As I mentioned on The Big Boss update, this was my favourite at first because of the bikes, I think at that age the tricks actually worked on me and I didn't realise it wasn't Bruce
I also didn't know that he'd died over 20 years ago, I was pretty upset when mum told me 
But I do remember being confused about them shooting FOF and WOTD in the film itself, it messed with my little head 
I can see why people don't count this as a Bruce film as the choreography in most of it is so different, but it's still some great action and I love it.previous HKMDB cast list

Brand new to HKMDB are Chen Yao-po (aka Abert Sham), Kim Schmidt [actor + script supervisor] (aka Ruth Schimdt Young born 30Nov1946 in Schwalmstadt, Hesse, Germany. Died on 19Oct1978 in New York City, New York, USA.) and Barry Bakker (born South Africa 1945-24Sep2002).
other credits to add to the film were: Yuen Biao; Lam Hak-ming; Chin Yuet-sang; John Ladalski and Warwick Paul Evans (added his DOB 1954 UK + his own mini bio from IMDB).
put in notes: The 1978 film (GOD) was created using: footage that Bruce Lee had shot for the original concept of the film titled "Game Of Death" back in 1972; splicing footage from other Bruce Lee films and a variety of filming tricks; and new footage featuring two Bruce Lee stand-ins, Korean martial artist Kim Tae-jeong and local businessman Chen Yao-po, with Yuen Biao and other stuntmen doubling Kim for certain movements.
put in notes: Dan Inosanto was the only actor from the original 1972 footage who returned to shoot scenes for the new version of the film.
I discovered the credits for Warwick Paul Evans and Kim Schmidt thanks to the IMDB, of course I did make sure to check these as we know what a mess IMDB can be when it comes to HK films, but IDing them wasn't so easy
They also credited Robert Clouse as one of Carl Miller's cornermen, but I'm not convinced, they had some clear mistakes too, like crediting Yuen Wah as one on Lo Chen's cornermen. They and the HKMDB have credited Andre Morgan as "Extra", but I'm afraid I couldn't spot him. Does anyone know were to find him?No idea who Billy McGill is. Couldn't find any info on him or the character John. It didn't help that when listening closely to the English dub, there were at least 2 and possibly 3 people referred to as John
So it seems to be a dead end.David Hu and Peter Gee thinking: I've made an educated guess as to which guy is David or Peter, I decided on the no-glasses guy as David because he is the first introduced; has more dialogue as he speaks to Dr Land; and speaks two languages. We'll probably never know for sure - If someone has evidence of which is which that'd be great - also I can remove the names if the consensus is that they should be. Has anyone seen different audio, is there any clues e.g. Mr Hu etc.
I didn't take pics of Patrick Kim Jin-pal and Fung Ging-man from Bruce's real funeral.
I didn't take any pics of Chuck Norris as he's only in archive footage, that if memory serves me, he was not happy about that and his name being used as if he was actually in the film.
I merged motobikers and Macau fighter's into one role as I believe they're meant to be the same people, we do see Fung Hak-on and Mars in both outfits, but the rest are too difficult for me to see.
Also, I spotted Mars doubling for Hugh falling down stairs + doubling for the biker that gets the famous yellow tracksuit stolen from him.
Some people seem to think Don Barry is the stand-in for Jabar, but I'm not seeing it.
The greenhouse fight pics were taken from my copy of GOD2 but have been added here where they truly belong.
I added The Game Of Death Korean data
