Better Luck Tomorrow and
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift director
Justin Lin takes a comic look at a longstanding bit of cinema mythology with this
mockumentary exploring the making of
Bruce Lee's unfinished final film
Game of Death. When
martial arts star
Lee died in 1973 after having shot roughly twenty-minutes of the full-length feature, director
Robert Clouse vowed to complete the film using a
Bruce Lee look-a-like. Though the film was eventually released into theaters in 1978, fans continue to debate just how much involvement
Lee had in the making of the film nearly three decades after the fact. Perhaps viewers will never know for certain just how much of
Lee they are seeing in the final product, but in this knowing
satire director
Lin offers a hilarious look at how things might have gone down while simultaneously skewering mainstream cinema for it's stereotypical treatment of Asian-American actors.
