New audio? '- How do you like that?'

Hello

I just bought the Game Of Death - Limited Platinum Edition DVD. This DVD has a section called "Game Of Death Revisited" which I understand is the same lost footage that is included in the documentary Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey.

However I noticed that the audio dialog was different from the first GoD -78. For example when Dan Inosanto strikes Bruce with his nunchacu and says "-How do you like that?". Its a different voice.

As I haven't watched the documentary Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey I would like to know if this documentary also has new audio added.

Hope to get an answer

Well I can't really say "new audio" per say. Basically it contains the original dialogue that was filmed for the true "Game of Death" (not the version that Robert Clouse put out). The dialogue pretty much resembled Bruce Lee's philosophies about the martial arts. Like in the scene where he fights Dan Inosanto, Bruce talks about the flexibility of the bamboo stick he has. It's symbolic of the flexibility of jeet kune do. And after Inosanto says "How do you like that?", Bruce stikes back with his nunchaku and says "How do YOU like that?", pretty much taunting him.

"Be water my friend."- Bruce Lee

So you mean that the audio from Game of Death -78 isn't the orginal audio? As Dan Insanto has two different voices in GoD -78 and the true GoD I think one of them has to be fake.

Actually when I look at it seems like the lip sync is better on the GoD -78. But on the other hand I cant understand why they would put a new audio on the true GoD when they are showing the real version.

Why does the dubbing of the Korean fighter sound like a computer/voice synthesiser?

[–] stoned_soldier 19 years ago

Because his English is horrible. Just listen to him on the documentary. Over the decades it has improved a little bit.

As I understand it GOD was shot without sound and therefore all the voices were dubbed in later. But in "A Warrior's Journey" the dubbing for the Korean fighter ("Red means danger" etc.) doesn't even sound like a human voice, it sounds like they used a computer or voice synthesiser. The other dubbed voices at least sound "natural".

I totally burst out in laughter aftering hearing his horrid english dub, it was the worst piece of dubbing I've ever heard. But the whole dvd is great.

I think what they actually did was record his lines a number of times, decided it was completely hopeless to have a 'good take' and just spliced the best pronounced fragments together to form complete sentences. I assume that they realized having the original actor there for the documentary would add some 'authenticity' to the footage. It was quite silly though!

LOL Trust me. It's just a really thick Korean accent.

I know what you mean. I think they may have hired Steven Hawking to do the voice over.

All of Bruce's speaking parts were done by John Little on "A Warrior's Journey" and Bey Logan did Bruce's voice in "Bruce Lee in G.o.D" which
is the Japanese version found on The Game of Death Platinum release.

I was going to post my own question of who did Bruce's voice on the Warrior Journey's cut of the "Game of Death" footage. Because it almost sounds like Bruce from his "Enter the Dragon" days. To my dad's dying day, he thought it was Bruce. Alas, I know there is no way that Bruce ever recorded a track for the dialogue. If that was narrator John Little on the Warrior Journey's cut of the footage, then if they ever do the aborted cgi movie on Bruce Lee, if Little's around, he should voice it, because if he did Lee, its uncanny.

Anybody know who did it on the Hong Kong legends box. Was that Bey Logan? I can't really stand the voice, and they used different dialogue too. The footage on the Hong Kong Legends box is cleaner, but I liked John Little's direction of the footage much better.

It was John Little on Warriors Journey, and if its sounds exactly like bruce from Enter the Dragon it may be because Little also did Bruces voice for the scene with the monk in the beginning, because this was a deleted scene reinstated, I think they didnt have the audio to match after all these years.

Anyone who says Warriors Journey used Bruces voice is wrong becuase that foorage was filmed without sound.

The two documentaries use different takes on their versions of the edits. The one on the Platinum disc came from the Japanese DVD entitled "Bruce Lee in G.o.D." It contains Dan Inosanto's real voice. Bruce's voice was done by Bey Logan; who does a lot of commentaries for HKL and does one for this disc also. John Little dubs Bruce's voice in "A Warrior's Journey" and the reinserted scene in Enter the Dragon. I think Bey Logan does a better job. Also, on the WJ DVD the Korean fighter does his own voice. It was a terrible reading but at least they got the real guy to do it.

The WJ edit seems to flow better but I prefer the BL in G.o.D. more. Maybe, because it looks so cleaned up compared to the washed out scratchy look of WJ.

If you get the UK version of WJ there is a 15 minute re enactment of what G.o.D. may have looked like if Bruce finished the film. They went to the actual airport and temple to film.
