Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey ( Chinese: 李小龍:死亡遊戲之旅) is a 2000 documentary on the martial artist Bruce Lee and Jeet Kune Do. The documentary includes never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage of Bruce Lee's life, as well as parts of the original footage of his incomplete film Game of Death, which had been left out of the film. [1]
The film has five parts, the first three of which present an overview of Bruce Lee's life, including interviews of his widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, Lee's best student Taky Kimura, Hapkido Grandmaster Ji Han-jae and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who co-stars in "Game of Death". [2] The last two parts include 23 minutes of the original footage of "Game of Death". [3] [4]
Five years after Bruce Lee's death in 1973, Golden Harvest used about 11 minutes of Lee's uncompleted original footage intended by him to become the film "Game of Death", completing the rest of their 1978 film using Lee look-a-likes. Twenty-three more minutes of Lee's original footage were considered lost for 28 years, until they were discovered by Bey Logan in 1999. John Little assembled these parts according to Lee's script notes, reflecting more accurately Lee's intentions. [3] [2] [1]
The documentary was released on VHS and DVD by Warner Home Video. It was also released as a bonus feature on the 2004 edition of Enter the Dragon on DVD. [5] It was released with Lee's original English and Cantonese dubbing as part of the documentary.[ citation needed]
The dialogue of the song Be Like Water has been sampled into various Hip hop and Electronic Dance tracks and has been mentioned in academic works. [6] [7] [8]
Bruce Lee's enacted storyline for The Game of Death, directed in Korea by John Little, distributed with the documentary in DVD as special features.
