Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Bruce Lee's life, philosophy, and final film are examined in this reverent documentary, which traces the master's path through the development of his own style, his battles with mainstream Hollywood and martial arts traditionalists, and his emergence as the world's top box-office draw. Just as interesting as Lee's life is the chance to see lost footage from The Game of Death, Lee's final, unfinished film. Outtakes offer the opportunity to see Lee's perfectionism in action, and the reconstructed storyline reveals how Lee's personal martial arts philosophy shaped the film. And yes, there is a spectacular nunchakau fight. Interviews with Lee and those close to him highlight his energy, intelligence, and remarkable charisma. Fans of Lee will welcome this new insight into his filmmaking, and those unfamiliar with his life and work will come away with a new respect. The DVD includes a Lee filmography, the theatrical trailer for The Game of Death, and audio commentary by the director. --Ali Davis

Description:
Bruce Lee was an enigmatic, legendary figure at the time of his death in 1973. His popularity has never waned and this 2001 documentary on the black belt movie star attempts to explain some of his magnetic appeal. Included in this biographical film is footage of The Game of Death, the film that Lee was involved in at the time of his death. Pieced together by Lee aficionado John Little, the film's finale is a flurry of images of the master in action for over 30 minutes.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't bother with this.
Fifty bucks? Are these sellers kidding?

Don't get me wrong. Of all the documentaries made about Bruce Lee over the past 30+ years, this one is by far the most essential. Not only is it an insightful look into Lee's life, it also (rather famously) offers rare footage of the scenes HE HIMSELF filmed for Game Of Death. All things considered, this documentary is every bit as essential as his four REAL films.

That said, the reason this DVD went out of print is because it's now ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Documentary!

I own this DVD and I really enjoyed it. If you are a Bruce Lee fan you should buy this DVD.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Documentary
Besides containing some really interesting points on Bruce Lee's personal philosophies, it also contains a lot of footage from his Game of Death movie. This footage is not only exciting action-wise, but contains the subtle humor that I've come to love in all Bruce Lee movies. The first half of the documentary is about his philosophies and how they came to change throughout his life. This half contains footage from interviews and his earlier movies, which interesting narration. As said earlier, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bruce Lee - A Warrior's Journey
I bought this movie as a gift for my husband. He said it was awesome! Except for his ipod, it's the best gift I ever bought him. Considering some of the gifts I've bought, that's high praise.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The lost Bruce Lee movie!
I'll keep it simple: If you're a fan, this is an absolute must to own. The recovered footage from Game of Death is so complete that I felt I was watching a Bruce Lee movie that I didn't know existed until now. The other parts of the DVD may be old hat for true fans, but the Game of Death footage will blow you away.

Music



Sales is considered a member of the fifth generation (starring Lassus, qv.) of the so-called Flemish Polyphony (composers born in the Low Countries, essentially the present Benelux plus a part of northern France, but often also working abroad, attracted to wealthy courts and churches).

Only in 1593 he published his first collection of Motets, a dominant form of (mainly church) polyphony, which also contains the only preserved Motet by the more important Antwerp-born composer Georges De la Hèle (qv.).

Contribution endebted to KULeuven’s musicology professor Ignace Bossuyt’s book “De Vlaamse Polyfonie”.

Life

Franciscus Sales was born in Namur, the capital of the countship of the same name, one of the minor principalities (at the time collectively known as “Flemish”) of the Habsburg dynasty in the Low Countries (now in Belgium). At a ripe age (circa 36; presumable he would have been a chorister closer to home before) he became a tenor in the court chapel of the Habsburg dynasty in Prague (the capital of Bohemia — now in the Czech Republic — which was one of the Central European principalities ruled by the Austrian house) for the remaining eight years of his life.
