i was just watching “bruce lee: the warrior’s journey” and watched the fight scenes to the “game of death”. it’s an obvious that bruce never finished or even complete making this long awaited movie and there are rumors about the ending. so that in turn…
if you had a chance to write the ending to “game of death” AFTER bruce defeated kareem abdul jabar’s character…how would it end?
i’ll put mines out later on this[/QUOTE]
I’d digitally add a fight. It would be Bruce Lee vs. Jar Jar Binks.
Not sure if this was posted b4, but the scene starting from 2:12 kinda makes me wonder if Bruce pulled a page out of a Looney Toones cartoon. Probably the 1st time
I’ve seen him in a funny skit.
Here it is … a photo of the Bruce Lee poster that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is going to war over … and now we totally understand why – it’s pretty awesome.
The piece contains a poster from the 1978 flick “Game of Death” – where Bruce and Kareem beat the crap out of each other … until Lee eventually takes out KAJ’s character in an epic fight scene.
The poster is currently in the possession of Julien’s Auction House – which claims it obtained the item fair and square (and an arbitrator agreed) … from KAJ’s LLC… but he is still suing to try to get it back.
Kareem’s also fighting over 151 other items – including a rocking chair he got as a gift during his farewell season in 1989 (that’s his son singing the national anthem!).
Julien’s says the plan is to eventually auction off both items – and Kareem can feel free to bid … if he feels like it.
“I was very emotional” he told us in a statement, “this chair has been in my home since 1989 and it’s the place I like to sit and read.”
“While I much prefer to be on a basketball court, Julien’s has forced me into Superior Court to obtain the return of my personal property. I have faith in the judicial process and fully expect to win this dispute.”
Talk about a throwback Thursday. I only cut&pasted the Game of Death bit. If you want to read about the shock therapy for sexual perversions, you’ll have to follow the link.
Forty years ago this week, it seemed like supersonic jets like the Concorde would transform international air travel forever. Meanwhile in Hong Kong, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) had come into fashion for treating mental conditions in local hospitals. The city also began to dabble in democracy when a visiting British MP suggested giving locals more say at the lower levels of government.
October 16, 1977
Clashes broke out between European and local extras during the filming of a kung fu fight scene at Golden Harvest studios. The clash took place after a small group of extras were called back to do more scenes after two gruelling all-night sessions. The fight scenes were for the film Game of Death that had been left unfinished when martial arts legend Bruce Lee died suddenly in July 1973.
