Game of Death Review - 5 minutes of Bruce Lee

I saw "Game of Death" last night and yes it was really bad. I've read really bad reviews of the movie but someone bought me the Bruce Lee 5 video pack (which interestingly excludes "Enter the Dragon") so I decided to watch it. As you may know, Bruce died before the film was finished. However they tried to finished the film with about 5 minutes of Bruce Lee video. The rest of the film had some double with his face hidden with either shadow, huge sunglasses, a tinted motorcycle helmet, facing away from the camera, or the worst one, Bruces face cut out and pasted on the film. Other interesting camera angles included full body shot of the person Billie Lo (Bruces character) is talking to or fighting then a really close up shot of Bruces face (obviously taken from some other movie).

To add insult, Bruces double had no where the skill, or finese, or even fighting technique that bruce had. Then again not many people could ever have the speed that Bruce had.

Acting - After hearing partial dubbing along with english speaking characters and terrible acting I pretty much left my finger on fast forward till the fight scenes.

If i were to score this out of 10 I would barely give it 2-3

EDITOR
As you can see, I've been a little busy with the site. I hope you like the new look as much as I do. As you know there is a second URL address for Tae Kwon do Australia at http://members.xoom.com/tkdaustralia/. This as been more of a re direct site, but eventually it will become a mirror site. The reason is because I'm finding that the geocities site adds quite a bit of overhead to each page. There popup windows or the geoguide and the geocities water mark. The water mark really slows down the scrolling on my page. Its really starting to annoy me. And if I'm getting annoyed, I'm sure almost everyone else is. Thats one of the reasons i've been changing the look of the page (yet again). I've minimised pictures on the page but it still has not helped the slow scrolling. I really ought to get the full version of Ms Front page, rather than front page express.

Humour

I've seen a few sites with the same documents, I wish I knew who exactly started them so I could give credit. But I've added a few. You've probabily seen them before. I might do what everyone else is doing and copy them and add a few more items to each page.

Added some humour links from SK Tae Kwon Do Academy. Here are a few links from their Martial Arts Humor page.
