Extremely dumb question.


I have the DVD for this film (great documentary BTW, easily one of the better and more respectful Bruce Lee retrospectives out there). On the case and on nearly every review for the disc I can find online, it claims to feature the (vast majority of at least) footage Lee shot for Game of Death's Pagoda climax, as well as a re-enactment of the script's story set-up filmed by the documentary's director John Little.

However on my copy, while the actual Game of Death footage is present and accounted for, the re-enactment portion seems to be missing. There's a split second snippet or two of it sprinkled about the documentary itself, but otherwise nada. Is it a bonus easter egg that I'm not finding? An extra feature I've overlooked? Or is there several versions of this film floating around, some with the re-enactment, some without?

I'm well aware of how blitheringly stupid this question is, not to mention how utterly clueless I'm coming across as in asking it, but I've had this DVD for quite some time now and have scoured it repeatedly and come up empty. Little help here?

The re-enactment in the documentary are only brief scenes. It was not fully re-enacted for the documentary. Just certain scenes were. There are some movies made that follow the original script idea of Bruce. To find those, look up the Game of Death and there are people who will help you find a true re-enactment.

They screwed up the U.S. release. If you really want to see it you have to get the U.K. version.

Sorry to bump but can you elaborate on that?
