      Bruce Lee is a culture and a symbol

      Every movie of Brother Xiaolong has a set of memories. In the Raptors, the ultimate showdown with Chuck. Here is the fight against Kareem. There is also that yellow suit, which has become a symbol of the image of Brother Xiaolong.

      The story of Brother Xiaolong’s movie is just like that, it’s all about revenge, revenge, the key is to watch the martial arts part. Europeans and Americans say that he is a martial artist, philosopher, actor, director, and fighter. For a yellow-skinned,...

      Explore Bruce Lee's death game

      Bruce Lee became a giant in the Asian film industry by breaking box office records for Kung Fu movies four times. His fifth movie "Game of Death" is also his most creative one. His martial arts philosophy is integrated into the performance and plot of the movie. Unfortunately, he passed away before the film was closed, leaving only 100 minutes of precious shots. The script, synopsis, and footage were all scattered. However, because of the huge box office revenue of Bruce Lee's movie, the...

      Final performance

      Bruce Lee in the film is basically acting as a stand-in, only the last part of the fight in the tower is the real bruce lee. When I watched this film, I felt that he was still alive, really alive, and I expected that every shot of him would be his own face. Through this film, I saw the charm of film art. Through editing, one can live forever and make a movie forever. Oh, there is also an excellent performance by Sammo Hung, the most flexible fat man, there may not have been the Seven Little...

      Bruce Lee originally took 30 minutes to shoot, but there are only 10 minutes left in it

      Having seen the original film, Bruce Lee and two other martial artists went through the five-story tower together, with a master on each floor, and shot three of them, which took about 30 minutes. And this re-edited movie has completely changed the original script content, which is a completely different story. Only part of the shots used to break through the barrier was used at the end. In order to remove the footage of the two companions, there are only ten minutes left.

      Except for...

      Life and death

      The last 20 minutes of the movie is enough, and there is basically no performance of Bruce Lee himself. Because it’s a piece of the movie, the script and the camera are messy, not to mention the appearance of the stand-in, the temperament is also far worse, the fight is even worse, it is not the case at all, there are some places that are almost like a fight with the scorpion, and there is no way to see it in front. How high is this billy. The heroine is very beautiful, she performs well, and...

      Bruce Lee's legacy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Battle of the Century are very classic. It's a pity that the person who replaced him behind this unfinished work is too fake, and he has not grasped the essence of the domineering Jeet Kune Do. It can only be said that it is a pity that Tian is jealous of...

      The frame of the off-the-play scene was switched from the classic battle scene of "The Raptors Crossing the River" to the filming set, with the ending of "Jing Wu Men" as an important turning point. The action actor died while filming, and it took only a dozen minutes for Bruce Lee. The real martial arts drama is the ending climax, so even as a craze for money, it can be considered very carefully, and the idea is very clever. The heroine in the film is also pretty. In order to avoid showing the...

      The four stars starred in "Bruce Lee", the final yellow dress look is really classic, and the martial arts action design is also awesome. The story of the feature film goes against Bruce Lee’s original intent (for those interested in the original idea, you can watch "Game of Death" and "Bruce Lee: The Journey of a Warrior" to learn more), and most of the passages of Tang Long as a substitute look slightly embarrassing , Especially the face-changing special effects that use poor technology, have...

    Movie concept

"The knowledge. "Game of Death" was originally inspired by the Buddhist allusion "Seven-level Pagoda".

    • Hai Tien: [Original Dialouge] Do you speak any Enlgish?

      3rd Floor Guardian: Of course I speak English.

      Hai Tien: I hope you don't mind if we move our man so we could have more room to groove.

      3rd Floor Guardian: But... Have your men stay as far away from the stairway as possible

      Hai Tien: [as Tien moves an unconscious Cheh out of the way Hai Tien prepares to fight with his bamboo whip] You know baby, this bamboo is longer, more flexible and very much alive, and if your flashy routine cannot keep up with the speed and elusiveness of this thing here, all I can say is you will be in deep trouble.

      3rd Floor Guardian: That we will have to find out.

      Hai Tien: [during the fight Hai Tien gains the upper hand] I am telling you it is difficult to have a rehearsed routine to fit in with broken rhythm

      [they fight and Hai Tien hits yhe guardian again]

      Hai Tien: see, rehearsed routines, lack the flexibility to adapt.
