Game of Death

Premise
Made five years after Bruce Lee's death. The movie makers started with old demo fights, and added new scenes with Bruce Lee stand ins.

Who should watch
Martial arts fans?

Thoughts
Before I found out this was not even a real Bruce Lee movie, I already thought was a pretty bad movie. Now I feel gipped, like listening to one of Tupac Shakur's posthumous albums.

As a movie, it had bad dubbing, bad acting and bad editing. So it was really high on the unintentionally funny scale. As an added bonus of hilarity, the movie makers tried to make it into a James Bond martial arts flick; they even employed the original James Bond composer to write the score.

The only redeeming qualities were the appearances by Chuck Norris and Sammo Hung, and the absurd yet cool fight between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabber.

What I would change
Never made this movie. Just release the Kareem fight as a short.
