Deliberate mistake: Rather than using real Bruce Lee footage only for the final fight scenes, so the undisguised Billy Lo's different appearance might make sense after his surgery, the filmmakers instead spliced real Bruce Lee face footage throughout the early film giving the character a constantly changing face from scene to scene.
Game of Death (1978)
1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Bruce Lee, Robert Clouse
Starring: Bruce Lee, Gig Young, Colleen Camp, Dean Jagger
Continuity mistake: When Billy Lo is fighting the huge guy, he gets a footprint stamped onto his jumpsuit, the print changes size throughout the fight.
Dr Land: So much for the weather report. I'm not the only one who just arrived. How about your trip to Berlin Stick?
Stick: It went pretty much as you figured. Now that he's the big star, I couldn't reason with him. He said he was pulling out and he threatened me.
Dr Land: Oh my my my my. The rest of it was in the papers. That's when he committed suicide huh? Haha.
Stick: He just got up and jumped out of the window.
Trivia: Two of Bruce Lee's earlier films, The Way of the Dragon and Fist of Fury, are seen as films Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) is starring in, Fist of Fury being the one where Billy is shot.
