distribution
After the production of the film The Death Claw Strikes Again Bruce Lee was proud of the result on the one hand, and on the other hand he was aware of the different tastes of the Asian and Western audience, which is why he did not want to publish it in the West. But after his death, Raymond Chow sold the film worldwide, removing the Concord Produktion logo from the opening credits abroad and leaving only the Golden Harvest logo there. During this sales phase after Lee's death, neither he nor Concord Production were featured in the opening and closing credits of the films The Death Claw Strikes Again and Bruce Lee - My Last Fight as a producer, only Raymond Chow's company Golden Harvest - in contrast to the film The Man with the Death claw . The fact that Bruce Lee produced the two films was later published in various documentaries, including Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey. Even the alternative Chinese film The Man with the Death Claw is different from the original version produced by Warner Bros. , so that Raymond Chow appears as the producer.
