in any way. Unless Tien's character arrived on the floor with two weapons from the level below?. Hai Tien comes up with the bamboo and nunchaku, everyo arrives this floor with at least one weapon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
