Talk:Game of Death

message: Removed this trivia piece that is totally uncited and seems absurd - "Game of Death is actually based on a true story in South Korea, about a Korean martial artist who was assigned to steal a treasure at the top of a pagoda. However, he declined to do so, as a result, his wife and child were kidnapped. He had no choice, but to participate in the mission along with other top martial artists at the time." --OMG LAZERS 14:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: There is misinformation in the GOD summary.  Neither Chuck Norris nor Kareem participated in the reshooting/completion of the film.  In fact, Chuck was never in it at all -- it was just clips from Return of the Dragon.  Kareem declined the invitation to work on the completion project.

:Agreed, in part. I came here to raise the questions of whether we should acknowledge in the Robert Clouse-version's cast list which people appear there only via clips from other films (Norris for one, of course), and whether Nora Miao, standing right next to Lee in the clip from the climax of Fist of Fury, is credited (the IMDb says no). Should we list her even if she is not? I also must doubt the claim that Kareem was not involved in Clouse's filming, as it certainly looks like he was, and the IMDb's page for the movie does not indicate a stand-in involved in the filming as it does for Lee (although I admit to not having seen the film in quite a few years, and won't push this point at all until and unless I do see it again; the Spike TV and G4 channels have run Fist of Fury and The Big Boss often enough, and I think Way of the Dragon as well, so I see my chances as reasonable). --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar participated only as far as recorded dialoge (saying the line "Figure it's done, man!!"). He, however, did not actually appear in the "new" footage. A "double" (in shadows) lip-sync his dialoge and stood in for him in the Clouse version. His identity has been kept a very tight screct even after all these years (and he may want to be identified since the Clouse version is concidered unpopular). This is why his name is now shown on the IMDB page. --Halls4521 (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game of Death Cast 

message: ...The band Sugar Ray, in their video for the single "When It's Over," included a segment in which one of the band members fantasizes about having a kung fu battle similar to the fight scene between Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The band member wears Lee's tracksuit, his opponent wears a beard, clothes, and sunglasses similar to Abdul-Jabbar's...
In the video, the "opponent" IS Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 25 years older. -- kjv31 21:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "Lee smashes the surrounding windows, weakening him with exposure to daylight, and finally manages to kill him."
Imho he isn't killed. The choke should only make him faint and there's nothing in the movie showing that he died from the fainting. --91.63.98.221 (talk) 20:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but to be fair, the neck snapping was not added by Bruce (and at least not described in his original script). It was added by the people who put together the various versions of his film after his death. Also, if, by chance, his character was supposed to die he could have just died from lack of oxygen.--Halls4521 (talk) 19:17, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Abdul killed? 

message: Sorry to bring up an old issue, but should we separate the original incomplete version of the film (i.e. "Game of Death (1972 version)" from the later patch together version ("Game of Death (1978 version))? Should it stay acknowledge that they're just versions of the same film? Please discuss - Thank You.Halls4521 (talk) 21:23, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody seems to have discussed separation, but in a related matter, it seems strange that the 1978 version gets second billing. Shouldn't the 1978 version (and infobox) at least be at the top? After all, the only one that's actually a "film" in common parlance is the 1978 version. The unfinished film seems at best to be historical background for the 1978 version. Joshlietz (talk) 20:54, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a very confusing article. I agree that it would make more sense to have the released version and then in the section on other versions, refer to the unreleased one.Sudiani (talk) 18:36, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Game of Death 

message: The 1978 version of the film is the official, completed version of the film and the only one that was actually released *as a film*.  Therefore, the article should lead with the information about the film that exists, not the one that was in process at the time of Lee's death.  That would then be followed by information about the incomplete version. 128.151.71.16 (talk) 15:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
