Five years after the release of Enter the Dragon and the death of its star Bruce Lee, director Robert Clouse was recruited by Golden Harvest to complete Lee's last, unfinished masterwork, only a third of which was filmed before he died: Game of Death. The result is an exciting rollercoaster ride that blends Lee's martial arts mastery with Clouse's eye for nail-biting suspense.
Billy Lo (Lee) is a kung fu superstar in the Hong Kong film industry whose happy life with his girlfriend Ann (Colleen Camp) is being intruded upon by a threatening group of American gangsters led by Dr Land (Dean Jagger) and henchman Steiner (Hugh O'Brian), intent on bringing Billy under their control. When Billy refuses, their lethal response sets about a chain of events where a disguised Billy turns the tables on the syndicate, fighting his way through the city for his and Ann's freedom.
With fantastic fight choreography by Sammo Hung, the leading inheritor to Lee's throne at that time, and a much-beloved music score by John Barry, Game of Death was an international smash hit that helped to keep Lee's star burning bright long after he was gone. It is accompanied here by its 1981 sequel Game of Death II (Tower of Death), one final star vehicle for Bruce Lee made using more rare footage found in the studio vaults.

Nostalgic
Game of Death is an exhilarating and nostalgic dive into one of Bruce Lee's most iconic yet complex films. Released posthumously after Lee's tragic death in 1973, Game of Death was a film that, in many ways, never fully came to life in the way Lee intended. However, this Blu-ray release is a love letter to Lee's enduring legacy, offering a fresh perspective on the unfinished project, bolstered by stunning visual and audio upgrades, along with a trove of extras for fans to sink their teeth into. Game of Death is a film that holds a unique place in Bruce Lee's legacy. While it may never have lived up to its potential as the project Lee envisioned, there’s an undeniable energy and passion that shines through in the final product. This limited edition Blu-ray from Arrow Films offers a fitting tribute to Lee’s work and provides an insightful, comprehensive package for fans of martial arts cinema. The restoration quality is superb, and the bonus features give a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of a film that was born out of both tragedy and triumph. If you’re a Bruce Lee fan, this release is essential. Not only does it allow you to appreciate Game of Death in a new light, but it also gives you a deeper understanding of Lee’s impact on cinema and martial arts culture. Arrow Films has truly done justice to this iconic yet imperfect film, making this Blu-ray a knockout addition to any collection.
