During filming, Lee received an offer to star in "Enter the Dragon", the first kung fu film to be produced by a Hollywood studio (Warner Bros.), and with a budget unprecedented for the genre ($850,000). Lee died of cerebral edema before the film's release. At the time of his death, he had made plans to resume the filming of "The Game of Death". After Lee's death, "Enter the Dragon" director Robert Clouse was enlisted to finish the film using two stand-ins; it was released in 1978 as "Game of Death", five years after Lee's death, by Golden Harvest.
