The reason I ask this is because even though the film was eventually released, (albeit, rewritten and and only used about 30 minutes of the over 100 minutes of footage) the original version has never been fully released. All of the released footage for the original film is on YouTube but the other 70 minutes is (to my knowledge) completely lost, however there have been some production photos that have resurfaced online, it is unknown if the production photos are from scenes that were filmed, but my guess is that about 45% of the production photos are of stuff that was filmed.

I found two videos that claim to be the full 1973 version, but that could just be clickbait titles. They can easily be found via a quick Youtube search of "Game of Death 1973". If the authenticity of the videos have been confirmed, then it would be more accurate to call Game of Death 1973 an example of found media.

I looked up " Game of death 1973" and found two videos that would meet the criteria, the first one was a recreation using what little we have of the plot. The second one was the 1978 version with Cantonese or Mandarin dubbing. So the original version is still partially found.
