Game of Death II
=
George C. Scott becomes increasingly agitated in a movie theater as he watches a movie in which the first half hour consists of an all-too-obvious Bruce Lee impersonator keeping his back to the camera. And then the obvious impersonator faces the camera and he’s obviously an impersonator. Scott’s anguish peaks during the part where actual footage of Bruce Lee’s funeral plays.
“TURN IT OFF!!”
Things get even stranger as the evil of the world fractures space and time causing stock footage of Scott to invade the frame. Now, Scott’s past movie selves from Dr. Strangelove, Patton, The New Centurions, The Day of the Dolphin, The Hindenburg, and They Might Be Giants all challenge Hardcore Scott to a lethal battle gauntlet. The Final Boss is future stock footage of Scott from The Exorcist III.
Eventually, the audience rebels, burns down the theater, and furiously cheers while jumping up and down.
