One thing they did was cast actors who could pose as stand-ins for Lee, including Yuen Biao, who went on to be a kung fu star in his own right. To offer audiences a bit more of the real Bruce Lee and to help bridge some of the scenes together, Golden Harvest relied on recycled scenes from his previous films, such as The Big Boss , Fist of Fury , and Way of the Dragon.

The fight scenes he did with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others were exciting, well-choreographed, and exactly what one would expect from a Bruce Lee movie. Abdul-Jabbar sought out Lee, who then became both his kung fu teacher and good friend.

Abdul-Jabbar trained often with Lee, who taught him a multitude of techniques that later became beneficial to his NBA career. The scene called for five days of shooting. Not long after that, filming came to a halt so Lee could make Enter the Dragon in Hollywood.

Years later, stand-ins, a great deal of editing, and footage from other Bruce Lee movies allowed it to be released anyway. Since Lee was only able to film a portion of Game of Death , no number of changes could have turned it into a martial arts masterpiece.

He was able to wrap production on Enter the Dragon but died before he could resume work on Game of Death. Watch The Video Here. During the brief time he spent working on Game Of Death , Lee only shot about a third of what he needed, all of which came from the second half of the script.
