Info

In this dark tale of revenge, Bruce Lee "returns" as Billy Lo, whose best friend Chin Ku dies of a sudden illness. But suspicion of foul play arises when a gang tries to steal Ku's coffin at the funeral using a helicopter. When Lo's younger brother Lo hears about the incident, he leaves his Buddhist master to investigate the truth. His trail soon leads him to the Castle of Death, the last place Chin Ku was seen alive. There, he meets and befriends an unlikely ally--a cruel and merciless martial arts expert who is also the tower's master. But when the master dies under mysterious circumstances, Lo ends up dueling with someone far more terrifying.

Game of Death II Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
lost-in-limbo "Game of Death" was a mess of a feature and this follow-up (which supposedly took three years to complete) is no different, but I did find the sequel more fun. Again we get the tag of Bruce Lee starring, but stock-footage and look-a-likes of Lee are cobbled together with short- fused live-action. It could have stand alone as it's not much of a sequel, other than having the Billy Lo character returning, but only for the first half-hour when suddenly he's killed off and his rebellious younger brother Bobby Lo (played by Tong Lang) takes centre stage. Billy Lo is in Japan after the death of a good friend (the skillful Korean Tae- Kwon-do master Hwang Jang Lee), but in trying to investigate how he died he bites the dust. So his brother Bobby Lo heads to Japan looking for vengeance thinking that he knows who did it, but he discovers there's more to it with the answers lying in the mysterious tower of death where no-one has ever returned alive. Rather low-budget martial arts junk which feels cramped, but when the martial arts choreography shows up it is swift and fierce (which is quoted in film) in its execution flair thanks to being orchestrated by legendary action director Yuen Woo-Ping. The plot is silly and questionable, eventually ending up like a James Bond adventure where the expansive finale is an exciting barrage of masterful hand-on-hand combat in a picturesque lair. The mystery surrounding the circumstances of Billy Lo's friend's death is predictable and uninspired, but still outrageous that it's hard not to see what's about to unravel. It's the phenomenally slick action, fluid camera-work and exotic locations when it's not using obvious sets that engage. Although the muddled dramatics are campy and there are some hilarious sequences too, like Roy Horan's character taking about his peacocks, eating raw meat and drinking deer blood for breakfast or when Bobby Lo takes on a lion… or was it supposes to be someone in a costume??? Hard to tell. "Game of Death 2" is colourful in parts, but mostly an average martial arts thriller. "You're lucky I'm a fair man, otherwise you'd be dead. Beat it!"
r-c-s this film is a psychedelic hodgepodge featuring Bruce Lee in stock footage and even showing him in his childhood and youth. Fight scenes deserve a B but the rest is a hurried, chaotic mess. Scenery is most fake: when Billy Lo fights the thugs after meeting the bar girl, it is clearly a damn cheap in-studio shoot; the underground Bond-styled base of the drug dealers is just ridiculous, with a world map flashing with lights. The plot is paper-thin to non-existent and very chaotic at that: many events make no sense at all and some subplots are clearly a poor excuse for a fight scene. Miranda Austin's twenty seconds of frontal nudity are the only redeeming quality of this C-tier low-budgter with awful soundtrack, poor English dubbing and poverty-stricken scenes.
Jim Inatti You know, i'm a Bruce lee fan, but this movie is cold as hell.Of course they did it after Bruce died because i really doubt the real Bruce would like to do that film been alive.It's not like the seventies movies you know, it was different, the movie was not good, the plot has not sense at all, the villains are really dumb, some good fights but nothing special in the other Bruce's films we can see better fights.So for me, well i haven't see fist of fear and fury of the dragon, but Including big boss, fist of fury,return of the dragon, enter the dragon and game of death this one is the worst.I'll give it 6/10 and only because i fell respect for Bruce Lee.
BorisSlashSal I'll just say that the film is constructed so poorly that it is outrageously funny. I watched it with friends, and I recommend everyone does the same. If you have even half of a sense of humour, you'll be laughing for literally 80% of the film.Everything about the film is wrong: trying to resurrect Bruce Lee with scraps of footage and a guy that "kinda" looks like him; having a man dress up as a lion and go toe to toe with the lead character; having sets that belong in a star trek episode; having jesus play the bad duy. The best/worst parts are the "twists," which are so inconsequential they needn't have bothered. The makers could not have made a funnier film had they tried. Any film that includes the line: "I may be a jung-fu master, but I need cash!" must be essential viewing.
