Finishing the Game

Finishing the Game is a low-budget 2007 mockumentary in the vein of This is Spinal Tap (1984), focusing on Bruce Lee's final movie Game of Death (1972), which was left unfinished at the time of his death. Shot in 18 days, Finishing the Game comedically satirizes the 1972 production—which used body doubles and clips from other Lee movies—and addresses racial stereotypes on the Asian community. The film was directed by Justin Lin, the director of the films Better Luck Tomorrow, Fast & Furious, and Star Trek Beyond.
