Using re-edited footage from Bruce Lee's last (unfinished) film, Fulbeck turns the subtitled martial arts movie genre back on itself -- leveling criticism, questions, and hilarious commentary with the medium's own tools. The legendary Bruce Lee is examined in the various roles he posthumously came to represent -- from Fulbeck's own boyhood idol to an Asian American male icon. Flashing its dry subtitles, Fulbeck's critique subtly redirects the original film's energy -- confronting and questioning our memory of Bruce Lee as a legend, and examines issues of stereotyping and marketing of Asian culture in the U.S.

"a hilarious look at the beautification of Bruce Lee ... 'Game' shows how Asian America's desperation for a hero has led to Lee's devolution into an inhuman, and ultimately replaceable, chopsocky icon."
- Jeff Yang, The Village Voice

"Armed with razor-sharp wit and an editing deck, Fulbeck takes footage from the legendary Bruce Lee's last (and unfinished) film in a bitingly hilarious examination of Lee as a towering icon, and hero, in the landscape of Asian American images. Adding subtitles to demystify the original images ... the work also explores the film industry's strategy of 'selling' Asian culture to American audiences."
