Game of death fight scenes that was edited away from the film.. watch "the way of the dragon" fight in colosseum here • Video ALSO watch my awsome katana (samurai sword) • Video
man, if Bruce Lee were to live to complete this film, i think this film would top "Enter The Dragon". This film was to show case his philosophy, his art and his style of "Jeet Kun Do" a way of an intercepting fist. A style of no style that can adapt to his opponent. this would be one of the greatest film of all time. dang! we missed Bruce Lee a lot. RIP master Bruce Lee.
@@pablo9364yes I thought so too. Knowledge vs ignorance. Light vs the dark. Same way real Bruce vs his pride/ignorance. But yeah with the technology at that time, it wouldn't have been possible to create such a scene, unless they casted someone as his body double. But the main issue with that would've been, nobody would've looked as ripped as Lee so it would've been obvious to the audience that it's somebody else and thus they would've failed to generate any impact.
I remember the day I went with my friends to the theater to see this movie. The discipline in the fighting is amazing. I can remember all of it as if I just walked out of the theater. One of my better days that day.
Game of Death was the most challenging achievement of Lee's career.Unfortunately Bruce never lived to see the complete version of his artistic vision come to life on the silver screen.Without a doubt it clearly demonstrates how he evolved as a martial artist and film maker.Had he lived he would have been an incredible director in addition to being a martial arts legend.
they were so superb! I never saw the final part where he reaches the top, then descends only to find out he still has to fight those outside to leave! Wow! brutal!
@@tombuckley3659 i saw that part - Bruce knocks the sunglasses off Kareem's face and suddenly realizes he's blinded by the light - his weakness! i learned then at a young age, we all have a strength and a weakness! - Like Clint Eastwood said "we all must know our limitations"
Incorrect. The strength and athleticism is shown in a 'choreographed dance'. No 'fight' ever took place. This was skilled artistry for young boys to watch and enjoy, and nothing more.
My man Master Bruce Lee was awesome. His legacy lives on. Greatest Martial Artist I've ever known. Is so sad he died so young. But he is still one of my favorites and my heroes.
50 years since Bruce Lee passed away and he has left a considerable legacy. It's most unfortunate he didn’t complete his version of "Game of Death." This footage, from August to October 1972, offers a fascinating glimpse at what might have been.
My aunt didn't believe me when I said before 1976 I knew who BL was because of watching the movies they had on TV at the time they had some Chinese Kung Fu ones on which was watching it on a black and white TV. But I still knew. Vancouver BC has a lot of Chinese and these films before he passed away.
@@reepacheirpfirewalker8629 Well Firewalker tell your aunt I believe you. But you were later to the party than I. I'm also from Vancouver (well born and raised in Burnaby) so I'm familiar with what you are saying. While you were watching Bruce on TV I had already seen Fists of Fury, Chinese Connection, and Return of the Dragon in movie theatres down in that part of Van. I saw Enter the Dragon at Lougheed Mall back when it had its 3 theatres. All before I was 11 (I'm now soon pushing 60). Like you I'm a life long fan and admirer of Bruce who's style and philosophical outlooks have had a profound influence on who I am today. After he died and Linda brought him back to Seattle for burial my parents drove down to pay our respects. At that time there was just a small plaque on the ground. Over the years I have been to Seattle 7 or 8 times always making a point of stopping at Lakeview Cemetery to say Hello and Thank-you to Bruce and am glad to see his final place of rest has become a shrine much more fitting to a man like Bruce and his son. Stay cool Firefly and always remember 'Be Water'. The ability to adapt to any situation is one of the most important skills to learn in this world.
Bruce Lee has left a legacy for generations to come. I remember going to the drive in as a young boy and watching a triple feature with Bruce Lee. Enter the Dragon, Fists of Fury and Game of Death. So fun to watch even to this very day and forever shall be. There will never be anyone else like the master that is Bruce Lee. With love, Shane
I know what you mean, i miss those times, and there are some still around,--''DRIVE INS'', but not as much fun, now you better hope your radio works and you have a dam good battery, preferably brand new!!!!!
Man... When I was a kid, I had no idea how amazing Bruce really was. Anybody that's done MMA can see he had speed, quick thinking, adaptability and strength and so many other skills that you don't see in pro MMA fighters. I had no idea this guy was the real deal. Truly a mythical creature.
,,,,, sour hear rit and egyptian qaris are taken over youtube to force everybody out, deal with germany uptake qur444an: no pink panther.., cobra swallowed, tricks and sleight of deals, all..
@@871jamie oh you poor dummy! Bruce was so fast they had to slow the footage down so you could see what he was doing - everyone else? they speed the film up to make it look fast
I grew up on all the Bruce Lee flicks. The end footage was just a metaphor. Bruce Lee fought his inner demons and him and his Brandon will be legends forever
A superb showcase of Lee's abilities and transcendent combat philosophy. Bruce is the GOAT, always has been and likely always will be. I can't help wondering why his character in the movie didn't go up to the last level after everything he went through. In any case, Bruce Lee's impact and influence will live forever. May he and Brandon rest in peace.
Salut, après ce commentaire pertinent, difficile d' ajouter quelque chose en même temps il y aura toujours un commentaire, voir un débat officiel ou pas, bref on parlera toujours, quelque part de Bruce Lee.Meme son nom claque comme un coup de pied fouetté .A bientôt
Check out James DeMile streetfighter, Air Force hvwt boxing champ on youtube: To this day I'd bet that Bruce could beat anyone in the world in a real fight. Ali: .If he boxed he could have been world champ.
My favorite, the cat sounds, the screams ,the laughter in them to psych out his enemies. Bruce Lee ,I remember him in The Green Hornet, he played the role of Kato, partner in crime fighting. Too bad we lost him, great entertainer in martial arts.
I believe this is Bruce's finest fight choreography.... the nunchaka battle with Dan Inosanto is really wicked with blinding speed on both sides. Ironically its my understanding that Dan Inosanto taught Bruce the nunchaka Bruce expanded on it adding his flare and speed to the mix. Of all the times Bruce utilized the nunchuks this one I feel takes top honors with the Chinese connection coming in second ....that fight with the Japanese wielding a samurai blocking Bruce's attempted blows with the nunchuks was phenomenal. But game of death was excellent nunchaka fight
I thought I seen everything about Lee back in the 70s. Where we all were kungfu fighting every time we seen his movies. But never saw this before today. Thanks 😎
A documentary of Bruce's life incorperating these fight scenes would have been more than enough for his fans and a far better tribute to this man's achievements than what they did to Finnish this movie. Thank goodness he completed Enter the Dragon.
This is actually perfect as it is!! These 39 min, It actually feels like smthing that wud happen to you after death, you're stuck in a limbo and fighting your way out of it.. climbing your way up, trying sm way to get out and whenever you think it's over, a voice outside shouts that it's not over yet! A dream like sequence with no beginning or the end.. isn't it just perfect?? Rest in peace, bruce. It actually didn't need any dialogues, they did gud even with their body language and mannerisms. Also the music sucked.. it was too loud n out of place, whoever added it.
If you don't like this movie then don't look at it you truly don't know your stuff it was half uncompleted it is what it is if you don't like SOMETHING don't dwell on it are you a feel guilty inside 🙏
I haven't seen this movie in a long time! They are throwing down with those nun-chucks!This is one of my favorite Movies just like The Chinese Connection and Enter the Dragon.I am truly a Diehard Bruce Lee Fan!🤩
Thanks for uploading this. I've always wanted a copy of the lost version. It's so disappointing that they chose to rewrite this story rather than finish what Bruce wanted made.
MR LEE LEFT US WHEN TO SOON, BECAUSE OF HIM I AM THE MAN I AM TODAY, HE WAS AND WELL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. 50 YEARS LATER AND I STILL MISS HIM, MR LEE THEN AND NOW YULL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. MUCH RESPECT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY YOU ALWAYS REST IN PEACE, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. 🙏🙏🤜👊🤛🤜👍🙏🙏❤
The world can do as much deep fake videos and impose the legend's face onto other actors as much as they want. But they will never ever be able to replicate Bruce's charisma, speed and his power. Definitely the one and only.
Martial arts means Bruce Lee And.🥋 Bruce Lee means Martial arts. No words for such a great man. Imagine if Bruce Lee was alive till now. How many of great action movies, we would have get to see.🧐
Truly amazing lost footage!!... This was way better than the final cut of the movie. Bruce really was a real legend. Unfortunately, the last soundtracks added (in the fight against Abdul Jabbar) doesn't fit in good way to the scenes, it sounds modern, like a fight videogame, and it sounds good but it doesn't match to the ambience and style from the original soundtrack. Plus, when this soundtracks was added, the voices and sounds from the actors lost presence.
Thanks for sharing this i remember seeing the game of death over 30 yr ago and the scene with dan inosanto was cut out due to the nuchacu and the violence nature of them now seeing this many year later i appreaciate the science behind bruce lee fighting skill as he tackled each martial artist on the different levels . it was a pity he died during the making of this film but his legacy continues to day through his Fans
Words cannot describe mr. Lee Legend the man brought martial arts to the United States and it cost him his life he will never be forgotten rest in peace little dragon the master.💪👍👌🙏
@Jake Collins you must be a foreigner know your history before you make a comment martial arts was way before him yes but it was never accepted in the United States learn your history before making a comment.
@Jake Collins I don't think so Ed Parker teacher was William kawai sun Chow Asian master that taught him in Hawaii and they were only teaching in tournaments not in the US not allowed to teach in the United States or have schools so stupid people like you keep thinking that way
@@flookie6283 Who is "Saenchai"???? Either way, i can agree with you. Bruce was never "Invincible", not even in his own movies. He knew how to learn from his opponents. Tony Jaa, Chiba Shinichi, v.v.v.v. are even more talented than Bruce was. The thing is, what Bruce had was more than just fighting skills.
@@hanglong8056 Saenchai is a professional Muay Thai fighter. I agree, nobody is invincible, there’s always at least one person out there that can beat you. They don’t even have to be famous. I’m just responding to what he said, that Bruce was the fastest and most powerful. Saenchai has the best speed to power ratio ever, there’s no competition. He’s about the same size as Bruce but throws his punches and kicks about twice as fast and twice as powerful. He’s one of the fastest guys to ever fight, period. That’s his hallmark. Some fighters are know for just their power, or their kicks, their head movement. Bruce was known for his philosophy. Saenchai is known for super human speed and cat like reflexes, which makes him seem even faster than he is
@@flookie6283 I agree. In fact, Tony Jaa is already better in terms of fighting skills. But as we all know, people are unfair in fighting, especially street fight. Bruce Lee, Tony Jaa or anybody else...they all can't fight guys who play dirty on the street. I am a Bruce Lee's fan, but what you said is correct. Therefore, we need to constanly learn in order to adapt
What gets me is the Chuck Norris memes. I saw Norris one day at a Casino in Lake Charles Louisiana. 5 tall women got out of the Limousine. I couldn't even see Norris. He was literally 5 feet tall with boots on. The dude couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
Uma pena que o mestre não viveu para concluir esta obra. Bem diferente da versão editada. Achei muito bacana a participação dos outros atores que deram um tom cômico à obra.
Damn, thanks so much for uploading this. I watched this full segment as a kid and was disappointed that they cut so much in the commercial VHS versions. Bruce shared much of his martial arts wisdom here in this scene. Love it. Rest in Peace, Bruce Lee Siew Long.
That was Lee's real martial arts philosophy, at least when it came to the physical...protecting your self at all cost. Lee understood the concept of real street fighting. If you encounter a guy who is 6 feet, 5 inches and a whopping 300 pounds, you do whatever you have to do to protect your "LIFE." That's how Bruce Lee envisioned every possible street fight--you may have to fight to the death. Unfortunately, many people have died in street fights because they never considered the cost of life.
@@thomasbrown3793 Apparently Bruce-Lee had to order in a custom made punch bag that was 700 lbs because others were too weak. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7uXid-nVCAs.html
I have seen several cuts of this missing footage, and this is by far the most complete. Especially in the wide shots we're James Tien and the other fighter are seen watching the fight. I really love this and it is really sad to think this film was not completed because it would have been his best work. I would also advise everyone to watch man from Hong Kong with Jimmy Wang Yu and George Lazenby. Once you see George fight in that film you will know why Bruce wanted him for Game of Death..
Mesmerizing...Bruce lee. I'm 52 now, but I still get glued to the screen - just as I was, seeing him for the first time as a 10 year old ! None so graceful, stylish or fast !! Legend.....miss you sir !!
Od mog djetinjstva volim Bruce Lee.Gledala sam svaki njegov film.Bila sam smjesna dečkima,ali kada je u kino bio njegov film,to je bilo uzbuđenje cijeli dan.Skupljao se džeparac da se može gledati.Najdrazi mi je U ZMAJEVOM GNIJEZDU.Bruce Lee never died.
Ty 4 posting this entire clip, Bruce was trying to tell Us so much here about the world We live in, for those that know what I'm saying, there is a good reason for every bit of footage he put into this, bless Him for putting everything he did
Long live Li Xiaolong Bruce Lee. A legendary Martial artist and Founder of Jeet Kune Do. He died too young and he was and still is popular not just in China but for the entire World. Bruce Lee is China's Superhero and not only that the entire World as many Bruce Lee fans for many generations to come. RIP.
Very few PPL on earth are born legends such as MICHAEL JACKSON, BRUCE LEE, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, MD Ali, James brown, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan...they are born with skills, determination, vision and Integrity! These legends knew what they wanted in life bz they had passion and they made their passion their professional
Enter the Dragon was SO challenging and burn-out-alike for him that it eventually killed him; either because of pain medication or because of over consumption of water that caused swelling of his brain. The most charismatic Martial Artist EVER !
Bruce Lee's facial and body expression at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1103">18:23</a> is priceless. "Alright, you go ahead and take over as I watched you get your ass whipped, because I was doing just fine on my own before you rudely interrupted our groove."
The guy in the black gi is Chieh Yuen. Game of Death would have been more than just a movie if he had lived to finish it. It would have conveyed Bruce's concept of Jeet Kune Do/martial arts in a physical, philosophical and spiritual way. I personally wished he had finished that project instead of Enter the Dragon to be honest. He did not need ETD to get worldwide recognition, that was inevitable anyway. He was genius plain and simple.
@Dark Knowledge point based system dont prove much. bruce-lee was all encompassing. surely he could fight very well. a guy who cant fight wont sit and make movies about fighting and directs them and also trains big stars. He had to fight in san=francisco to coach and he wont that fight. after that they just let bruce-lee do his thing. he was revered in hk for a reason. chuck-norris himself said pound per pound for his weight he was damn good. he was a world champ and wont be ready to take a fall unless he thinks opponent is special--even in movies! van-dam is the closest you can think of as a fighter come actor( he has records to prove but he is not mme). An mme fighter has no chance against a boxer knock out( but that is weight based just like mme) bol-bol who fought with both in movies said after bruce only van-damn comes close! you can see here, he is not there to score points. it is game of death or survival. he was charismatic and unless you have that it factor, people wont follow you.
Fighter or actor?...If it's martial arts actor, then Steven Seagal gets my vote. At least he he doesn't get his arse kicked before he defeats his opponent!
