![]() ![]() Posthumous Credit: Bruce Lee passed away a month before Enter the Dragon was released.This is disproved by the character names (Hai Tien in Game of Death and Tang Long in Way of the Dragon) and different characterizations of the two (Hai Tien shows much less remorse than Tang Lung). There is a persistent rumor that the film is a sequel to Way of the Dragon.There are many rumors that the pagoda has more than five floors plus the ground level, and about other fighters Bruce Lee meets, like samurais, ninjas and even zombies.There are many rumors about more scenes that were filmed (like alleged fights in the car park or at the airport) that are supposedly either destroyed or in the hands of private collectors.Pop Culture Urban Legends: Several around this film because it was never finished.Playing Against Type: Dean Jagger, best known for playing cuddly grandfather types, plays the Big Bad.Currently 42 minutes of footage have been found and made public. Before 2000, about 30 minutes were still catching dust in the archives, but that year, a documentary called Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey managed to find and piece together as much of the footage as they could find (which includes all of the fight footage from the upper three levels of the pagoda), revealing for the first time the movie's original plot, based on Lee's outlines and sketches. Missing Episode: Due to the unfinished nature of the film, there have always been speculations whether more scenes might exist or not.Also "Tower of Death" took it's inspiration from the 1978 version, shooting a movie around some footage of Bruce Lee. After 1978, The True Game Of Death (1981, starring "Bruce Lee Siao-Long") was made, which ripped off the general plot, and sometimes whole segments of the film were redone almost shot for shot. Follow the Leader: The original's concept was widely copied: even before the 1978 version came out, two films were made to capitalize on the legend of Game Of Death: Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game Of Death (1975, starring Bruce Li) and Enter the Game of Death (1977, now starring Bruce Le).
