Cast
Bruce Lee (Posthumous appearance, used with archive footage)
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 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]
