Star Bruce Lee died before this film was completed, thus the producers were forced to pad out the running time with outtakes and alternate shots. They also lifted chunks of footage from Enter the Dragon and Return of the Dragon. The finished product finally hit the screens in 1978, five years after Lee's death. The film's finale pits Lee against such formidable opposition as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chuck Norris. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Robert Clouse's Game of Death, best known for being Bruce Lee's last film and the one in which he fights basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This 20th Century Fox release is highly recommended to Lee fans and genre enthusiasts, but there may not be enough here to interest others. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
