Game of Death II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Game of Death II (also known as "Tower of Death") (traditional Chinese: 死亡塔) is a 1981 sequel to Bruce Lee's last and partially completed film Game of Death. Due to Bruce Lee's untimely death, the film uses stock film from Lee's old films; mostly from Enter the Dragon. Aside from the English dub giving the "Bruce Lee" character the name Billy Lo, this movie would seem to have no connection with Robert Clouse's film. The film, like its predecessor, is disowned by fans of Bruce Lee, however fans who choose to ignore the "bruceploitation" aspect of the movie tend to enjoy the wonderful fight scenes choreographed by Yuen Woo Ping, as such the film gained more respect than its predecessor.
