* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to a recent biography of Creator/BruceLee, this movie was intended to be shot in 1969, with Lee playing the four roles of The Blind Man, Monkeyman, Death, and Changsha, and the lead role of Cord was offered to Creator/SteveMcQueenActor. [=McQueen=], however, turned down the role after remarking that he wasn't prepared to make Lee a star, and instead it was offered to Creator/JamesCoburn. Disagreements over location shooting (Lee preferred India) led the movie to be abandoned until after his death, when the rights were acquired by Creator/DavidCarradine. Lee even met with Creator/RomanPolanski in Switzerland in the hopes that he might direct.
