In a nut shell: And so we reach the REAL Game of Death footage. I have to say here and now that the actual film looks fabulous. Anamorphic widescreen and totally cleaned up, it makes John Little's edit look like a cheap pirate copy. A must have for any bruce lee fan
Sound: Dolby Digital 2:0 Stereo. Great clear stereo mix.
In English and Cantonese
The dolby digital stereo track is very cool, with Bruce's 'borrowed' fight sounds matching a hell of a lot better than the afore mentioned version. A nice touch is that one can hear a cool wind effect that filters in to the Pagoda, during the entire sequence.
BRUCE LEE in G.O.D. for the uninitiated is a Japanese alternative to the U.S. documentary 'A Warrior's Journey'. Where John Little's film sets out to chart Bruce Lee's life, career and philosophical approach to film-making via the 'long-lost' Game of Death footage, this theatrically released film (in Japan only I might add), looks at things from a totally different perspective. In this version, director Toshikazu Okushi decides to present us with his version of the last year of Bruce Lee's life through a mix of a bizzare 'bio-style' film, interviews with Bruce's colleagues and a different edit of the above Game of Death footage.
