Some interesting facts about Bruce Lee...

Bruce Lee only completed four movies in his life:
The Big Boss (a.k.a. Fists of Fury)
Fist of Fury (a.k.a. the Chinese Connection)
Way of the Dragon (a.k.a. Return of the Dragon)
Enter the Dragon

Game of Death uses only about 20-25 minutes of the real Bruce Lee. The rest is a lookalike, which is why you never see a closeup of his face. Another interesting tidbit is that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was actually a student of Lee's.

Any other film that has is purported to star Bruce Lee is likely an imitator - and believe me, there were tons. The three biggest fake Bruce Lee's were Bruce Le, Bruce Li, and Dragon Lee. These have since been dubbed "Bruceploitation" films. In fact, Jackie Chan was originally marketed as the second coming of Bruce Lee, before finding his own niche with the kung-fu comedy genre.

Bruce Lee actually "kills" Jackie Chan in Enter the Dragon. Jackie appears twice in the film: first, as one of the thugs chasing Lee's sister, and later as one of Han's thugs in the underground lair.
