Done with the first third of the official version of Game of Death. It's like a bizarre dream. In this movie, Billy Lo and the production team are shooting the ending scene from the first version of Game of Death, in which Billy runs from the school doors through the open gates into the police squad that shoots him down. A syndicate member puts a real bullet inside a gun and fires (a chilling portent of the death of Bruce Lee's own son, Brandon, during the shooting of an edition of The Crow). Billy is taken to hospital, his face injured. The men who are on his side decide to change his identity and announce to the world that Billy Lo is dead. More funeral shots of the Bruce Lee funeral.

Very interesting. Both versions of Game of Death fit like metaphysical, three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle pieces. If version #1 came before version #2, you get one implication. If version #2 came before version #1, you get another. Though both may very well have been shot at the same time, I believe that my sequence is the correct one, because version #2 gives added dimension to version #1.

Will view more later. My attention still flags. When the producers need to develop the story, all the action scenes stop and what you get is a series of talky discussion scenes by inferior actors not looking at home against their equally inferior sets.
