What movie was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in with Bruce Lee?

Bruce Lee is the cover symbol of martial arts movies and pivots figure in modern popular culture. It’s debatable whether the martial arts film genre would have ever entered and affected mainstream North American and European cinema and viewers the way it has over the past four decades if it hadn’t been for Bruce Lee and his films in the early 1970s. Today, the impact of East Asian martial arts cinema can be observed in a wide range of film genres, including comedy, action, drama, science fiction, horror, and animation… all of which have their origins in the Bruce Lee phenomenon.

Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr., better known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was an American university and professional basketball player who dominated the sport as a 7-foot-2-inch (2.18-meter) tall center throughout the 1970s and early ’80s. Lew Alcindor was his stage name until 1971. For the 1969–1970 NBA season, Alcindor signed with the Milwaukee Bucks and won Rookie of the Year honors.

Game of Death

Bruce Lee directed, wrote, produced, and starred in Game of Death, which was his final motion picture, between August and October 1972. While the movie was being made, Lee passed away. In the original Lee movie from 1972, Lee’s character joins a group of martial artists hired to retrieve a stolen Chinese national treasure from the top floor of a five-story pagoda in South Korea. Each floor is guarded by martial artists who must be defeated while climbing the tower in order to save Lee’s character’s younger sister and brother.
It was a pivotal movie that profoundly affected culture. The original version’s idea of climbing a tower while taking out enemies on each level had a significant impact and influenced a lot of action movies and video games. In addition, the movie is well-known for both Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, an NBA player and student, and Lee’s fight scene in an iconic yellow-and-black jumpsuit.
