I lost all respect for Quentin Tarantino too after how he disrespected Bruce Lee and all of us Bruce Lee fans.

If Quentin Tarantino's one of the greatest film makers, it's no wonder the film industry is in trouble.

I used to like Quentin as a director before and I always had an abstract idea imagining if Bruce Lee were alive and made a movie directed by Tarantino, what a hit it would have become. But this was before all this happened. Now I’ve realized that he’s been nothing more than jealous of the Legend. And to be honest, since then every time I see his face my blood pressure raises up.

Always thought that Tarantino was a bit of a knob, but this seals the deal.

Hi Stripey a very thought provoking post. Its interesting to note that Bruce was hired as a fight choregrapher for the film ' A walk in the spring rain' starring Anthony Quinn and Ingrid Bergman. Bruce's student Stirling Siliphant wrote the screen play and was onset when he got word that the stuntmen didnt have a lot of confidence in this small chinese guy. So Stirling went to Bruce and suggested he showed them his side kick by the swimming pool. Well you can guess the rest. And two very wet hollywood stuntmen came out of that pool with absolute admiration for Bruce Lee. After that there was no issues with the fight scene , which by the way, is very nasty to a degree and very realistic looking.

This video has reminded me of a story I read years ago. In Adam West's book "Back To The Batcave. Adam West, My Story". As I remember it, he said that in the Batman/Green Hornet crossover episodes Bruce would go round kicking the cigarette out of Burt Ward's mouth and was teasing him a lot. I don't remember anything about hitting stunt men though. I just looked through my books about a dozen times and cannot find it, must have moved it on.

When Quentin said Enter the dragon was a POS after saying he was a big Bruce Lee fan I cracked up.

Sounds a lot like Tarantuno has mistaken Beuce for Steven Seagal he has a reputation for hurting stuntmen. What a clown making stories up to justify his piss poor portrayal Bruce. Great show mate 👍

For me it made the Once Upon A Time,,, line at the very end more potent. It was a story, a fairy tale, a fantasy character. In other words in reality nobody ever beat Bruce, nobody saved Sharon Tate and her friends or ever dealt with the Manson family right and proper.

I've always wondered why Tarantino never portrayed Chuck Norris in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. Norris also had a part in The Wrecking Crew with Sharon Tate besides Bruce Lee.

Great breakdown. Been waiting on this one for a while 👍

The single worst most misguided scene in Tarantino's film. He didn't even show the reality that Stirling Silliphant would describe when stuntmen refused to work with Bruce because he WAS a Chinese guy! Then Bruce had to give a physical demo and according to Silliphant, the stuntmen loved him. Tarantino knows all this or chose to ignore it. If the Lee family says you fucked up, you done fucked up.

Well very many of my fellow white people are on a crusade to prove that racism never existed. As well that any alleged instances of racism from white people are NOT racism yet they flip when they believe detect racism from anyone not white.

To people that have issues with depression, self image, or even narcissism, confidence looks like arrogance to them. I have no doubt that Tarantino interpreted Bruce's confidence internally as Bruce must have been a relentless jerk as a person. This is why he doesn't even address the real question, and instead goes on and on about who would win in different fight scenarios. He doesn't recognize that portraying Bruce as an arrogant jerk is a problem, he thinks people are complaining that Bruce "lost" or "got tricked" in his movie. In his mind of course Bruce was a bully and a prick.....because if Tarantino himself was a strong great man that is exactly how he would act. I personally found it as a tasteless stain on an otherwise pretty good film.

Spot on Sir!!! Thanks for covering this topic!

Quentin could have simply said that like the whole film, the portrayal of Bruce was a fantasy, there to establish Cliff’s bonafides. Rather than ‘the names have been changed to protect the innocent’ it was more ‘the names are accurate, but the characteristics and events have been changed to protect the narrative’. Still not keen on the scene, but emphasising the point that the whole film exists in the real world but in an alternate reality would have at least made more sense than getting into how/why who won what fall.

Bruce is the best his an icon.we shouldn't worry about idiots

I like both of them and didn't have a problem with the film UNTIL Bruce's daughter mentioned her father fought so much racism to establish himself. Even Quentin didn't respond to that. He added the caveat that friends and family can say something but everyone else can't

Shannon Lee should sue Tarantino for the Kill Bill yellow and black tracksuit use plus some of the Bruce Lee rip off scenes.

I find it funny that people are skeptical of what Lebell said yet totally embrace what Jim Kelly said even though he was extremely vague and couldnt name anyone to support his claims. Not sure why you think Bruce didnt understand cameras when he had made so many films before Green Hornet.

I agree with what you said. Thank you.

Quentin, a fan of Hong Kong cinema, just didn't understand why he did it

I have always wondered why the only photos of Gene Lebell with Bruce are from the moments they shared on screen like in Ironside. There are countless photos of Bruce with Chuck Norris, Joon Ree, Ed Parker, etc.

I think Gene is an interesting fellow and all things considered has been more respectful other then an occasional bruised ego comment. However, he didn't mind working with Brandon Lee on Rapid Fire (The Crowe is coming to 4K wooo hoooo!!!!!!).

Firstly I've never watched a Tarantino film and now I never will , I saw the clip with Bruce and Brad, well I hated it and the way Bruce was portrayed was very disrespectful. Bruce is not here to defend himself. I've read enough books on Bruce to know he most certainly did not behave this way. My thoughts on Tarantino, a complete ass## basically. He clearly doesn't know anything about Bruce and for him to say suck a #&@ to everyone just shows the contempt the man has! I don't think I need to say anymore. Just my personal opinion.

I wouldn't worry about it. The movie's almost been forgotten already. The whole Bruce Lee legend, fact, fiction, everything - is just too big. They'll all be long forgotten while Bruce Lee is still inspiring people.

Another great video Stripes…Here’s my take… for those born in the 1960’s amongst race riots etc… apart from Ali there were no real non white heroes… everyone from John Wayne, Bond and Eastwood were the heroes standard of mainstream cinema and culture… Then one day Bruce Lee turns up … he then proceeded not only to out skill , out perform but kill Americas ‘best’ that being Chuck Norris in Way of the dragon. This of course was a win on some sociological level for the non white , but a humiliating Defeat for our white brothers. I think many Americans from that era never really recovered and had/ have a slight grudge as far a celluloid imagery is concerned. I think that’s the basis of Tarantino gripe and by extension a cathartic self redemption regarding his ridiculously silly portrayal of Bruce Lee. Personally, it’s only a film that I couldn’t be bothered to watch. Tho I do like most of Tarantinos work… but OUATIH looks too self indulgent. But it’s his disrespect , disingenuous and ultracrepidarian statements that are of issue…

Well said Stripey. Glad you did this vid highlighting those things.

I was a brazilian jiu jitsu fanatic for many years, training at MMA schools that are now famous, with coaches who were later coaches of UFC champions - and I was tossed around in sparring by ranked MMA and grappling pros. One day i went to check out a private school of a "Jeet Kun Do" teacher, run by a tiny chinese-canadian man. Although a kindly gentleman, he manhandled me worse than any MMA fighter had done. Turned out that he was a student of 2 of Bruce Lee's Seattle students (now both passed). Bruce Lee was the real deal.

He's more of a Sonny Chiba fan-for somebody who's into Asian Cinema big time-I was also wondering why the hostility on THE DRAGON...

This was the 60s. Bruce was a small, slight bulit, unknown Chinese man. Tv Roles for Chinese were stereotypical crxp, that's all there was. Do you think Bruce would have to earn the stunt mens respect or was it just handed to him. You bet he would have to warn there respect. But not in the way Tarantino foolishly, and ignorantly depicts. Anyone that worked with Bruce will tell you the opposite. Tarantinos ego won't allow him to admit his error. Plain and simple.

these are good videos when it comes to Bruce Lee 👍 Clearly, Tarantino has no idea what he's talking about, he made it up on his own 🤦🏼‍♂️ Bruce Lee is the GOAT 💪🏻

Quentin completely off here. His research is poor. I’m delved deep into this subject of Bruce and his work on the Green Hornet. Absolute nonsense from Quentin.

It's easy to talk shit about people who can't respond, Quentin!

Besides quentin is another one to visit the ep island

Maybe if Bruce realized how much he was underpaid being an "Asian" actor,in the Green Hornet in Matthew Polly 's book,then maybe Bruce could have roughed the stuntmen up exacting some kind of revenge. But Bruce didn't realize that and even then, he wouldn't have put that role or any other future collaboration with Hollywood in jeapordy by beating up stuntmen. He had his first opportunity here and hoped to acquire many more. But as the story is known Bruce stood no chance at that time in Hollywood for a leading role in any film because of his ethnicity. Only after making it big in Asian movies did he get his one and only chance in Hollywood unfortunately

Yeah , must admit I lost a little bit for QT after Once upon a time.. and his following comments about Bruce, speaking of bruceploitation , have you watched Finishing the Game by Justin Lin, really good mockumentary and highlights the hilarity that ensued to try to replace Bruce , all fictional of course, but probably not too far from the truth!

It is well documented the fact that Bruce Lee was near sighted, which would probably account for the unintentional strikes the stuntmen received. But with respects to the actual craft can it not be said that goes with the territory. When filming a car crash does not the director production crew and the stuntman prepare if not anticipate something going wrong while filming?

Wrath of the Dragon by John Little

I heard Bruce Lee would buy the stuntmen from the Green Hornet lunch to apologize to them for hitting them while filming. Bruce didn't mean to hit them. Although he was a child actor he was new to actually fighting on screen so he wasn't sure how to make it look real yet. He also accidently hit Jackie Chan before while filming Enter The Dragon and Jackie Chan said Bruce ran up to him to see if he was ok and would keep apologize to him while hugging him. Now tell me do that sound anything like how Quentin tried to portray Bruce Lee as?

The movie would’ve been a whole lot better if Bruce Lee would have taught Cliff how to fight.

I love Tarantino’s films. The best aspects of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood are the performances by Margaret Robbie, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. The storytelling isn’t as tight as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 1&2, etc. That said, Mike Moh as Bruce Lee was actually good. He is given horrible material to play Bruce Lee with. Imagine a film that portrays Bruce Lee in a realistic honest manner that shows the depth of his overall being, including his flaws. The portrayal in Once Upon A Time, is stereotypical and fraught with an inexplicable distaste for Bruce Lee. I never saw the point of this, considering the respect Steve McQueen’s portrayal and Sharon Tate are in this Tarantino film. Looking forward to your upcoming rambles.

Also Jean Labelle was not the stunt coordinator look it up

He's so lucky that if Bruce is still alive , Quentin will be eating his food in a straw . Totally disrespectful.

Again another person here who had great enjoyment of most Tarantino movies, but he really shot himself in the foot with that scene in OUATIH, surely his test-screenings must have given feedback that there was potential there for a larger problem, he must have made up his own mind to double-down and stick to his guns, rather than doing a reshoot. It feels like he has written out an entire monologue to try and get himself out of this situation, but the damage is done now and he’s lost a lot of credibility and respect, It’s quite unique in that a Director is wholly responsible for such a bad decision, and so close to the end of his career 😅 Great Video as usual Stripey, all of your opinions are spot-on 👍

Excellent post. It is clear that Tarantino was disrespectful to the memory of Bruce Lee and his family. I don't know what Tarantino's problem is with Bruce Lee, but at the very least it's jealousy or maybe even racism. Tarantino, who said he was a fan of Bruce Lee, stated that he preferred the films of his imitators such as Bruce Le, Bruce Li, Dragon Lee or Bruce Lai. In this preference he already surrenders and reveals his denial of the natural talent and success of the king of kung fu. His fantasy in which the fictional stuntman, born killer and lethal world war soldier would surprise young Bruce Lee and easily defeat him on set was awesome. It seems that Tarantino superficially studied Bruce Lee and collected some dubious opinions to construct this bizarre scene in which Bruce Lee is completely and intentionally ridiculed (in a choreography that Bruce himself would not approve of) with the clear objective of deconstructing his hard-earned image and work that has been maintained for more than half a century. This statement that “Bruce Lee didn’t respect American stuntmen” is completely absurd. In fact, I have noticed a possible Little Dragon defamation campaign on social media for some time. But as I've already noted, if Lee were alive today, even at age 84, ill-intentioned opportunists like Quentin Tarantino wouldn't have the courage to defame him to his face. Luckily for these defamers, not even Brandon Lee is present to defend his father's honor. Then there are the true and loyal fans left.

I bet Tarantino watched "Fist of Fear, Touch of Death" at some grindhouse in 1980 and thought it was a legit documentary.

Who cares in 50 years people will still know who is Bruce Lee.

Tarantino movies are not up to standards. After seeing the two kill bill movies that’s it for me. He called Bruce Shannon’s f,n father and that other guy thought that was funny. I can believe I even wasted time watching this weird interview. Makes me want to research who this Tarantino guy is and what his background is cause I never heard of him before. Why don’t they just leave master Bruce Rest In Peace? Hollywood ignored him when he could have made billions for them, now you get all these jokers coming out of no where and spewing all kinds of shit about him when they probably never even took a martial arts class of any sort in their lives and haven’t got a clue to what they are talking about. I think Pierre Berton was the best interviewer that there ever was and he gave Bruce the proper respect and courtesy in the lost interview that all these other guys could not.

Thank you so much. This will never be a habit. This is two people feeling strongly about what happened. It was like a gut punch to me for Bruce Lee that I looked up to growing up. Cheers!!

I was especially offended when Tarantino casually asserts that Bruce had no respect for American stuntmen with zero evidence. Can you imagine the hurdles and prejudice Bruce must have faced in Hollywood? Do you think any union stuntman would have taken him seriously? The resentment from the stunt community towards Bruce must have been incredible. Bruce eventually achieved legendary status in world pop culture but I'm sure he fought ten times harder for every victory won towards achieving his dream. Tarantino needs to lay off the pot and re-think this.

Tarantino there's a sick man. Crouching director hidden racist

It has been said that every artist has, at least, one work of genius in them....if they're lucky, they have two! In my opinion Tarantino had his genius with 'Reservoir' and 'Pulp'...the rest are ok. But HE'S swallowed his own hype. Bruce was an innovator....he was a just beginning when he died! Tarantino has done 20 years of pastiche and tribute. If Tarantino can't treat Bruce's memory with respect, HE can go suck a dick! Good video 💯

I'm pretty much in total agreement with you here, Stripey, Quentin was just making shit up, pretending he has "insider knowledge" the rest of us aren't privy to. Like you said, who, aside from Quentin, ever said Bruce Lee hated/ disrespected American stuntmen? Who was Quentin quoting? He could've just said "hey, it's a fictional story of a real person, nothing to get your panties in a bunch over", but no, Quentin had to double down & insist Bruce actually was an asshole. According to whom, Quentin? Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Gene LeBell, he was a legendary figure in American martial arts, legit tough guy by all accounts but ... also a story teller, prone, I think, to embellishment for the sake of entertainment.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie I wasn't a fan of the Bruce scenes but I took it as the title says it's a fairy tale .tarantino comes across as an arrogant prick in this interview he's spouted garbage concerning bruce.im a fan of tarantinos movies all the way back to Reservoir Dogs still am . excellent video as usual mate

Cheers, mate. I love his movies too, I often have a rewatch of his films, and I obviously understand it's a fairytale...But Bruce has a legacy and our generation apprecites that, but Joe Rogan has a huge platform & Tarantino badmouthing Bruce could harm Bruce Lee's name to a younger audience (that bothers me). I'd love Joe Rogan to have Matt Polly & John Little on his show to correct the bulls**t. Cheers mate 👍

I liked the movie once upon a time in Hollywood but I do agree he kinda made Bruce Lee look silly and Bruce Lee was never silly, I took him as a serious Martial Artist, thanks Great Video as always

TBH , QT movies were Ok but to call them " great " is a bit of an overstatement

For me, his first five movies were amazing, but it's subjective I guess 👍

Hi Stripey and hope you are well too. As per my previous comments on your youtube channel, everyone is entitled to their opinions, as long as they are respectful to others. Tarantino is very much opinionated and there is nothing wrong with that but lacks the respect given to other peoples thoughts and opinions, he unfortunately has a bigger platform than most of us. Agree, too many YES men around him and he's not the only diva in that industry. It could be marketing and made people want to watch it and discuss it so well done him. I for one are not a fan of his movies to be honest, I consider myself a massive film fan, have been since I was a small kid and apart for the Film, from Dusk til Dawn ( Directed by Robert Rodriguez ) his pal and written by Tarantino and Robert Kurtzman) and include Kill Bill 1 & 2 I genuinely don't think the others are anything to write home about! and that's my opinion... I have watched various interviews with the man and it's not the first time he's been rude or walked out on interviews when he gets uncomfortable with certain questions but it's OK for him to fire his opinions on everyone else, at the end of the day he wont be bothered about us mere mortals as he states, everyone can go F**k a D**k...........Keep up the Great work, It is very much appreciated.......One more thing you pointed out regarding some of his movies, his homage ( Rip Off ) to certain scenes ( Kill Bill is a perfect example ) What would Bruce think of this copycat?...in his very own words.....Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own and A quick Temper will make a fool of you soon enough.....Bruce will be Laughing for sure...👍
