Han Jae Ji in Bruce Lee's Game of Death

[complete]

I was watching a documentary on Bruce Lee and they had a bit on how his last movie "Game of Death" was made after his death.

Any way, I knew there was a Korean fighter that was in one of the towers but didn't know who he was until they mentioned that it was "Han Jae Ji", very famous grandmaster of Hapkido.

You can find more info on him here.

Great Stuff,

Seems like the name "Hapkido" was meant to be.

This is neat. I don't care if, as Adminstrator, you have no real use for rep points, I'm giving you one anyway.
I think you've just added another style to add to my list of "will learn this someday."
Thank you.

But does anyone know how BL came up with the concept?

Andd there was a video game that stole and capped of it as well.

The documentary said it was inspired by the pagodas in Nepal.

They (Bruce and the film crew) originally went to India for location scouting and trying to come up with the concept for the movie but they didn't find anything in India but they liked what they saw in Nepal.

I have to disagree. Enter The Dragon wasd by far the best in my opinion. It lee had been around for game of death, of course i feel itd be better but the fact that he doesnt appear until the final 20 minutes, the film was just a grotesque offensive joke
