The organizers of the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) will honor the king of Asian action movies, Bruce Lee as part of this year’s program. Titled “The 70th Anniversary: Bruce Lee to the Future,” the special tribute will feature a screening of Lee’s most successful film, Enter the Dragon, and his last, Game of Death—in a rare version that was distributed in Japan in 1978. The line-up will also include a variety of Asian films that pay homage to Lee, who died in 1973 at the age of 32. TIFF will be held from October 23-31 at Roppongi Hills and other venues around town.
