If Bruce Lee has a very unfortunate work that has not been completed, that is, the posthumous work "Game of Death", if this movie is completed, it will become a unique classic that has never been seen before. Because Bruce Lee wanted to make way for his coveted Hollywood blockbuster, after filming the climax of the fight, he went to take over the filming of Warner's "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" of the American Company, and as a result, "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" had not yet been released, and Bruce Lee died.
"Game of Death" turned out to be a posthumous work, which is heartbreaking. Although the film was released five years later, directed by Robert Galles, because it was completed in a patchwork style, and the storyline was far from the original intention, the rest of the plot was useless except for more than ten minutes of Bruce Lee's personal fight.
Bruce Lee had no official script at the time of the filming of "Game of Death", only an outline and creative ideas, and according to Inosando's recollection, Bruce Lee wanted to make this movie the largest epic action film in the history of world cinema. Then I switched to shooting other styles of films, such as costume films and lifestyle films.
As for the Tower of Death in the Game of Death, Bruce Lee originally fantasized about 5 floors, each floor is guarded by a different sect of masters, the first floor has 50 masters to control, he has to defeat 50 people, in order to show the depth of the boxing, with this grand scene to create a shocking force.
The second floor was guarded by Chi Han-jae, a generation-master of Aikido in Korea, when Aikido was popular as an emerging practical martial art, so Bruce Lee wanted to use his victory over Chi Hanzai to show the power of kickboxing.
The third floor is guarded by Wing Chun masters, Bruce Lee intends to arrange for fellow brother Wong Chun Leung to take charge, and Huang has already auditioned, Bruce Lee wants to defeat Wing Chun to prove that Truncheon is superior to traditional martial arts.
The fourth floor is guarded by Inoyamado, and Bruce Lee wants to use this internationally renowned comprehensive martial artist to demonstrate the huge development potential of truncated boxing. The last floor is guarded by the unknown sect master Jabbar, which will be a bloody battle, a vicious battle. Bruce Lee believes that not being famous is not without name, just as the core theory of truncated boxing, with the inability to have the law, to the infinite as limited, after people's cultivation reaches a certain level, it has reached the realm of "fist without fist, intentional or unintentional, unintentional is the true intention", Bruce Lee finally defeated this high person who has reached a high and profound realm, the purpose is to finally prove the unparalleled power of the truncated boxing, to prove that his martial arts have reached the highest cultivation realm of returning to the pure.
The original synopsis of the play tells the story of Bruce Lee, played by Tian Jun and Xie Yuan, two martial artists, who broke through the level for the martial arts secret book collected at the top of the tower, and finally both died in battle, leaving Bruce Lee alone to break into the top of the tower, when Bruce Lee opened the treasure box, he found that there was only one mirror, of course, only himself in the mirror. The esoteric philosophical implications of the film suggest that people should not only blindly pursue some unrealistic external things, in fact, you are a priceless treasure yourself, but you have not discovered and excavated.
Unfortunately, we will never be able to restore the essence and true meaning of Bruce Lee's "Game of Death", and we can only find the ripples that once flooded in the long river of history. Once again, I pay tribute to the philosopher, martial artist and kung fu superstar Bruce Lee. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
