Plot summary
Bruce Lee's death in 1973 left Game of Death incomplete, so the executives at the studio set out to find someone who can take his place and finish the picture. It poses as a documentary about that search, following the candidates for the part and the executives weighing them, along with the greed and the racial thinking that shape the choice. The film also pokes fun at the 1972 production, which relied on body doubles and footage borrowed from Lee's other movies, and it keeps a careful eye on the details of the decade.
