Several actors associated with previous Lee movies were included in the re-shoot for the final 1978 film. For example, Robert Wall, a villain in both "Way of the Dragon" and "Enter the Dragon", plays a kickboxer named Carl Miller who must battle with Billy Lo. Sammo Hung, who appeared in "Enter the Dragon", served as the fight coordinator for the film, and also appears in the scene as a ring opponent for Miller. To maintain continuity with the fight footage taken from the original film, Dan Inosanto (renamed Pasqual) and Ji Han-jae (whose character was unnamed and was not shown until near the end of the film) were given small parts as additional enforcers for the syndicate. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar refused to participate in the re-shoot, with another tall African-American stand-in (renamed Hakim) included instead. Although Chuck Norris is credited as starring in the film, his role is limited to clips from "Way of the Dragon" inserted into the film.
