Year:1978
Country of origin:USA / Honk Kong
Director:Robert Clouse
Genre:Martial arts action
Starring:Bruce Lee, Colleen Camp
Rating:4/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077594/
Tagline:Bruce Lee challenges the underworld to a Game of Death.
Favourite line:N/A - Subtitled

The movie made after Bruce's death, as he was killed very early in the filming.
Scenes from older Bruce movies are interspersed with newly filmed scenes featuring an actor pretending to be Bruce, who looks absolutely nothing like him!!.
In truth, this would have been 2 out of 5 but for the last 20 minutes which are great, as this is the bit that Bruce filmed before he died.
Stand out moments include the Nunchaka scene, the scene with the huge black guy who might have been a Harlem Globetrotter, and the bit in the warehouse on the bikes.
Also worth mentioning that this is clearly the inspiration for the yellow jump suit in Kill Bill that Uma wears.

For Bruce completists only.
