what's the bigger disgrace?


Game of Death, or this? they both probably made Bruce roll in his grave, both were debacles, they both made a mockery of him.

this was pretty bad, it's such a disgrace

I would have to say this movie would have been the bigger disgrace to him. Only for the fact that is was accessible to his children. Bruce may have been a dog to his wife, but I will never believe that he would have wanted something like this thrown in his kids' faces.

At least with 'Game of Death' you could laugh at how absurd it is.

This however, is just sad.

"Game of Death", no contest. "Bruce Lee: His Last Days, His Last Nights" was a tawdry exploitation flick and that's exactly how it was advertised (and the tawdriness of the film has much more to do with Betty Ting Pei than with Bruce Lee, actually). "Game of Death", on the other hand, is a genuinely offensive little piece of nastiness. Consider the forces at work here: Golden Harvest, the studio that Lee singlehandedly put on the map, takes fifteen minutes of Lee fight footage, builds a storyline around it that bears absolutely no resemblance to Lee's original concept (requiring extensive and artless use of doubles), and has the sheer, unmitigated gall to advertise it as a Bruce Lee film.
*That* is offensive with a capital O. Shaw Brothers' funny little dud of a biopic is nothing compared to the tastelessness of "Game".
