Yeah I feel lots of changes probably happened but BL original sketch just said 'unknown'. Maybe they were testing to see how it looked? Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that in the Mantis Style, though the position of Kareem seems to fit it, the legs aren't in this position but rather one leg bent and the other one extended towards the rear. Kareem's position evokes me rather of the crane or stork pose, but once again, if it's one of these, it seems to me that one leg shouldn't touch the ground. You are all much better experts than me on the matter of the styles, so, maybe I only tell stupid comments here... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible, its known that the actors and crew were changing things every day and coming up with new ideas. Your guess, it just s good as mine or anyone else's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the movie being completed, pairing these two movies together makes sense. Im all for ARROW combining the 1972 Game of Death footage with Way of The Dragon.

I'll grab the Japanese one, so all's well that ends well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted November 21, 2023 Author Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 In the below video, Steven Seagal talks about breaking a fighter style & rthym among other topics. Very much matches up with Bruce Lee's on-screen duel with Dan Inosanto in Game of Death. Dan's character is very restrictted by his own set style, but Hai Tiens own broken rythm has no set pattern of attack. Making him less predictable and harder to fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted April 3 Author Member Share Posted April 3 (edited) As many long-term fans know, Unicorn Chan's name was attached to Game of Death, at least until the Unicorn Fist lawsuit?. Pictures of him have been shared online since the early noughties, of him wearing a black t-shirt with a large white anchor on the front. Helping Bruce Lee filming in the New Territories. There are also shots of him wearing the same outfit, on the set of Game of Death at Golden Harvest with Angela Mao, Bruce Lee and some of the other cast and crew. Were they shooting exterior and interior scenes on the same day?, or was Unicorn in costume for his up-coming role in the movie?.

Member DragonClaws Posted April 7 Author Member Share Posted April 7 I didn’t know until recently, that the tapping rhythm Dan Inosantos character used in Game of Death. Was the secret knock, that Bruce Lee student would use, to gain access to one of his California Jeet Kune Do schools in the 60's. Click on the video below, for the source of this information. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be, Ive only viwed Artports edit of the pogoda footage, never seeked out the whole film. Dan Inosanto dubbed his voice for the artport version, if my memories correct?. With Warriors Journey featuring actor dubbing Dan's dialogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Josh Baker Posted April 18 Member Share Posted April 18 They just showed GoD on Sky Cinema. Hadn't seen it for a while, and it occurred to me how much Kim looks NOTHING like from Bruce, even from behind. He did do a good impression of him, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Killer Meteor Posted April 18 Member Share Posted April 18 Yeah, I struggle to see much of Bruce in Kim. I'm always surprised GH didn't insist he have plastic surgery to make him look more like Lee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have had Billy Lo killed off with a fake death earlier in the film, then have him stalk the gang at night in a ninja costume. They wouldnt have needed to worry about the face issue as much, just the odd insert shot here and there. Then after the factory bike sequence, he unmask outside the pogoda in the dark, then when he runs onto Dan Inosantos floor you see the real Bruce Lee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
