According to Roy Horan, filming of Game Of Death 2 took place in 1979, the year after the original Game Of Death was released and was filmed largely in Japan due to the original film being very popular there upon its release.
Bruce Lee had filmed over 30 minutes of fight scenes for L'ultimo combattimento di Chen (1978) when work was suspended to allow Lee to work on I 3 dell'Operazione Drago (1973). However, Lee died before he could return. Six years later, director Robert Clouse fleshed out a feature around the original footage with a new cast, including two stand-ins for Lee. After the success of Game of Death in Japan, there was high demand for a new Bruce Lee movie there. As a result, much of the movie is filmed in and takes place in Japan.
This film is featured as a bonus in "Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits", released by Criterion, spine #1,036.
This movie features unused footage from four of Bruce Lee's other movies: The Big Boss, Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon, and Enter the Dragon (mostly from Enter the Dragon).
