Today I was promoted to Yodan, which is a 4th degree black belt. I train at Tracy's Karate and got my 1st degree black belt in 2016, on Friday 13th May.

Der Nachfolger "Game of Death II" macht frappierend deutlich, wie mies das Hong Kong Cinema damals war und wie groß sein Einfluss beim Prozess des Filme machens gewesen sein muss. Denn der Film ist aus vielen Gründen übel.

"GoD" durchbricht sogar indirekt die 4. Wand, da er direkt an "Die Todeskralle schlägt zurück" anknüpft und aus Bruce Lee den
