Bruce Lee’s Final Movie Game of Death Allegedly Shows His Real Corpse

When Bruce Lee was tinkering with “Game of Death,” he obviously didn’t intend for his corpse to be in the final product. Circumstances forced director Robert Clouse to completely shift “Game of Death,” removing almost all of Lee’s philosophical ideas, save for key action sequences. The Hong Kong icon’s original version featured Lee as a retired martial arts champion whose life is turned upside down after his siblings are kidnapped by gangsters. In a bid to save them, Lee’s hero recruits other fighters to join him as he goes through five different levels of a pagoda (a multi-tier tower), each of which has a unique enemy. At the top of the tower is a specific relic that the protagonist needs to acquire. 

Stylistic and filled with ruminative ideas about martial arts, the final version of the film helmed by Clouse barely resembles this. With Lee gone, the filmmaker pivoted the narrative into a revenge film. In that version, Lee stars as Billy Lo, a famous martial artist who is at odds with the mafia. The character fakes his death (which is where footage of Lee’s funeral and his corpse comes from) and sets out to destroy the villains. 

The released version of “Game of Death” only features 11 minutes of the footage Lee originally filmed and reuses certain scenes from his previous films. While the final product obviously wasn’t what the martial artist wanted audiences to see, it does boast some of Lee’s most epic fight scenes ever.
