Overview

In 1973, martial arts great Bruce Lee died, his final film, Game of Death, left unfinished. With the public hungry for more Lee, movie execs decide to find a replacement. This outrageous satire looks at the entire process, from the oddball candidates to the greed and racial motivations that drive the final decision. There's big business in the movies, and Finishing the Game skewers it with an eye for '70s detail.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A razor-sharp satire that uses the absurd real-life scramble to replace Bruce Lee as a lens to skewer Hollywood's crass opportunism and deep-seated racial cynicism. Darkly comedic and rightfully scathing, it's a snapshot of showbiz greed wrapped in '70s style.
