What critics compared The Big Boss to
However, despite those major flaws, for the western audiences, the story narrative is easier to follow through compared to his earlier films like "The Big Boss", "Fist of Fury" and "Way of the Dragon".
Today, it remains a one of the most revered martial arts films ever made, but for as much of an impact as it and Lee's prior movies The Big Boss , Fist of Fury , and The Way of the Dragon would have, everything points to Game of Death being remembered as Lee's biggest masterpiece if he'd been able to fully realize it.
