Description (Brief)
The Game of Death was directed, written, and produced by and starred Bruce Lee, but it wasn’t finished before Lee’s death in 1973. Director Robert Clouse was brought in to finish the film using two stand-ins, and it was later released in 1978. After Bruce Lee’s death, several studios made their own versions of Game of Death based on what they knew about the story from production stills and magazine articles. One of these films was Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death, which was released in 1975. This poster is likely from the knock-off film Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death since it is copyrighted 1975. The film starred an actor named Bruce Li, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not appear in this Brucesploitation film.
