Ii (1981.) — Igra Smrti

Emphasizes the Bruce Lee connection with more archive footage and funeral scenes.

Directed by Ng See-yuen with uncredited choreography by Sammo Hung, the film faced the monumental challenge of "starring" a man who had been dead for nearly a decade. To achieve this, producers used a combination of: Igra smrti II (1981.)

The story begins with (the stock-footage Lee) investigating the mysterious death of his friend Chin Ku. In a narrative pivot designed to move past the limited archive footage, Billy is killed early in the film while attempting to stop a helicopter from stealing a coffin. The focus then shifts to his younger brother, Bobby Lo (Kim Tai-chung), who travels to Japan to avenge him. This transition allowed the filmmakers to stop relying on awkward cuts and showcase high-caliber 1980s Hong Kong action.
