Has Bruce Lee's Game of Death CATSUIT appeared in any other movie than Kill Bill ?
and of course not including Game of Death or Game of Death 2
I just remember seeing it in another movie but can't for the life of me remember which one

Apart from the addition of a "Bat-Utility Belt" for Roger Moore, and Moonraker custom blazer badge, it's almost a dead ringer...

It was in a video game Tekken 2 (I think). As for movies, I've also seen the suit in those pathetic Bruce Li, Bruce Lei rip off movies (which is quite insulting to the one and only martial arts legend).

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the suit showed up in some of the Bruce Lee rip off films. That outfit is almost iconic. And yes, it was used in a great scene in Shaolin Soccer

Bruce LeeRoy wears it in one scene in The Last Dragon.
And "Bruce Li" wears it in New Game of Death.

There must be different kinds. There are some on ebay (I believe that these are the limited Japanese ones I was thinking of) that are selling for $300-$500.00 a pair. 
But I see a bunch of other styles from the same company that are cheaper. Are those ones "official" Kill Bill shoes. I just checked Ebay, saw the huge range of styles and prices, and now I'm confused.

Yeah - it's ebay. That's why. The shoes cost 80 bucks. All someone has to do is go buy the shoes, post em on ebay and describe them as 'RARE, LTD, OOP, L@@K, KILL BILL, UMA SHOES' and people will pay that much.

Yeah, you're right about ebay, but there was a pair of Onitsuka Tiger Kill Bill shoes that was sold only in Japan that was limited to 3400 (they originally sold for 10,000 yen -about $100 US). These are the ones I was thinking of, and I think that these are the ones that are selling for the big bucks. I wasn't aware of those other cheaper versions that are available in the US. Oh well, I wouldn't buy them anyway, so what am I yapping about.

What's so limited about the Japan versions? Aren't they in fact the same exact shoe? I'm asking because I don't know, not to be a smartass. 
Is there anything different about them?

I got the information from a Kill Bill brochure that I picked up in Japan last November. It had an advertisement for Onitsuka Tiger Kill Bill shoes, both regular and hi-top versions. The only thing I could understand from the ad was that they were limited to 3000 pairs, and that they cost 10,000 yen (approx $100 US) and 15,000 yen (approx $150 US) respectively. I thought they were the only ones made, until you pointed out that you can buy similar shoes cheaper over here. I'll have to get my wife to translate the ad to see if there was anything else special about the Japanese ones that is making people willing to pay more for them (other for the fact that they were "limited").
