Hello all! I was just wondering.. witch of Bruce Lee's archive footage in this movie, in the begining, was cut from his past movies and witch was first time seen there! For instance the scene where he was talking to the priest with the yellow robe, i don't remember watching it before in any of his films.. or perhaps it was somewhere and hadn't noticed it.. Im also interested for the other parts where he appears as well. Im looking forward for your help!
Thanks!

It's from Enter the Dragon. The footage with the priest was one of the scenes deleted from the original theatrical exhibition, and was restored later when the first DVD editions came about.
sharemost notably the fight in the Greenhouse with Bruce Lee. That footage was cut from "Game of Death I" so western audiences saw that one for the first time. Actually Bruce is in the whole first half of "Game of Death II," more than I expected he would be. He is inserted into the film in very clever ways, much more effectively than in the first GOD film. They even utilize ultra-rare footage from Lee's childhood film roles, and a scene from an obscure romantic film from his teen years. I avoided this film for a long time because i imagined it would be a waste of time, but "Game of Death II" really is required viewing for any Bruce fan.
"IMdB; where 14 year olds can act like jaded 40 year old critics...'
The only "new" scene now is the one where bruce picks up the "Boxing manual" in Bobby's room, turns it over and puts it down.
Originally Bruce talking to the abbot, him drinking tea and the close up of him walking by the pigeons were all unseen in the west. Now though they are restored in the opening to enter the dragon, so you can see them in the real context.
