Bruce made a great quote: If everyone loved there neighbour nobody would be without help.

I know it's a fictional movie, but the problem is that Tarantino is actually convinced that Bruce acted that way in real life, which is a false representation...

Attacking a dead man reputation is just wrong.

It's weird tarantino never complained about the money he made using bruce lee's imagery for kill bill, the crazy 87 use masks identical to that of kato, he used the green hornet's soundtrack, uma thurman wore the yellow jumpsuit from game of death, the main characters use the 1 inch punch and on and on, also he never mentioned lee in all of these obvious references he simply stole his imagery to make money.

Mistakes are always forgivable , if one has the courage to admit them... Bruce Lee

In my opinion, Quentin Tarantino is a great filmmaker, but Quentin is no martial artist, has never met or sparred with Bruce Lee, and should not comment on Bruce's abilities with no qualifications to judge.

I can understand the effort to show how badass the fictional Cliff Booth is… but the disrespect was too much

If Chuck Norris says Bruce Lee was the real deal, that’s good enough for me. Quinton Tarantino doesn’t like this , well he can do what he suggested others do.

If Brad Pitt refused to go along with the original script because of his friendship with Brandon Lee, Respect.

I'm just a white guy from the UK who only knows about Bruce from books, magazine's,, watching interviews and documentaries. However, what keeps coming across is what a great person he was who thought a great deal about other people and who wanted to make us better people.

Usually people who act arrogantly - nobody wants to work with them. He wouldn't have so many friends and people come to his funeral if he was arrogant like that.

No one can make us believe that Bruce Lee was anything like he was portrayed in that movie. It was shameful, and it pissed me off as a lifelong fan of Bruce. I'm a 74 year old Black woman from Chicago. I remember the impact Bruce had on the world of every color. It was amazing just how fast we fell in love with not just the martial artist but the man himself. Tarantino 's movie disrespected Bruce and should be addressed. We love you still, Bruce, even after all these years. That will NEVER change. ❤❤

Quentin said "Bruce didn't respect American stunt men and was always hitting them to make the fights look real". Half true. Here is the truth. Bruce had no problem with the American stunt men. People get tagged or hit during scenes. Not out of disrespect but to make the hits look real. They were not full force hits. It was the way they filmed in Hong Kong. I saw in interview with Cynthia Rothrock, and she spoke about the differences between American and Hong Kong stunt work. It really came down to different styles of stunt work. Nothing to do with not respecting American stunt men.

come on, man. we are still talking about bruce since his passing. that says everything.

All I have to say regarding Quentin Tarantino's ridiculous, untrue and very disrespectful portrayal of Bruce Lee in his film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is that people will never forget Bruce Lee, even after the best of Quentin Tarantino's films are long forgotten. Although Quentin Tarantino has his own unique and remarkable style of filmmaking (and has marked Cinematic History in his own right), he would never have been able to make Kill Bill 1+2 without the strong influence of Hong Kong and Japanese Cinema to Western audiences, of which Bruce Lee was a major part. So, instead of making a mockery of a martial genius icon like Bruce Lee, perhaps Tarantino should be making a "hommage" to him. Although a Filmmaker should have the right to freely express himself within his work, Shannon Lee is absolutely right in defending Bruce's image, not only as his daughter, but also on behalf of the millions of Bruce Lee fans and martial artists throughout the World. Mr. Tarantino, I certainly hope that your next film is better, and definitely more respectful of other Cinematic icons that are eternal, timeless, and much bigger than yourself.....RESPECT!

Jackie Chan, himself, said Bruce was VERY concious of the idea of hitting someone and didn't like to do it, said Bruce was very apologetic about it. Tarentino picks and chooses what he pays attention to. Tarentino has also invested SO much time in being this hardcore Hollywood rebel, it's tough for him to back off. He's always had this "I'll do it my way" attitude and his head has gotten bigger than his actual fame and skill. nuff said?

Planet of the Apes, Dinosaurs, comic books & Bruce Lee are all cherished memories of my childhood.

Bruce Lee is iconic just the fact that he is the main reason why martial arts became so popular

I remember my ex army dad used to wake me up in the morning to join him for a run and exercise n I’d hate every second of it. After I watched the way of the dragon, my father didn’t have to tell me to wake up early or exercise it became a natural part of life. And this is true to many of the living martial arts legends today. He inspired so many of them like this from the childhood. His best contribution to the world is that he made physical exercise n martial arts look so cool that people would engage in them despite the discipline n labour it requires. Imagine the world of martial arts today without this phenomenon named Bruce Lee! 🎉🤘❤️❤️

I remember watching karate movies with my little brother on the weekends and discovering Bruce Lee. We didn’t know how famous he was. We didn’t know about his popularity. We just fell in love with them. We watched those karate movies thinking Bruce Lee was alive. We didn’t know he had died 10 years prior. When I discovered it, I cried like a baby. If you don’t think Bruce encountered bias and racism at that time, you’re nuts. To take his memory and his image, and humiliate him at the hands of, what could be, some of the people he suffered those bias from, and some of those struggles. This hurts as a fan.

Bruce Lee wasn't just an asshole... He's Inspired millions of people from beyond the grave. He wasn't just some arrogant karate star! He was a perfectionist and a pioneer! Think about the times he lived in. Couldn't have been easy being a Chinese immigrant turned mega movie superstar! Especially in Hollywood during the 60s. He was confident and capable! Plus he was very philosophical ! Bruce is and always will be a Legend

It's unreal how many people saw this movie and believed it as all being accurate and truthful.

They didn't have to speed up the camera, they had to slow it lol.

Tarantino was using Bruce's character to create a controversy. The fight never happened. That was a very low class act. Shame on you tarantino. 😢

It's even simpler than that; Tarantino's entire filmography is to shock people with the unexpected and outlandish; it's what made him famous; it's his signature. He just found out the hard way you don't disparage Bruce Lee.

“ Look at my hand… That’s a Chinese hand. He’d kill me.!” Bruce Lee had nothing but respect for Muhammad Ali! He studied him intently… To the point of watching ALI’s ‘s boxing matches in a mirror so his left lead would look like a right hand forward stance (which Bruce used)

I think Tarantino really screwed up on his representation of Bruce Lee. I'd wish he was smart enough to realize that and man enough to apologize for it.

My friend who was a car-buff said that car he was thrown against would never crumple like it did, as the sheet-metal was very thick and heavy on the real cars back then. Those doors on the Tarantino car must have been made of tin-foil for the scene.

From what Ive read on Bruce Lee and his character , I believe if he were alive today he would say to everyone, "Calm down, it's just a movie."

For such a big thinker, this is a SUPER weird bias for Tarantino. With his lack of research, availability of opposing viewpoints, and refusal to apologize for his false assumptions i have to question his judgement outright altogether. Fantastic video. Great perspective.

I was practicing Tae Kwon Do when Bruce was still alive. This version of him is a grotesque parody. Tarantino just lost whatever small amount of respect I had left for him as a man.

Can't imagine generations of youths wanting to sculpt their mind and body to be like quentin 😂 Long live Bruce's legacy ❤

Jim Kelly once said that Bruce Lee was untouchable: he remains untouchable.

I am far from a Bruce Lee fanboy but I have seen ple ty of interviews with him and read stuff he said. For what a huge figure he was he never comes off arrogant. He had a lot of ideas and was happy to talk about them when everybody, or a lot of people, wanted to listen. But that is a very natural reaction to suddenly being famous as a young person

How do you have an issue with a deceased person that you never met? 🤔

There's two statues of Bruce Lee out there in the world that will still be standing when we all die. Last time i checked, Quentin doesnt have any statues dedicated to his impact on humanity.

Mr Lee was a gift for all of us to marvel over ... respect is due... period. A true legend. The first avenger...

Bruce Lee said that he picked up a lot of grappling technique from Gene LeBell. That sounds like a pretty friendly relationship one has with a colleague.

Well Quentin, i think I'll rather trust the opinion of respected professional fighters and vintage martial artists who ACTUALLY trained with him 😂😂

Numerous close friends, including celebrities described Lee as a fierce and confident person, but also a humble and kind person who treated everyone fairly. I haven't heard anything that remotely resembles Tarantino's portrayal of him. I suppose there's no law in mocking anyone but certain things are just poor taste and character.

Quentin was trolling…. I think he knew it would piss people off, and wanted to.

technically in the younger generation, more people know bruce lee than quentin tarantino

I am old enough to have read the interview with Lee that contains the Mohammad Ali quote that Tarentino misrepresented. I think it was in Black Belt or one of those mags and Lee NEVER said he could cripple The Champ. In response to a question about Ali, what Lee he said was something like 'Ali's fist is as big as my head. I would have to go for his knees.' Now that's not the exact quotes, it's been 45 years or so, but that's pretty close. It was basically a joke. Lee had nothing but respect for The Champ. He would watch films of Ali's fights over and over to study his movements and technique, some of which he would incorporate into his own fighting style. What Tarentino did was utter disrespect and his response to 'suck my....' shows was a classless douche he really is. But, hey, he's done some great films. If not the Lee scene "Once Upon A Time..." would be a fave.

He got Bruce mixed up with Steven Seagal.

In a biography, written by a friend of Bruce Lee; he briefly described what Bruce's friendship meant. He was very loyal. If you were sick, he would visit, until you were back on your feet. if you were down on the dumps he was there to cheer you up That always stuck with me.

Quinton hates Bruce because Lee movies are more timeless and rewatchable than his.

I've always wondered why Tarantino never portrayed Chuck Norris in Once Upon A Time IN Hollywood, because like Bruce, Norris also worked with Sharon Tate in The Wrecking Crew.

Why on earth Tarantino has portrayed Bruce Lee in the disrespectful and humiliating way??It realy puzzles me!!

To anyone who defends the portrayal of Bruce Lee. Imagine this would be Muhammed Ali. Also in a fictional setting but historically majorly accurate era. In a context that is realistic for the time period. And have Tarantino make a ridiculous caricature out of him. Let’s see how the world would react then. Then you get the point.

I've always gotten this feeling that Tarantino was an asshat, good movies, but a horrible person. Yep, pretty much!

Tarentino made a fool out of himself! Bruce Lee is a Legend and his actions speaks for itself. Bruce's mind is just as brilliant as his physical accomplishments.💥💪....... 😎

I've never taken anything Tarantino has done seriously including the scene in question. To me it's just part of the fairytale that he's weaving and not to be taken literally since none of it is claimed to be historical or biographical. Bruce is, was and always will be a legend no matter how anyone chooses to portray him.

I never saw the movie because I heard it's depiction of Bruce Lee was bad, then I looked up the scene and immediately checked out when the actor portraying Bruce had a physique nothing like him, moved nothing like him, and ultimately didn't even look like him. Going back in time I never enjoyed Kill Bill, I thought it was cool that they used the jumpsuit from Game of Death but still something about it really turned me off. Now I realise it was actually Quentin trying to associate that iconic jump suit with a different movie for a different generation. To perhaps tarnish or even diminish the spotlight on Bruce that it was he who wore it first (and better). Now after watching this video that might actually be true, and it's not a secret that Quentin is obsessed with race, so that might come into play also. The thing that makes this worse is that people who have never seen Bruce Lee in footage or any of his movies might see Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and form an opinion on him based on that, which is terrible. I remember the backlash Jason Scott Lee received for Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, but in my opinion he did fantastic, his tribute to Bruce's intensity and graceful movement is an achievement all by itself. Nobody else has come close since. Especially not the actor in this scene in mention. I'm glad people clapped back, it shows that his legacy is still as important now as it ever was, thanks for the video.

What a horrible homage to a legend that died young, who inspired millions of men and opened the door to kung fu actors. And the fact that Quentin said this was based on research makes it even worse. Why would you portray him like that and even claim it was based on true stories? Even Brad was like "nah".

Bruce apparently was not a bully he was more of a teacher and Student of his art.

How many people knows Bruce Lee how many knows Tarantino.Bruce Lee is immortal and Universal

I believe tarantino wants to rewrite history in such a way that Bruce Lee is remembered as cartoon charecter and later on re-invented as white person out of spite , I read four pages of tarantinos outbiography and needed a shower all that ego stroking self engrandizing shows the lack charecter in him .

I am old enough and have followed the career of Bruce Lee that he struck me as a humble guy, the way typical martial artists are. I mean if you know you can take life with just your bare hands and you are a human being, it humbles you. I know because my karate teacher also taught the secret service and was a pastor and was very humble. I have never liked Quentin Tarantino movies, they are incoherent. On the positive side of things, I am excited to know that Shannon Lee exists and is out there. It would be an honor to meet a descendant of Bruce Lee.

Every move Bruce Lee makes on screen exudes power and beauty. He showcases the agility and strength of martial arts with finesse, making each performance memorable and unforgettable.

I'd like to thank Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto. Dan helped me get into Filipino Martial Arts and Bruce helped me turn into a piece of flexible metal.

5:04 Gene Lebell did an interview after that movie came out, trying to shed some light on the truth. Gene said that he unexpectedly put Bruce into a firemans carry or something like that, just playing around, but afterwards, Gene and Bruce ended up training together to work on Bruce's grappling skills because Gene knew Bruce was lacking in that. So, according to Gene LeBell, that scene was very loosely based on the real, playful encounter between Gene and Bruce.

Thank you for the video.

your thumbnail got me here. Great tactic :)

If he was a director in Bruce Lee's time, he would've been begging Bruce Lee to do a movie

Let’s not forget that Tarantino loves writing the n-word into his movies and often gives himself a reason to say it. Dude’s got some latent racist tendencies, but they’re the kind generally overlooked as reserved for “people from a certain era.” Thing is, though: he isn’t. I think dude’s just got some grievances he gets to air out because he makes interesting movies. He gets a pass, but should he really?

lol that audio clip is killing me!!! too funny

There's an interview with Jackie Chan where he says Bruce Lee hit him by accident and stopped filming to apologize to him personally. Tarantino is full of it.

Yeah. I didn't really care for that scene, nor for its portrayal of Bruce Lee.

Yeah. Someone can either say they will do better or they'll say that everyone else is just being a whiner. Obviously he's free to do either, but I think less of him for choosing to just be disrespectful. And it kind of shows he was being disrespectful all along to Bruce Lee.

Sometimes it's very hard for "famous" people to step down when they feel they might be WRONG. Nuff said.

Even Jackie Chan said it once . Even if your a martial arts master it doesn't mean you can't get hurt or block every attack

Tarantino says "It's just the fairytale story." So in Tarantino's fairytale, the most famous Asian Martial Artist and Movie Star of all time gets treated like a joke, whereas the white stunt guy that killed his wife helps saves the day. Got it...

This has really profoundly changed my view on Tarantino, not only as a person but also as an artist. Most people I’m sure are aware that the most used adjective when referring to him as a film director, as a praise is always that what sets him apart is his immense knowledge and love of films. Now what most people don’t know is that a lot of what makes his films great, meaning popular and also critically acclaimed, is that he’s used heavily influenced (which is a nice way of saying he has copied the work of giants and pioneers from the European and Asian films industry) by other directors that truly broke molds and introduced new styles, such as French new wave, Italian Neo-realism, as well as their counterparts from Japan and Hong-Kong. Now I truly love his films, and til now, even though I’d been shown these peculiarities about his work, I was the first to defend him, but this is not the first hand account I’ve heard lately of people who’ve met this arrogant and self-centered and grandiose side of him, and coupled with the facts I’d been shown before, does throw and changes my perspective when it comes to his work. Life has a funny and transcendental way of humbling people who act like so, and in his case I can’t help but to remember him at the Oscar’s, when this particular film was nominated, and an Asian film (South Korea’s brilliant “Parasite”)pretty much beat him on almost every single category, and though not explicitly, or even vocally, but I remember the TV cameras would occasionally zoom in on him and I’d get this pissy and petulant vibe every time that’d be so. Now this last thing I can’t be sure of, but pretty much everything else I’ve gone over is factual, so you come to your own conclusion.

I like how in the film the Cliff guy says something like " oh that kung fu stuff doesn't work" but then when they start fighting he's throwing his hands around blocking all kung fu-like lol so stupid!

@2:10 - Car door must have been made from aluminum foil. LOL.

**Bruce Lee** Is Not Here To Defend Himself Concerning This Negativity. But, One Thing Is Sure: **Bruce Lee** Is **Legendary** And A **Trailblazer** If He Were Alive Today, There Would Be **Silence**. ** No**Controversy**

I think Quinton was just upset because Bruces worst movie is still better then kill bill

ironic that tarantino made bruce lee act more like tarantino than bruce lee

Imagine how good Once Upon A Time In Hollywood would have been if he portrayed Bruce the way he really was, speaking respectfully of Muhammad Ali and Joe Lewis, giving his philosophical insight into the martial arts, and when challenged on a point by Cliff, then beating him easily, and Cliff asking him to teach him? Cut to a montage scene of Bruce training Cliff. The final fight scene could have been Cliff going full Bruce Lee on the Manson Gang!

Ty ty ty. I was hoping Joe Rogan was gonna set him straight or let him know he didn't like that. But when he was a guest he stayed silent. Didn't even try to disagree with him. Made me look at him different. Ty again for this

Great research and information thanks

I think i that the Bruce Lee character in Tarantino”s movie esembles Tarantino himself rather than Bruce Leer

Tarantino being a complete and utter duck ;-)

Great video! Thanks for making this. Tarantino claims to be such a Hollywood historian yet was a million miles off target with this scene. I'm sure if asked he'll say he's not racist but he certainly has some bias against Bruce Lee. He joins all the people who treated Bruce Lee, an American, like an "uppity" immigrant - even now in death.

Great video! There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence. Bruce Lee was very confident and for good reason - he was the BEST! The way I see it, in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Cliff Booth is remembering something that DIDN'T really happen. In the beginning of the scene, there's a bunch of people watching the fight. At the end of that scene everyone is gone, meaning there aren't any witnesses to the fight. Cliff is an unreliable narrator and he is looking back on a memory that didn't happen. The reality is that Cliff Booth is not a good guy even though we are rooting for him.

Wow dude, great video!!!

My personal opinion is that quentin is a deeply disturbed individual. He has made some good movies, but he has made some bad decisions while making his movies as well. Decisions that have detracted from the final product more than once. The thing is he is a deeply *disturbed* individual and if you think he will ever apologize for hurting anyone's feelings ,,,, you will be waiting for a long fruitless season, because it will never happen. Not because I agree with him, but because I know a broken man when I see one. And tarantino is as broken as they come. Good video BTW.

Quentin insulted everyone who enjoys Bruce's work. I haven't seen the movie. I've seen every other Tarantino film.

Some people still don't understand how hard this man punch .

The young brother sparring with Ho Chung -Tao at 12:29 his name is Carl Scott. From what I seen from him in those movies with Billy Chong ( I don't know his original name, He goes by Willy Dozan now) He was pretty damn good. Could you do a video about Carl Scott? A little more about his life and career in movies? To me he's a guy that doesn't get enough shine. I love your channel and keep up the good work!👍

You did a great job releasing that video. Thank you!

Bruce Lee worked his @ss of to get to the height he achieved both as a martial artist and a film maker/movie star. For someone to come along and totally trash his character, his brilliance is to not appreciate the impact he made.

great video!!

Bruce taught me most of my moves as a kid who had to learn to fight back RIP!

Hey buddy, I love your channel. Thanks for putting this out there. I stand by Shannon 100% on this. He was extremely disrespectful in any way and he totally knocked. Bruce purposely for his own strange reasons. Whatever they are I don't know and why anyone would go out of their way to do that is beyond me. But I love Shannon's response to it. It's just like could you either apologize or just stop talking about it and he just can't seem to understand that . I got to hang out with Jim Kelly when he was still alive and I asked him what was Bruce really like fighting wise and Jim Kelly told me this when we did enter the dragon he was phenomenal but when I was just training walking with him learning his philosophy and watching him fight and do different techniques he was like he was untouchable. He was that good. He was the most amazing martial artist and fighter I had ever seen in my life. Fred Williamson said the same thing and these were people that actually trained and knew Bruce. And I know some people are going to be like. Are you saying he's super human nobody's super human but the thing about it is this. Bruce worked very hard. He gave time to martial arts and fighting day in day out when most people are not that disciplined to do that. Bruce was working hard. Three 2:00 in the morning training training training improving, improving, improving improving. That's really the secret. He constantly kept improving like somebody that's really determined to get a PhD and they study all night and study all day. That was Bruce and a lot of people don't have discipline like that so and I can relate. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a year to half ago. I'm still recovering from chemotherapy from a special experiment. They wanted to try on me to improve some things and I'm a martial artist but due to this whole condition and it really messing with my body I have to do things differently. I'm in a lot of pain, but I'm still up training every day 6 to 7 days a week without fail and I'm just determined very much like Bruce Lee just would have been determined no matter his circumstances or situations. And I think that that's what Quentin Tarantino has to understand about people like Bruce or people like myself. Anyway, keep doing what you do. I love the channel and I hope to have a conversation with you one day. You're awesome!

Quentin Tarantino showed how jealousy, in the hands of a millionaire filmmaker, can bend the truth anyway he pleases. But at the end of the day, Bruce Lee will always be a legend and will be remembered as such, long after Tarantino has kicked the bucket.

besides Bruce Lee himself always use to say he was someone that had a bad temper, and that was always something about himself that he was constantly working on. Him dealing with his bad temperment taught him patience, not just for himself but patience for everyone else.

Thanks for this info!

Quentin is good at making the bad and low down people look cool. The good and kind he spits on them with artistic strokes to make them look like uninteresting geeks. He strips out the very essence of love and respect from life and replaces it with degradation humiliation and perversion but does it in a way which one thinks that to dislike it would be close minded. It’s all part of the program to dumb us up and keep us asleep.
