Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee
Directed by Justin Lin
Produced by Cherry Sky Films, Trailing Johnson Productions
A sharp, energetic satire of 1970s Hollywood greed and racial exploitation, built on absurdist humor and period detail rather than warmth or sincerity.
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.
