The death of Bruce Lee in 1973 did not stop movies starring Bruce Lee (or Bruce Le, Dragon Lee and Bruce Li) from coming out. He's a lot like Tupac, in that both were briefly MCs for Digital Underground.
Game of Death is directed by Wisconsin's own Robert Clouse, who also made Enter the Dragon with Lee and the BMN killer rat movie Deadly Eyes with martial arts great Scatman Crothers. It stars Colleen Camp, the maid in Clue, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
That makes this one of three movies Abdul-Jabbar has starred in. The others are Airplane! and something called Whitepaddy from 2006. I looked into the latter and found it was written and directed by a woman named Geretta Geretta
who I was surprised to learn has been in three BMN movies, including the other rat movie, Rats: Night of Terror. It's a small rodent world after all. I swear I didn't just go through all of that just for that joke.
Tai Chung Kim began his career as a look-alike for the deceased Bruce Lee in Game of Death and ended his career playing the ghost of Bruce Lee in No Return, No Surrender. He sorta-kinda looks like Lee.
No Return, No Surrender is Jean-Claude Van Damme's first credited role but he sorta-kinda famously appears as an extra in Breakin' 1: Not As Well-Known Because This Subtitle Isn't Funny:
The director of NR, NS, Corey Yuen, made the first Transporter movie starring Jason Statham so he's still a thing. He also helmed dynamic movies like The Defender, The Enforcer and Female Reporter. Also: previously mentioned Oily Maniac.
Here's what happened last week:
