Game of Death (1978)

On this VIDEO episode of the podcast, Phillip talks about Game of Death from 1978. The Bruce Lee movie that came out 5 years after his death. The show begins with Phillip giving the general information about the film. It's then time to hear Listener Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. He then goes through the 1978 version of the film and then discusses what Bruce Lee's original idea was for the film in 1972. There is a sad story that Phillip forgot to mention on the show. Gig Young married Kim Schmidt shortly after filming, she was 31 and he was 64. Three weeks after her marriage to actor Gig Young, Schmidt was found dead in their apartment - the victim of an apparent murder-suicide. Young's Oscar was found near their bodies. No information about why the murder-suicide occurred, but it was obvious that Young was suffering from the many complications of his alcoholism. Phillip then answers the question of whether he noticed anything in this movie that Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. He then rates the movie. Then he answers whether he would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. It's then time for Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Ballerina (2025). Phillip then promotes next week's episode, when he will be joined by Kassandra Kochendorfer from the Big Lee Marvin Fan podcast for, Slaughter (1972).
