Meanwhile, Lewis is violently murdered by being hanged and stabbed and Lung believes his scarred, one-armed servant is responsible. At the same time one of the lions jumps through the window to attack and Lung has to fight it. Well, one night, Lung is seduced by a naked woman who turns out to be an assassin with a poisoned needle in her ring. ![]() Lewis is forever being challenged by other fighters (must get tiring.) and feeds their bodies to his pet lions. The second half sees Lung travelling to a remote palace where he befriends a westerner known as Lewis. The first half of the film has some street fights and assassin attacks which are fairly typical for the genre. Apart from having an amusing name, Lung lacks Lee's natural charisma but more than makes up for this in his athletic fight scenes which are very enjoyable to watch. At last the use of stock footage is finally over.Įnter the film's real hero, Tong Lung. Of course this also means we get to see footage of his funeral once again, dragged out of the cupboard since its last airing. For instance, at the funeral of his martial arts master, Lee sees a helicopter come down with a cage to steal the coffin! After jumping on to the cage he is shot with a poisoned dart and plummets to his death. It's like the makers weren't even trying to make a realistic film. The reason I love this movie is all the incredible stuff going on in it. In one scene we see an abbot in a yellow robe in (newly filmed) scenes for this movie, in the next an abbot in an orange robe is acting with Lee from a previous film (ENTER THE DRAGON)! Supposedly they're the same person although the actor and clothes are completely different. They even resort to footage of Lee as a child in one segment (a flashback)! The greenhouse fight from the previous movie is reused as are lots of close-ups of Lee's face and the back of a double again. Thankfully GAME OF DEATH II dispenses with the Lee character around halfway through, and I say thankfully because the efforts to which the makers of this movie go to convince us that Bruce Lee has a starring role are incredible and in vain. In the first film they were struggling with unbelievable doubles and inserting left-over footage from Lee's unfilmed work but just about managed to create a believable (and very popular - hence the sequel) movie. ![]() Now, it's rather incredible that Bruce Lee was still making movies nine years after his death, and I was rather incredulous as to how a sequel to GAME OF DEATH could have been produced. A well-made piece of trash perhaps, but trash all the same. Well, I've always loved all things trashy, and GAME OF DEATH II is undoubtedly trash.
