Finishing the Game


Finishing the Game is a 2007 mockumentary film directed by Justin Lin focusing on Bruce Lee's final movie Game of Death, which was unfinished at the time of his death. Shot in 18 days, Finishing the Game comically satirizes the 1972 production—which used body doubles and clips from other Lee movies—and addresses racial stereotypes in the Asian community.
Its world premiere took place at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, where it was an Official Selection. It was also selected as the opening night film at the 25th San Francisco International [Asian American Film Festival].
