Stealing the back design from one of your own decks and slapping some initials on it - why?  An original design that's a proper two-way back could have been used here, like a silhouette Lee in a flying kick

t's really more of a "third in a series" and that's the way I think of it.

There was Fulton's China Town - that sold out. There was also a special "game of death" edition of that deck - same back, but normal faces. The game of death deck was then "redesigned" as THIS deck. Not to mention that this deck was also commissioned by Bruce Lee.com, meaning it's a collaboration of minds. (not just the Buck brothers)

Even a "1970s-look" deck with pictures from Bruce Lee movies on the cards would have been better than this. 

I don't know if you've seen it, but there was an earlier "official" Bruce Lee deck printed by Aquarius -

it was just photographs of Bruce Lee, but... the quotes are on THAT deck also - which makes me think that was the contribution by Bruce Lee.com (but what do I know?)

It's actually FOURTH in a series at this point, since we're on version two of the "third in a series"...  :))

Photos and quotes, with a decent two-way back, would not have been too much too ask for, it would not have been a grand stretch of the imagination - but it wouldn't look ANYWHERE near as COOL in a FAN or a SPRING!!!  LULZ!!!

Seriously, it would have been much more attractive.
