Trivia:

Bruce Lee had filmed over 30 minutes of fight scenes for Game of Death (1978) when work was suspended to allow Lee to work on Enter the Dragon (1973). However, Lee died before he could return. Six years later, director Robert Clouse fleshed out a feature around the original footage with a new cast, including two stand-ins for Lee. After the success of Game of Death in Japan, there was high demand for a new Bruce Lee movie there. As a result, much of the movie is filmed in and takes place in Japan.

Goofs:

Continuity: Bobby Lo somersaults forward over Chin Ku in mid-air, however he's finishes it backwards in the next take.

Quotes:

Lewis: Bobby Lo? Could he be Billy Lo's Brother?

An amusing film

This movie is not as bad as people say, the fight scenes are believable, and the music is pretty good. The stand-ins are ridiculous, but hey they where typical of post- Bruce Lee movies. There's even a little nudity in this one for skin fans, but overall a decent film, not better than any of Bruce's though.
