Fantasy GOD

[QueenBlast]

If you were to remake GAME OF DEATH based on Bruce Lee's original concept and could cast any actor or athlete you wanted to, both living or dead and in their prime, what would your dream GOD cast be? ( The pagoda can have as many floors as you want it to. )

Hwang Jang Lee
Sammo Hung
Whang ing Shik
Fung hark on
Lee Hoi San

Are some of the ones who could protect the floors

Bruce would reprise his role of course, working through levels (in no particular order):

Lau Kar Leung w/Hung Gar, traditional kung fu
Samart Payakaran w/Muay Thai (Tony Jaa for on-screen version if need be)
Hwang Jang Lee w/Tae Kwon Do
Muhammad Ali w/boxing
Rickson Gracie w/BJJ
Masahiko Kimura w/Judo

no idea who would be at the top... all the Brucesploitation clones and Lee would rip through them leaving them littered about? That would be fitting!

That would be interesting, a version of GOD where on each floor Bruce Lee has to fight one of his clones, all dressed in the same yellow jumpsuit. In that scenario the top floor Bruce would have to fight stock footage of himself.

I would cast Wu Jing in the lead role, because of him having both the boyish 'look' and the skills to be convincing as a 'martial arts actor'. He's not my favourite martial artist, but for the role in a fantasy GOD, he'd be perfect.

I'd cast Tony Jaa as a thai fighter, Sammo as a Wing Chun or Hung Gar traditional master, Michael Jai White as a loudmouth american (kick)boxer (maybe together with Brad Allen), and Yuen Biao as an acrobatic fast korean legfighter.

Also, I might put some more focus on 'Billy's' movie-fights in the beginning of the movie, and I'd cast Kara Hui, Jet Li and some other legendary screen-fighters in that part of the movie, so you can showcase a different kind of cinematography (a bit less 'realistic').

Oh man this is a sweet thread. I feel your pain though Dragon.


Kim Won Jin (using legs) + Wu Jing (using hands only)
Adam Cheng OR Ti Lung with a fan (whichever you prefer)
Yen Shi Kwan alternating between a number of styles
Billy Chow (high kicks) + Chin Kar Lok (breakdancing a la Operation Scorpio and Bury Me High)
Peng Kong or some other acrobat just constantly flipping haha
Michael Woods doing his thing

[Asmo]

I recently thought about this, so please forgive the late entry.

These are in no order so any floor..

Sammo Hung - Wing Chun
Lau Kar Leung - Lau Family Monkey Fist
Gordon Liu - Hung Gar
Yuen Wah - Jeet Kune Do (it's been said many times that aside from being shown JKD by Bruce he has the ability to adapt to any form)
Donnie Yen - SPL/Flash Point-esque MMA/Jiu Jitsu
Hwang Jang Lee - Tae Kwon Do
