Member sifu iron perm Posted December 22, 2014 Member Share Posted December 22, 2014 I wonder if the completed Game of Death would have included any female nudity of some sort, all of the others did. the lady with the deadly nipples on level 4.. man there was a Combat magazine (with bruce and jackie/best of martial arts artwork) circa 1989 or 1990, it featured a cool article about the mystery ideas of the pagodas, including asamurai chick with two swords.. i wish and hope i can track this magazine one day..my motgher took it from me and ripped it up for being a naughty naughty boy. http://www.ma-mags.com/Mags/C/C%201990-05%20Cov.jpg edit..may 1990.

Member DragonClaws Posted December 22, 2014 Member Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm sure it would feature some nudity in the finished version. HK films from this period often had some nudity thrown in, for artistic reasons of course. Id like to know what kind of idea's Bruce Lee had for Kareem Abdul Jabbar's character. The unusual eyes and light sensitivity suggest he was more than just a giant man on the final level. I think his character name was Mantis? or something along those lines. I used to be really intrigued by the film when I was younger. Since then Ive forgotten a lot of the stuff Ive read regarding G.O.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tracked down all the old pre-cert releases of the movies, despite Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon being the only ones which were uncut, because I had such great memories of renting them in the early eighties.

Member Phantom Dreamer Posted December 29, 2014 Member Share Posted December 29, 2014 I still go with Fist of Fury. Since it's technically a period piece, there are really no ugly early '70s clothing visible unlike the other films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cheng Li Posted December 31, 2014 Member Share Posted December 31, 2014 I would go with The Big Boss. Man, I don't know, there is something about that movie that makes me prefer it over to any other Bruce Lee movie. The soundtrack, the other actors and of course the great performance by Bruce Lee sums it up to a great movie. The first time I saw Enter the Dragon I thought that it was a worthwile watch but not that of a classic as I expected it to be but as time went on and I revisited the movie it became one of my favourites, too. But to be honest it is pretty difficult to pick out a favorite movie. Besides Game of Death, which just felt wrong to me, every movie was quite a lot of fun to watch.

Member Fist of the Heavenly Sky Posted January 1, 2015 Member Share Posted January 1, 2015 Non stop Bruce fighting for 90 minutes interspersed with the odd bit of female nudity sounds like a decent film to me. Way of the Dragon & Fists of Fury did feature at least a scene with female boobs in each. The Big Boss features quite a bit of exposed boobies and other semi-nudity from Marilyn Bautista. And of course, that goes without mentioning the ever-infamous "last brothel visit" scene. If memory serves me right, the second Thai prostitute showed off her boobs, while Cheng was standing behind the bed, presumably nude. It's in her room where Cheng gets the packet of crackers that he's seen eating at the begging of the final fight. It's a pity that the scene got cut, since it actually some really interesting character development. Not to mention the nonchalance with which he's eating the crackers as he turns up to the final confrontation seems to jar with the previous scene in the current edit.

Member Fist of the Heavenly Sky Posted January 2, 2018 Member Share Posted January 2, 2018 My answer should be fairly obvious, but seeing how Bruce Lee's filmography is rather small, I think the thread title is rather redundant. All of the movies are enjoyable in their own way, and yes, that includes Game of Death. Conversely, I do think Enter The Dragon is my least favorite of the batch, and not necessarily because of anything wrong about the movie (although the camera work is definitely objectionable IMO). I feel that the movie's actual value has withered down considerably over the years due to the overbearing efforts of the BL Estate to make it a "pop culture phenomenon" in spite of it being hardly representative of what Bruce was as a creative and individual force. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, Game of Death may be my favourite at the moment, because the score and Sammo's fight choreography are both amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learnt by trail and error but became the definitive company, we were the only ones doing it." Interesting stuff...why would Shaws or any other company want to dub there films into English, surely there wasnt any way they was to know there would be demand years later? He says of Bruce: " Everything he did was showbiz. I dont know how he would have faired against some of the great fighters. By fighters i mean guys who can get in there and make a mess of somebody. I rather suspect not too well. I had a little fracas with him once when we we having an argument about boxers vs gung fu men. I said boxer will always wear out gung fu fighters because they are so quick, so he said come on try and hit me, so i hit him! He didnt move his head which amazed me and he had a cut on his lip. The picture ive got of Bruce is him holding his lip and saying to me you would never do that again because you drop your left shoulder when you hit, i said who doesnt? He gave a lot of national pride back to the Chinese people, that was a tremendous achievement and that should be his epitaph" Controversial views but hey, he met the man, interviewed him several times so is entitled to his opinion! Anyone seen a Bruce Lee movie where Ted Thomas dubs his character's voice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression its his voice on the English dubs?, for the VHS/DVD releases, yet to hear what dubs appear on the U.K BR releases. With the exception of Game Of Death, where I think they used anohter voice actor for the Billy Lo part. Sure Thomas dubbed the Billy Lo character for Tower Of Death?.
