Bruce Lee Game of Death
Poster based of Bruce Lee Game of Death is an incomplete 1972 Hong Kong martial arts film directed, written, produced by and starring Bruce Lee, in his final film attempt.. In late 1972, Lee began work on his fourth Golden Harvest Film, Game of Death. He began filming some scenes including his fight sequence with 7 ft 2 in (218 cm) American Basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a former student. Production was stopped when Warner Brothers offered Lee the opportunity to star in Enter the Dragon, the first film to be produced jointly by Golden Harvest and Warner Bros. The original footage was about 39 minutes. The goal of the film's plot was to showcase Lee's beliefs regarding the principles of martial arts. As each martial artist is defeated (including Lee's allies), the flaws in their fighting style are revealed. Bruce Lee's character in the game of Death is dressed in a one piece yellow track suit symbolising "No Affiliation with any style of Martial Art". The Master of Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee's character despises the system of traditional Martial Arts and adapts to whatever he encounters. His character is like Water, flowing to whatever the deadly surroundings are. Many of the other Martial Artists in "Game Of Death" wore traditional Martial Arts costumes, while Bruce wears the opposite famous yellow and black tracksuit, which is to show "Imagination rising above tradition". Bruce Lee's character believes that the Martial Artist has to be better than the Martial Tradition. Bruce brings two weapons along with him. A pair of yellow "Nunchakus" and a "Bako", which is a thin bamboo stick. The Robert Clouse 78 version only shows 11out of the 39 minutes out of the original footage since the plot is completely different from the original. I drew out Bruce Lee and the font within Adobe Illustrator and Indesign. I Tried to make him as accurate as possible.
