Clip Description: Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) takes on Bruce Lee (Mike Moh) in a hilarious fight scene from Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.
This is horse shit. This movie is bulshit about Bruce Lee. I see why Shannon Lee is so upset and wants to sue them because it doesn't portray his her father at all. The fighting is bullshit to Bruce would never even fight like that. And then noise that he makes when he make some move doesn't even sound like Bruce lee.
@Loafy you do realize that mma(mixed martial arts) is more than just grappling yea, Helio knew a few different styles of grappling but that was still in that realm, whereas Bruce Introduced the idea of mixing several styles of martial arts both grappling styles and Stand up styles together...Now mind you Bruce was only one of the many who contributed to mma, He was just the most recognized and famous for putting out there. Either way you look at it though this portrayal of Bruce is very laudable at best, He was definitely cocking but he also had the skill and know how to back it up. I'm sure there were many people who could have challenged Bruce, however I dont think Bruce would have fought this way. He himself has even said he wouldnt ever get that fancy in a real fight. He would stress, how important simplicity is and how important it is to not waste energy. Bruce was a tactician, he wasnt just a fighter for show.
@@johnmatonne7834Ahaa. His own movies give other impression about him. Maybe I confused, because Tarantino is same person in his movies and in real life.
Bruce Lee did actually talk about what would happen if he fought Mohamad Ali. He said that even with all his skill, Mohamad Ali would make quick work of him because he was simply much larger with more strength and reach than Bruce Lee. Of course that would make for a less entertaining movie scene, but it's worth noting that the real Bruce Lee, while he talked a big game, wasn't as arrogant as this version.
Yeah I've seen a lot of Bruce Lee interviews and he never comes off cocky --- usually a humble dude who knows he can't beat guys much bigger than him like Ali or even Kareem
One key thing to remember about this scene: This is Cliff’s recollection of events after remembering what Rick told him about the gaffer for Lancer being the same guy who did it for Green Hornet. So he’s just remembering Bruce a different way than others would.
Fun fact (with some parts to taken with a grain of salt) : Gene Lobell (the real life inspiration for cliff) was a legendary stuntman but also happened to be a martial arts master (judo and wrestling I believe. And is often regarded as a pioneer of the sports and was known in some areas as “the godfather of grappling” ).They brought him in as Bruce Lee reportedly had the habit of actually striking the stunt men as Bruce believed it wouldn’t look realistic otherwise and there was very few people with comparable skills so their answer was to bring Gene in. There was a small fight but Gene and Bruce quickly became friends and even taught each other some of their respective techniques, and trained together. They also Worked on some other projects together before Bruce died (green Hornet being one of them if I’m not mistaken)and at the end of the day they respected each other deeply.
I heard similar stories . I worked with some friends of mine in the Bay Area on a construction site. They had driven up from LA and one of them was a grip in Hollywood. He didn't say anything about Bruce Lee but he did mention that Jean Claude Van Dam was more of a dancer than a fighter. That was in the nineties. They drove up in a fire engine red sixties era Cadillac convertible with a giant set of steer horns mounted on the front. He said most actors were sort of spoiled brats.
I used to watch Gene Lobell on Black&White T.V. as a wrestler, back in the early 60's. Freddy Blassie, Kenji Shibuya, John Tolahs. Freddie would bite his opponents. Kenji would throw salt in their faces....lol.
Lee historian John Little, who had access to all of Bruce's written material and organized them for the Bruce Lee Library series, has debunked LeBell's claims. The friendly encounter to deal with Lee's injuring of the stuntmen never happened, since he came on mid-season and the stunt issues were resolved by the first episode between Bruce and the fight director, Bennie Dobbins, who became a good friend and appeared in sparring photos with him. As for Gene becoming a friend and teaching Bruce grappling, well, in all of the diaries and day planners and notes and letters he's gone through, Little has NEVER seen a single mention of Gene. NONE. And none of Bruce's students recall seeing him or hearing Bruce mention him. Plus, his description of the school as having tatami mats and smelling of incense is just plain wrong; there were bare concrete floors and zero incense. What it boils down to is LeBell was a pro-wrestler at heart who loved to tell tall tales and put his character over. Nothing wrong with that as long as you know to take what he said with, as you said, a big grain of salt.
I agree. Once he took the glasses off, the spell was broken, he just didn't have the eyes. And all the standard Bruce Lee noises at the inappropriate time were just contrived.
issam Baci but my bunghole hurts so why would you not tell me that. Forgive you’re hypocrisy, no thanks. I don’t blame you, though. Moreover, Ben Affleck is a cell eater🤫🤫🤫🤫
This is actually a reversed parody of a real incident that occurred on the set of “enter the dragon”, where bruce lee supposedly stood up to a stuntman. But in the real story the stuntman was the loud-mouth, and bruce lee was brad pitt. This movie essentially reversed the roles. Edit: I realize there were multiple incidents which this could be based on, the most probable one being with Gene Lebell. I was referring to a different incident I had heard of where Bruce supposedly got frustrated with an actor that was not cooperating on set and put him in place.
@@JohnDoe-fi9yh rewriting history as always. Edit: y'all are dawg in on me like its a bad thing, to poke fun at Tarantino's choice to alter history for creative liberty.
@@LuxCirilo imagine having the power to toss a real human being of his size into the door of a car like that and his immediate reaction is to get annoyed, stand up, and snap his own leg back in place with the injured leg. I always thought that the idealism of that super human portrayal was really cool lol
Such an underwhelming line... It's a joke for sure but far from the best in the series. So to reiterate what the other comments said, what is wrong with you?
Bruce Lee would really think twice before throwing flying kicks in real life. He always said in street fights you have to keep things simple. All the fancy jazz was for effect in movies.
@Lairdriver I mean it IS a movie... actually it's a movie about movies with a title "Once Upon a Time..".. This is the same guy who made an ultra violent movie about slavery fun. Made US soldiers practice the same thing their enemies were in an ultra violent movie that makes fun of people watching ultra violent movies. And has Uma Thurman survive a storm of bullets, somehow fix a spinal induced paralysis through sheer will power, cut her way through an entire japanese mafia in a yellow jumpsuit (because of how much he loved and respected Bruce), get shot in the chest twice with a shotgun, 1 inch punch her way out a coffin and climb through 6 feet of dirt just to have a conversation about life and motherhood... try not to take it too seriously lol.
@@MrZillasBruce Lee was an actor who was never in a real fight in his life. And he was smart enough never to step in the ring with Muhammad Ali. He knew he would've been picking his own teeth up off the floor in the first round.
@@younoa8783 And "martial artists" are famous for getting their asses kicked in competitions with brawlers with no formal training at all. People who think Bruce Lee was some kind of superhuman fighting machine, with his "one inch punch" and other nonsense, are fooling themselves. Lee wouldn't have lasted a single round against Ali. Tarantino's scene is based on fact - a stuntman once humiliated Lee on-set by carrying him around on his back, while Lee kicked and screamed like a baby.
@@Emlizardo muay thai is the most common and powerful martial art in MMA and your saying it wouldn't work against an untrained person? Bruce lee understood what works and dosen't in wing chun and wasn't a fake martial artist and blended different ones together which makes one of the first people to create MMA. Lee himself said that Alis big hands would break him compared to his small hands, Sure Ali could beat him in a ring, but on the street ali cant kick and there's no gloves, it would favor in bruce lee more. Also I cant find where your scene is when I search it up?, bruce lee was nice toward stuntman and a lot of former stuntman have said bruce never hit them and if he didn't he would apologise.
In real life Bruce Lee was pretty humble a lot of the time, if someone made fun of his stature or ability to fight others he probably wouldn’t care or be provoked by it.
That is very true. I think the claims about him being a fake fighter are 100% true but he was definately not this argumentative. If someone made fun of him he'd often just walk away and not make a scene. I get its a movie though and they are trying to parody his fake marketing of himself as this unstoppable fighting machine but the way they made his personality come across is very unfair on Mr. Lee.
@@sirpranksalot1 He's not a fake fighter, look up his fight in the karate tournament and check his biography. He's been in fights with street gangs in China, trained people, innovated American kickboxing, and was one of the main inspiration behind alot of training equipment used in martial arts, hitting pads, mma gloves, etc.
I went to my first Fight Club last night. I was a bit late getting there so I missed some of the rules. But, anyway.. Fight Club was brilliant and I'd highly recommend Fight Club! :)
@@Thiigso Stuntman = pretending to be actor. Stuntcar = pretending to be car. No way a car, especially a car from the 70's, is taking on that much damage from that!
Back then everyone who knew Bruce Lee and worked with him, said Bruce was a great and wonderful guy. Once upon a time in Hollywood is a movie about what happens in another universe.
It is taken out of context but he did work with gene labelle legendary stuntman/ judo badass who Bruce lee highly respected and later became a student of to learn grappling from and vice versa gene went to learn from Bruce. This is the only thing we know gene labelle worked on green hornet as well. And we know what gene labelle did to Steven seagal years later so if bruce acted up there's no doubt in my mind gene would of muddied the waters.
According to LeBell, Lee was a working stiff on the set of The Green Hornet but was kicking the shit out of the stuntmen. They couldn’t convince him that he could go easy and it would still look great on film. The show’s stunt coordinator, Bennie Dobbins, needed a ringer to deal with Lee, so he called in Judo Gene. LeBell says when he got to the set, Dobbins told him to put Lee “in a headlock or something.” So LeBell went up and grabbed Lee. “He started making all those noises that he became famous for,” LeBell said, “but he didn’t try to counter me, so I think he was more surprised than anything else.” Then LeBell lifted Lee onto his back in what’s called a fireman’s carry and ran around the set with him. “Put me down or I’ll kill you!” Lee screamed. “I can’t put you down or you’ll kill me,” LeBell said, holding Lee there as long as he dared before putting him down, saying, “Hey, Bruce, don’t kill me. Just kidding, champ.” Back on his feet again, Lee didn’t kill LeBell. Instead, Lee recognized that the lack of grappling was a deficiency in the Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts he was developing. So Lee trained with LeBell for a little over a year with LeBell showing Lee armbars, leg locks and takedowns, and Lee schooling LeBell in kung fu kicks. After training with LeBell, Lee incorporated grappling moves into his film fighting. He finishes off Chuck Norris with a chokehold in Way of the Dragon (1972) and beats a young Sammo Hung with an armbar in Enter the Dragon (1973).
@Tavarahissi agreed. And like the technique he uses to..sort of rolls his arm from the elnow to the hand to help support the legs get up in one motion. Pretty cool.
@@DayInDaLifePitt has had 6 pack abs since coming out of the womb and that hasn't changed for nearly 60 years. You think he needed a stunt man to sit up off the ground?
@@DayInDaLife you actually think that was a stunt double that stood up off the ground? You think Pitt hires someone to roll him out of bed every morning as well? Stop confusing basic movements performed by humans everyday with fighting.
Same here, and Tarantino gave an explanation but watching it again after hearing him really makes it look like Bruce was made out to be an a_ _ hole and a mediocre martial artist... maybe he was both but over the years the portrayal has been different.
It’s funny. I remember reading a book about Bruce Lee in high school. The one thing I specifically remember from that book was him talking about his extreme admiration for Cassius Clay and saying-when asked-that he’d have no chance against Clay in a real fight because of the size disadvantage. That’s the one specific thing I remember from the book 20 years later 🤣
Even Mike Tyson(one of the greatest and most renowned boxers of all time) himself said that Ali would beat him in a boxing match, that he was the greatest of all time, and "Every head must bow and every tongue must confess." Sooooooo....
For the record: multiple people who have worked with Bruce Lee, strongly disagree with the portrayal here. Bruce had a reputation for "not going easy" on stuntmen in fight scenes so it would look real, but he stopped this after someone dislocated their jaw. Also Lee himself said "look at this hand, it's a small Chinese hand. He'd kill me" when asked if he could beat Ali.
@@arreca09 And Bruce haters are gaslighters who love setting people off and love attempting to destroy dead men's legacies. Tell me, don't we have a right to be pissed off? I know I would be pissed if someone tried to destroy my legacy when I am already six feet under. Can you get much lower than that? Gtfoh.
@Joe Dick Seriously? Every movie he releases has some BS controversy going on. Inglorious Basterds had some people whining around, because he supposedly ''made fun out of WWII, the Holocaust etc.'' Django Unchained, had Spike Lee getting his panties in a bunch, because they used the ''N''-word in a movie that took place during the old South/slavery-period. Pretty much every other of his movies,is accused of ''glorifying violence & being sexist'' bla bla bla... In reality, he's a hack, who can only rip-off older, better movies. ''Reservoir Dogs'' has main plotline & entire scenes,ripped-off from Ringo Lam's ''City on Fire'', just to name one example. So, for this movie, he couldn't piss off the black community anymore (not in the current politically correct climate), so he he decided to piss off the Asians and turn Bruce Lee into a bad SNL skit.
@Joe Dick he said in an interview that he personally knew Bruce Lee was arrogant and he said things that wouldn’t mean much like he could beat up Mohammad Ali and stuff. Tarantino made it clear that he is not all what he says he is. But this scene doesn’t say much since he created a character that could beat up Lee. So, whatever Bruce says before that.. all those things he brags that he is great about is just bragging that he often does as per Tarantino.
I know it was supposed to be a parody, but that's just an outright inaccurate representation of Bruce's personality and demeanor. I can see why people hate this bs.
The thing I have always liked about this scene and I hope people caught, is that him being able to fight Bruce Lee and hold his own giving a run for his money makes it much more believable in the ending when you see him physically dismantle 3 maniacs.
I honestly think that’s the entire point of this scene. When he’s kicking the shit out of the Mansons in the back of your mind you’re like “well, of course, this guy held his own against Bruce Lee.”
Tarantino is a master director so he knew he needed a scene that proved that Cliff was a true bad ass who could take on the Manson family and take them out --- what better way than fighting and embarrassing the toughest guy in early 70's cinema like Bruce Lee?
That hippie trailer park scene scarred the fuck out of me. Anyone other man would have been gone immediately and called for help. But Cliff actually stayed and kept looking around. That could only have been done by a badass
From what I understand Jay Sebring who was there was trained by Bruce Lee. I know that being trained by someone is not the same as being able to kick their butt. I watched the movie often, I have it DVR'd. I believe they had already made the point that he was tough. Of course they could have done other scene with somebody else. In the scene , the well trained dog helped considerably. One thing you have to suspend belief on is that they would have even gone to Dalton's house to find a way around to Sharon's rather than just hopping the gate which is what they really did.
really? Lee talking about being humble? that's a laugh... he was the most arrogant person without a single win in life, except a few extras he pick on....

Its pretty accurate. And bruce lee would not beat ali even with weapons. Have you seen how small bruce was and how big ali was and ali was best ever boxer and even if he was nobody he could crush lee easily
@@joulupukki1607 I’m not really talking about how the fight went; but the way they had Bruce lee acting; I know even Bruce lee has said he’d get his ass whooped by Ali anytime.
It was an accurate portrayal. The scene was meant to highlight martial artists who have never actually been in real fights. Bruce Lee is a prime example. He never fought anyone. He’s the most exaggerated martial artist in history. He was an actor. And was arrogant when he talked about himself. There’s no such thing as some untouchable martial artist fighter who can beat everyone in any weight class
Did someone notice the "dong" sound from Martial Arts/ Asian Movies at 3:02 when he puts the milk? I think it was done on purpose to symbolise the start of a challenge.
I dunno mon, even before this film I was exactly on the same opinion as Tarantino, that Bruce Lee was a joke. I do believe that the only positive contribution he had on the film industry is that he effectively gave us.....JACKIE CHAN, thank you, Mr. Lee! :)
"he never fought once but he’s still recognized as a fighting icon" I'm sure cardiologist never had a heart attack once to become a cardiologist. Why do you think that is?
@@gerjaison That's because you need to have a degree in Cardiology to be become a Cardiologist, not a heart attack. If Bruce Lee is a fighting icon then where are his fights? It's like saying Mike Tyson got recognized as a fighter from his movies and and sparring videos, not from his ACTUAL fights. Bruce Lee, for me, is no other than a stuntman/actor/exhibitionist, not a fighter. Sry for bad eng.
I think what a lot of people miss about this scene is that it's not supposed to be an accurate portrayal of Bruce Lee. Per the title of the movie, this is a deliberate parody of how *Hollywood saw* Bruce Lee. The other thing to keep in mind is that Cliff Booth is a fictional character (that Brad Pitt plays him does make it harder to remember this) and therefore can be as skilled a fighter as Tarantino chooses. Tarantino himself stated that while he didn't believe real-life Brue Lee would lose to Brad Pitt, Hollywood Lee *could* lose to Cliff Booth.
Exactly, just like Inglorious Bastards where they kill Hitler and most of the higher ups, it’s not real. We all know by now that Tarantino movies always do the opposite of what it was really like, Including the way Bruce is portrayed here.
I lived back in the day and trained in California. This is an accurate depiction of Bruce Lee. He didn't become a good guy or a "fighter" until after his death. Sorry guys
@Prithu Funny you say that. This scene made a community of Asian incels extremely angry. What you see in the comment section is not white male gloating but instead shitposters poking fun at the outrage this scene caused.
@@RalphRoberts1 Bruce lee didn't talk shit about Ali, infact he said he would probably lose against him, yes bruce could be a showoff and loud, but he wasn't an asshole
Bruce was a massive douch bag. He was arrogant, had a temper, didnt respect anyone who was on screen with him, and lacked sympathy for anyone who wasn't him. People seem to think that just because he was Chinese, he was proper and kind. He literally wasn't.
@Gambino Sorintino I'm a fan of the Eagle too but you comparing Bruce to Khabib in every comment makes a lot of us look bad. stop bro, its embarrassing if you cant see how foolish it is.
I didn't find it to be a satire on how fake Hollywood is. It was more of a celebration of old Hollywood and presenting a fairytale version of it where there was a happy ending rather than a tragic one.
@@Zero95011 I know, it's a movie just like bruce lee beating norris in his movie. Whatever you feel about what would happen, it was a movie lol. Edit- Also did you see the mutant monster guy from the new road warrior who molests kids or whatever had to make a public announcement to please stop sending him hate mail because he is just an actor and not a real child molesting mutant monster LMAO.
Bruce Lee was a friendly chap whenever he's on set. He wouldn't be as slightest cocky as he may seem here on set. The producers would kick him straight out consider the time he was in.
When asked about fighting Mohammad Ali, Bruce Lee was quoted as saying, "Look at my hand. That’s a little Chinese hand. He’d kill me." Obviously he was far more humble and intelligent in real life than in this scene.... But that being said, this was freaking hilarious!
Exactly, he never said he would cripple Ali even though he prob could have, because as good as Ali was he would have been lucky to even land a hand on Bruce Lee
@@sleepman8575 Ali was a fake. He revealed this bitterly in not so many words in one interview I personally remember hearing. And if you watch closely you can see there is no way he could've dodged some of the punches he did, unless of course he was some kind of psychic predicting every move at a fraction of a second, from multiple angles. He couldn't have pulled it off even if THAT were the case because it's not human. He had a loud mouth and a big personality and he could be extremely arrogant. That's what turned his handlers onto him and he let them control him to the end. Bruce Lee was admittedly an actor, and even if Ali were the real deal, Bruce would have still kicked his ass in a real life fight. If Ali was so real, why did he let pro wrestlers put him on his ass? Guess you don't know about that whole part of his SHOW.
It shouldn't be, It's 2 consenting adult that want to destroy each other, No different the The octagon of MMA,, Plus Bruce wasn't ever this narcissistic,, This guy has too much ego....
I remember hearing that somewhere - oh yeah it was in the clip I just watched. So u can actually hear something and then type it out? You must be some kind of genius. They should build railings around you & name a month after you with this godlike skillset .
Omar Wardak Really? How do you know? You have footage of Bruce Lee actually fighting? Also no sane person would do the same thing over and over again, really? Theory is one thing and an actual fight is a another. Many professionals have done the same thing over & over in a fight to no avail because it’s the technique their most confident with and they believe till the end they can land it as long as the opening presents itself. What is for sure tho if Bruce Lee fought a modern martial artist he’d be nothing more than a stain on their shorts.
@@sonnyblack0870 even if bruce was to use the same move over again it def wont be a flying side kick. He knows its for show. Bruce vs mma isnt much of a contest due to how far mma has come. Theres good reason to believe that if bruce learned mma, he would be pretty good at it. Purely based on how meticulous he was at training and the way he thought about combining fighting styles.
To all y'all complaining about how Bruce's character is portrayed in this movie, did you also know that Rick Dalton didn't flamethrower one of the Manson killers also?
@@johnmarcey7176 where did he say this? apart from having an actor playing a fake version of bruce lee in a movie set in a fantasy 1960s/70s, where did Tarantino say that Bruce was like that?
Only in a fantasy as imaginary as Bruce Lee getting beaten up by a Stuntman, would such an ending be possible? So was Tarantino being pessimistic, and optimistic at the same time?
Nobody notices how after the car throw, literally every single background character disappears magically. The whole fight is the stuntman's fantasy. His own fairytale, with no crowd, if it even happened- the unreliable narrator, which is what makes this movie so layered, it's a fairytale fantasy people!
@@JamesAndrewsHI - Don't you just hate how stupid people are compared to you. You see through everything. Everyone is an imbicil compared to you. Jeeeezzzz.
In the novel Cliff HAD killed a guy in a fight & got away with it just like the other three people he'd killed..& thats not counting the legions of enemy soldiers he'd killed during WWII...
Maybe he may have been referring to himself since it was mentioned he killed his wife but i'm not sure on the part if he had a fight with her prior to killing her accidently ..
Please watch it. Do yourself the favor. And come back here and tell me what you thought. *Spoiler* I Guarantee you'll laugh your ass off multiple times.
I actually appreciate the background actor who's leaning on the car before the fight, demonstrating how he doesn’t know how to “act like he’s smoking a cigarette”. Watch him, he takes a non inhaled puff about once every 6 seconds. :)
I don’t think you understand how difficult it is to achieve a shot that has this much going on, and doesn’t cut for 4 minutes. Try to film something yourself and get a shot that is as choreographed as this.
This scene is just hilarious. Tarantino is a genius. And the fight is quiet good, should have lasted longer. It would have been interesting to see the winner.

In all the Other scenes in the movie Bruce Lee is acting like his real humble self
@@stroppy3245 I agree. That it's an embellished memory of Cliff's can be seen in the number of people who appear in the background before the fight scene starts, and a few moments later during the fight scene we see an empty background.
@@stroppy3245 Yeah, that's a realistic angle. It's a great scene, but still a likely exaggerated memory of Cliff's within a movie that reimagines history.
Exactly. They shouldn't fuk with Bruce legacy like that. He was untouchable, immovable and absolutely unbeatable. So they can Kik rocks and leave Bruce alone
@@leylandkennedy35 Not exactly true. He wasn't unbeatable, but every time he encountered adversity or saw weakness in his approach, he would adapt and completely redefine it. At first he had no idea how effective grappling could be until he encountered grapplers. That isn't to say he wasn't talented or fit, but he was human like any of us, and if he were brought to the present with no time to train or adapt to what we have learned in MMA, and had him fight MMA, even in his weight class, he would likely lose to many of the greats. However, it he did have time to learn and improve upon what we have learned, I have no doubt he would have make an amazing counter striker which could dominate multiple divisions.
Disregarding the movies, Bruce Lee's fight philosophy in real life focuses on minimal movement and risk, but maximum return, so this is a misrepresentation of the real Bruce.
It actually isn't Bruce's philosophy. It is a longstanding set of principles within the internal aspects of the Wu-Tong that has existed for thousands of years. Interestingly, Bruce's fighting style was all external methods and for the most part devoid of the real and profound internal principles of the Wu-Tong. A contradiction to be sure. He was an actor and a martial arts stylist, but not a fighter.
I just watched enter the dragon. The fist scene where his martial arts master was quizing him on fighting. All of his answers were basically about how he uses the least amount of movement and the opponent isn't really there.
He was supposedly very disrespectful to stunt people. He would tag them all the time even though scenes didn't call for it. Eventually he learned to respect them though.
He’s talking about a stunt coordinator who worked with Bruce. Yes, Bruce used to tag the stunt men but it wasn’t due to a lack of professionalism, that’s how they worked in Hong Kong. It’s a tale of 2 different cultures. In America, actors are pansies, they never do their own stunts. In Hong Kong, everyone did their own stunts back in the 60’s. Look at some of the stunts Michelle Yeoh did back in the day. The scene where she’s swinging off the side of a bus. That wasn’t even supposed to happen like that, she could have gotten seriously hurt, but that’s how they worked back then. Also look at Jackie Chan, he’s gotten seriously hurt with many of his stunts.
Why does no one remember that this is Cliff's recollection of Bruce. Why does no one remember Sharon's recollection of Bruce, which portrays him as a humble teacher?
Exactly. Everyone is complaining about how they portrayed Bruce lee as if they were best friends with him and no one is noticing the amazing cinematography going on here
The cinematography is indeed great - but even though this looks like one 4-minute shot, I suspect it may not have been in reality. It's fairly easy to stitch shots together now and make it look seamless. The new Sam Mendes movie, 1917, is two hours long but meant to look like a single shot all the way through. In this scene, there's a fairly quick camera pan at 2:33 - that looks like a stylistic choice, but it's also a popular way of disguising digital splices (also seen in other movies that boast 'long' takes, like Children of Men and Suicide Blonde). I'm not saying this wasn't all a single take - just that it may not have been.
A lot of people are really upset that Bruce Lee got his ass kicked in this scene, but remember, Brad Pitt's charactor is imagining the whole fight while repairing an antenna.
@@angelgryt9147 I thought so at first, but DiCaprio sends Pitt home to repair the antenna after telling him that the guy who is in charge is the 'guy from the Green Hornet" and there is no work for him. :)
@@nathaniel5151 Maybe you're right. Pitt has an other shirt when he sits in the golf kart. I thought it would have been funnier if he imagined the fight like "Yeah, I would totaly kick Bruce Lee's arrogant ass." And it would have made more sense with the editing.
stupidmclovin you can’t be objective, you’re being as subjective as they come. I think that the joke was alright. What now? Please stop being so aggressive, the man didn’t accuse you of being stupid, he just said you didn’t get it. Why retaliate so hard?

Either way you look at it though this portrayal of Bruce is very laudable at best, He was definitely cocking but he also had the skill and know how to back it up. I'm sure there were many people who could have challenged Bruce, however I dont think Bruce would have fought this way. He himself has even said he wouldnt ever get that fancy in a real fight. He would stress, how important simplicity is and how important it is to not waste energy. Bruce was a tactician, he wasnt just a fighter for show.

@@johnmatonne7834Ahaa. His own movies give other impression about him. Maybe I confused, because Tarantino is same person in his movies and in real life.
Bruce Lee did actually talk about what would happen if he fought Mohamad Ali. He said that even with all his skill, Mohamad Ali would make quick work of him because he was simply much larger with more strength and reach than Bruce Lee.
Of course that would make for a less entertaining movie scene, but it's worth noting that the real Bruce Lee, while he talked a big game, wasn't as arrogant as this version.
Yeah I've seen a lot of Bruce Lee interviews and he never comes off cocky --- usually a humble dude who knows he can't beat guys much bigger than him like Ali or even Kareem

@@vegetaintherain6354 Bruce lee:oh shit your re the actor who played in Godzilla costume
One key thing to remember about this scene:
This is Cliff’s recollection of events after remembering what Rick told him about the gaffer for Lancer being the same guy who did it for Green Hornet. So he’s just remembering Bruce a different way than others would.
Fun fact (with some parts to taken with a grain of salt) : Gene Lobell (the real life inspiration for cliff) was a legendary stuntman but also happened to be a martial arts master (judo and wrestling I believe. And is often regarded as a pioneer of the sports and was known in some areas as “the godfather of grappling” ).They brought him in as Bruce Lee reportedly had the habit of actually striking the stunt men as Bruce believed it wouldn’t look realistic otherwise and there was very few people with comparable skills so their answer was to bring Gene in. There was a small fight but Gene and Bruce quickly became friends and even taught each other some of their respective techniques, and trained together. They also Worked on some other projects together before Bruce died (green Hornet being one of them if I’m not mistaken)and at the end of the day they respected each other deeply.
I heard similar stories . I worked with some friends of mine in the Bay Area on a construction site. They had driven up from LA and one of them was a grip in Hollywood. He didn't say anything about Bruce Lee but he did mention that Jean Claude Van Dam was more of a dancer than a fighter. That was in the nineties. They drove up in a fire engine red sixties era Cadillac convertible with a giant set of steer horns mounted on the front. He said most actors were sort of spoiled brats.
I used to watch Gene Lobell on Black&White T.V. as a wrestler, back in the early 60's. Freddy Blassie, Kenji Shibuya, John Tolahs. Freddie would bite his opponents. Kenji would throw salt in their faces....lol.
Lee historian John Little, who had access to all of Bruce's written material and organized them for the Bruce Lee Library series, has debunked LeBell's claims. The friendly encounter to deal with Lee's injuring of the stuntmen never happened, since he came on mid-season and the stunt issues were resolved by the first episode between Bruce and the fight director, Bennie Dobbins, who became a good friend and appeared in sparring photos with him. As for Gene becoming a friend and teaching Bruce grappling, well, in all of the diaries and day planners and notes and letters he's gone through, Little has NEVER seen a single mention of Gene. NONE. And none of Bruce's students recall seeing him or hearing Bruce mention him. Plus, his description of the school as having tatami mats and smelling of incense is just plain wrong; there were bare concrete floors and zero incense.
What it boils down to is LeBell was a pro-wrestler at heart who loved to tell tall tales and put his character over. Nothing wrong with that as long as you know to take what he said with, as you said, a big grain of salt.
@@randalwung8715 John Little can't do damage to Lee's name either, the Lebell story wasn't just told by Lebell thus how it ended up in this movie.

This is actually a reversed parody of a real incident that occurred on the set of “enter the dragon”, where bruce lee supposedly stood up to a stuntman. But in the real story the stuntman was the loud-mouth, and bruce lee was brad pitt. This movie essentially reversed the roles. Edit: I realize there were multiple incidents which this could be based on, the most probable one being with Gene Lebell. I was referring to a different incident I had heard of where Bruce supposedly got frustrated with an actor that was not cooperating on set and put him in place.
Everything is reversed in this movie. The manson hippies in real life murdered a bunch of people but in the movie they get hilariously wrecked

@@Emlizardo muay thai is the most common and powerful martial art in MMA and your saying it wouldn't work against an untrained person?

Lee himself said that Alis big hands would break him compared to his small hands, Sure Ali could beat him in a ring, but on the street ali cant kick and there's no gloves, it would favor in bruce lee more. Also I cant find where your scene is when I search it up?, bruce lee was nice toward stuntman and a lot of former stuntman have said bruce never hit them and if he didn't he would apologise.
In real life Bruce Lee was pretty humble a lot of the time, if someone made fun of his stature or ability to fight others he probably wouldn’t care or be provoked by it.
That is very true. I think the claims about him being a fake fighter are 100% true but he was definately not this argumentative. If someone made fun of him he'd often just walk away and not make a scene. I get its a movie though and they are trying to parody his fake marketing of himself as this unstoppable fighting machine but the way they made his personality come across is very unfair on Mr. Lee.

You answered my question thanks.
It is taken out of context but he did work with gene labelle legendary stuntman/ judo badass who Bruce lee highly respected and later became a student of to learn grappling from and vice versa gene went to learn from Bruce.
This is the only thing we know gene labelle worked on green hornet as well.
And we know what gene labelle did to Steven seagal years later so if bruce acted up there's no doubt in my mind gene would of muddied the waters.

@@robsmith6650 yeah totally bro!
According to LeBell, Lee was a working stiff on the set of The Green Hornet but was kicking the shit out of the stuntmen. They couldn’t convince him that he could go easy and it would still look great on film. The show’s stunt coordinator, Bennie Dobbins, needed a ringer to deal with Lee, so he called in Judo Gene.
LeBell says when he got to the set, Dobbins told him to put Lee “in a headlock or something.”
So LeBell went up and grabbed Lee. “He started making all those noises that he became famous for,” LeBell said, “but he didn’t try to counter me, so I think he was more surprised than anything else.”
Then LeBell lifted Lee onto his back in what’s called a fireman’s carry and ran around the set with him.
“Put me down or I’ll kill you!” Lee screamed.
“I can’t put you down or you’ll kill me,” LeBell said, holding Lee there as long as he dared before putting him down, saying, “Hey, Bruce, don’t kill me. Just kidding, champ.”
Back on his feet again, Lee didn’t kill LeBell. Instead, Lee recognized that the lack of grappling was a deficiency in the Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts he was developing. So Lee trained with LeBell for a little over a year with LeBell showing Lee armbars, leg locks and takedowns, and Lee schooling LeBell in kung fu kicks.
After training with LeBell, Lee incorporated grappling moves into his film fighting. He finishes off Chuck Norris with a chokehold in Way of the Dragon (1972) and beats a young Sammo Hung with an armbar in Enter the Dragon (1973).

It’s funny. I remember reading a book about Bruce Lee in high school.

Let's be honest, Tarantino WANTED people to be angry about this scene
its called Once Upon a time in Hollywood. its not real
Tarantino's entire ''business model'' as a director is: ripping off older, better movies and creating some BS controversy in the media.
@Joe Dick Seriously? Every movie he releases has some BS controversy going on. Inglorious Basterds had some people whining around, because he supposedly ''made fun out of WWII, the Holocaust etc.''
Django Unchained, had Spike Lee getting his panties in a bunch, because they used the ''N''-word in a movie that took place during the old South/slavery-period.
Pretty much every other of his movies,is accused of ''glorifying violence & being sexist'' bla bla bla...
In reality, he's a hack, who can only rip-off older, better movies. ''Reservoir Dogs'' has main plotline & entire scenes,ripped-off from Ringo Lam's ''City on Fire'', just to name one example.
So, for this movie, he couldn't piss off the black community anymore (not in the current politically correct climate), so he he decided to piss off the Asians and turn Bruce Lee into a bad SNL skit.
@Joe Dick it’s clear Tarantino likes to pull legs. Common you don’t need to research about it.. it’s just common sense. That’s what makes him so cool
@Joe Dick he said in an interview that he personally knew Bruce Lee was arrogant and he said things that wouldn’t mean much like he could beat up Mohammad Ali and stuff. Tarantino made it clear that he is not all what he says he is. But this scene doesn’t say much since he created a character that could beat up Lee. So, whatever Bruce says before that.. all those things he brags that he is great about is just bragging that he often does as per Tarantino.
When both men looked concerned at the woman's freak-out over her car, I bursted into laughter on first watch! 😆🤣

The thing I have always liked about this scene and I hope people caught, is that him being able to fight Bruce Lee and hold his own giving a run for his money makes it much more believable in the ending when you see him physically dismantle 3 maniacs.
I honestly think that’s the entire point of this scene.
When he’s kicking the shit out of the Mansons in the back of your mind you’re like “well, of course, this guy held his own against Bruce Lee.”
yeah they had to set it up
Tarantino is a master director so he knew he needed a scene that proved that Cliff was a true bad ass who could take on the Manson family and take them out --- what better way than fighting and embarrassing the toughest guy in early 70's cinema like Bruce Lee?
That hippie trailer park scene scarred the fuck out of me. Anyone other man would have been gone immediately and called for help. But Cliff actually stayed and kept looking around. That could only have been done by a badass
From what I understand Jay Sebring who was there was trained by Bruce Lee. I know that being trained by someone is not the same as being able to kick their butt.
I watched the movie often, I have it DVR'd. I believe they had already made the point that he was tough. Of course they could have done other scene with somebody else. In the scene , the well trained dog helped considerably.
One thing you have to suspend belief on is that they would have even gone to Dalton's house to find a way around to Sharon's rather than just hopping the gate which is what they really did.

"he never fought once but he’s still recognized as a fighting icon"
I'm sure cardiologist never had a heart attack once to become a cardiologist. Why do you think that is?
@@gerjaison That's because you need to have a degree in Cardiology to be become a Cardiologist, not a heart attack. If Bruce Lee is a fighting icon then where are his fights? It's like saying Mike Tyson got recognized as a fighter
from his movies and and sparring videos, not from his ACTUAL fights. Bruce Lee, for me, is no other than a stuntman/actor/exhibitionist, not a fighter. Sry for bad eng.
@Terrell Bone there are literaly videos of him fighting and he is the founder of jeet kune doo
I think what a lot of people miss about this scene is that it's not supposed to be an accurate portrayal of Bruce Lee. Per the title of the movie, this is a deliberate parody of how *Hollywood saw* Bruce Lee. The other thing to keep in mind is that Cliff Booth is a fictional character (that Brad Pitt plays him does make it harder to remember this) and therefore can be as skilled a fighter as Tarantino chooses. Tarantino himself stated that while he didn't believe real-life Brue Lee would lose to Brad Pitt, Hollywood Lee *could* lose to Cliff Booth.
Exactly, just like Inglorious Bastards where they kill Hitler and most of the higher ups, it’s not real. We all know by now that Tarantino movies always do the opposite of what it was really like, Including the way Bruce is portrayed here.
I lived back in the day and trained in California. This is an accurate depiction of Bruce Lee. He didn't become a good guy or a "fighter" until after his death. Sorry guys
THANK YOU!!
LITERALLY the whole point of this is the "Fantasy Mind of Cliff Booth".

Because the right wing typically appeals to that crowd.

I didn't find it to be a satire on how fake Hollywood is. It was more of a celebration of old Hollywood and presenting a fairytale version of it where there was a happy ending rather than a tragic one.
But Tarantino himself said he thought Bruce was an arrogant loud mouth in real life...which is bullshit.

@@sleepman8575 Who said anything about Mike Tyson?
@@sleepman8575 Ali was a fake. He revealed this bitterly in not so many words in one interview I personally remember hearing. And if you watch closely you can see there is no way he could've dodged some of the punches he did, unless of course he was some kind of psychic predicting every move at a fraction of a second, from multiple angles. He couldn't have pulled it off even if THAT were the case because it's not human.
He had a loud mouth and a big personality and he could be extremely arrogant. That's what turned his handlers onto him and he let them control him to the end.
Bruce Lee was admittedly an actor, and even if Ali were the real deal, Bruce would have still kicked his ass in a real life fight. If Ali was so real, why did he let pro wrestlers put him on his ass? Guess you don't know about that whole part of his SHOW.
This was the funniest part of the whole movie, I absolutely love this part!!!
“Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter.”

Bruce lee would never do the same move over again, when the opponent asks him to. No sane person would, actually.

Omar Wardak Really? How do you know? You have footage of Bruce Lee actually fighting? Also no sane person would do the same thing over and over again, really?
Theory is one thing and an actual fight is a another. Many professionals have done the same thing over & over in a fight to no avail because it’s the technique their most confident with and they believe till the end they can land it as long as the opening presents itself.
What is for sure tho if Bruce Lee fought a modern martial artist he’d be nothing more than a stain on their shorts.
@@sonnyblack0870 even if bruce was to use the same move over again it def wont be a flying side kick. He knows its for show.
Bruce vs mma isnt much of a contest due to how far mma has come. Theres good reason to believe that if bruce learned mma, he would be pretty good at it. Purely based on how meticulous he was at training and the way he thought about combining fighting styles.

There a lot of cut LOL

I actually appreciate the background actor who's leaning on the car before the fight, demonstrating how he doesn’t know how to “act like he’s smoking a cigarette”. Watch him, he takes a non inhaled puff about once every 6 seconds. :)

I don’t think you understand how difficult it is to achieve a shot that has this much going on, and doesn’t cut for 4 minutes. Try to film something yourself and get a shot that is as choreographed as this.

A: Because Bruce Lee is no joke.
Quentin Tarantino: Hold my megaphone.
Exactly. They shouldn't fuk with Bruce legacy like that. He was untouchable, immovable and absolutely unbeatable. So they can Kik rocks and leave Bruce alone
bosslee35 That’s what the owners of the Bruce Lee “BRAND” want you to believe. Just my opinion 😎
@@leylandkennedy35 Not exactly true. He wasn't unbeatable, but every time he encountered adversity or saw weakness in his approach, he would adapt and completely redefine it. At first he had no idea how effective grappling could be until he encountered grapplers. That isn't to say he wasn't talented or fit, but he was human like any of us, and if he were brought to the present with no time to train or adapt to what we have learned in MMA, and had him fight MMA, even in his weight class, he would likely lose to many of the greats. However, it he did have time to learn and improve upon what we have learned, I have no doubt he would have make an amazing counter striker which could dominate multiple divisions.

My mom Say the same
Disregarding the movies, Bruce Lee's fight philosophy in real life focuses on minimal movement and risk, but maximum return, so this is a misrepresentation of the real Bruce.
Keep seething Chang. BTFO eternally by based Bradu Pittu
While, yes, this is a misrepresentation, it IS a memory from a fictional character - so that may have been like his interpretation.
To the highest Degree
It actually isn't Bruce's philosophy. It is a longstanding set of principles within the internal aspects of the Wu-Tong that has existed for thousands of years. Interestingly, Bruce's fighting style was all external methods and for the most part devoid of the real and profound internal principles of the Wu-Tong. A contradiction to be sure. He was an actor and a martial arts stylist, but not a fighter.
I just watched enter the dragon. The fist scene where his martial arts master was quizing him on fighting. All of his answers were basically about how he uses the least amount of movement and the opponent isn't really there.

Bruce wasn’t as arrogant as portrayed in this clip, especially disrespectful to other people.
He was supposedly very disrespectful to stunt people. He would tag them all the time even though scenes didn't call for it.
Eventually he learned to respect them though.
@@brianshaker1885 source? Because if anything it was usually someone in the stage crew who would challenge him
He’s talking about a stunt coordinator who worked with Bruce. Yes, Bruce used to tag the stunt men but it wasn’t due to a lack of professionalism, that’s how they worked in Hong Kong. It’s a tale of 2 different cultures. In America, actors are pansies, they never do their own stunts. In Hong Kong, everyone did their own stunts back in the 60’s. Look at some of the stunts Michelle Yeoh did back in the day. The scene where she’s swinging off the side of a bus. That wasn’t even supposed to happen like that, she could have gotten seriously hurt, but that’s how they worked back then. Also look at Jackie Chan, he’s gotten seriously hurt with many of his stunts.
Bruce aslında röportajlarında çok kendini beğenmiş gözüküyor. :)
That is 100% correct. Bruce Lee also was not some invincible fighter as a lot of guys like to portray him today.

Why does no one remember Sharon's recollection of Bruce, which portrays him as a humble teacher?

@Hongyi Duan But he means that this is seen through Cliff's eyes. So it is biased and inaccurate on purpose.
@Hongyi Duan lol...stop believing myths. He was plenty arrogant. Heard of Gene Lebel? Google it
Considering how easy he kills those assholes at the end I'm gonna go on the record and say bullshit times 10 but nice try.
Was Cliff a drug abuser or a drunk? Never seen this but his recollection is ass.
Let's just appreciate the fact that this 4-minutes-one-shot
Exactly. Everyone is complaining about how they portrayed Bruce lee as if they were best friends with him and no one is noticing the amazing cinematography going on here
The cinematography is indeed great - but even though this looks like one 4-minute shot, I suspect it may not have been in reality. It's fairly easy to stitch shots together now and make it look seamless. The new Sam Mendes movie, 1917, is two hours long but meant to look like a single shot all the way through.
In this scene, there's a fairly quick camera pan at 2:33 - that looks like a stylistic choice, but it's also a popular way of disguising digital splices (also seen in other movies that boast 'long' takes, like Children of Men and Suicide Blonde).
I'm not saying this wasn't all a single take - just that it may not have been.
