Other Game of Death Films

After the death of Bruce Lee, several studios exploited the situation by making their own versions of Game of Death based on what they had learned of the story from production stills and magazine articles. Some of these films pre-dated Robert Clouse's "official" Game of Death (1978).

• Goodbye Bruce Lee: His Last Game of Death (新死亡遊戲) (1975)
• The New Game of Death (詠春大兄) (1976)
• Enter the Game of Death (十字手拳/死亡魔塔) (1978)
• The True Game of Death (決鬥死亡塔) (1979)
• Game of Death II (死亡塔 Tower of Death) (1981)

Clouse's film had a sequel in 1981 kung fu action mystery film, Game of Death II, which used cut footage from Bruce's Enter the Dragon film to have him make an appearance in the beginning of the film, only to be killed off midway, allowing his on-screen brother to take on the role of protagonist. Aside from the English dub giving the "Bruce Lee" character the name Billy Lo, this movie would seem to have no connection with Clouse's film, and it was directed by Ng See Yuen.

Wong Jing's film City Hunter also has a similar premise. Jackie Chan as Ryu Saeba takes on two tall black men and the film uses clips of Bruce Lee vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to get the better of the two.
