- Quotes
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] His big advantage is that he gives no thought to life or death. And with no distracting thoughts, he is therefore free to concentrate on fighting against the attack from outside.
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] With his great size, he is going to find it difficult to keep getting up each time I knock him down.
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] Look at him. Give him the fatigue bombing!
Mantis: [From dialogue cantonese with the English subtitles] I'm so tired. No, no! Hai Tien, he must be much more tired than you. Calm down your soul.

The scenes in "GoD" are very well-done even for a marginal MA fan like me. However, the pauses were too long, but Lee's mastery made it worth waiting to see his moves. The scene with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the last recorded piece) was better in the later part of the fight and even turned convincing.
John Little did an excellent job of directing this documentary. He allowed first hand witnesses to speak freely. It is clear from the start of the film that it was made as a reverence to Mr. Lee - a world class person and martial arts master. A sadness permeates this movie because you feel that Bruce Lee was taken way too early.
