All correct and yes I did mean Bruce (obviously as you got it right!) although I should have maybe said half way through production rather than filming.
He was half way through filming Game of Death when he got the offer to be in Enter the Dragon. he decided he couldn't turn it down so went to make it. That was fully made and then Bruce Lee died before it was released and before he could go back and finish Game of Death. It was finished using old footage of Lee and a stand in.

Never seen Escape to Victory apart from short clips and still images and I've got no idea about the soundtrack question. Maybe someone else will know. I'll say 0-0 for the final score and Georges Melies' 'A Trip to the Moon' for the soundtrack question...

It was a tie in 1969 - Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn both got best actress.
Never seen 'Escape to Victory' pahh, you know nothing about films!
Wrong on the score and the soundtrack.
0-0!!! What kind of sporting based action film is going to have no goals!

Ok...thought I'd mention this one once more in case someone wants to try the quotes AGAIN. Here's the updated list with the movies that have been already identified with the connections between the films in gray and the quotes that are still unidentified written in bold:
E) After settling his differences with a Japanese PoW camp commander, a British colonel co-operates to oversee his men's construction of a railway bridge for their captors - while oblivious to a plan by the Allies to destroy it.
H) Cal Trask feels he must compete against overwhelming odds with his brother Aron for the love of their father Adam.
M) A paramedic has become burned out and haunted by visions of the people he's tried to save.
N) A paranoid and personally-secretive surveillance expert has a crisis of conscience when he suspects that a couple he is spying on will be murdered.
U) The War of the Ring reaches its climax.
V) A boy blackmails his neighbour after suspecting him to be a Nazi war criminal.
X) Sherman McCoy sees his life unravel after his mistress Maria Ruskin hits a black boy with his car.

I leave it up to you to make the connections. Please don't google straight away if you don't know these, maybe someone will actually know or makes an educated guess.

W) Shawshank Redemption
X) ?I was at dinner last evening, and halfway through the pudding, this four-year-old child came alone, dragging a little toy cart. And on the cart was a fresh turd. Her own, I suppose.
