Redneck Windshield Defroster

actually, iirc, Brandon Lee's gun had been filled previously with half loads (less gunpowder, with slug) and the slug got caught in the barrel. later they used blanks for a different scene (full gunpowder, no slug) that propelled the lodged slug out and into Brandon Lee.

ahhh, game of death. its best just to fast forward all the way to the ascending tower battles at the end. the old nintendo game kung fu was baised on this theme.

bruce lee's yellow jumpsuit from this movie has been referanced in films like kill bill and shaolin soccer. of course, you could probably go on all day noting things that have referances to this movie or bruce lee.

kareem abdul-jabbar is badass in this film. so friggin' huge next to bruce lee.

Re the quotation: "If you love life, don’t waste time - for time is what life is made of" - Bruce Lee

I don't know if this was an error on the writer's part, or whether Bruce Lee really said it. If the latter, he was most likely borrowing (knowingly or unknowingly) from Ben Franklin, who was famous for this quotation (albeit expressed in language that's two and a half centuries old)

At http://www.bartleby.com/100/245.html
a page listing some entries from the famous Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, you can read:

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Maxims prefixed to Poor Richard’s Almanac, 1757."

I remember seeing Game of Death at the drive-in theater when it was new, but I was totally unaware of the bizarre circumstances behind it. I was young.

Plan 9 from Outer Space also dealt with the death of its star, Bela Lugosi, who died suring filming, by having a body double stand in for him in many scenes in the movie (often half-covering his face with his cape, but not ever really looking like Lugosi). Ed Wood also spliced in previous home footage he had of Lugosi into the film.

A lot of actors and comedians die all the time since Hollywood was created. A nice way to destroy the hard work of a movie director is to dispose one of the main actors/actress.

Sometime movie directors make secret deals with their stars and other movie studio to simply fake their death. The movie director will never work again but he's already filty rich so he dont really care.

Take a special note of the film personnel who worked for one studio before the sudden death of an actor or actress and who they work for after.

Hollywood is the jungle of Capitalism.

I remember watching Game of Death and I still remember that scene where they literally pasted Bruce Lee's cutout face picture onto the double.

Anyways this is a nice remembrance of a truly great icon and entertainer, RIP Bruce.

I WAS VERY SAD TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF BRUCE LEE I SAW THE MOVIE THE GAME OF DEATH BUT I DISLIKE THE WAY THAY PUT HIS FACE ON SOMEONE THAT WAS WRONG THAT WAS NOT THE WAY I WONT TO REMBER HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.BRUCE

Every after two months I must watch one of the movie of Bruce lee. I really miss him, and I ask myself why he died that way while he was so strong. why?
