Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

Was Bruce shopping a shoe deal? I could have sworn he was rockin' Adidas in the the Youtube video of the same movie. Asics Tiger?

Stand corrected...crouching Adidas, hidden Tiger.



Actually, I'm still not sure. Looks like Adidas converted to looks like Tigers Remember how NFL players would wear another brand then "draw" their sponsor's logo over their tape job, so it would be visible?

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

according to this article this the shoes.

Darren Julien (L), president and CEO of Julien's Auctions and Ambrose So (R), chairman of Ponte 16 display the late actor Bruce Lee's yellow Adidas shoes that he wore in the film 'Game Of Death', filmed in 1972 and released in 1978, at a media preview of pop memorabilia in Macau on August 18, 2010

Those shoes they are pawning off as the shoes from the movie isn't even close.

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

Here a better photo of the shoes that supposedly were used in the movie. These are clearly Adidas.

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

I found the listing for the shoes. They explain off the white bumper with putting yellow electrical tape on that area during filming.

Does the listing explain the overlay of the asics logo?

So, two sailors are sitting in a bar and a mermaid with a parrot on her shoulder comes in...
In other jokes...some place called Julian's Auctions have the Adidas worn by Bruce Lee in "Game of Death" for sale.

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

Bruce Lee passed away before the filming of "Game of Death" was completed. A body double was used to replace Bruce and shoot the remaining scenes. It seems that Bruce wore Asics Tiger, while his stunt/body double wore Adidas.
So, Julian's Adidas at auction are at best, stunt double worn. Crazy stuff:


Check the youtube of final scenes from "Game of Death". It is beyond obvious that it's not Bruce in the Adidas...

that kinda makes sense since the auction house are also selling his yellow jumpsuit but are saying its from the body double. I was thinking bruce lee didnt need any stunt double again Kareem but filming the remaining scenes explain the shoes. so basically these were not worn by Bruce Lee but by the body double.

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

here is the listing for the yellow costume worn by the stunt double

they should probably change the description on the shoes, but at least we know the shoes aren't a complete waste of money.

I believe the Adidas worn by the double are suede whereas the Adidas at auction are canvas. Also, those huge, white eyelets on the auction Adidas look wrong. I don't think they were even worn by the double.

Re: Abdul-Jabbar Slams Upper Deck Card Company

I found some great screenshots from a forum dated 5 years ago...there was no mention about the body double or if these images were definitely Bruce:









Is that Bruce or the double? Hard to tell in the rain...
I feel like these Adidas are a suede model.
