GAME OF DEATH
(Robert Clouse/1978/100min/DVD)
A
young Kung-fu movie star refuses to sign with the syndicate, bringing
him
into deadly Kung-fu action. Bruce Lee's final film: he died halfway through
filming, and the movie was finished with outtakes and a double.
"The final 15 minutes, with Lee taking on Kareem Abdul Jabbar and other greats, are thrilling and enough to boost a mediocre movie to a decent one. And the climax is among the best martial arts scenes ever made." (Movies in the Attic)
Special Event: Closing Program and Panel Discussion:

Assistant Professor of Comparative Studies. Reception at
6 p.m.
