I think Tarantino is just fuckn with people. If you look at that movie, it's historically inaccurate. Sharon Tate survives for example. I don't take it too serious. I think it's more for publicity than anything.
@@swankybutters8371 I was just curious why you use his logo. I find the zodiac killer case probably the most interesting within the subject of serial killers. By the Way, Bruce's legend will shine regardless of what anybody says about him. JKD was the original MMA. He was 30 years ahead of his time.
Because he was the first big martial arts actors, people who know about fighting have never seen him in a fight, so we honestly don't know how great he was, a Legendary actor, made martial arts popular and great dancer
@@deelucks9640 what do you mean about people who know about fighting, lots of top sports fighters have seen him fighting for real, and like most non sports martial masters they almost never are filmed, because are fought behind closed doors, like he did with chuck norris which was on you tube he trained the best and they fought with him, and they knew their place, Joe Lewis won titles because of his time training under Lee, and, Lee would nearly always take up a genuine challange but behind closed doors, i used to work in the film industry and can testify the point of no cameras in a real fight when steven segal was working on a film set in LA and was bullying the film extras , when some one said that he couldnt do that to a master who was living nearby and who was about 85 at the time segal said call him and i will deal with him, well this "old man"did turned up and stood very near segal and in a split second put him a strangle hold and put him to sleep!!!!---Lee had many street fights if you listned to his brother robert, and mobile phones were not about then, anyone at the time could have challenged him and some did but would rather not say!--he was a good dancer and not a Great actor but good enough--but he was the best martial artist of the time, and a real superstar of the big screen, and a real nice guy!
@@g-man8980 The exact opposite happened. Bruce hit Jackie and Jackie didnt mind at all, it hurt but he didnt care "Stuntmen get hit all the time" were Jackies words. But he was pretending to be hurt infront of Bruce because Bruce was very empathic and so he always checked up on Jackie if he was ok.
@@g-man8980 theirs a good video of jackie chan telling said story but the video had a clcik bait title like "the time bruce lee and jackie chan fought "
Everybody knows movies are just made up stuff, but when you take a real person, an icon, that you personally hate and make a movie where you make him look like a complete jerk just because he's not around to sweep the floor with your hair, that's low. A coward's move.
The funny thing is tarantinos a genius film maker.. but that Joe Rogan interview proved that at the end of the day he's just like every other know it all nerd who knows alot of STUFF.. but has very little common sense whatsoever The fact that he glibly talked about how badly Bruce treated all the white stunt men &had no respect for them with such dismissive flippancy is irony personified.. this was a Chinese man in racist 1960's Hollywood showing up guys who could barely throw a punch &u wonder why the half-baked drunken anecdotes u got from them were a little bit iffy? He's either terribly naive &clueless or just another one of those bitter racists who think they're "taking one back for the white man" by getting one over on the legend of a man who LITERALLY overcame all odds to be truly great
I love Bruce Lee. That said, he was shunned by his own people for giving away martial arts secrets. And he definitely did just do a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be useful in a real fight.
One thing is clear now, showing the real Bruce brings problems with his devoted fans. I am not a fan of Tarantino, but he deserves respect, that he tried to be obectiv as possible, even when the BL fans becomes crazy.
Bruce Lee wasn't just a tournament fighter, he was a proficient street fighter. He was one of of the first to acknowledge the shortcomings of traditional martial arts.
He was never a tournament fighter, only street fighter. He didn't go tournament but tournament went to him. There were many guys of different fighting background according to DeMiles tested Bruce up in Seattle. They all failed 🤣.
Tournament fighter - no Street fighter - maybe in his younger years Martial artist - ehh/yes. I believe Bruce to be more of a cinematic martial artist at best.
@@The_Critical_Critic Its your opinion and my opinion to your opinion it don't hold much because he's proven to so many people he can not only fight but potentially kill someone because that is what he trained for. BRUCE'S speed during his era was hard to match, top tier tournament fighters tested him ended up students of Bruce, Fact not opinion.
@@hamburgareable He may have purposely filmed it that way to get eyeballs on the film. I mean, he was well aware that Linda and Shannon and several of Bruce's students are still alive and many fans around the world would likely have something to say about Bruce's depiction. He just didn't give a crap.
The real Bruce Lee was not as shaggy as he appeared and didnt grow his hair until 1973 during his last film Enter The Dragon. Mike Moh, who ever found him, shouldve taken a recourse on actual facts cos he looks nothing like Bruce.
Thank you for making this video. At least for Hong Kong stuntmen, Bruce Lee would sit and eat with them instead of by himself. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Wah have talked about how he treated them well.
@Benny not even that autobiography Could describe how he was... Bruce Lee is dead, he cannot defend itself; Jackie Chan wants to cause trolling controversy!!! Get the Fvck outta here, Loser!!!
@Benny squatting 200lbs has anything to do with fighting? no one says you have to like him or believe any of it. follow what makes you happy. whatever man.
This is a really great video! It really sounds like Tarantino confused Bruce Lee for Steven Seagal. In fact, I would but be surprised if he intentionally mixed them up to make his story more interesting. I 100% agree with your assessment. Tarantino needed a legend to put his character over and there is no Hollywood action star with the legendary status of Bruce Lee. I also really appreciate how you kept it real. Lee is such a legend that we sometimes forget he was a person and that he had flaws; people forget he never fought in any kind of martial arts competition. The legend is so much bigger than the man himself that martial artist tend to put him up on this pedestal, but you seem to know a lot about him - even some things that go against his larger than life image. I don't think Tarantino understands just how large Lee looms in the mind of martial artists. There is so much we can say about this legacy and the impact he's had not only on action films, but all over the world of martial arts. You'll be hard pressed to find a martial artist of any discipline who doesn't admire Bruce Lee. Maybe Tarantino does understand this and figures it's good publicly to have some controversy coming from the niche of martial arts enthusiasts. He gets attention for his project but only alienates a relatively small group. Again, great video! I was half expecting more of the typical martial artist making Lee out to be some infallible demigod but everything you say here seems totally plausible. I would love to see some of your sources for info about what Lee was like! Do you have any recommended reading for Bruce Lee fans who want to know more about the man behind the legend?
This man made two whole martial art films where the hero wore a yellow track suit inspired by Bruce in Game of Death and has the nerve to disrespect the source of his inspiration smdh
Thank you very much for shedding light and defending Bruce Lee's honor in this video. Appreciate it. Just for the record, i never did like Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
The portrayal takes one little flaw and massively expands it to ridiculousness! Jackie Chan was a stuntman on a couple of Bruce's films and in a fight scene Bruce accidentally hurt Jackie. When he had seen what he had done he was incredibly sorry and they actually became good friends. There are also other western martial artists who attest to Bruce's skills.
This is simply just a RUclipsr Lee fan fishing for likes on his channel so calm down. Lol. Think about how many people with the real details the third biggest director of all time has access to? This guy just Googled shit on his computer and was a Lee fan? Lmao.
A lot of people want to talk about Bruce Lee, but they don't even know the most basic facts about his life. I was obsessed with Bruce Lee at some point. I have about 10 books about him, all of the martial arts books he wrote, all of his movies and 2 documentaries about him. He was quite a fascinating character and way ahead of his time.
Jackie Chan tells a story of a time when Bruce accidentally hit him during a fight scene. Bruce stopped everything cold and was extremely apologetic. Jackie says he was shocked by how much Bruce cared for him even though Jackie was only a stuntman.
ALL it would take Tarantino is that little research you did and he'd know he's wrong, but he, like many immature Twitter Dwellers of today, Ignores the evidence. Even if it's posted, right there for all to see, pretend it doesn't exist and you couldn't provide evidence (when you could and did).
Bruce would never use a flying kick in a real fight. He certainly would not use the same technique twice, in succession, at his opponent’s request. Lastly, Bruce was a huge fan of Mohammed Ali and had great respect for him. The only way the Tarantino fight scene works is if it is a fantasy contained within the mind of the film’s protagonist. Personally, I lost a lot of respect for Tarantino after this movie, and even more so after Tarantino’s defence. Bruce is my Kung Fu uncle. I know what I’m capable of, and I’m aware my uncle was considerably better than me, so Tarantino can suck my fat Irish situation. Another great video, thank you 👍👍👍
True. Bruce would start off with blasting kick to the knee cap or groin followed with finger jab to the eyes and then a combination of punches with trapping. I'd love to see what would a GI reaction to that would be...
First of all, Lee was an arrogant narcissist. There is not evidence that Lee was actually a good fighter in any sense. You also have no reason to believe that Lee wouldn't use a kick like that in a fight, because no one has ever seen him actually fight.
@@lostheart8092 I’m not sure there’s any polite way to say this: you, my dear fellow, are an ill-informed idiot 🤷♂️ (Oh, and Tarantino is by far the bigger narcissist.) Goodbye.
In the book Bruce Lee written by Bruce’s first JKD student Jesse Glover he writes “Bruce believed that there is always someone who can beat you in a fight if the circumstances are right and that to walk around thinking that you can’t be beaten is a foolish mistake that can end your life unfortunately this isn’t a popular concept in the minds of many martial arts people the path that Bruce followed was to live each day with the knowledge that he could be defeated by an expert or novice at any given time”
Are you nutz? Kill Bill, parts 1 & 2 is one of the most incredible movies ever filmed...and is an homage to Asian culture and film. Your “bad vibes” are easily dismissed, 🤡
One thing about actors portraying Bruce Lee in the movies, they seem to act as Bruce Lee acts in the movies and not Bruce Lee the man himself. I think they should talk to those who knew him personally to get his true life actions. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how it looks to me.
During the Bruceploitation film era during the 70's and 80's, most producers and directors didn't care about portraying him in the right way as much as making as much money as possible from the "Kung Fu Fever" of that time. None of those movies compared to the real one at that time nor even today.
If Tarantino said in that Rogan interview that Gene LeBell said anything derogatory about Bruce Lee, he's absolutely wrong. I've seen a few interviews with Gene LeBell. I have never, ever heard him say a bad word about Bruce Lee.
What a great personality, delivery, and easy-to-listen to voice this guy has! So many homegrown RUclips host/presenters, I cannot listen to for very long without getting annoyed long before their video ends; but this guy - Prince? - is silky-smooth, entertaining, and seems like someone who would be fun and comfortable to hang-out with as a good buddy. Looking to more from him in the future. Keep up the good work!
I’m a fan of exploitation films, spaghetti westerns, old skool kung fu, Italian crime etc all the films Tarantino is into etc , but I’ve always had these weird vibes from him, I remember him saying he preferred Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Dragon Lee to Bruce Lee !!!! I mean that says it all he prefers Bruce impersonaters , just ridiculous, there is a certain group of people who criticise Bruce about the tournament bullshit, but the fact Bruce was Bruce he was always going to have people very jealous of him.
I actually know some of Jesse's students and they talk about Jesse like he was untouchable, some of them being from the military... Jesse always said Bruce was untouchable so I don't think Quentin knows what he is talking about. But it doesn't matter. Let him be an idiot. The only people who need to be right is the ones who knew him.
Yep. One of the best things to happen to Bruce Lee was his close inner circle of friends in Seattle. Jesse Glover was a high level Judoka that would win tournaments. Jim Demille was a boxer in the military and street fighter. Both were much bigger than Bruce but marveled at his speed and skill, and that was before Bruce evolved into the Bruce Lee as we know him.
@przybyla420 it is kind of irrelevant. I don't remember the videos arguments, so I can't really defend it or excuse my comment. But for some reason, people think the military teaches good fist fighting when it doesn't. You made a lot of bad decisions if you end up fist fighting your enemy when you both have guns.
Now I think this is your best video!!!! You represented Bruce and stood up for him. Most of your videos seem to kind of make him seem like an average martial artist. But this video gives him his due recognition.
Great video! My son is into martial arts and Bruce Lee now. I showed him your video. He really appreciated your insights! There is no question: Lee was and is a real legend. Thanks so much!
I really dislike Tarantino after watching this movie. I grew up in the 60’s and Bruce Lee was a hero for me when I was younger. Even inspired me to study karate for a year, and then I moved onto kickboxing for a number of years there after. I don’t appreciate the way Bruce was portrayed in this movie. Thank you for making this video. God bless.
I have not seen this movie, nor do I wish to. I have enjoyed Quentins movies in the past but showing this type of disrespect for the sake of profit is truly sad.
Your stament is so absurdly vague. So you refuse to watch any movie where a character gets displayed in a somewhat negative manner because it is 'disrespectful'. Or any movie where a character YOU LIKE gets disrespected? You should never ever start up another film then, start staring at walls and get yourself comfortable with that existance. Also, I'm kind off relieved that you're not gonna watch the movie, because I don't think you'd be able to fully grasp what is going on in most scenes. Pretty sure you cant seperate fiction from fact either, you know this being a fictional movie with real people even though most of the plot is fictional.
@@berliaux Bruce Lee in his death has become an icon of legendary status. From his many students; to the people that knew him, he left behind a mastery of his art, philosophy and skill set. Quentin has a license to do what he wills, its his movies. But telling people that object to his portrayal to "eat a d***" is not respectful in any way. I appreciate your take and opinion but you have to be careful stating what people can and cant do.
If people are upset about the story that Bruce Lee got his ass handed to him by an older martial artist. That story is 100% true. My dad was there when it happen in the 60's. Bruce Lee was at demonstration in Seattle. Bruce Lee thought he was better than this older martial artist. He kept giving the older martial artist a hard time. He had enough and put Bruce Lee in his place. Basically told Bruce Lee that would be enough. Bruce bowed and sad he was sorry. People put Bruce Lee on too high of pedestal. Bruce Lee could be quit cocky sometimes. Bruce Lee was a human with flaws.
The thing is Bruce Lee was human like the rest of us and even he knew who could beat him. But Bruce really focused on teaching people to adapt just like water. He wasn't looking to be over people, Bruce was just looking to bring out the best in others. Even Bruce himself said that Muhammad Ali would beat him. Still, I have much respect for Bruce Lee, he has inspired generations to see something. To see the best in themselves. He also didn't look at your skin color or race, the only thing that mattered is that you train and train hard and achieve something. Thanks, Bruce Lee.
Precisely. In the movie, Tarantino could've actually let Cliff Booth win a fight against Bruce Lee. The problem is Bruce is portrayed as a complete anthesis of his real personality. There is racial reasons behind that.
Bruce was just being humble about Ali and he was referring to if they fought in the ring. In a street fight, that would be a whole different ball game. Also Bruce had a boxing match back in Hong Kong in the late 50’s. This was confirmed by his brother, Robert Lee.
All I saw was a mediocre Director who makes shit films have an actor that ran from Mike Tyson screaming like a bitch portray a charcter who beat up another actor who looks like Bruce Lee. End of story !!!
Bruce lee grew up on the streets of Hong Kong fighting gangs,everyone was scared of him during his time in America. He was on another level physically and mentally to every other martial artist at the time.
I do have an issue with this point of view. Bruce Lee isn't the only martial arts are he's known for hurting stuntman. Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal and Jackie Chan have all had issues with being rough on stuntman. They were never technically mean to the stuntman and I don't think they ever wanted stuff meant to get hurt but they all wanted they have maximum believability which meant stuntman had you take real strikes and be thrown through real walls and take real Falls and whatnot. You watch his movies and it's hard to imagine that nobody ever got hurt. But it doesn't mean there is malice or heartlessness involved. I also take issue with the idea that nobody in the martial arts world is allowed to say anything negative about Bruce Lee. In the same way musicians aren't allowed to say anything negative about the Beatles and rappers aren't allowed to say anything negative about Tupac martial artists aren't allowed to say anything negative about Bruce lee. The only point Quentin Tarantino even makes in the movie is that as good of a martial artist as he was, Bruce Lee was still an actor and his martial arts was directed more towards the show than it was actually fighting people. Jet Li is one of the first people to say that his martial arts is cool as it is on screen is more of a dance and a show than it is functional fighting style. Brad Pitt's character in the movie came from a different kind of fighting that came from the military which has no show to it whatsoever but it's all about dispatching your opponent as quickly as possible. As good as Bruce Lee was hard not to think that after 10 20 30 years however long he was in the movie business before he died he might have gotten a little soft in terms of real martial arts because everything he did was for movies with people hooked up to cables and everything's choreographed. There is nothing in the movie that implied to me at least that Bruce Lee wasn't as good as everyone thinks he was. The movie Just implies that maybe if he fights somebody that fights for real he could possibly lose a fight. But no self-respecting martial artist will admit that Bruce Lee can lose a fight. It's not allowed. I know if I wanted to become a serious martial artist I would never say anything negative about Bruce Lee because I would be ostracized. And that's not right. And the idea that the great Bruce Lee that everybody considers to be the great Bruce Lee who everybody considered to be the great Bruce Lee before he died didn't have any ego issue is ridiculous. You don't get treated like a god for very long before you start to get an ego whether you're a martial artist or a rockstar or an actor or whatever. You spend five 10 15 20 years being worshiped by people and you get a big head.
Tarantino is a joke for even saying anything about Sifu lee. He doesn’t have a shred of decency or respect for those who have passed. His movie is a disgrace to everything he stood for.
There's an interview with the guy who starred in The Green Hornet who put this in context. Basically, Bruce was trying to do things that would not work in camera or is not really necessary in the context of not hurting stuntmen. It was not until they showed him how his suggestions would not work did Bruce acknowledge his error.
well, I practice and teach MA for decades. and as such i wanna say that Bruce was not a turnament fighter. As much as i love Tarantino's movies, he f...d up this time for sure, for numerous things.
He could've easily went to Brazil to do Vale Tudo fights which were going on at the time. Literally no rules, not even time limits. Before people say "Oh no one knew about that then" the Gracies were already teaching in the USA by the 1960s (mainly Rolls)
BRUCE WAS A WORRIOR HE BRETH MARTIAL ART HE TRAINED FOR STREET FIGHTING IT MEAN' s HE DON 't need to show him self every times , when fight fs over he fight any time any place any situation don't need to tournament
@@iorekby Bruce was getting into acting and finally was able to support his family. Why would he ruin that to fly off to some fight island like a real "Enter the Dragon"?
You know, you're one of the most captivating people I've ever come across online. I know I sound like a complete flower but really, I'm always disappointed when your videos end. Cheers, man. Good luck to ya!
how disappointing cuz I loved reservoir dogs and pulp fiction but Tarantino hasn't really made a good movie in a long time. He sounds like an asshole here. And that fight scene... please. Like Bruce Lee would do a flying kick twice (or even once) and let him get under his skin like that.
I like to see Tarantino do a one arm two finger push up lol seeing some of these comments shows that some people don't appreciate what Lee brought to America but true martial artist like Connor, and Anderson, and bones Jones gives Bruce lee the respect he deserves. It sad to see the hate from the 60s still exist in 2021 crazy Rip Dragon Lee ✌
@@grantsolomon7660 I don't hate Bruce, I am presenting facts, which are there is no hard evidence of Bruce being a great fighter because none of us have seen Bruce in a real fight. It's all "he said" or "they said".
@@stevo62ful He said she said?.Im wondering exactly how Joe Lewis reckons his fighting skills improved after training with Bruce Lee, especially if Lee wasn't a good fighter and he is one of the many.It seems that as people get older or drop the branch history is rewritten.
Thank you so much for making this video and settling the record straight. I have been a Bruce Lee fan for nearly 30 years, and that ridiculous portrayal of him really upset me!
I found the scene really cringey when I watched the movie. I guess because I expected Tarantino to show more respect for Bruce, since Tarantino is such a fan of cult movies. When I thought about it a bit more, I started to wonder if this has something to do with the fact that Lee helped put Golden Harvest on the map, who were one of Shaw Brother's competitors, and it's well-know that Tarantino is a huge fan of Shaw Brothers, so maybe this was his way of dissing Bruce Lee in order to help promote Shaw Brothers? Lee's style was definitely more contemporary and realistic than the Wuxia that Shaw Brothers were known for. Since Lee was an unprecedented breakout star who ushered in a completely new style of martial arts cinema, it can't have been good for Shaw Brother's business. Either way, Tarantino is pretty lame and he certainly never had the impact ono cinema that Bruce Lee had, so he really has no right to disrespect Bruce Lee!
@@UNSTABLE111 I think that style has had a bit of a renaissance in China as it's seen to instill a sense of pride in young people about China's heritage, so it is heavily backed by the government.
I know this video and all this is relatively old knews now… but I’ve been seeing a lot of people talk bad a out Bruce who don’t even seem to know anything about him other than that he was a martial artist. “oh martial arts isnt effective irl” or “he wouldn’t be able to fight a boxer” when Bruce was a small time boxing “champion” back in Hong Kong. Bruce studied a lot of fighting styles. A wise man once said, what good is all that power, if you can’t hit nothin with it?
A genius is defined as a person that redefines the way an existing discipline forever influencing that discipline by their 30th birthday. Bruce Lee did that for film choreography, and the use of mixed martial arts to dominate street fighting, both before his 3Oth birthday. I've used Bruce Lee's contributions to street fighting to beat the crap out of 8 or 9 legitimate tough guys and fought a couple of cage fights winning one and losing the other. This was before drug testing turned MMA into a watered down sport. Because taking head blows damaged the glands in your brain reducing testosterone production, steroids should still be allowed, I want into them but I was never afraid to fight with people that were. Now days mma requires fighters to weigh within a pound of each other, back in the day I was allowed to fight an undrafted fighter that outweighed me by 20 pounds after he cut weight. He beat me .but I never tapped. I wouldn't have had the ability to put on a show without studying Bruce Lee's Tao and without some training under Hal Faulkner that was a student of Lee, Inosanto, and the first American that went to camp Gracie in Brazil and got a black belt under Hickson Gracie 7 years before the first UFC. I spent enough time to understand a little BJJ years before the first UFC and I used it in many street fights and it worked like magic in those days when BJJ was pretty much unknown outside Brazil and Japan. Bruce Lee stopped studying Wing Chun because Wing Chun is not worth a crap in a street fight if your under 150 pounds and your fighting American brawlers that are 250 plus. If I extracted enough from the ghost of Bruce Lee who was dead, and I'm a total nobody, then that is a testament to just his genius in the realm of real fighting and cage fighting. If his principals were unsound then I wouldn't have won again and again when doing dangerous work for the insurance companies in places like Oakland and even Stockton during the tail end of the crack epidemic. Right now and I hate to be political but Bruce Lee is not the only one being attacked by elements of the white supremacist, alt right historical revisionist that have reared their ugly head in recent years. Muhammad Ali is also under attack by closet Nazis that say his fights were fixed and that he wasn't really a good boxer! Closet Nazis that couldn't fight their way out of a vegan potluck have the audacity to say Muhammed Ali was not a good boxer! These same packer woods that make love to goats cause they are afraid of transgenders just because their daddy's never taught them to be able to tell the difference between a woman and a man dressed as a women are starting to claim Royce Gracie was not really a good cage fighter! Same closet Nazis taking pot shots at another genius in the dark esoteric arts of high level competition fighting and hard core street fighting against any fighters any where in the world. Anybody that wants to get in one of Bruce Lee's students and tell them Bruce Lee was not a "real fighter" should (if he is still alive) insult Lee in front of Kareem Abdul Jabar! Tell him that! Kareem studied under Bruce for 5 years! Bruce wrote about the danger of fighting tall fighters with long reach arguing that reach was the same as speed. Bruce a master of the understatement had a rare opportunity to learn to solve the riddle of a small fighter handling a tall long fighter. Bruce Lee just like Muhammed Ali and Royce and Hickson Gracie even the likes of Ed Parker or Fairbairn and Appelgate masters of Knives for military use and the list goes on and on back to the caves and back to Africa where we first entered into the animal kingdom are Geniuses in the arts of life and death via hand to hand combat. The elephant in the living room is that these attacks on non white athletes and street fighting gurus is all about racism taken to its extreme. The people that are trying to steal the glory of true geniuses throughout history that all happen to be black or Asian or Latino are not capable of judging their level of skill and don't have the intellectual capacity to appreciate their specific contribution to the collective conciousness we all have the ability to tap into, these critics of the likes of Bruce Lee and Ali are racist to the core and are subconsciously hardwired by their racist hate to try and end their legendary and extraordinary Ives, skill, and ultimately their acts of genius in order to create an inferior but much whiter well in which to drink from. The haters have no clue how to tell a women from a man or a goat from the sand and their purpose is to whitewash the collective contribution of non whites to all areas of art and entertainment, athletic, medicine, hard science, politics, sex, and military, exploration and extreme sports, crime and religion. Hating on Bruce Lee is hating on Martin Luther King. The people trying to erase Bruce Lee are the same people that would have rather have Putin as President instead of Obama or even the Catholic Biden. Trashing Bruce Lee is just part of a machine that for the last 15 years has been erasing the accomplishments of minorities and liberals. That's what is actually happening. You can easily tell how immensely talented a Bruce Lee or a Martim Luther King really were by just watching and weeping at sheer excellence. The tide is shifting against the racist revisionist and we are approaching slack tide. This slack tide is the moment that the liberal and minority and impoverished are crossing the bar of systematic racist revisionism and once again entering the freedom of an ocean of human achievmant and humane governance that is going to end this Post Truth abomination and replace it with the swells, salty air, and seabirds that interact upon the ocean of humanity. The racist Nazi's have run out of steam and their black hearted vessel just got smashed by the breakers and standing waves guarding the treacherous bar that they waited to long to pass.
@@sndspderbytes So, no. You started off all wrong. First, genius is a grandly subjective term and doesn't at all mean what you said it does. Second, Never said Lee wasn't an influential person. I stated countless times that he was a decent actor and great Choreographer. Lastly, the rest of your post is nothing but anecdotal nonsense. It doesn't at all demonstrate Lee's ability to fight.
I'm a 46 yo korean guy who grew up in an all-white community. Bruce was my idol growing up, I read and watched everything I could on his life. I'm also a fan of Tarantino and Rogan, so was disappointed in a lot of misinformation. I'll concede that much of Bruce's life is shrouded in myth, but there is way more evidence that Bruce had to fight random guys on every set who picked fights with HIM, not the other way around. They wanted the street cred.... what would he have to gain? Thanks for your videos! So well researched and great editing!! Subbed!
@@Erynnin Helpful suggestion: If ya' wake up on the, "Wrong side of the bed," do what I do---WHACK on the Bag for awhile! Enjoy the remainder of the year. Stay healthy.
If there is anyone who is arrogant and disrespectful it is Terrantino himself. If bruce was still alive today even at the age of 81 i believe he would kick there asses especially Terrantinos
So true, my Choy Lee Fut grand master could bounce me around effortlessly in his 80s like I was nothing.I wonder how people who knew and respected him like Dan Inosanto and Chuck Norris would view what he said.
Doubtful. I bet even you could have kicked Lee's ass. There is no evidence that Lee was actually a good fighter. At best he was a good choreographer and a decent philosopher.
Bruce as a young guy was cocky but he was respected for having the science to back up what he says. Today MMA is the spiritual successor to what fighting philosophy Bruce came up with which is to constantly adapt and never stagnate. "Be like water" is essentially the meme today in modern martial arts to change based on who you are and who you are fighting. If you can't change you are stunting your growth as a warrior. This philosophy is useful in game theory as well when you play a strategy game and your opponent seems to know you the more you play with them over countless matches. What naturally has to occur for you to beat this guy? You have to change and adjust strategy according to the knowledge he has on your playstyle and throw him off guard to get wins to avoid being too predictable and easy to read. So although a lot of rival martial artists may not like him (jealousy) the real value of his teachings is to "keep yourself in check" and question what you know by testing it in PRACTICE. If it's not practical, you need to humble yourself and admit this may not be the right thing for me to use at this time for this opponent. Many martial artists need to swallow their pride and accept that in science we have to apply the scientific method to prove the theory and you can't do that if you are not engaging in a MMA fight against variety of opponents with different fighting methods. Nobody philosophically can argue against this teaching. That is why people remember him not necessarily the acting or movie career. However the mistake is that haters seem to think fans value Bruce for his fame in movies when it is really the basic philosophy or not limiting yourself. Limiting yourself by stunting your knowledge is intellectual laziness. High intelligence with amazing physical fitness and speed of execution is what wins. Street Fighting requires you assume nothing about your opponent before you get to fight them. (no 4 months before the match to prep or watch videos of your opponent to study them) So simplicity and practicality is what he preferred and those are useful in practice. (and playing defence isn't practical if outnumbered - you may need to take people down as fast as possible so the second wave isn't ready in time to back up the first thugs. Speed in everything is crucial - you don't want to be flashy like his movie characters but instead be hard for your opponent to read and prepare a defence against in time - this works in all fighting types)
Excellent review!!! Thank you for dispelling all the darkness you have dispelled!!! If Tarantino did not have a character named Bruce Lee in the movie no one would really be drawn to see a movie about some one named "Cliff Booth". Tarantino just wanted to make money not portray the truth. Tarantino disrespects fans of Bruce Lee but yet he wants our money!!! Why else would he put a character we love in this movie. Because without that character we would not go to see his movie!!!!!
What? This is just a RUclips so calm down. Lol. Think about how many people the third biggest director of all time has access to? This guy just Googled shit on his computer?
Bruce Lee was humble, but if you watched some interviews, he was a bit on the cocky side, but not holding that against him. He was not as tall as other actors/stuntpersons, so he did have to "prove himself" But everyone stills considers Bruce Lee as a legend. And I guess Shannon Lee knew her father in those first 4 years she was born. I wish I knew what happen with my family the first 4 years of my life. She just knows what others said and his writings, but that isn't the same as being with that person for a long time and get to know the REAL person. IMO As for Tarantino is a vindictive person, he hated his mother when he has a dream to work in the movie biz. She told him it won't work. Now he made sure she doesn't get anything from him if he dies before she does. I think he also doesn't talk to her anymore.
A mockery to Bruce Lee and everything he has achieved and anyone who don't know much about Bruce, after watching this silly movie, will think of him in this light. Hollywood telling false naratives for their own gains once again. Disgusting.
I never seen that shit...here in Amerikkka white folks and foreigner's always win without Jesus.....Blacks, Mary, Buddah and the so called saints bless thier stinky businesses, they win the hearts ofour women, thier eating good off our plate😭 ..lauryn hill said how you go win when you aint right within??? ....shit the devil's babies always prosperin!!! I wanna slap the fool who says God dont bless no mess with a hot plate! Imma slap Karma with a brick on Judgement Day!!!
Hollywood never liked Lee during his life time... they only came calling once he made a name for himself in Asia. It's sad things have come full circle, in a negative way.
Bruce in the film was way too slow, but fighting a killer is different, he could be fighting with killer intent and he'll use any amount of unexpected violence to win. I think that car slam is a perfect example. In real life that's a really bad injury, something a killer would do vs a disciplined martial artist. But I think the fight is a flashback from Cliff's perspective, so maybe that's why Cliff comes out looking so good.
Bruce Lee will always be a mma legend but GSP is the best MMA fighter I've ever seen and he fought clean against the world's best who for the most part were NOT Clean and GSP still beat them.Jon Jones and Anderson Silva did the same but unfortunately Silva failed 2 drug tests and Jones failed 7 or 8 and neither won a championship at 2 different weight classes like GSP.
I believe he even knows this, so remember the saying "Bad press is still press", by spewing these obvious lies, he is making a sort of reverse marketing. It will attract the hate and those whom will see the garbage film, and just because they saw it and money was paid for it, it will bring in big bucks. Call it a sort of scam by Shitrantino.
the real facts. Bruce Lee like many others was a marketing tool. That doesn't mean he was just a actor, because marketing puppet's have to have major talent to be used. So Bruce to me was a savant, that was developed behind the scenes. And so many people have their story about who did Bruce fight and the outcome. There is no consensus on anything, such as Wong Jack man versus Bruce Lee. Then the speed challenge that Lee gave with Grand karate champion Victor Moore film was clearly edited. So the American people has been lied to on many levels. For the guy who made this video is seriously biased. He wasn't there to verify anything. So he's just sharing his opinion like anyone else. Smh😏
I honestly think it's disrespectful especially to Bruce lees daughter and wife. How would he feel if his dad passed away and someone made a movie about him and made him out to be an asshole and lie about his character in order to make money off of it. Because if someone did that about my dad I'd be furious and I can relate to Shannon because mt dad passed away so that's disrespectful and disgusting
Tony Tarantino was never there for Quinton growing up lol He only tried coming back into his life when Quentin became successful and popular. He only met him in person once at a diner unexpectedly, and just told him to go away.
Grow up. Just because someone is pulling the wool over the audiences eyes on a "legend", doesn't make the facts any less facts. We have no evidence that Lee was even close to as good as people believe him to be and yes, he was an arrogant narcissist.
@@lostheart8092 WE do indeed have plenty of evidence he was that good, many top fighters were trained by Lee, do more research and you will see how good he really was, and a really nice guy!--so dont lose heart keep looking into it and you will see some who was indeed a "one off" --and a true LEGEND.
I know that Bruce Lee would never be such a bully he was budhist, he was so loyal to his convictions and believes that it inspired Chuck Norris to become born again Christian.
Bruce Lee was an actor, not a fighter. Why do we worship actors? All of his TV and movies were sped up and edited to make him appear faster. If you look at his home movies, he was not any faster than anyone else. The one inch punch is a parlor trick.
Tarantino clearly is trying to sell his movie and book in a meretricious way. He hates the fact that he will not go down in history as a cutting edge director like John Ford or Coppola or Spielberg. His movies are entertaining but reveal a very troubled mind where he sensationalizes violence and idolizes sociopaths. He stole the yellow jumpsuit from Lee’s Game of Death that Uma Thurman wore just like most of his ideas which are a comic book version of others ideas. He is no builder or an innovator. His movies leave you with nothing more than an emotional rush with little or no aforethought. He confesses that he knew Harvey Weinstein was preying on his actresses and says he should of told him not to do that but still won’t admonish. He’s like one of those wannabe tough guys who cowardly hides behind his cameras and shows up after the violence is abated. While Charles Manson rots in jail, Tarantino makes millions. Even his portrayal of Sharon Tate lacks substance and depth giving her character little or no dialogue just a victim that he’ll rewrite the script for and save her and her unborn child from a gruesome death. I can’t be the only one that finds his films entertaining but every time I see him in interviews I am put at unease and a feeling of foreboding especially when he speaks. In his cameos you almost want to see him be the victim where he is suffers maiming and violence that he portrays on many of his victims. I’m sure one day that will happen to him as he realizes no one recognizes him as the creative genius but nothing more than a usurper of other’s ideas, nothing more of bagman for mediocrity that’s riddled with others work. PS: Hollywood and the West is not ready for a non-white man to be the alpha. My condolences to Shannon Lee to have to endure the racism even though her father is not here to defend himself. As a postscript Bruce Lee’s affair to white actress Sharon Farrell who then dated Steve McQueen whose friendship at the time drifted apart. One can only wonder was it because Lee got the girl first? So much like the scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where McQueen pines for Sharon Tate at a Playboy Mansion losing out to Roman Polanski and Jay Sebring.
@@georgekim933 perfect rebuttal. "Birth of a Nation" was even shown by the US President of the day in the White House to promote the false narrative of white supremacy. To white racists, that film was not just a film but a filmic/virtual reality with sights, sound and fury.
The thing that dusgusted me about it was three factors. 1. Bruce didn't have to win the fight for his character to have more respect. They just simply have to make the fight itself look more The main issue was that the way he was portrayed both as a character and a fighter was grossly misinterpreted. In terms of Fighting the fly kick was a major spit on two of Bruce's philosophies. The first being that he only does it in the movies and the second this quote from Longstreet. "You think a fight is one blow? One kick?" Whereas here he does the same move twice with results he himself predicted decades prior. Not to mention this place on the set of Green Hornet. Around that time, Bruce was laying the foundations for Jeet Kune Do. So the better way for the fight scene would have him use a more rougher version of it. To make it short oh, there was a better way of doing the fight while still giving Quentin's own character respect. 2. Out of all the times Quentin Tarantino has made claims of his characters being exaggerations and outright lying, this was the one time he thought he was telling the truth. The arrogance that came with it, made me very dissappointed. You do not tell Bruce Lee's relatives, students, co-stars and fellow actors and martial artists, that you know about Bruce more than they do. Yet he gleefully says it. 3. They missed out on a lot of good opportunities. In real life Roman Polanski, accused Bruce of murdering Sharon Tate. Since she was going to live in this movie, their confrontation could have gone a different way. Such as say, Bruce being the first to know about his endeavours. Not to mention, many people believe Bruce would have been in a position to save Sharon Tate from Charles Manson. It's Hollywood shlok, but that would have attracted more audiences.
@@Scornfull I just don't get why he would be jealous of Bruce. Maybe if Quentin wanted to be a famous and revered martial artist. But as far as I can tell Quentin has totally different aspirations so I really don't get why you would assume that he made Bruce out to be the way he is in his film out of jealousy. Why is it so hard to believe Quentin may have heard stories from people in the industry that actually worked with a young Bruce Lee and recalled him being a bit cocky/ rough on his fellow stuntmen, then decided to make an exaggerated version of that to try and accentuate how badass the FICTIONAL character of Cliff was supposed to be? Its well known that Gene Lebell did something similar and then him and Bruce became friends. I just see this as a plot device to show how badass Cliff was supposed to be. Its not supposed to be taken so seriously.
That SO-CALLED fight scene was a parody of Bruce Lee on an extreme level! It was like a kid that just saw a Bruce Lee movie who’s trying to imitate what he saw on the screen. But here’s the thing that went over most people heads, Tarantino insulted Muhammad Ali too! Everybody who knows Ali’s story knows that he didn’t like to be called Cassius Clay! As a matter of fact he almost killed a guy in the ring because he refused to call him by his Muslim name. Tarantino managed to totally DISRESPECT 2 of combats sport most iconic personalities!
Right. Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali in 1964. The Sharon Tate - Bianca murders happened in 1969. No excuse for not calling him Muhammad Ali.
I, well we watched the movie, my wife and I watched / bought, “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD”. We absolutely loved it! Yes, it was hilarious in several places. And, how Quentin Tarantino portrayed Bruce Lee, lol 😂 was so hilarious! Both of us almost said the same thing nearly at the same time, along these lines. “If Bruce was alive when the movie came out, we betcha that Bruce himself would have laughed right alongside us all!! Lol 😝 lmao 🤣
Lmao I couldn't stop laughing when you kept asking and pointing out which ones would suck a D and then playing the Tarantino clip of saying "Go suck a D". Good stuff man, fair points as well.
Tarantino is a liar. Lee respected all the actors and stunt men, and according to them and others on the set, he didn't like the producers or directors.
No way cliff would have walked away a draw , Bruce Lee was so fast NO one could ever time his speed! Too fast for humans! Jackie Chan said he was really fast,!
I haven't seen the movie,but I seen and heard enuff to know Tarintino greatly Disrespects Bruce Lee .Now with this comment he made he is adding insult to injury, I wonder how his friends in the Wu Tang feel???
Fact is Tarantino is huge David Carradine fan. And Bruce Lee criticized Carradine. Rightfully so as someone who can't even kick above his waist is pretending to be a Kung Fu master. And yes, Carradine did in fact pretended to be a master in real life too. For that, Tarantino hated Bruce. He's mad that Bruce Lee criticized Carradine and now he's saying Bruce Lee's fans have no reason to be mad. What a hypocrite.
Bruce Lee was a human being. What he "really" was like is pretty gray at this point. Most people that talk about him place him on some kind mythical status. He was a flawed guy, and when he was a kid, at the time of Green Hornet he was really just a kid, he probably talked some shit. That is not an "if" because by all accounts he DID talk a lot of shit at times. I love Bruce Lee, but I find the deifying of him as some kind of saint/super hero is wrong. It is contrary to his own philosophy.
Most pro athletes, particularly mixed martial artists and pro boxers, give praise to Bruce's talents despite not witnessing his skills in a real or tournament style fight. His movie fighting choreography and his physical attributes on film though speaks for itself.
Remember, Chinese men were emasculated back then, number one son, houseboys, Fu Manchu etc. Lee was a proud Asian with enough American in him not to suffer fools.
@@CaswellMazzei Well, he was pretty confident in his showmanship abilities. If he sounded like he exaggerated at times, the man was on a mission and didn't care what anyone thought of him at the time. There were certainly folks who thought he was just bragging and talking nonsense. But despite the setbacks he faced in Hollywood, he just would not be deterred. The guy witnessed the control the British had over Hong Kong as a kid and the way the Chinese were being portrayed by the Western media at the time. Deep down inside he wanted to change that portrayal. So, yeah one can say he was boastful and arrogant at times. But many never understood why. He was actually very loyal to his friends and was respectful of those who shared some time with him. So, I guess it's based on perspective.
Changes in Tarantino's attitude towards Bruce occurred during the filming of Kill Bill. It is recorded in this film that he respected Bruce Lee, as he dressed the main character in his costume. But he worked with David Carrodine, who took the Kung Fu project out from under Bruce's nose and subsequently spoke negatively about Bruce in an interview, so I concluded that it was Carrodine who was the person who changed the attitude of one master to another.
Tarantino talking about someone he never met and only knows through a third person , like me talking badly about mother Teresa but I new someone who worked with her in her early days ( I’m not saying Bruce Was anything like mother Teresa ) !.
Did Hal Needham actually fight John Wayne? From what I understand, Hal was worried at first, but it turned out that Wayne was only showing affection; he was just being a little rough because he was drunk and not in complete control. From what I've heard, no fight occurred. I think The Duke and the Little Dragon have that in common-- today, they're both see as bigger assholes than they were. Tarantino on the other hand...
No. And Needham didn't have to teach Wayne how to throw a punch. Wayne and Ward Bond were longtime drinking buddies and barroom brawlers. It was said that Robert Ryan was the only man in Hollywood who could kick John Wayne's ass.
There's a great video of Van Williams discussing.what really happened. Yes many stuntmen quit but it's because Bruce didn't always pull.back and some of them got hurt so they quit. One time Bruce got cocky and the lead stuntman allowed Bruce to coreogaph a fight. He was in over his head, saw the takes and realized how wrong he was to try it. It was horrible on film. It taught Bruce a humble lesson.
@@melaniebalthasar2628 Not going to lie It was on RUclips when I made the post. Nothing against Bruce Lee at all as he was nothing short of amazing. Not sure if it got pulled down but it was Van Williams talking about how a lot of people wouldn't come on the show for fear of getting hurt. Not sure why Tarantino has a hard on against Bruce Lee, maybe jealousy?
It's pretty cool that your grandpa served in Korea. My grandpa also served in Korea. One day I asked my Grandpa, "You went to Korea?"; He looked at me and said "yea" then it's like he disconnected and lost all interest, like I wasn't even there. I never asked him about it ever again.

I think Tarantino is just fuckn with people. If you look at that movie, it's historically inaccurate. Sharon Tate survives for example. I don't take it too serious. I think it's more for publicity than anything.
@@swankybutters8371 Are you a fan of the zodiac killer? I noticed you use his logo.
@@swankybutters8371 I was just curious why you use his logo. I find the zodiac killer case probably the most interesting within the subject of serial killers.

Fun fact about Quentin Tarantino, he drinks a lot of alcohol. A lot! 😂
There was no such thing as Special Forces in the American Army in WWII. They didn't exist yet.
50years after his death and people still argue and talk about him with a passion, now thats what i call a real Legend!
So true.
Would that be the case for Tarantino though?
Because he was the first big martial arts actors, people who know about fighting have never seen him in a fight, so we honestly don't know how great he was, a Legendary actor, made martial arts popular and great dancer
@@deelucks9640 what do you mean about people who know about fighting, lots of top sports fighters have seen him fighting for real, and like most non sports martial masters they almost never are filmed, because are fought behind closed doors, like he did with chuck norris which was on you tube he trained the best and they fought with him, and they knew their place, Joe Lewis won titles because of his time training under Lee, and, Lee would nearly always take up a genuine challange but behind closed doors, i used to work in the film industry and can testify the point of no cameras in a real fight when steven segal was working on a film set in LA and was bullying the film extras , when some one said that he couldnt do that to a master who was living nearby and who was about 85 at the time segal said call him and i will deal with him, well this "old man"did turned up and stood very near segal and in a split second put him a strangle hold and put him to sleep!!!!---Lee had many street fights if you listned to his brother robert, and mobile phones were not about then, anyone at the time could have challenged him and some did but would rather not say!--he was a good dancer and not a Great actor but good enough--but he was the best martial artist of the time, and a real superstar of the big screen, and a real nice guy!
He certainly gained immortality where all the critics will be forgotten in time.
Jackie Chan himself who started out as a stunt man said Bruce had nothing but respect for stunt men and would never hurt them on purpose
@@g-man8980 The exact opposite happened. Bruce hit Jackie and Jackie didnt mind at all, it hurt but he didnt care "Stuntmen get hit all the time" were Jackies words. But he was pretending to be hurt infront of Bruce because Bruce was very empathic and so he always checked up on Jackie if he was ok.

Everybody knows movies are just made up stuff, but when you take a real person, an icon, that you personally hate and make a movie where you make him look like a complete jerk just because he's not around to sweep the floor with your hair, that's low. A coward's move.
TRUE !!!
The funny thing is tarantinos a genius film maker.. but that Joe Rogan interview proved that at the end of the day he's just like every other know it all nerd who knows alot of STUFF.. but has very little common sense whatsoever
The fact that he glibly talked about how badly Bruce treated all the white stunt men &had no respect for them with such dismissive flippancy is irony personified.. this was a Chinese man in racist 1960's Hollywood showing up guys who could barely throw a punch &u wonder why the half-baked drunken anecdotes u got from them were a little bit iffy?
He's either terribly naive &clueless or just another one of those bitter racists who think they're "taking one back for the white man" by getting one over on the legend of a man who LITERALLY overcame all odds to be truly great
I love Bruce Lee. That said, he was shunned by his own people for giving away martial arts secrets. And he definitely did just do a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be useful in a real fight.
Bruce is a made up icon. The guys a actor
One thing is clear now, showing the real Bruce brings problems with his devoted fans. I am not a fan of Tarantino, but he deserves respect, that he tried to be obectiv as possible, even when the BL fans becomes crazy.
Bruce Lee wasn't just a tournament fighter, he was a proficient street fighter. He was one of of the first to acknowledge the shortcomings of traditional martial arts.
He was never a tournament fighter, only street fighter. He didn't go tournament but tournament went to him. There were many guys of different fighting background according to DeMiles tested Bruce up in Seattle. They all failed 🤣.
Tournament fighter - no Street fighter - maybe in his younger years Martial artist - ehh/yes. I believe Bruce to be more of a cinematic martial artist at best.
@@The_Critical_Critic Its your opinion and my opinion to your opinion it don't hold much because he's proven to so many people he can not only fight but potentially kill someone because that is what he trained for.

Thank you for making this video. At least for Hong Kong stuntmen, Bruce Lee would sit and eat with them instead of by himself. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Wah have talked about how he treated them well.
Jackie even took Bruce bowling!! The extras who got beat up in the back alley scene in Way of the Dragon all said Bruce was really friendly with them!
Never watched the movie! And Never will!

"If I tell you I'm good, you would probably say I'm boasting. But if I tell I'm no good, you know I'm lying." Bruce Lee.
Wow how witty.
He's the best ever in my eyes
Exactly, the quote I think of when, I hear all the bs
He was good in martial artist. But nothing special.
This is a really great video! It really sounds like Tarantino confused Bruce Lee for Steven Seagal. In fact, I would but be surprised if he intentionally mixed them up to make his story more interesting.
I 100% agree with your assessment. Tarantino needed a legend to put his character over and there is no Hollywood action star with the legendary status of Bruce Lee.
I also really appreciate how you kept it real. Lee is such a legend that we sometimes forget he was a person and that he had flaws; people forget he never fought in any kind of martial arts competition. The legend is so much bigger than the man himself that martial artist tend to put him up on this pedestal, but you seem to know a lot about him - even some things that go against his larger than life image.
I don't think Tarantino understands just how large Lee looms in the mind of martial artists. There is so much we can say about this legacy and the impact he's had not only on action films, but all over the world of martial arts. You'll be hard pressed to find a martial artist of any discipline who doesn't admire Bruce Lee.
Maybe Tarantino does understand this and figures it's good publicly to have some controversy coming from the niche of martial arts enthusiasts. He gets attention for his project but only alienates a relatively small group.
Again, great video! I was half expecting more of the typical martial artist making Lee out to be some infallible demigod but everything you say here seems totally plausible. I would love to see some of your sources for info about what Lee was like! Do you have any recommended reading for Bruce Lee fans who want to know more about the man behind the legend?
Jackie Chan would call Quentin a liar
Did he?
This man made two whole martial art films where the hero wore a yellow track suit inspired by Bruce in Game of Death and has the nerve to disrespect the source of his inspiration smdh
Not to mention the one inch punch.
@@drewgunner14 push not punch
It’s very accurate portrayal of Lee
Exactly 💯
The film was a homage to old King fu movies especially the Shaw brothers films,.
Thank you very much for shedding light and defending Bruce Lee's honor in this video. Appreciate it. Just for the record, i never did like Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
The portrayal takes one little flaw and massively expands it to ridiculousness! Jackie Chan was a stuntman on a couple of Bruce's films and in a fight scene Bruce accidentally hurt Jackie. When he had seen what he had done he was incredibly sorry and they actually became good friends.
There are also other western martial artists who attest to Bruce's skills.

@@josef-Connected
I didn't write that he wrote all of the books i've read. Odd comment...
Jackie Chan tells a story of a time when Bruce accidentally hit him during a fight scene. Bruce stopped everything cold and was extremely apologetic. Jackie says he was shocked by how much Bruce cared for him even though Jackie was only a stuntman.
ALL it would take Tarantino is that little research you did and he'd know he's wrong, but he, like many immature Twitter Dwellers of today, Ignores the evidence. Even if it's posted, right there for all to see, pretend it doesn't exist and you couldn't provide evidence (when you could and did).
Bruce would never use a flying kick in a real fight. He certainly would not use the same technique twice, in succession, at his opponent’s request. Lastly, Bruce was a huge fan of Mohammed Ali and had great respect for him. The only way the Tarantino fight scene works is if it is a fantasy contained within the mind of the film’s protagonist. Personally, I lost a lot of respect for Tarantino after this movie, and even more so after Tarantino’s defence. Bruce is my Kung Fu uncle. I know what I’m capable of, and I’m aware my uncle was considerably better than me, so Tarantino can suck my fat Irish situation.
Another great video, thank you 👍👍👍
True. Bruce would start off with blasting kick to the knee cap or groin followed with finger jab to the eyes and then a combination of punches with trapping. I'd love to see what would a GI reaction to that would be...
@@eduardoescoban7790 yep, that’s more like it 😎😉👍🖖
He would never been able to do that in real life. He can only perform it as a stunt, not in an actual opponent fighting and resisting him.
First of all, Lee was an arrogant narcissist. There is not evidence that Lee was actually a good fighter in any sense. You also have no reason to believe that Lee wouldn't use a kick like that in a fight, because no one has ever seen him actually fight.

In the book Bruce Lee written by Bruce’s first JKD student Jesse Glover he writes “Bruce believed that there is always someone who can beat you in a fight if the circumstances are right and that to walk around thinking that you can’t be beaten is a foolish mistake that can end your life unfortunately this isn’t a popular concept in the minds of many martial arts people the path that Bruce followed was to live each day with the knowledge that he could be defeated by an expert or novice at any given time”

During the Bruceploitation film era during the 70's and 80's, most producers and directors didn't care about portraying him in the right way as much as making as much money as possible from the "Kung Fu Fever" of that time. None of those movies compared to the real one at that time nor even today.
@@Quantum3691 that's so true
I think tartino talk about the cocky actor who play the role of bruce lee in his movie
Kareem was a good friend. He's a great guy to get info from about Lee.
Yes, and anyone who knows anything remotely about Bruce Lee is that his objective is to take an opponent out in seconds, not minutes.
I just got schooled on some Bruce Lee knowledge. Thank you for the enlightenment.
If Tarantino said in that Rogan interview that Gene LeBell said anything derogatory about Bruce Lee, he's absolutely wrong. I've seen a few interviews with Gene LeBell. I have never, ever heard him say a bad word about Bruce Lee.
Or say anything bad about anyone at all. Gene was a gentleman.
Gene did speak well of Bruce but he's also supposed to have said he would bet his house on Chuck Norris beating Bruce in a real fight
@@stevo62ful you gotta root for your homeboy, right? 😂
Quentin Tarantino will never know what an incredible martial artist Bruce Lee was until probably he got punched and kicked by him.
What a great personality, delivery, and easy-to-listen to voice this guy has! So many homegrown RUclips host/presenters, I cannot listen to for very long without getting annoyed long before their video ends; but this guy - Prince? - is silky-smooth, entertaining, and seems like someone who would be fun and comfortable to hang-out with as a good buddy. Looking to more from him in the future. Keep up the good work!
I’m a fan of exploitation films, spaghetti westerns, old skool kung fu, Italian crime etc all the films Tarantino is into etc , but I’ve always had these weird vibes from him, I remember him saying he preferred Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Dragon Lee to Bruce Lee !!!! I mean that says it all he prefers Bruce impersonaters , just ridiculous, there is a certain group of people who criticise Bruce about the tournament bullshit, but the fact Bruce was Bruce he was always going to have people very jealous of him.
I think tartino talk about the cocky actor who play the role of bruce lee in his movie
Very true, tournaments are not always the true measure of someones fighting skills.
Why Quentin made Django a black guy? I like Italian westerns and he is not black
I actually know some of Jesse's students and they talk about Jesse like he was untouchable, some of them being from the military... Jesse always said Bruce was untouchable so I don't think Quentin knows what he is talking about. But it doesn't matter. Let him be an idiot. The only people who need to be right is the ones who knew him.
Yep. One of the best things to happen to Bruce Lee was his close inner circle of friends in Seattle. Jesse Glover was a high level Judoka that would win tournaments. Jim Demille was a boxer in the military and street fighter. Both were much bigger than Bruce but marveled at his speed and skill, and that was before Bruce evolved into the Bruce Lee as we know him.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 %
Am I the only one who thinks being in the military is absurdly irrelevant
@przybyla420 it is kind of irrelevant. I don't remember the videos arguments, so I can't really defend it or excuse my comment. But for some reason, people think the military teaches good fist fighting when it doesn't. You made a lot of bad decisions if you end up fist fighting your enemy when you both have guns.
Now I think this is your best video!!!! You represented Bruce and stood up for him. Most of your videos seem to kind of make him seem like an average martial artist. But this video gives him his due recognition.
"Most of your videos seem to kind of make him seem like an average martial artist."
You have me confused with someone else.
Great video! My son is into martial arts and Bruce Lee now. I showed him your video. He really appreciated your insights! There is no question: Lee was and is a real legend. Thanks so much!
I really dislike Tarantino after watching this movie. I grew up in the 60’s and Bruce Lee was a hero for me when I was younger. Even inspired me to study karate for a year, and then I moved onto kickboxing for a number of years there after.
I don’t appreciate the way Bruce was portrayed in this movie.
Thank you for making this video. God bless.
I will never support a Tarantino film again. Nothing but telling lies to slander lee
Fk Tarantino. He's an embarrassment to all italians.
thank you for clearing the air on this bs . . .tarantino gets on my nerves the more I learn about him
If another director filmed a scene like that with Sonny Chiba getting tossed around, Tarantino would be triggered for decades over it.
I have not seen this movie, nor do I wish to. I have enjoyed Quentins movies in the past but showing this type of disrespect for the sake of profit is truly sad.
It's definitely not one of his better ones, IMHO.
Your stament is so absurdly vague. So you refuse to watch any movie where a character gets displayed in a somewhat negative manner because it is 'disrespectful'. Or any movie where a character YOU LIKE gets disrespected? You should never ever start up another film then, start staring at walls and get yourself comfortable with that existance.
Also, I'm kind off relieved that you're not gonna watch the movie, because I don't think you'd be able to fully grasp what is going on in most scenes. Pretty sure you cant seperate fiction from fact either, you know this being a fictional movie with real people even though most of the plot is fictional.
@@berliaux Bruce Lee in his death has become an icon of legendary status. From his many students; to the people that knew him, he left behind a mastery of his art, philosophy and skill set. Quentin has a license to do what he wills, its his movies. But telling people that object to his portrayal to "eat a d***" is not respectful in any way. I appreciate your take and opinion but you have to be careful stating what people can and cant do.
@@berliaux If it is a fiction, then don't put a real people with real name in it.
If people are upset about the story that Bruce Lee got his ass handed to him by an older martial artist. That story is 100% true. My dad was there when it happen in the 60's.
Bruce Lee was at demonstration in Seattle. Bruce Lee thought he was better than this older martial artist. He kept giving the older martial artist a hard time. He had enough and put Bruce Lee in his place. Basically told Bruce Lee that would be enough. Bruce bowed and sad he was sorry.
People put Bruce Lee on too high of pedestal. Bruce Lee could be quit cocky sometimes. Bruce Lee was a human with flaws.
Proof? I can also create such false story easily. Your dad must be racist so he was trying to downplay asian
Van Williams Say's everybody loved BL on the set of the Green hornet, yes even the stuntmen.
Tarantino is trying to rewrite history just to justify his shitty movie... crazy that none of the actors and stuntmen have spoken out yet
Bruce was charming to a fault. Cocky? Yes. Prankster? Yes. But his charm won everybody over. Van loved the guy.
The thing is Bruce Lee was human like the rest of us and even he knew who could beat him. But Bruce really focused on teaching people to adapt just like water. He wasn't looking to be over people, Bruce was just looking to bring out the best in others. Even Bruce himself said that Muhammad Ali would beat him. Still, I have much respect for Bruce Lee, he has inspired generations to see something. To see the best in themselves.
He also didn't look at your skin color or race, the only thing that mattered is that you train and train hard and achieve something.
Thanks, Bruce Lee.
Precisely. In the movie, Tarantino could've actually let Cliff Booth win a fight against Bruce Lee. The problem is Bruce is portrayed as a complete anthesis of his real personality. There is racial reasons behind that.
is not better to work to eradicate the violence than to trying to be the best in fighting? 🤔
Bruce was just being humble about Ali and he was referring to if they fought in the ring. In a street fight, that would be a whole different ball game. Also Bruce had a boxing match back in Hong Kong in the late 50’s. This was confirmed by his brother, Robert Lee.
Great background information on Lee and Needham. New to your channel and started binged watching. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know why he did that he literally disrespected Bruce Lee’s legacy and his family

@@garrettschelsteder7282 well answer the question you know so much about him
I do have an issue with this point of view. Bruce Lee isn't the only martial arts are he's known for hurting stuntman. Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal and Jackie Chan have all had issues with being rough on stuntman. They were never technically mean to the stuntman and I don't think they ever wanted stuff meant to get hurt but they all wanted they have maximum believability which meant stuntman had you take real strikes and be thrown through real walls and take real Falls and whatnot. You watch his movies and it's hard to imagine that nobody ever got hurt. But it doesn't mean there is malice or heartlessness involved. I also take issue with the idea that nobody in the martial arts world is allowed to say anything negative about Bruce Lee. In the same way musicians aren't allowed to say anything negative about the Beatles and rappers aren't allowed to say anything negative about Tupac martial artists aren't allowed to say anything negative about Bruce lee. The only point Quentin Tarantino even makes in the movie is that as good of a martial artist as he was, Bruce Lee was still an actor and his martial arts was directed more towards the show than it was actually fighting people. Jet Li is one of the first people to say that his martial arts is cool as it is on screen is more of a dance and a show than it is functional fighting style. Brad Pitt's character in the movie came from a different kind of fighting that came from the military which has no show to it whatsoever but it's all about dispatching your opponent as quickly as possible. As good as Bruce Lee was hard not to think that after 10 20 30 years however long he was in the movie business before he died he might have gotten a little soft in terms of real martial arts because everything he did was for movies with people hooked up to cables and everything's choreographed. There is nothing in the movie that implied to me at least that Bruce Lee wasn't as good as everyone thinks he was. The movie Just implies that maybe if he fights somebody that fights for real he could possibly lose a fight. But no self-respecting martial artist will admit that Bruce Lee can lose a fight. It's not allowed. I know if I wanted to become a serious martial artist I would never say anything negative about Bruce Lee because I would be ostracized. And that's not right. And the idea that the great Bruce Lee that everybody considers to be the great Bruce Lee who everybody considered to be the great Bruce Lee before he died didn't have any ego issue is ridiculous. You don't get treated like a god for very long before you start to get an ego whether you're a martial artist or a rockstar or an actor or whatever. You spend five 10 15 20 years being worshiped by people and you get a big head.
Maybe Tarantino forgot Bruce lee is American after he said American stuntmen
Tarantino is a closet racist
@@MrSFblack most liberals are,but id like to know what you're basing that on,considering how many out of work black and brown actors he gave work to.

Frankenstein head Tarantino plagerizes films of yester year
There's an interview with the guy who starred in The Green Hornet who put this in context. Basically, Bruce was trying to do things that would not work in camera or is not really necessary in the context of not hurting stuntmen. It was not until they showed him how his suggestions would not work did Bruce acknowledge his error.

@@kiillabytez neither was Tarantino.
I found the scene really cringey when I watched the movie. I guess because I expected Tarantino to show more respect for Bruce, since Tarantino is such a fan of cult movies. When I thought about it a bit more, I started to wonder if this has something to do with the fact that Lee helped put Golden Harvest on the map, who were one of Shaw Brother's competitors, and it's well-know that Tarantino is a huge fan of Shaw Brothers, so maybe this was his way of dissing Bruce Lee in order to help promote Shaw Brothers? Lee's style was definitely more contemporary and realistic than the Wuxia that Shaw Brothers were known for. Since Lee was an unprecedented breakout star who ushered in a completely new style of martial arts cinema, it can't have been good for Shaw Brother's business. Either way, Tarantino is pretty lame and he certainly never had the impact ono cinema that Bruce Lee had, so he really has no right to disrespect Bruce Lee!

Bruce studied a lot of fighting styles. A wise man once said, what good is all that power, if you can’t hit nothin with it?

Just because this guy can make a picture dont make him no genius.
Yes, making one picture doesn't make him a genius, but making 46 of them with a 90% success rate, does.
@@lostheart8092 at movies yes, at facts no.
A genius is defined as a person that redefines the way an existing discipline forever influencing that discipline by their 30th birthday. Bruce Lee did that for film choreography, and the use of mixed martial arts to dominate street fighting, both before his 3Oth birthday. I've used Bruce Lee's contributions to street fighting to beat the crap out of 8 or 9 legitimate tough guys and fought a couple of cage fights winning one and losing the other. This was before drug testing turned MMA into a watered down sport. Because taking head blows damaged the glands in your brain reducing testosterone production, steroids should still be allowed, I want into them but I was never afraid to fight with people that were. Now days mma requires fighters to weigh within a pound of each other, back in the day I was allowed to fight an undrafted fighter that outweighed me by 20 pounds after he cut weight. He beat me .but I never tapped. I wouldn't have had the ability to put on a show without studying Bruce Lee's Tao and without some training under Hal Faulkner that was a student of Lee, Inosanto, and the first American that went to camp Gracie in Brazil and got a black belt under Hickson Gracie 7 years before the first UFC. I spent enough time to understand a little BJJ years before the first UFC and I used it in many street fights and it worked like magic in those days when BJJ was pretty much unknown outside Brazil and Japan. Bruce Lee stopped studying Wing Chun because Wing Chun is not worth a crap in a street fight if your under 150 pounds and your fighting American brawlers that are 250 plus. If I extracted enough from the ghost of Bruce Lee who was dead, and I'm a total nobody, then that is a testament to just his genius in the realm of real fighting and cage fighting. If his principals were unsound then I wouldn't have won again and again when doing dangerous work for the insurance companies in places like Oakland and even Stockton during the tail end of the crack epidemic. Right now and I hate to be political but Bruce Lee is not the only one being attacked by elements of the white supremacist, alt right historical revisionist that have reared their ugly head in recent years. Muhammad Ali is also under attack by closet Nazis that say his fights were fixed and that he wasn't really a good boxer! Closet Nazis that couldn't fight their way out of a vegan potluck have the audacity to say Muhammed Ali was not a good boxer! These same packer woods that make love to goats cause they are afraid of transgenders just because their daddy's never taught them to be able to tell the difference between a woman and a man dressed as a women are starting to claim Royce Gracie was not really a good cage fighter! Same closet Nazis taking pot shots at another genius in the dark esoteric arts of high level competition fighting and hard core street fighting against any fighters any where in the world. Anybody that wants to get in one of Bruce Lee's students and tell them Bruce Lee was not a "real fighter" should (if he is still alive) insult Lee in front of Kareem Abdul Jabar! Tell him that! Kareem studied under Bruce for 5 years! Bruce wrote about the danger of fighting tall fighters with long reach arguing that reach was the same as speed. Bruce a master of the understatement had a rare opportunity to learn to solve the riddle of a small fighter handling a tall long fighter. Bruce Lee just like Muhammed Ali and Royce and Hickson Gracie even the likes of Ed Parker or Fairbairn and Appelgate masters of Knives for military use and the list goes on and on back to the caves and back to Africa where we first entered into the animal kingdom are Geniuses in the arts of life and death via hand to hand combat. The elephant in the living room is that these attacks on non white athletes and street fighting gurus is all about racism taken to its extreme. The people that are trying to steal the glory of true geniuses throughout history that all happen to be black or Asian or Latino are not capable of judging their level of skill and don't have the intellectual capacity to appreciate their specific contribution to the collective conciousness we all have the ability to tap into, these critics of the likes of Bruce Lee and Ali are racist to the core and are subconsciously hardwired by their racist hate to try and end their legendary and extraordinary Ives, skill, and ultimately their acts of genius in order to create an inferior but much whiter well in which to drink from. The haters have no clue how to tell a women from a man or a goat from the sand and their purpose is to whitewash the collective contribution of non whites to all areas of art and entertainment, athletic, medicine, hard science, politics, sex, and military, exploration and extreme sports, crime and religion. Hating on Bruce Lee is hating on Martin Luther King. The people trying to erase Bruce Lee are the same people that would have rather have Putin as President instead of Obama or even the Catholic Biden. Trashing Bruce Lee is just part of a machine that for the last 15 years has been erasing the accomplishments of minorities and liberals. That's what is actually happening. You can easily tell how immensely talented a Bruce Lee or a Martim Luther King really were by just watching and weeping at sheer excellence. The tide is shifting against the racist revisionist and we are approaching slack tide. This slack tide is the moment that the liberal and minority and impoverished are crossing the bar of systematic racist revisionism and once again entering the freedom of an ocean of human achievmant and humane governance that is going to end this Post Truth abomination and replace it with the swells, salty air, and seabirds that interact upon the ocean of humanity. The racist Nazi's have run out of steam and their black hearted vessel just got smashed by the breakers and standing waves guarding the treacherous bar that they waited to long to pass.
@@sndspderbytes So, no. You started off all wrong.

Doubtful. I bet even you could have kicked Lee's ass. There is no evidence that Lee was actually a good fighter. At best he was a good choreographer and a decent philosopher.
My Dad fought in Korea. Awesome channel.
Bruce as a young guy was cocky but he was respected for having the science to back up what he says. Today MMA is the spiritual successor to what fighting philosophy Bruce came up with which is to constantly adapt and never stagnate. "Be like water" is essentially the meme today in modern martial arts to change based on who you are and who you are fighting. If you can't change you are stunting your growth as a warrior. This philosophy is useful in game theory as well when you play a strategy game and your opponent seems to know you the more you play with them over countless matches. What naturally has to occur for you to beat this guy? You have to change and adjust strategy according to the knowledge he has on your playstyle and throw him off guard to get wins to avoid being too predictable and easy to read. So although a lot of rival martial artists may not like him (jealousy) the real value of his teachings is to "keep yourself in check" and question what you know by testing it in PRACTICE. If it's not practical, you need to humble yourself and admit this may not be the right thing for me to use at this time for this opponent. Many martial artists need to swallow their pride and accept that in science we have to apply the scientific method to prove the theory and you can't do that if you are not engaging in a MMA fight against variety of opponents with different fighting methods. Nobody philosophically can argue against this teaching. That is why people remember him not necessarily the acting or movie career. However the mistake is that haters seem to think fans value Bruce for his fame in movies when it is really the basic philosophy or not limiting yourself. Limiting yourself by stunting your knowledge is intellectual laziness. High intelligence with amazing physical fitness and speed of execution is what wins. Street Fighting requires you assume nothing about your opponent before you get to fight them. (no 4 months before the match to prep or watch videos of your opponent to study them) So simplicity and practicality is what he preferred and those are useful in practice. (and playing defence isn't practical if outnumbered - you may need to take people down as fast as possible so the second wave isn't ready in time to back up the first thugs. Speed in everything is crucial - you don't want to be flashy like his movie characters but instead be hard for your opponent to read and prepare a defence against in time - this works in all fighting types)
Excellent review!!! Thank you for dispelling all the darkness you have dispelled!!! If Tarantino did not have a character named Bruce Lee in the movie no one would really be drawn to see a movie about some one named "Cliff Booth". Tarantino just wanted to make money not portray the truth. Tarantino disrespects fans of Bruce Lee but yet he wants our money!!! Why else would he put a character we love in this movie. Because without that character we would not go to see his movie!!!!!
What? This is just a RUclips so calm down. Lol. Think about how many people the third biggest director of all time has access to? This guy just Googled shit on his computer?
Bruce Lee was humble, but if you watched some interviews, he was a bit on the cocky side, but not holding that against him. He was not as tall as other actors/stuntpersons, so he did have to "prove himself" But everyone stills considers Bruce Lee as a legend.
And I guess Shannon Lee knew her father in those first 4 years she was born. I wish I knew what happen with my family the first 4 years of my life. She just knows what others said and his writings, but that isn't the same as being with that person for a long time and get to know the REAL person. IMO
As for Tarantino is a vindictive person, he hated his mother when he has a dream to work in the movie biz. She told him it won't work. Now he made sure she doesn't get anything from him if he dies before she does. I think he also doesn't talk to her anymore.
A mockery to Bruce Lee and everything he has achieved and anyone who don't know much about Bruce, after watching this silly movie, will think of him in this light. Hollywood telling false naratives for their own gains once again. Disgusting.

Hollywood never liked Lee during his life time... they only came calling once he made a name for himself in Asia. It's sad things have come full circle, in a negative way.
It’s also an alternate reality, I mean the Manson murders were stopped by the main characters.
Bruce in the film was way too slow, but fighting a killer is different, he could be fighting with killer intent and he'll use any amount of unexpected violence to win. I think that car slam is a perfect example. In real life that's a really bad injury, something a killer would do vs a disciplined martial artist. But I think the fight is a flashback from Cliff's perspective, so maybe that's why Cliff comes out looking so good.
The fact that Bruce lee is still the king of martial arts, Tarantino can't take that.

Who cares what Tarantino thinks? He is one of the most over rated directors out there
I believe he even knows this, so remember the saying "Bad press is still press", by spewing these obvious lies, he is making a sort of reverse marketing. It will attract the hate and those whom will see the garbage film, and just because they saw it and money was paid for it, it will bring in big bucks. Call it a sort of scam by Shitrantino.
just like bruce lee is one of the most overrated actors :D
And he has a very punchable face.
@@galahadthepure7277 not really. More like one of the most inspirational person.
@@galahadthepure7277. No, he was was one of the pioneers of mixed martial arts, which led to MMA becoming an official sport.
the real facts. Bruce Lee like many others was a marketing tool. That doesn't mean he was just a actor, because marketing puppet's have to have major talent to be used. So Bruce to me was a savant, that was developed behind the scenes. And so many people have their story about who did Bruce fight and the outcome. There is no consensus on anything, such as Wong Jack man versus Bruce Lee. Then the speed challenge that Lee gave with Grand karate champion Victor Moore film was clearly edited. So the American people has been lied to on many levels. For the guy who made this video is seriously biased. He wasn't there to verify anything. So he's just sharing his opinion like anyone else. Smh😏
So it was.
I honestly think it's disrespectful especially to Bruce lees daughter and wife. How would he feel if his dad passed away and someone made a movie about him and made him out to be an asshole and lie about his character in order to make money off of it. Because if someone did that about my dad I'd be furious and I can relate to Shannon because mt dad passed away so that's disrespectful and disgusting
Tony Tarantino was never there for Quinton growing up lol He only tried coming back into his life when Quentin became successful and popular. He only met him in person once at a diner unexpectedly, and just told him to go away.
Grow up. Just because someone is pulling the wool over the audiences eyes on a "legend", doesn't make the facts any less facts. We have no evidence that Lee was even close to as good as people believe him to be and yes, he was an arrogant narcissist.
@@lostheart8092 have any sources you want to cite or are you just talking out your ass
@@lostheart8092 WE do indeed have plenty of evidence he was that good, many top fighters were trained by Lee, do more research and you will see how good he really was, and a really nice guy!--so dont lose heart keep looking into it and you will see some who was indeed a "one off" --and a true LEGEND.
@@lostheart8092 grow up? Are you talking to your self?
I know that Bruce Lee would never be such a bully he was budhist, he was so loyal to his convictions and believes that it inspired Chuck Norris to become born again Christian.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Even he inspired Jackie Chan and Donnie yen even jet Lee
I think tartino talk about the cocky actor who play the role of bruce lee in his movie
@@stormjeetkunedo173 Bruce was cocky, but in a charming way. Not to stir up movie set fights.
Japanese are Buddhist and look how bad they were in ww2.
Bruce Lee was an actor, not a fighter. Why do we worship actors? All of his TV and movies were sped up and edited to make him appear faster. If you look at his home movies, he was not any faster than anyone else. The one inch punch is a parlor trick.
Tarantino clearly is trying to sell his movie and book in a meretricious way. He hates the fact that he will not go down in history as a cutting edge director like John Ford or Coppola or Spielberg. His movies are entertaining but reveal a very troubled mind where he sensationalizes violence and idolizes sociopaths.
He stole the yellow jumpsuit from Lee’s Game of Death that Uma Thurman wore just like most of his ideas which are a comic book version of others ideas. He is no builder or an innovator. His movies leave you with nothing more than an emotional rush with little or no aforethought.
He confesses that he knew Harvey Weinstein was preying on his actresses and says he should of told him not to do that but still won’t admonish. He’s like one of those wannabe tough guys who cowardly hides behind his cameras and shows up after the violence is abated. While Charles Manson rots in jail, Tarantino makes millions.
Even his portrayal of Sharon Tate lacks substance and depth giving her character little or no dialogue just a victim that he’ll rewrite the script for and save her and her unborn child from a gruesome death.
I can’t be the only one that finds his films entertaining but every time I see him in interviews I am put at unease and a feeling of foreboding especially when he speaks. In his cameos you almost want to see him be the victim where he is suffers maiming and violence that he portrays on many of his victims.
I’m sure one day that will happen to him as he realizes no one recognizes him as the creative genius but nothing more than a usurper of other’s ideas, nothing more of bagman for mediocrity that’s riddled with others work.
PS: Hollywood and the West is not ready for a non-white man to be the alpha. My condolences to Shannon Lee to have to endure the racism even though her father is not here to defend himself. As a postscript Bruce Lee’s affair to white actress Sharon Farrell who then dated Steve McQueen whose friendship at the time drifted apart. One can only wonder was it because Lee got the girl first? So much like the scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where McQueen pines for Sharon Tate at a Playboy Mansion losing out to Roman Polanski and Jay Sebring.
Oh, shut up. They're just movies.
That scene did get me heated, it was stupid.

Quentin can't make Bruce look silly. Bruce is too cool, legendary, iconic for someone like Quentin to influence how people see Bruce.
1 inch punch to QT schnauzer 👃
Exactly this is actually the first I’ve heard of this movie and have no plans of seeing it
Everything Tarantino about Bruce Lee said was false. I'm not sure why he went about Bruce Lee this way but he made himself look stupid imo
The thing that dusgusted me about it was three factors. 1. Bruce didn't have to win the fight for his character to have more respect. They just simply have to make the fight itself look more The main issue was that the way he was portrayed both as a character and a fighter was grossly misinterpreted. In terms of Fighting the fly kick was a major spit on two of Bruce's philosophies. The first being that he only does it in the movies and the second this quote from Longstreet. "You think a fight is one blow? One kick?" Whereas here he does the same move twice with results he himself predicted decades prior. Not to mention this place on the set of Green Hornet. Around that time, Bruce was laying the foundations for Jeet Kune Do. So the better way for the fight scene would have him use a more rougher version of it. To make it short oh, there was a better way of doing the fight while still giving Quentin's own character respect. 2. Out of all the times Quentin Tarantino has made claims of his characters being exaggerations and outright lying, this was the one time he thought he was telling the truth. The arrogance that came with it, made me very dissappointed. You do not tell Bruce Lee's relatives, students, co-stars and fellow actors and martial artists, that you know about Bruce more than they do. Yet he gleefully says it.
3. They missed out on a lot of good opportunities. In real life Roman Polanski, accused Bruce of murdering Sharon Tate. Since she was going to live in this movie, their confrontation could have gone a different way. Such as say, Bruce being the first to know about his endeavours. Not to mention, many people believe Bruce would have been in a position to save Sharon Tate from Charles Manson. It's Hollywood shlok, but that would have attracted more audiences.
Tarantino is jealous of Bruce Lee success
100% AGREE!
Yeah I'm sure the guy who achieved his dream to become one of the most successful film directors of all time is jealous of Bruce Lee.
@@CaswellMazzei because he is lmao
@@Scornfull I just don't get why he would be jealous of Bruce. Maybe if Quentin wanted to be a famous and revered martial artist. But as far as I can tell Quentin has totally different aspirations so I really don't get why you would assume that he made Bruce out to be the way he is in his film out of jealousy.
Why is it so hard to believe Quentin may have heard stories from people in the industry that actually worked with a young Bruce Lee and recalled him being a bit cocky/ rough on his fellow stuntmen, then decided to make an exaggerated version of that to try and accentuate how badass the FICTIONAL character of Cliff was supposed to be? Its well known that Gene Lebell did something similar and then him and Bruce became friends. I just see this as a plot device to show how badass Cliff was supposed to be. Its not supposed to be taken so seriously.
@@CaswellMazzei because Tarantino made pretty average movies and isn't as fondly regarded as Bruce Lee
GUYS, ACCORDING TO THE MOVIE, ALL SCENES TOOK PLACE IN 1969. THE GREEN HORNEY
WAS CANCELED LATE 67. OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T TAKE PLACE AT THE STUDIO!
That SO-CALLED fight scene was a parody of Bruce Lee on an extreme level!
It was like a kid that just saw a Bruce Lee movie who’s trying to imitate what he saw on the screen. But here’s the thing that went over most people heads, Tarantino insulted Muhammad Ali too!
Everybody who knows Ali’s story knows that he didn’t like to be called Cassius Clay! As a matter of fact he almost killed a guy in the ring because he refused to call him by his Muslim name.
Tarantino managed to totally DISRESPECT 2 of combats sport most iconic personalities!
Right. Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali in 1964. The Sharon Tate - Bianca murders happened in 1969. No excuse for not calling him Muhammad Ali.
You are so right about Bruce lee
Bruce at that time was the fastest martial artist
for me, he was also a very sensitive human being
Thanks
I, well we watched the movie, my wife and I watched / bought, “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD”. We absolutely loved it! Yes, it was hilarious in several places.
And, how Quentin Tarantino portrayed Bruce Lee, lol 😂 was so hilarious! Both of us almost said the same thing nearly at the same time, along these lines.
“If Bruce was alive when the movie came out, we betcha that Bruce himself would have laughed right alongside us all!! Lol 😝 lmao 🤣
The irony is the scene wasn't anything to be mad about until Quintin got defensive and started running his mouth
I actually agree. His defensiveness during interviews is what made this shit blow up.
I watched the movie without knowing about any of this, and the scene was ridiculous in every way.
Lmao I couldn't stop laughing when you kept asking and pointing out which ones would suck a D
and then playing the Tarantino clip of saying "Go suck a D".
Good stuff man, fair points as well.
Tarantino is a liar. Lee respected all the actors and stunt men, and according to them and others on the set, he didn't like the producers or directors.
No way cliff would have walked away a draw , Bruce Lee was so fast NO one could ever time his speed! Too fast for humans! Jackie Chan said he was really fast,!
I haven't seen the movie,but I seen and heard enuff to know Tarintino greatly Disrespects Bruce Lee .Now with this comment he made he is adding insult to injury, I wonder how his friends in the Wu Tang feel???
I love how QT is talking about the dude cliff like he really existed lol
That was a real cool and informed take on the situation! Beats the heck out of angry rants.
He wouldn't speak disrespectful if bruce was still alive...tarantino is a trash talker.
Fact is Tarantino is huge David Carradine fan. And Bruce Lee criticized Carradine. Rightfully so as someone who can't even kick above his waist is pretending to be a Kung Fu master. And yes, Carradine did in fact pretended to be a master in real life too. For that, Tarantino hated Bruce. He's mad that Bruce Lee criticized Carradine and now he's saying Bruce Lee's fans have no reason to be mad. What a hypocrite.
Bruce Lee was a human being. What he "really" was like is pretty gray at this point. Most people that talk about him place him on some kind mythical status. He was a flawed guy, and when he was a kid, at the time of Green Hornet he was really just a kid, he probably talked some shit. That is not an "if" because by all accounts he DID talk a lot of shit at times. I love Bruce Lee, but I find the deifying of him as some kind of saint/super hero is wrong. It is contrary to his own philosophy.
Most pro athletes, particularly mixed martial artists and pro boxers, give praise to Bruce's talents despite not witnessing his skills in a real or tournament
style fight. His movie fighting choreography and his physical attributes on film though speaks for itself.
@@Quantum3691 exactly 💯
@@Quantum3691 that doesn't mean he didn't like to talk shit sometimes.
Remember, Chinese men were emasculated back then, number one son, houseboys, Fu Manchu etc. Lee was a proud Asian with enough American in him not to suffer fools.
@@CaswellMazzei Well, he was pretty confident in his showmanship abilities. If he sounded like he exaggerated at times, the man was on a mission and didn't care what anyone thought of him at the time. There were certainly folks who thought he was just bragging and talking nonsense. But despite the setbacks he faced in Hollywood, he just would not be deterred. The guy witnessed the control the British had over Hong Kong as a kid and the way the Chinese were being portrayed by the Western media at the time. Deep down inside he wanted to change that portrayal. So, yeah one can say he was boastful and arrogant at times. But many never understood why. He was actually very loyal to his friends and was respectful of those who shared some time with him. So, I guess it's based on perspective.
Did he ever met Bruce?Dis he parcticed martial arts?Is he a biographer?An expert in Bruce life?And he insulted me,cause im a Bruce fan too.🤔
Same.
Changes in Tarantino's attitude towards Bruce occurred during the filming of Kill Bill. It is recorded in this film that he respected Bruce Lee, as he dressed the main character in his costume. But he worked with David Carrodine, who took the Kung Fu project out from under Bruce's nose and subsequently spoke negatively about Bruce in an interview, so I concluded that it was Carrodine who was the person who changed the attitude of one master to another.
Tarantino talking about someone he never met and only knows through a third person , like me talking badly about mother Teresa but I new someone who worked with her in her early days ( I’m not saying Bruce Was anything like mother Teresa ) !.
Kind of like Steven Seagal claiming he trained Bruce lee

Did Hal Needham actually fight John Wayne? From what I understand, Hal was worried at first, but it turned out that Wayne was only showing affection; he was just being a little rough because he was drunk and not in complete control. From what I've heard, no fight occurred.
I think The Duke and the Little Dragon have that in common-- today, they're both see as bigger assholes than they were. Tarantino on the other hand...
No. And Needham didn't have to teach Wayne how to throw a punch. Wayne and Ward Bond were longtime drinking buddies and barroom brawlers.
It was said that Robert Ryan was the only man in Hollywood who could kick John Wayne's ass.
@@notsparctacus Well, it looks as if our humble host is spreading bullshit much like Tarantino. I don't know who to believe anymore.

There's just one thing about Bruce Lee. It's either you love him or hate him. Just love the man.
There's a great video of Van Williams discussing.what really happened. Yes many stuntmen quit but it's because Bruce didn't always pull.back and some of them got hurt so they quit. One time Bruce got cocky and the lead stuntman allowed Bruce to coreogaph a fight. He was in over his head, saw the takes and realized how wrong he was to try it. It was horrible on film. It taught Bruce a humble lesson.
Link?
So wheres this link????
@@melaniebalthasar2628 Not going to lie It was on RUclips when I made the post. Nothing against Bruce Lee at all as he was nothing short of amazing. Not sure if it got pulled down but it was Van Williams talking about how a lot of people wouldn't come on the show for fear of getting hurt. Not sure why Tarantino has a hard on against Bruce Lee, maybe jealousy?
It's pretty cool that your grandpa served in Korea. My grandpa also served in Korea. One day I asked my Grandpa, "You went to Korea?"; He looked at me and said "yea" then it's like he disconnected and lost all interest, like I wasn't even there. I never asked him about it ever again.
