![]() ![]() The fights with Wong Ing Sik and Bob Wall while short, are underrated even by Lee fans. The perfect marriage between art and realism. The sequences are not overly choreographed or played in slow motion or 'lightly' then speeded up, but contain a raw, feral edge combined with breathless technique. ![]() Obviously influenced by Sergio Leones trilogy, tension is excellently built up before fight. Now, the film features the best array of fighting sequences ever commited to celluloid. The script is bad in a few places, particularly the humour, but this film was never inteneded for the west, but designed to appeal to his country men. Many have wrongly stated this film is bad, having not seen the originals where you can really appreciate the composition of the showdowns (visual director with potential - see the rare 'rocking chair' shot in Game of Death). Although this is technically not Lees greatest film, it is a personal favourite since Lee was in full control and everything is pure Lee. ![]()
