success, even his parents's approval, and lots of lovers, yet his marriages are all utter failures.

Deletion of the scene where young Serge persuades in vain for his mother to buy him a gun to play with, even attempting to bribe her by saying he'll work harder on the piano.
Deletion of the
scene where Serge and Boris Vian walk to his apartment and the two lie in the road in an effort to stop a cab. While they wait Serge reveals he has an double that follows him around to which Vian replies his is a werewolf. However two policemen soon end
the conversation short. (This proceeds Serge arriving at Boris's apartment and explains a later scene where drunken Serge lies in the road before having the police escort to his concert

The groupies and
party to Qui Est In Qui Est Out is cut short, removing Serge narrating about the mouth being the primary sexual organ . His narration reveals the girls in the room he has slept with and how he was with them. It reveals Gainsbourg's
occasional cruel streak.
After Gainsbourg recites La Marseillaise at the press conference, we then see young Serge repeating it and triumphantly rising his fist to the audience.
Deletion of an short exchange in the nightclub when a reveller comments to Gainsbourg about him being parodied on a French TV show. The new version removes these lines either because the show is unknown outside of France or because it doesn't tie in as being the night Gainsbourg met his wife, Bambou as that TV show wouldn't air until years later.

Summary Review: A Fitting Tribute
A martial arts
movie star must fake his death to find the people who are trying to kill him.
Game of Death, a Frankenstein concoction of bits and peices of Bruce Lee's final performance in a movie originally shot in 1972-73 and a later
film shot in 1978 after Lee's death is really two movies in one.
The first, a crime/revenge caper helmed by Robert Clouse is not as bad as you may have heard. The scenes are intercut badly and Lee's many doubles do look bad, but
as a movie on it's own merit it isn't that bad.

Log fight
Long-lost unseen footage of the celebrated log fight scene from the Bruce Lee film Game of Death is to be released as bonus material in the Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest box set marking the 50th
anniversary of the famed actor and martial artist's death.
The log fight scene, so called because of the large piece of wood that one of actors wields at the start of the sequence, is part of the approximately 100 minutes of raw footage that Lee shot
in 1972, before production was halted to enable Lee to take up Warner Bros' offer to make Enter the Dragon . The scene features Chieh Yuan, as one of Lee's allies, in combat with Dan Inosanto, who plays a master of Filipino martial art eskrima.
The log fight scene was known from photographs taken on the set, and from very brief excerpts used in the 1978 version. It appears to have become separated from the rest of the Game of Death footage after Lee's death, and was discovered in 2016 in the
Hong Kong archives of film studio Fortune Star, which now owns the catalogue of Game of Death producers Golden Harvest.

different guy dressed all in white with no nunchucks to be seen.

Other scenes include:

a funeral dedication which uses footage from Bruce Lee's real funeral, but is
done more tastefully than its use in Game of Death as it plays off as more of a real tribute to Bruce Lee than a movie funeral.

A drug selling and violent street-gang terrorize the renters of a big trashy apartment-house.
Tenement's TOO
VIOLENT TO BE RATED! tagline lives up to its name as well: people are dropped off windows, electrocuted, impaled, castrated, raped with broomstick handles, sliced on the jugular, etc. It's definitely one of the most violent 70s/80s
grindhouse/exploitation flicks I've seen, but it was definitely entertaining if also brutal. Recommended.

If you're familiar with the works of the danish directors who've
signed the DOGMA charter, GANG TAPES may please you with its improbable camera movements and its documentary style. If not, stay away from this movie.
I must admit that the scenes of violence of GANG TAPES are, in my opinion, far more impressive than
those shown in the Hollywood thrillers. You never know what will happen next on the screen and you really feel in your guts the paranoia which is the life's companion of these people. And the impacts of the bullets in the body of the victims will hit you
as if you were present in the hot streets of the city of the angels.
