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 the ten minutes reserved, all the other content was made out of nothing. Let the avatar wear sunglasses, stick a beard, back of his head, vision, and clips from several other movies to just piece together this death game. The yellow one-piece martial arts suit that Bruce Lee wore of his own design has also become a motorcycle rider suit. No wonder his daughter Li Xiangning said this movie was a joke.

I still like the original script conceived by Bruce Lee, which is an Eastern style kung fu movie about martial arts and Zen theory, which contains a lot of Bruce Lee's understanding of the realm of martial arts. There is a gap in the content of this stand-in version released. It is a Hollywood-style movie where a martial arts star pretends to be dead and then seeks revenge behind the scenes.

The precious shot, which was originally only thirty minutes long, was cut out for twenty minutes because of the lack of material.

After the adapted version of the movie was released, the last thing the world left in their minds was the ten-minute shot of the breakthrough.

    Just watching the last 20 minutes is enough. This movie is no longer what it was because of Bruce Lee’s death. As for the original script and design of the death game, we have no chance to see it. We can only remember the superstar through the last bit of screen. Bruce Lee's contributions to Chinese Kung Fu and Chinese-language films are immeasurable.

    Revisiting the official commemoration of Bruce Lee’s film. The only impression of this film before is the scene of Bruce Lee and the black, thin, tall, and tall boy that he watched when the movie was shown in the open air in the village when he was young. Very generally, the first half of the episode is very confusing, and the plot is bad and Bruce Lee's appearance makes me suspect that this is not a stand-in, right? Until the final episode of Bruce Lee's real body, it is confirmed that all the front is a stand-in. The gap between the real body and the stand-in It's too big, including the speed of punching, etc. The huge difference between the real and the fake Bruce Lee in the same movie reflects the irreplaceability of Bruce Lee in history and the world. Later, I saw the film reviews and realized that Bruce Lee died in the middle of making this movie. There are few Bruce Lee fragments left. No wonder the development of the plot is a bit strange. Bruce Lee played a big star in this movie and also made a funeral of Bruce Lee’s suspended animation. It turned out to be a direct memorial and tribute to Bruce Lee in the movie. It reflects the great influence of Li. Hong Kong where gangs are rampant in the film, especially in the film industry, is actually true according to Jackie Chan and others.

    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.
