Product Description

Product Description

Bruce Lee was an enigmatic, legendary figure at the time of his death in 1973. His popularity has never waned and this 2001 documentary on the black belt movie star attempts to explain some of his magnetic appeal. Included in this biographical film is footage of The Game of Death, the film that Lee was involved in at the time of his death. Pieced together by Lee aficionado John Little, the film's finale is a flurry of images of the master in action for over 30 minutes.

Amazon.com

Bruce Lee's life, philosophy, and final film are examined in this reverent documentary, which traces the master's path through the development of his own style, his battles with mainstream Hollywood and martial arts traditionalists, and his emergence as the world's top box-office draw. Just as interesting as Lee's life is the chance to see lost footage from The Game of Death, Lee's final, unfinished film. Outtakes offer the opportunity to see Lee's perfectionism in action, and the reconstructed storyline reveals how Lee's personal martial arts philosophy shaped the film. And yes, there is a spectacular nunchakau fight. Interviews with Lee and those close to him highlight his energy, intelligence, and remarkable charisma. Fans of Lee will welcome this new insight into his filmmaking, and those unfamiliar with his life and work will come away with a new respect. The DVD includes a Lee filmography, the theatrical trailer for The Game of Death, and audio commentary by the director. --Ali Davis

More Complete and Honest With Never Before Seen Footage
If you're a true Bruce Lee fan, this is a must-see; it goes into things no other video does. "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" starring Jason Scott was supposed to be his life story, but they not only took artistic license, they failed to carry through past his worldly accomplishments, to his final evolution to the "Style of No Style" where the martial artist is completely adaptable to any opponent's style he or she faces.If you want to know the true story of Bruce Lee's life, and see 30min of newly discovered footage of him in action from "Game of Death" (which movie was never released in the form he intended) and hear from his own lips his true message to mankind (which has basically been suppressed), then this is the movie for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best documentarys I've seen
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2004

The hacked version of Game Of Death is, in my opinion one of the worst movie I've ever seen. It's poorly edited, the acting is awful and on top of that it's insulting. It's insulting to Bruce Lee, his family, Martial Arts films, and films in general. Bruce Lee had died and never got the chance to finish the film. That didn't stop a bunch of studio executives to re-write the script, get a double to fill in for Lee and even use footage from Bruce's older films. The result is a mess of a film that should have never been made. The actual footage of Bruce Lee that appears in the film is only about eleven minutes worth. When in fact there was over one hundred minutes of footage Bruce had shot. Most of which is outtakes and re-takes.

Bruce Lee: A Warriors Journey focuses on Bruce's rise to fame in both the Martial Arts world and the film world. It explores his struggles against prejudice in Hollywood. On top of all that Bruce's original vision for The Game of Death is revealed. His original script is uncovered. Completely different from the released version. This was going to be the film that finally focused on Bruce's personal philosophy.

The real gem of this documentary comes at the end. For the first time. The full thirty minutes of Bruce's lost footage for the Game of Death is revealed and let me tell you it's glorious to behold. These thiry minutes featuring some of the greatest martial arts I've ever seen on film. If there ever was any reason to think that Bruce Lee was the master it's proven in this footage. Had he lived to finish the film it could of possibly been his masterpiece.

Skip the released version and watch this documentary instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Artist with Places to Go
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

I have been studying martial arts since I was 12 years old. I am deeply familiar with Taoist and Zen philosophies, as well as the underlying concepts and principles manifest in Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

What made this documentary stand out for me, was not the exposition or insights it provides into the idiosyncracies of Bruce Lee's life, his personality, or the martial arts. What makes this film so amazing is that through the collection of interviews with Lee and those that knew him intimately, it became apparent to me for the first time that Bruce Lee was a man who was in a constant personal struggle to express his soul. It is clear--even from the style and power in his handwriting, let alone the hundreds of simple, but elegant, drawings he effortlessly churned out--that Bruce Lee was, first and foremost, an ARTIST. Martial arts, acting, film production, writing--these things were merely foundational tools and mediums of expression. Within Lee himself there burned a passionate spirit that was on a path to evolve and transcend them all.

The world was devastated when Bruce Lee suddenly died. So many were grief-stricken at the loss of such a profoundly talented and charismatic young man. But to anyone with eyes to see, this documentary makes it evident that his early passing was a necessity: The man clearly had places to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Game of Death That Should Have Been
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2002

If you're a Bruce Lee fan, even in the very least, do not pass up this DVD! Forget about the Game of Death that you saw previously that used only about 10 minutes of the real Bruce Lee footage and incorporated incompetent stand-ins and an unconvincing merging storyline. I have always heard about and seen some of the missing scenes, but never seen it brought together as John Little has done in this DVD.
His dilligent research and careful application of putting the footage together from Bruce's own notes and illustrations is obvious and well appreciated, unlike the ones who hap-hazardly put together their own version of Bruce's movie over 20 years ago. They obviously lacked the kind of clear, crisp vision that Bruce had in the way he envisioned martial arts to be, as a true artform. Not just people beating the heck out of each other (especially in action movies today), but to have a purpose or reason for violence and learning to adapt within one's own self to the outside environment to overcome challenges, as Bruce does on each level of the pagoda.
As I have learned recently, asian movies were usually shot without a soundtrack to make it easier for international showings that had to be dubbed in various languages anyways. Therefore, Bruce's war-cries are from his previous movies but add excitement nevertheless. And yes, you will hear Kareem's voice too! And other good stuff you don't want to miss.
Bruce's humour and "serious play" attitude, as in "Way of the Dragon", is as vibrant as ever in various restored scenes of The Game of Death. You can just imagine how much fun Bruce and his friends had in making the movie in getting to "express themselves freely" as Bruce always encouraged. Also, the work done by Dan Inosanto, Ji Han Jae, and of course Kareem are finally in its entirety. This restored vision of The Game of Death alone is worth getting the DVD.
The Biography segment contains more of Bruce's philosophy and footage from his screen test, movie and TV appearances that you might not have seen before. This even includes audio clips as well as some home movie footage. Brand new interviews with Bruce's family and friends are also among its features.
I would have liked to give 5 stars for this DVD but just one warning. The DVD advertises a music video and a feature-length audio commentary by Little (it does not specify whether this a narration throughout the biography or a separate track for T.G.O.D. portion). Both of these are as elusive as Bruce's bamboo whip. If anyone knows what and where these features are, please let us know. That aside however, this is a MUST for your DVD library. If you don't get it, "...you'll be in deep trouble".

WOW ... this is the ultimate film on Bruce Lee. Its not just a documentary, the fight scenes are even better than those in Enter the Dragon. The final 40 minutes of this great DVD, is the fight scene at the end of Game of Death .... not the weak version they released after Bruce Lee's death, but the fight scene Bruce intended to be seen. Honestly this is a must for any fan of the fighting arts. As well as all that you have the greatest documentary of Bruce Lee's life, from his early days in Hong Kong to his time in America, to his return to Hong Kong and all the way to his stardom back in the states and beyond.

John Little nous retrace la vie et la carrière de Bruce Lee à travers des reportages, rushes et commentaires et bien sur les 40 minutes de "the game of dead" (sous-titrés en français) sont exellents, et mettent bien l'accent sur le travail et la volonté de cet homme d'exeption qui bouleversera le monde des arts martiaux, de mieux comprendre le philosophe combattant qu'il a été, retraçant le potentiel sans limite,le charisme et la maturité dont faisait preuve Bruce Lee pour son jeune âge, où la puissance de ses convictions nous fascinent et fascineront encore.

For anyone interested in Bruce Lee this is a must, it presents us with the only footage of Game Of Death in sequential order, also providing an explanation of what Bruce was striving for with this movie; in many ways this movie could have been even more amazing to those interested Bruce Lee and martial arts.
