Bruce Lee & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in “Game of Death”
We’ve been on a bit of a Bruce Lee kick [no pun intended] lately, but that is always a good great thing. These photos of Bruce and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from Game of Death are still amazing over 40 years later.

Absolutely times 10 !!! So so interesting …that unlike most films of any actor (tho it happens) Bruce Lee was interrupted on set with the offer from Weintraub (rip recently) to go make ENTER THE DRAGON, which leaves these pictures and this film GAME OF DEATH in the mystique and appreciation it has til this very day in that it is a CLASSIC of all fight scenes w the amazing Kareem Abdul Jabbar, that STUNNING HEIGHT DIFFERENCE, of a film that was never finished because of Lee’s very unfortunate, shocking, and devastating to the millions of admirers of him…his passing. All this of course ad’s to the magnificent legend of this magnificent last ten min of his movie : GAME OF DEATH.
(notable mention: i just noticed looking at this picture..Lee decided to keep his left arm expanded, instead of what is the classic FIST OF FURY/THE BIG BOSS pose of his flying side kick, which now represents his logo of the BRUCE LEE ESTATE, where his arm is arched over his head…)
