Development of a new version of the film “Game of Death” is underway

There gossip that a new TV adaptation of the action film is being developed "Game of Death" (Game of Death). The company supports the project "Fortune Star", which owns the rights to the film. Despite the fact that neither the list of actors nor the composition of the film crew has yet been officially announced, the very idea of ​​​​making a film according to the original idea is interesting Bruce Lee.

Based on the original story Lee A former champion fighter is hired by the Korean underground to use him in an attack on a temple where the carrying of firearms is prohibited. At the top of the five-story pagoda, incredible treasures await, and the floors are guarded by masters of various styles.

These masters were supposed to be Hwang In Sik (Way of the Dragon, Dragon Lord) as a deadly fighter with mastery of kicks, Taki Kimura (one of Bruce Lee's longtime friends) as a master of close combat, proficient in the Praying Mantis and Wing Chun styles, Dan Inosanto (first student and close friend) as a master of Kali, Kenpo and Nunchaku, and an expert in Hapkido Chi Hong-jae. Tall Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - the last and most dangerous master of an unknown style in which the theory was reflected Jeet Kune Dodeveloped by Bruce Lee.

During a character quest Lee were to be accompanied by two other martial arts experts: a smart but untrustworthy fighter (James Tien), and another strong in battle but not particularly smart (Yuen Chai Wan).

Note: In 1972, Lee filmed episodes of the last three floors, but, unfortunately, died in July 1973. Five years later, a completely different version of “Game of Death” was released, which was a very strange film, consisting of 11 minutes of footage with the participation of Bruce Lee , failed takes from other films, episodes with doubles and editing in the form of overlays of Lee’s “cut out” face over the face of the actor replacing him.

    "Donny in the main role....." not necessarily Donny. Danny Chan Kwok-Kwan would also look good.
