Stoned Soldier, there are 2 versions of Game of Death, Bruce Lee's unfinished version, than the other is the one that came out 6 years later (using body doubles and shots concealing Lee's face). You must have see the later version, which only contains about 10-20 minutes of the real Bruce Lee, the rest is just body doubles or cardboard cut-outs that are tactically placed so you have a hard time actually seeing the actor's face.
Also, I for one like that Bruce Lee showed weakness, which makes perfect sense since his fighting style (of having no style) is highly realistic, so to his fights should be realistic. Nobody is Super Man, and even the best fighters can take abuse and feel pain. It's really a shame that the second Game of Death left out so much fight footage that Bruce Lee had.
