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

[andrewfujimura]

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

[jdemarco]

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

[TimKerman]

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

[franksantos]

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

Bruce Lee

Jackie Chan, himself, said Bruce was VERY concious of the idea of hitting someone and didn't like to do it, said Bruce was very apologetic about it.

Tarentino picks and chooses what he pays attention to. Tarentino has also invested SO much time in being this hardcore Hollywood rebel, it's tough for him to back off. He's always had this "I'll do it my way" attitude and his head has gotten bigger than his actual fame and skill.

nuff said?

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

[METAL-ADDICT]

He got Bruce mixed up with Steven Seagal.

[gladiatorsoul]

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

[FlipNasty]

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

[armaanpirouz]

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

[El_Bueno]

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

[baeshin]

Quentin said "Bruce didn't respect American stunt men and was always hitting them to make the fights look real". Half true. Here is the truth. Bruce had no problem with the American stunt men. People get tagged or hit during scenes. Not out of disrespect but to make the hits look real. They were not full force hits. It was the way they filmed in Hong Kong. I saw in interview with Cynthia Rothrock, and she spoke about the differences between American and Hong Kong stunt work.

It really came down to different styles of stunt work. Nothing to do with not respecting American stunt men.

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

[BenFroidevaux]

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

[lostboy]

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

[h.i.mcdunnough]

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

[TwinRabbitMan]

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

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