I have researched serial Bullsh*ter Tarantino' story. Too many articles are saying that "Clif Boothe" was based on Burt Reynolds stunt double and friend "Hal Needham" who was a Korean War Veteran and real bad ass. I read an article about Gene LeBell being brought in to teach Bruce Lee how to make fights look real because Bruce didn't think the fights looked real on film. LeBell was horsing around with Lee and picked Lee up above his shoulders and ran around the set with Bruce on his shoulders. There were hollow threats made by both men but there was never a fight like Tarantino claims there was. I believe Tarantino changed who Clif Boothe was based on because Hal Needham wasn't a martial artist and people where pissed off of Tarantino's bullsh*t story so he changed it to Gene LeBell to save face even though that was another lie.
I feel Very, very, very sad 😥 4 Quentin Tarantino 😪 I suspected it from afar but now, I AM convinced , Tarantino is from🌈 LA LA LAND 🌃🌠 The place where Fiction is Reality & Reality is Fiction!!! Will someone PLEASE tell Tarantino QUIT IT!!! ( in reference to part of his name) Poor Sharon Stone & her friends was actually killed 😢, The Manson kids..Did-Not-Go-To-Rick Dalton's-🏡-&-faced-Cliff-Dary🐕-&-Rick's-flame-thrower as U So self-delusionally put it on film 🎥!! That film in itself should tell 1 ALL ABOUT 🤯 Quentin" QUIT IT "Tarantino🤯
Goldenbell, about Bruce Li , he's been vilified so much threw out the yrs 4 being a "Bruce Lee " imitator!! In those days, it's considered a great boost 4 a young actor's career 2 be mentioned in the breathe as Bruce Lee. Bruce Li was the best because HE looked like Bruce & he studied Wing Chun just as Bruce had. Mr. Hung ( part of Li's name) studied Tae Kwon Do also so his kicks can compensate Lee's kicks. As a matter of fact just like Dan Insanato ( who Li worked with in later films 🎥) Li became a more Authority on WC than Lee himself. Is good ,bad or indifferent?? NO!! It means Lee's life span was cut shorter than Li's that's all!! Bruce Li took 🕤 to train & understand JKD WITH Dan Insanato which BETTER than other Bruce exportations actors most notoriously Bruce Le & Dragon Lee. Le had that lean muscle shredded"Enter the Dragon" look & Dragon was 5 ft short who needed a better fight choreographer! BOTH Divas was 2 of the Clones of Bruce Lee
Goldenbell? Quit It ( instead of Quentin) Tarantino tells our fellow Bruce Lee fans to go suck a dick 😒!! Who knows that better than an ASSHOLE??( Q.T.) There was a better way to promote & publicise this fictional story based on actual events!! All Quit It had to do is say " It's art imitating life!" Giving fans a "What If The Manson kids went to the 🏡 of the 📺 action 🌟s ,fictional character Rick Dalton." Dalton actually, unwittingly saved the lives of the pregnant Sharon Tate & others by ordering the kids to get the bucket of bolts 🚗 out of the area!! THAT redirected the attention from The Roman Pawlowski home ( & wife Sharon) to Dalton's 🏡 where we know what happened there.
@@edtheoldtechguy bruce lee was overrated?? Lmfao what a load of BS! Bruce lee knew something that barely anyone knew... his speed was the result of true body mastery! Bruce showed us the true potential of martial arts... they dont get it
Exactly, easy to talk great about a guy who is no longer here. Once they die they all become legends. They're hyped up by the media. A product of the media. I too always thought that Bruce Lee's overrated same as Bob Marley as the greatest reggae artist. Why because the media says so or because other people say so? I chose who to like
@@kennethrussell1158 Tarantino is a good director, but he is not this so called genius that some people make him out to be. All that he does is steal ideas from cult movies that most people have never heard of. Have you heard of an old Hong Kong movie called ''City On Fire''? Compare that to ''Reservoir Dogs'' and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Quentin Tarantino is a complete idiot, I like to see him say to that when Bruce Lee was alive in front of his face, Tarantino would be running away and crying like a little girl, and I don't think Tarantino's movies are that good either he's not that great of a movie maker or director, rock on Bruce Lee you will always be number one,
Quentin Tarantino, it's just an untalented frustrated director that copies , other directors in good actors work, and takes credit for it, and I think , his bad looks, make him frustrated too, pay no attention to him people, 🙊🙈🙉
@@edwardfournier676 I wouldn't say that he is untalented, but he is certainly a thief. I just wish that more people were aware of the other movies that he takes his ideas from like the original Italian Western ''Django'' from 1966. It has a cool opening sequence and the theme song fits better with this film.
@@Alex.R.O.P Bruce inspired generations. He captured the imagination of millions from all ends of the world. In his 30 years he lived more lifetimes than most people alive
I've always felt that Tarantino is overrated. Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown were good movies... But I wouldn't call them all time greats, and his other movies? Meh.... Havent seen Hateful Eight though
I've never understood why people were always crazy about his movies. His movies are just style no substance, he just pick his favourite 70s movies and mash them together.
It's easy to talk bad about a person that's not around to defend himself, but one thing I do know is that Bruce Lee never talked bad about anyone, he's not only a Master of martial arts, but a Master in humanity.
How was he a master in humanity? what did he do for humanity? He cared for his own self image and was obsessed with fighters and fighting. And when you say a master in martial arts, who did he really fight? any footage or videos? He didn't invent boxing or wrestling. Although he said that traditional Chinese fighting styles such as Kung Fu and Wing Chun were NOT EFFECTIVE. And he realized that most fights end up in punching , kicking and wrestling. But when you say humanity, please explain.
@@standforhumanitariancauses4756 here's him shaming a former champ with his speed. Everyone wants proof but too lazy to look for themselves m.ua-cam.com/video/3HUOuZEXD9M/v-deo.html
Bruce Lee is “overrated” yet Quentin used his iconic black and yellow jumpsuit for Kill Bill to represent his martial arts movie 😂 His hate is weird, like WTF did Bruce ever do to him? Bruce Lee innovated cinema forever, Quentin copies a lot of movies for his movies.
There's your answer. Something happened between Kill Bill and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Something that made him go from dressing a lead character in a costume made famous by Lee, to all the sly little digs he's been taking at him. Imma go out on a limb and guess that maybe someone from Lee's estate contacted him about maybe getting some royalties, or maybe there was some copyright claim made. Something sure fliipped his bitch switch on the subject
Or maybe qt just has misplaced anger stemming from his “daddy” issues the loathsome sick prick should really seek professional help and treatment once and for all.
Iconic black & yellow jumpsuit from the weakest of Bruce Lee's movies (weak in a sense he didn't get a chance to finish it vs what was cobbled together & presented as a Bruce Lee movie)
You can have many imitators but there was only one bruce lee. his speed, his power, and his screen presence was and 50 years later still is unmatched. and the fact that 50 yrs after his death his name is still spoken of in the context that it is is legendary
Why is jeet kune do not used in the ufc? Because its choreographed dancing. Sold to western idiots and they lapped it up. So much so that the idiots still believe they are literally karate kid. Your hero is a hero in marketing and dancing. He even said himself the best form of fighting is an aggressive boxer moving forward
The problem with people like Tarantino is that they've been hearing how amazing they are for so long that they think they can't be criticized. I still enjoy his films, but I find him to be arrogant and a bit overrated.
I feel like what is a bizarre hater for Bruce Lee FILMS is being misdirected as a bizarre hatred for Bruce Lee Bruce Lee became so big that he is much more than his films he is a martial artist a beacon for an entire country and actor a stuntman and one of the best hand-to-hand combatants in human history... I believe Tarantino's opinion of his videos is not his opinion of Bruce Lee as a whole and I do not share tarantinos opinion but I believe that Tarantino is in a professional position to have this opinion if anyone is... Also his movies are exactly is overrated as he believes Bruce Lee's are
Having finished the video I'm more firmly convinced that Quentin Tarantino was threatened on a career level because of Bruce Lee's brilliance and is just being the worst kind of person about expressing that
I don’t think Bruce was overrated at all actually I think quite the opposite. He was so ahead of his time that not many people really truly understood Bruce and his style. Going back and listening to him speak about not just mastering one style but mastering all, basically modern day mma. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup ~ Bruce Lee.
MMA philosophy exisited in China and Japan long before him, but he brought all this to the forefront and to the western public eye. All he said in his book tao of jeet Kune do is an amalgamation and synthesis of those traditional ideas, from which he made his own style. He says it so himself. And he was also an extremely talented martial artist. Anybody who saw real life footage of the demonstrations he participated in knows that. Tarentino looks like an old guy who never did any kind of sport in his life and certainly has no idea whatsoever about martial arts. Good director but he should stick to his field.
@@metube1744 Bruce was a pioneer in mixing. Everyone back then was so rigid and prideful with their styles. If you adjusted a style they would punish you for it.
Yes he said alot about mixing martial arts. But what happens when a person learns too many then ends up mediocre and not excelling in anything. Like grappling, punching, counters, etc. ? I would really like to explore this topic in depth as I find it very interesting. Does one focus on a single martial art like Muay Thai or jujitsu and spend many years to become an expert at it? How many martial arts should you learn? Does a person learn to be good enough at one thing and then add to their style 1 by 1? What is considered as being good enough that you decide to explore something else to plug the weaknesses that your main style has?
@@SuperKendoman mma has shown the appropriate mixture. Jiu-jitsu jistsu and Thai boxing or Wrestling w western boxing have shown time and again that they are the best combinations.
I never realised how far ahead Lee was until I studied his training regime and philosophy. He was at least 30 years ahead of everyone else. People trained hybrid arts but taking pieces of many different arts in what we know as MMA wasn't really done until the early 2000s. Even in UFC they didn't really figure it out until BJJ was beating everyone, then people started to analyse a lot of arts. He was doing full contact with gloves and mitts when no one was, he was doing weights for martial arts when no one was, he was incorporating grappling and ground fighting when no one was , he incorporated movement from dancing and fencing when no one was. Sure he didn't have an amazing fight record but his training, his philosophy of just using what worked was very impressive.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter that he couldn’t win fights. As a white liberal, I respect that he was Asian and had a good philosophy. When another white person has an opinion that goes against my pc script, I double down and stick up for my minority pets.
Stop bro. Relax. Fighting is fighting and can end up anywhere. Don't act like this nigga was the first tonfight only because he starred in a couple movies. 🤣 it's like me Beliveing Clint Eastwood was the first to be a beast with a 6 shooter. Bruce Lee fans completely oblivious.
I feel Bruce Lee Fans & Bruce Lee Haters are both sides of the same coin. One side props him up as a total god who can beat any pro MMA fighter, & the others believe he's a fraud and only uses their surface-level knowledge of his movies to support that belief. But like you and I have, we've actually taken time to read his writings in order to understand him further. His books weren't bad and the concepts he had to offer were still valuable. He learned a lot from other martial arts & professional fighters. TheWeasel had a good, unbiased analysis of Bruce. He appraised Bruce's use of the sidekick to the knee - what Bruce called the "longest weapon to the closest target" - which has seen use in the UFC by Jon Jones' camp. Bruce fought _very_ differently from his movies. But, Weasel also admitted that his sparring partner was too inexperienced to accurately gauge Bruce's skills. And how Bruce's use of a vertical fist could be difficult against a mobile opponent. I think anybody can gain benefit from studying Bruce. But both the deification & defamation of his name only serves to prevent people from learning something truly valuable from the man.
Dude MMA was a thing before Bruce. Just Americans had 0 knowledge about it = does not look flashy on Hollywood screens. People who actually introduced MMA to Americans were practicing it before Bruce was even born... The guy was an awesome philosopher tho and should be respected his mindset.
Let's face it Tarantino can't effect how people feel about Bruce. He can't make lee look small or silly or whatever. But it's once upon a time in Hollywood so it's make believe. The clue is in the title
It’s so funny cause that’s exactly what I think of Quentin Tarantino. And actually I remember seeing some Bruce Lee footage on UA-cam and it blew my mind he was even better than I thought when I was a kid.
I’ll never forget what Jackie Chan said during I think his it support interview, someone asked who would win between him and Bruce, and his response he said was: let Bruce win. To me that was him respecting everything Bruce has done for the industry and saying the debate is tired, have respect for the dead. That’s how I interpreted his response anyway and I think it’s a good stance to take
he said let bruce win? hahaha jackie wouldnt have had any choice for Bruce would have killed him. Jackie learnt martial arts for the circus and drama. it was like a specific high school that catered for entertainment. so did the likes of samo hung study and train at the same place. bruce wasnt trained in martial art dramatics he trained in real world martial arts so he could defend himself in real life situations.
Tarantino wouldn't know how Sifu Bruce really fought or real JKD if Sifu Bruce hit him with a one in three inch punch. Tarantino lost credibility with me big time.
Quit it Tarantino is a narcissistic geek who speaks with his emotions more than speaking with a 🧠!

Quentin made the guise of a comedy to in fact display his disdain for an Asian legend who is dead. If he had any authenticity to himself as a person, he would have told all this when Lee was alive. I mean Bruce Lee is a legend and a great man, no amount of slandering by a joker out of his jealousy will change that. 👏🔥

Ironically enough, right before I watched this video, I finished watching a UA-cam video where someone showed that "Kill Bill" was made to avenge Bruce Lee for the mistreatment he received in Hollywood and to celebrate his life and artistry. I have to say, you both made some really great points in each of your videos.
That's wierd considering Bruce Lee lost out a job in Hollywood for I believe the show kung-fu, which David Carradine started in, who also happens to be the protagonist in kill Bill. If anything it could be another jab from Tarantino
He is without doubt a legendary icon, but he is viewed by many as the greatest fighter that ever lived, when he has no notable fights, and that makes him overrated
@@adanmalik3697 Unsolicited? Wow, you really are stupid. This is a comments section: I don't need to be invited to leave a comment. Not everyone can handle the truth?

Bruce Lee has inspired millions of people to learn a marshal art . Me being 1 of them. I bet that's why you're here watching this video . He was the original and will always be my favourite , the speed , the moves , the legend . R.I.P. 🙏
I was one of his students in Oakland. I miss the guy and his inspiration. He was so real, so full of life, so dedicated. He loved to teach. He loved his students. It was a real time, real life, real youth. Time passed, and he was gone from my life forever. But he and everyone around him really lived then. Right at the top. Thank you George Lee for caring about me, and showing me the way, and introducing me to the master.
@@Survivor-ng4te George Lee was a good friend of Bruce's and the man who made all of Bruce's custom workout equipment. Bruce called him 'the master maker'. George passed away in 2013.
Has he said anything about Muhammad Ali or Mike Tyson? I doubt it . Because Ali and Tyson were real fighters and the entire world has seen them fight known fighters. Any videos or evidence from Bruce Lee fights???
the fact this whole video and comment section being based of a lie is staggering. QT never said Bruce Lee was overrated. A more accurate title would be "why i think Tarantino thinks Bruce Lee is overrated"
Tarantino has been living for the past 30 years in a world where no one tells him no. He's full of himself and a prick. That's reality, he calls Lee arrogant in the inverview, but Tarantino needs to look in the mirror.
@@david-pb4bi At least Tarantino made some movies. Bruce Lee never been in a fight, it's impossible for one to say how good as a fighter he really was. Yet people pretend they know he waa the best, if that's not overrated then id k what is
@@meciocio I don’t understand what that has got todo with it? I could probably take Bruce Lee in a fight but we are talking about films and Tarantino has not made a good film Bruce Lee has been in a few very good iconic films.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I always idolized Bruce Lee. For me, the UFC dispelled a lot of myths about fighting and martial arts. Was Bruce Lee a great martial artist? Absolutely. His technique and speed were incredible. Does that translate to real fighting like the UFC? In my opinion, yes and no. However, the fact that he was imitated so much and his name is synonymous with martial arts makes him a true legend. Also, I would not want fight him🙂. Rest In peace Mr. Lee.
Comparing Bruce Lee to today's UFC champions is like comparing Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton to Stephen Hawking and other Nobel winners, the knowledge possessed by modern scientists far surpasses that of Galilei, Newton or Kepler, but if it wasn't for them modern science wouldn't exist at all. The same goes for Bruce Lee, modern fighters can very well be better than him, but if it wasn't for him the very concept of MMA wouldn't even exist.
@GENETIC BEAST depends on which martial art lmao, I guess that you work out and think that you can beat anyone up, but at the same time you’re to scared to hit a boxing, MMA or muay thai gym to sparr because you know you’ll get beated up
I have a unique perspective on this situation. I grew up in L.A. and one of my buddies was a student of Jim Kelly's(From Enter the Dragon). Jim Kelly had a Martial Arts school down near the Crenshaw area of L.A.. We asked Jim what he thought of Bruce Lee as a Martial Artist and he told us that no one at that time was his equal. Jim was a guy that watched Bruce spar with all of the greats from that time period. Tarantino needs to stick to Producing Movies.
Not what I heard from people who know people who were at the WJM challenge match. And from the San Francisco Chinatown CMA community. Nor is what I believe. Based off of what he did after the WJM challenge match and based off his temperament. It's actually very simple to figure out who's telling the truth. Do this: Without telling them why, ask serval people who are actual fighters about temper and control of emotions. Ask them if someone who can't control their temper can make it MMA, boxing or any professional or even amateur league or tournament.
Tarantino's movies are absolute sh!t and he is frankly an OVERRATED movie producer with even sh!ttier values. Fvck that guy. I'm NOT even a Bruce Lee fan, but ALL the people that bad mouth Bruce Lee are, without exception, the sh!ttiest people you could ever come across. It's like a personality litmus test.
It's easy. You can watch QT's movies when you are a teenager, you may find some still interesting when you border a certain age, but from then on, his violence and general approach drifts away from any personal evolution that might happen. There is just nothing behind the stories QT tells. In change, you can age with Bruce Lee. You will always find him inspirational when you need assistance most. It is not about the movies, it is about the man. He can fill any void at any time, and not because of violence, but because of genuine wisdom he spread, generosity and hard working character he was. Obviously, he was a problem in many eyes. QT is just one of these guys that instinctively feel overwhelmed and as any kings without clothes, he prefers to attack to disguise his nudity. Kind regards, M.
it's not unnecessary pretentious and doesn't waste time drilling pointless messages. after a point your adult life, you just become immune to inspirational and stupidly deep movies, because you don't have the patience for that crap in your busy life. Tarantino movies actually provide a perfect escape to just thay
@@nrnjn8547lmao there is much better escapes then the wierdness in violence and the crazy hard to relate to unrealistic trash put out by QT. That being said, I think Quentin succeeded so well because he is smart and found a niche that is different. Hey if it works why change, but if it gets you off then let the garbage pile; pile up in your gray matter. I don't dislike QT at all other than his beef with Bruce. Just don't like his film-making. Like NR said it's typically younger people or those that were young when he started and the MATURE mind will normally move away from such pointless "entertainment" I don't know what your talking about.

And you aren’t trusting “literally every single person who knew Bruce” because opinions among those people vary.

Always worth remembering that Tarantino is unapologetically proud of driving multiple actresses to breakdown and physical injury to capture a "perfect performance" - if he had tried something like that directing a Bruce Lee movie he would have been sent running with his tail between his legs. He fears Bruce Lee's memory for his reputation of standing up to bullies, essentially.

5:27 I never heard anything about Bruce treating stuntmen badly. He hurt Jackie Chan by accident twice and twice he came to his aid. First time was during the flying kick stunt, when Chan doubled for Suzuki's actor. After the stunt was finished, Bruce went to see if Jackie was ok. Of course as he said Jackie always ok. The second time was during the infamous neck snap scene in Fist of Fury. According to Jackie, he milked that one for all it was worth because Bruce was carrying him.
Your thoughts on Tarantino's love of Bruce Li over Bruce Lee fits his psychology. Tarantino's movies, quite often, are imitations of other people's work.
That's a great way to put it. Tarantino himself is an exploitation imitator who believes he's better than the originals. So he believes the Bruceploitation imitators are better than the original Bruce Lee himself.
Bruce Lee is definitely overrated, you're a fool if you think otherwise. There's a whole bunch of hype around him and Mystique with the fact they died so young. He's like some mythical fighter who can to do things no one can do today. Like some comic superhero. He was a human that's it, nothing more. Maybe he was a good fighter but he wasn't really tested. The way people describe him sounds like he could be beating 15 top MMA guys in the same night, it's ridiculous. It sounds like people think that he could do in real life what he did in his movies
@@humility-righteous-giving I think you’re pretty wrong actually. While I do believe that their could be another martial artist like Bruce Lee out there he was definitely not overrated. He had discipline, followed strict regiments to his craft, and was a great martial artist and actor. And about his movies not portraying reality that’s wrong too. He was actually even faster at striking and kicking irl than in his movies since there were many times the producers had to tell him to slow down to get the shot correctly. He was connected to his culture so he was definitely a key part of bringing the influence of Chinese culture and methodology to the West. Also you’re forgetting about his one inch punch, 2 finger push ups and dragon flag workout. Why do misinformed ppl like you shit on legends like it’s bad to admire them?

Thanks for stringing this together man. I have a hard time believing Bruce Lee could be a ignorant person. He is known to be a very deep thinker who studied from many different cultures.
He was also a pothead & coke addict. His abuse of drugs was probably what killed him at such an early age. I guess he was too "cultured" to know drugs can kill you.

Great job and excellent research done for the video. I hate when people put modern-day fighter standards on Bruce Lee back in the 70s. UFC wasn't a thing back then. A lot of people back then didn't even know what martial arts was until they saw bruce lee. He brought the art to a whole generation of people. Bruce Lee was one of the fastest people alive, and one of the most dedicated martial artists. He wasn't "just an actor" but a thinker and a philosopher too.
Absolutely no footage of Bruce in a real fight anywhere.. I like Bruce but you gotta think that's pretty odd for a guy involved in film all of his life(from childhood) to not have one crystal clear recording of him being in a real fight... and the one or two ultra poor quality clips of him doing an exhibition don't count .. I like Bruce Lee and definitely not a Bruce hater but the "Hero Worship" is a little outta balance ! He was a pioneer as far as sharing the secrets of Martial Arts with the West but no man is invincible.. especially one who was never in real competition !
Bruce Lee was probably the only Asian superstar in Hollywood, which is a rarity and an inspiration for ethnic minorities in America and around the world. But of course Quentin Tarantino had to bring him down and make him look like an idiot.
I feel if anything Bruce was underrated. I believe that he never showed his true potential or was on his way to. I also believe he was very subtle in some of his notes about crossing the line of human to supernatural in becoming a being that is one with everything and channeling energy into the human body from the universe. Also intuition of potential threats in so many words. To harness a flow of energy that can strike like lightning. For instance.....there is a shrimp called a Pistol Shrimp. This shrimp can snap its claw so fast that it creates a flash dispersing water in the bottom of the ocean with heat that is equal to the energy released from the sun. Think about that. A tiny living shrimp snaps its claw so quick it releases the power of the sun for a millisecond. It's so loud it messes with the sonar of a Nuke Submarine. This shrimp is the size of a silver dollar. Now put your whole hip into it and SNAP IT. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
You SAID it, Steven----Bruce was on the Cusp of achieving a level of both Physical AND Spiritual conscience that literally TOWERED above the typical, "Kick--Punch" of those days. Rather than sitting around trying to find Fault with Bruce, they should be showing re- spect--- and a lot OF it!
He is simultaneously both overrated and underrated. He is overrated by fanboys who think he was the best ever, and he is underrated by haters who say he was “just an actor.” The truth is in between.
I think Tarantino way underestimated how much love there will always be for Bruce Lee. He thought he could portray him in a negative light and just get away with it. Well, he got the backlash he deserved and tried to play it off. Can't even admit how bad he screwed up. Hey Quentin...never mess with a true legend.
I really don't think he cares how butt hurt the Bruce stans got. Bruce has no combat record. Never entered a tournament. Has never mentioned and no one else has mentioned a single actual practical demonstration of his skills. He was a Hollywood show martial artists. But but but I read he could do 400 pushups, ok. Even Chuck Norris could actually defend himself if he had to and has proof, people have Bruce Lee's movies and treat them like Documentaries lmao
@@notjohn100 No combat record, nor entered a tournament. However, James Coburn and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were two of his students, and both spoke extensively of him being the real deal and not simply Hollywood Martial Arts. On top of that, many legends within the legitimate Martial Arts community thought highly of Bruce Lee, all saying he was the real deal. For the final word (go ahead; you tell him he doesn’t have the Final Word), you should speak with Chuck Norris, who was not only friends with him, but sparred Bruce Lee and even learned a thing or two from him. He’ll set you straight on Bruce Lee. You may dislike Bruce Lee, especially considering his name is an industry unto itself, but you cannot say he was nothing more than a Hollywood Martial Artist. His prowess didn’t come from stunt doubles, creative camera angles and very cooperative movie villains. He was THAT good.
The only shocking thing about this whole situation is that anyone cares, Bruce was a very skilled martial artist, and pritty much the granddaddy of modern MMA, so regardless of the true he's still an absolute legend, especially to many of the great fighters of today, and it's their opinions that really matters, so who even cares.
You stupid kid. Why would the opinion of strong fighter have more worth than your or mine? You need shut up & learn how wipe own butt first. Your opinions are joke.
The guys entire filmography consists of one good movie, one mediocre movie, and a ton of trash. I'll never get way people are so on his nuts everytime he releases something.
Absolutely. He's been living off Pulp Fiction for a long time. Inglorious was watchable. Everything else is complete garbage, but you'll have fanboyz that will slobber all over ANYTHING the yutz puts out. Essentially he makes violent movies with a bunch of gratuitous cussing and every fetish the douche has ever had.
Eh idk about that, he has engraved himself in cinema history as one of the best. Regardless of his opinions on Lee, Tarantino is a legend in his own right.
@@Bridgeburner4477 your response seems to operate on the assumption I was comparing the 2. I was not. I was simply stating a fact of reality. Good day.
I have seen a video here on YT where Van Williams is explaining Bruce's attitude and his interactions with the stuntmen. Bruce, coming from Hong Kong, was used to strike for real since that was the practice. But once they pointed out the differences, he adjusted. If he truly was arrogant, he wouldn't have cared. I think this whole thing with Bruce Lee doesn't even have to do with Bruce, but more with someone who is a fan. And that someone has hurt Tarantino which he is still disgruntled about. Tarantino is the arrogant one. If it weren't for Hong Kong Cinema he wouldn't be where he was today.
When someone is the best at what they do...not everyone will sing your praises...it will bring out the worst in many people... latest example is Tarantino.
Interesting video. I thought Tarantino respected Bruce Lee after his Kill Bill movie series, thinking it was a tribute to his yellow jumpsuit fight scenes. So I was surprised by his bogus Bruce Lee fight scene with this fictionalized stud, stunt guy, Cliff Booth. Nice job of clarifying the backstory.
Kill Bill 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 a movie about nothing except gore, fake historical figures, weirdos, absolutely senseless bloodbath, terrifying shots, inaccurate samurai techniques, bizarre editing, the list goes on. Tarantino is so full of it.
After Bruce Lee died a lot of losers started claiming that they could easily take Bruce lee down because he was nothing but a movie star. But when he was around it only took a few idiots like Terrntino to talk out of their asses and it was a very painful lesson for them to realize that they were wrong and they had made a huge mistake.
Quentin Tarantino fighting to stay relevant by trying to tear down a legend. 50 years from now people will still visit the Bruce Lee statues and know who he is. While they won't even know who Quentin is unless they are in film school. The awareness and representation alone that Mr. Bruce Lee brought to the Asian community makes him a hero.
@@imperialstats fare point, the movie was awful but to be fair, the acting was top notch. I don’t understand why anyone would go at Bruce Lee. I’m no MA history buff but when I see BL on screen, it’s absolutely magical. He was unmatched in his beauty and charisma.
Nobody anywhere at any point in time. Once Upon A Time there was the mightest of men, small in stature greater than David and Goliath and his name was Bruce Lee. One of God's very favorite. That's what my spirit tells me.
He’d get his ass beat by amateur league fighters. Bruce could do a lot on screen but we’ve never seen him take an actual punch. He’s a dancer. Why do you think nobody uses his style in mma?
Awesome video once again Prince my dude thank you for setting the record straight when it comes to this particular topic!! Sad tho, because imagine how cool a Bruce lee movie directed by Tarantino could have been :(. R.I.P. Bruce Lee
Tarantino is a Mor-on .... He could never create a film as good as Bruce's. He should have. But he prefers Saturday Morning Chop Saki Movies to what Bruce Lee offered. The difference too, Bruce was a real street fighter, not just a movie actor or action hero. He had been in dozens of real street fight and Jeet Kune Do is a street fighting system not meant for film.
If Bruce lee fought mike Tyson, Bruce lee would die. Most people think Bruce lee in real life was as strong as he was in the movies that is why he is overrated. In the movies the Star can be as strong as the director wants him to be.
I remember being enrolled by my mother into a Judo class, when I cared only for karate. Little did I know, Judo is probably better. I never passed a white belt though, because I was there to have fun, not to follow stifling and arbitrary rules. Glad I chose fun above arbitrariness.
@@pafoneto1275 Combining techniques from different martial arts were very much something new at the time he did it. Today that is called MMA! He did MMA 20 years before it became a thing!
I do enjoy Tarantinos movies but from everything I've seen Bruce Lee was extremely humble i just can't imagine him acting like that in real life how he is portrayed in this movie.
1, Who was Bruce Lee? (a) "He developed" a [Personal Style] of [Martial Arts]. (b) "He shared" his [Style of Martial Arts] by beating other schools & opponents! (c) He [physically trained] till [his body gave in]! His Spirit kept him going. "He would not be denied" his [Belief in his Skills & Abilities]! (d) He was [Bruce Lee]...Father, Husband, [A Brand Name] "recognized" for [Integrity & Fan Appeal]! (a) [Producer, Director], (b) [Star, Lead Roles], (c) [Screenwriter & Coordinator] for all his [Action Scenes], [Executive Producer & Editor]. 2. To the Point: He did his job. He did it well.
Just think, he was popular at a time when there was a lot of racism in Hollywood. Today he would have movie offers from all the studios. As far as I know he did alright, but he had to relocate to Hong Kong because there was no work in the US. So not only did he have a short career but he was hindered because of the time and era he lived in. Despite these obstacles he became legendary. That’s quite the accomplishment.
I love Tarantino. He's a great and smart filmmaker. However, the way he decided to treat and characterize Lee in this movie is simply infuriating. There was no reason to do that. Bruce Lee almost singlehandedly made Asian martial artists acting in mainstream movies viable and integral - and Tarantino pushed him aside like how Hollywood did to the real Bruce Lee in the past. It's why I have not watched this movie. The clips and some scenes I've scene of the Lee character in the movie already infuriates me and I'm pretty sure even more scenes of Lee not being Lee will make it worse.
@@thirdhandlv4231 In my line of work that's a good thing. I've *zero* interest in being remembered since 90% of people absolutely suck and it will always be that way going forward.
Bruce was an undeniable force in martial arts. As a teacher, he dared to challenge traditional training methods by innovating and making it work for the individual student. This made a lot of Asian martial artists pissed off but Bruce proved his point in spades with his seemingly supernatural speed and technique. His kicks and punches, as seen in film, have been unmatched with anything else we've seen since. None of his fight scenes are sped up for cinematic effect like so many other big name movies coming out of Hong Kong yet he's really that fast and powerful. Sample the brutal side kick to Bob Wall in Enter the Dragon or the training pad kick in Way of the Dragon. I'm rambling here but I will sum up by saying Bruce singlehandedly rewrote the book of martial arts before the dawn of the 70s was up, and he was only 32. So Fuck ol' Quentin.
It sounds like you'd buy a ticket to wait in line and kiss his ass. Bruce Lee could beat (insert name) in seconds, no competition at all. He could also have beaten (insert names) because he could punch and kick through an engine block...seriously! What this boils down to is the age old male obsession of who has the biggest dick. You'd think by now, in this day and age, that thinking like that would be considered immature. Look at me! Me punch hard! Me hurt people! Me have mucho muscles! But I guess macho, jock, roided stupidity will continue until the end of time.
Bruce Lee was an artist, not a competitive fighter. Bruce Lee was good at what he did and he was a man that the average guy didn’t want to mess with. However, I’d put my money on Royce Gracie against Bruce Lee when they were both in their prime.
I’m glad that when I’ve recounted Tarantino’s story explaining Cliff’s fight with Bruce Lee I always framed it “according to Tarantino.” I had my doubts about his veracity
I've always been very, very impressed with Bruce Lee. His philosophy, his discipline, fighting techniques, physique, attitude, acting, exercise regimen, career, accomplishments... the list goes on. I have never been that impressed with Quentin Tarantino or his work. Quentin Tarantino is overrated. I have seen 4 or 5 of his movies, and have seen several of his interviews, but in my estimation, he is a typical Hollywood film industry narcissist and purveyor of violently mediocre movies that transform shock and disgust into a movie ticket sales gimmick. I have a profound disdain for the mixing of history and fiction. Oh well, I guess since he's rich and famous it must be working out for him financially; can't say that I would hate having lots of money, mansions, beautiful ladies, and fine cars; I'm just saying that I have respect and admiration for Bruce Lee, his work and his way of looking at things. I have actually read a few of his books... and I probably wouldn't walk out into my own yard to watch one of Tarantino's movies. Not even if they rolled out a red carpet for me. I definitely don't want to see the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood movie anymore. I'm not going to sit through something disrespectful toward Bruce Lee.
You mentioned his acting ? His acting was laughable at best ! His acting was amateurish , that kind of acting would never fly today ! Not only him , but everyone in his movies were terrible at acting ! Some of the villans were laughable, and all of the average thugs that he beat down by the dozen, were like people grabbed off the streets : hey you come here ! Bruce will beat you down, will give you 20 bucks ! Amateuris movies, terribly acted ! Every one of his films
@@kennethmurphy1652 yeah well perhaps in the 1970s those films were watchable.....today they are like a comedy show (unintentionally) the bad acting, the cat fighting sounds that Bruce makes. Etc etc. So over rated. I sometimes smoke a joint, and come across a Lee flick, I seriously laugh my ass off ! I find the acting (or rather over acting) extremely funny......
@@tiborpurzsas2136 I'd say the modern movies of today are going to be laughed at for decades to come and studied for many generations to avoid ever letting this happen again. Far more than any movie of the 70s in fact because the writing is genuinely pathetic now. So pathetic it's actually making old movies look better than they ever did and that's daunting.
@@Kn1ghtborne I never said that modern filmsa are any good.....the movies like Disney star wars is a blatant cash grab nothing more. The same goes for Marvel flicks etc. Everything is a cash grab nowadays unfortunately! These kind of movies don't interest me at all
OMG thank you, bro! I thought I was the only one being pissed about this. Tarantino even went back and went after Bruce Lee's wife. WTF is wrong with him?
he's white, old, and lonely. maybe he should get a sex change, like modern white guys, beat women at everything and live with 20 cats. he can afford it.
Well Tarantino is kind of a dck I mean even in the roles he puts himself in he's a complete sht from dusk til dawn, pulp fiction, and even django unchained he's type cast as the a hole
Maybe when he (quentin) was younger he wanted an autograph and bruce did not give it to him because Quentin caught him on a bad day. And now his holding this subtle not subtle hate for bruce
I began studying Bruce's legacy in 1980. I was a young teenager. Bruce Lee had a tremendous impact on my life in a good way. Obviously I'm not one of those who thinks Bruce was invincible but I don't see him as just an actor. His contribution, during the Jim Crowe era to martial arts, the development of martial arts, the insight in looking at people as people and not the color of their skin or ethnicity broke barriers not only in the US but between east and west. Jeet Kune Do was not Bruce's only legacy, he was and did so much more. Now if you ask me, could Bruce fight, I would answer "You wouldn't want to find that out personally". The fake Karate champions of the 60's that played tag Karate were no match for Bruce and they knew it, they were envious of his intelligence, his creativity, his insight and the fact that you couldn't touch him. Hayward Nishioka said Bruce was well trained in grappling arts but if he got him on the ground he could possibly defeat him, but the problem was getting him on the ground, he was too fast.
I respect Quentin because of his honesty and defending fiction. I respect Bruce Lee because he's done so much for the martial arts and he looked out for the little guys, Jackie Chan is the best example when he accidentally hit him in the face on Enter The Dragon he took him as one of his stunt men to do overtime with him.
Bra people still hate Hitler long after your death. By your logic Hitler "must have done something right to have someone try that hard to insult his legacy even long after your death."
I personally turned my back on Tarantino when he tried to claim, with a straight face, that Django Unchained was a genuine exploration of the effects of slavery in the Deep South, rather than the yet-another-excuse-for-a-shoot-'em-up that it really was. Like all his films. If there was justice in the world Tarantino would be directing Steven Seagal films. Those two have the same approach to content.
Years ago I trained for a year with Steve Golden in Junction City Oregon in the He was one of Bruce Lee's first students in Los Angeles. Steve told some great stories about Bruce. Steve was only about 5' 5" and weighed about 140 lbs. He knocked me across his garage with the one-inch punch. No chair behind me. He made a believer out of me. I could say more but I don't want to provoke people who only criticize on social media.
Then kahbib comes along smashes his face and then chokes him out. Modern MMA would destroy Bruce Lee sorry. Facts are facts. Take it from Bas Rutten the guy knows his shit.
he took what works in all martial arts in incorporated it not original the romans were the first to this and applied it to war bruce lee applied it to martial arts, the father of MMA
@@nightfightsday Sure. But you're taking his comment out of context. Of course Bruce Lee would lose to a modern fighter. Modern fighters have taken the building blocks Bruce Lee laid in his approach to mixed martial arts and become more complete fighters. If he woke up today, in perfect health, and had a fight, he'd be destroyed. But if he were given time to train like modern fighters, he would probably do very well given his athleticism and work ethic, even Bas said that. Anything else is pure speculation.
It's very sad , I will explain : I have a huge respect for Tarantino and believe he is a great director , but Bruce Lee is a legend and he is so popular because humanity knows that he was truly a good hearted person
Thank you for making this video. I'm not a fan of Tarantino movies and now I have a reason to not be a fan of Tarantino the man. I've always loved Bruce Lee. He was a great man even if he wasn't as great of a martial artist as his legend would lead you to believe. Thank you again for making this video. The truth is more entertaining than bs and Tarantino movies and the man are mostly bs.
I was in love with Bruce Lee when I was a child and I still get butterflies by watching his movies, interviews, fights… I think Tarantino is being a jerk, just disrespectful. I didn’t like the scene with fake Bruce Lee being beaten up. For me Bruce is the best fighter ever. I get bored by watching other fighters easily so I usually don’t watch fight movies… I don’t understand the hype over many stars* so to speak.. but with Bruce Lee it is otherworldly… how he is one with his body and soul how he carries himself he is one with universe and I also love how he tried to teach people about what he has learned from his masters and life itself. I believe that Bruce Lee was a genuinely good person at heart. But I don’t think the same about Tarantino when listening to his interviews.
Bruce Lee’s delusional fans make me dislike Bruce lee…no doubt he was a great actor and martial artist and probably a great guy, but when you have all these fans making ridiculous claims about Bruce lee being able to beat real fighters like mike Tyson or almost any current MMA pro fighters, it makes the man less of a legend and more of a joke to anyone with experience or knowledge of actual combat

I have researched serial Bullsh*ter Tarantino' story. Too many articles are saying that "Clif Boothe" was based on Burt Reynolds stunt double and friend "Hal Needham" who was a Korean War Veteran and real bad ass. I read an article about Gene LeBell being brought in to teach Bruce Lee how to make fights look real because Bruce didn't think the fights looked real on film. LeBell was horsing around with Lee and picked Lee up above his shoulders and ran around the set with Bruce on his shoulders. There were hollow threats made by both men but there was never a fight like Tarantino claims there was. I believe Tarantino changed who Clif Boothe was based on because Hal Needham wasn't a martial artist and people where pissed off of Tarantino's bullsh*t story so he changed it to Gene LeBell to save face even though that was another lie.
I feel Very, very, very sad 😥 4 Quentin Tarantino 😪 I suspected it from afar but now, I AM convinced , Tarantino is from🌈 LA LA LAND 🌃🌠 The place where Fiction is Reality & Reality is Fiction!!! Will someone PLEASE tell Tarantino QUIT IT!!! ( in reference to part of his name) Poor Sharon Stone & her friends was actually killed 😢, The Manson kids..Did-Not-Go-To-Rick Dalton's-🏡-&-faced-Cliff-Dary🐕-&-Rick's-flame-thrower as U So self-delusionally put it on film 🎥!! That film in itself should tell 1 ALL ABOUT 🤯
Quentin" QUIT IT "Tarantino🤯
Goldenbell, about Bruce Li , he's been vilified so much threw out the yrs 4 being a "Bruce Lee " imitator!! In those days, it's considered a great boost 4 a young actor's career 2 be mentioned in the breathe as Bruce Lee. Bruce Li was the best because HE looked like Bruce & he studied Wing Chun just as Bruce had. Mr. Hung ( part of Li's name) studied Tae Kwon Do also so his kicks can compensate Lee's kicks. As a matter of fact just like Dan Insanato ( who Li worked with in later films 🎥) Li became a more Authority on WC than Lee himself. Is good ,bad or indifferent?? NO!! It means Lee's life span was cut shorter than Li's that's all!! Bruce Li took 🕤 to train & understand JKD WITH Dan Insanato which BETTER than other Bruce exportations actors most notoriously Bruce Le & Dragon Lee. Le had that lean muscle shredded"Enter the Dragon" look & Dragon was 5 ft short who needed a better fight choreographer! BOTH Divas was 2 of the Clones of Bruce Lee
Goldenbell? Quit It ( instead of Quentin) Tarantino tells our fellow Bruce Lee fans to go suck a dick 😒!! Who knows that better than an ASSHOLE??( Q.T.) There was a better way to promote & publicise this fictional story based on actual events!! All Quit It had to do is say " It's art imitating life!" Giving fans a "What If The Manson kids went to the 🏡 of the 📺 action 🌟s ,fictional character Rick Dalton." Dalton actually, unwittingly saved the lives of the pregnant Sharon
Tate & others by ordering the kids to get the bucket of bolts 🚗 out of the area!! THAT redirected the attention from The Roman Pawlowski home ( & wife Sharon) to Dalton's 🏡 where we know what happened there.
You can say bad things about Bruce, but at least he didnt try to kill Uma Thurman at the orders of a r*pist producer like Tarantino did.
The guy is dead long ago, and people are still jealous of him... What a legend !
Absolutely, truth NEVER DIES , falsehood and arrogance VANISH once EXPOSED.
Except Bruce Lee wasn’t a fighter.
Perfect comment!
Bruce Lee Used MMA before there was MMA Yes a Legend. 👍

Yes When you are LIAR taking ADVANTAGE of the DEAD for MONEY.
Exactly, easy to talk great about a guy who is no longer here. Once they die they all become legends. They're hyped up by the media. A product of the media. I too always thought that Bruce Lee's overrated same as Bob Marley
as the greatest reggae artist. Why because the media says so or because other people say so?
I chose who to like
Just as easy to turn him into a god, which is what his fans have done. Sad on both counts.
People do the same thing to Hitler. Come on people, we need to stop speaking ill of the dead. Show some respect.

Tarantino is simply a jerk. No need to pay him any attention.
No he's not Robert. He's voicing what he believes is the truth. Other than that he happens to be one of the greatest filmakers today.
@@kennethrussell1158 Tarantino is a good director, but he is not this so called genius that some people make him out to be. All that he does is steal ideas from cult movies that most people have never heard of.

Quentin Tarantino is a complete idiot, I like to see him say to that when Bruce Lee was alive in front of his face, Tarantino would be running away and crying like a little girl, and I don't think Tarantino's movies are that good either he's not that great of a movie maker or director, rock on Bruce Lee you will always be number one,
Quentin Tarantino, it's just an untalented frustrated director that copies , other directors in good actors work, and takes credit for it, and I think , his bad looks, make him frustrated too, pay no attention to him people, 🙊🙈🙉
@@edwardfournier676 I wouldn't say that he is untalented, but he is certainly a thief. I just wish that more people were aware of the other movies that he takes his ideas from like the original Italian Western ''Django'' from 1966.

The fact that some people still hating on him shows how big and successful Bruce was and still is.

Na your right he could best ali and tyson at the same time
I've never understood why people were always crazy about his movies. His movies are just style no substance, he just pick his favourite 70s movies and mash them together.
@@fernandomaron87 Well said.
It's easy to talk bad about a person that's not around to defend himself, but one thing I do know is that Bruce Lee never talked bad about anyone, he's not only a Master of martial arts, but a Master in humanity.
How was he a master in humanity? what did he do for humanity? He cared for his own self image and was obsessed with fighters and fighting. And when you say a master in martial arts, who did he really fight? any footage or videos? He didn't invent boxing or wrestling. Although he said that traditional Chinese fighting styles such as Kung Fu and Wing Chun were NOT EFFECTIVE. And he realized that most fights end up in punching , kicking and wrestling. But when you say humanity, please explain.
At least his daughter is still alive to defend her legendary dad!
Indeed, history and facts show this as true to the SEEKER .To the ARROGANT and the FOOL the result is DIFFERENT.

Bruce Lee is “overrated” yet Quentin used his iconic black and yellow jumpsuit for Kill Bill to represent his martial arts movie 😂
His hate is weird, like WTF did Bruce ever do to him?
Bruce Lee innovated cinema forever, Quentin copies a lot of movies for his movies.
There's your answer. Something happened between Kill Bill and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Something that made him go from dressing a lead character in a costume made famous by Lee, to all the sly little digs he's been taking at him. Imma go out on a limb and guess that maybe someone from Lee's estate contacted him about maybe getting some royalties, or maybe there was some copyright claim made. Something sure fliipped his bitch switch on the subject
@@ashscott6068 Yeah, he’s pretty lucky he hasn’t been sued for plagiarism, he rips off a lot of movies.

@James Deen Okay mister I heard him say that himself. Sure.... Why do you gotta lie to make friends?

Can't break water
Why is jeet kune do not used in the ufc? Because its choreographed dancing. Sold to western idiots and they lapped it up. So much so that the idiots still believe they are literally karate kid.
Your hero is a hero in marketing and dancing. He even said himself the best form of fighting is an aggressive boxer moving forward
The problem with people like Tarantino is that they've been hearing how amazing they are for so long that they think they can't be criticized.
I still enjoy his films, but I find him to be arrogant and a bit overrated.
His movies are crap.
Well said
I'm confused.. because you said the exact same thing about Tarantino that he said about Bruce Lee in the first place 😂😂
I feel like what is a bizarre hater for Bruce Lee FILMS is being misdirected as a bizarre hatred for Bruce Lee Bruce Lee became so big that he is much more than his films he is a martial artist a beacon for an entire country and actor a stuntman and one of the best hand-to-hand combatants in human history... I believe Tarantino's opinion of his videos is not his opinion of Bruce Lee as a whole and I do not share tarantinos opinion but I believe that Tarantino is in a professional position to have this opinion if anyone is... Also his movies are exactly is overrated as he believes Bruce Lee's are
Having finished the video I'm more firmly convinced that Quentin Tarantino was threatened on a career level because of Bruce Lee's brilliance and is just being the worst kind of person about expressing that
I don’t think Bruce was overrated at all actually I think quite the opposite. He was so ahead of his time that not many people really truly understood Bruce and his style. Going back and listening to him speak about not just mastering one style but mastering all, basically modern day mma.
Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup ~ Bruce Lee.
MMA philosophy exisited in China and Japan long before him, but he brought all this to the forefront and to the western public eye. All he said in his book tao of jeet Kune do is an amalgamation and synthesis of those traditional ideas, from which he made his own style. He says it so himself. And he was also an extremely talented martial artist. Anybody who saw real life footage of the demonstrations he participated in knows that.
Tarentino looks like an old guy who never did any kind of sport in his life and certainly has no idea whatsoever about martial arts. Good director but he should stick to his field.
@@metube1744 Bruce was a pioneer in mixing. Everyone back then was so rigid and prideful with their styles. If you adjusted a style they would punish you for it.
Yes he said alot about mixing martial arts. But what happens when a person learns too many then ends up mediocre and not excelling in anything. Like grappling, punching, counters, etc. ? I would really like to explore this topic in depth as I find it very interesting. Does one focus on a single martial art like Muay Thai or jujitsu and spend many years to become an expert at it? How many martial arts should you learn? Does a person learn to be good enough at one thing and then add to their style 1 by 1? What is considered as being good enough that you decide to explore something else to plug the weaknesses that your main style has?
He had zero ground game. He was no pioneer of mma. You guys are reaching.
@@SuperKendoman mma has shown the appropriate mixture. Jiu-jitsu jistsu and Thai boxing or Wrestling w western boxing have shown time and again that they are the best combinations.
I never realised how far ahead Lee was until I studied his training regime and philosophy. He was at least 30 years ahead of everyone else. People trained hybrid arts but taking pieces of many different arts in what we know as MMA wasn't really done until the early 2000s. Even in UFC they didn't really figure it out until BJJ was beating everyone, then people started to analyse a lot of arts.
He was doing full contact with gloves and mitts when no one was, he was doing weights for martial arts when no one was, he was incorporating grappling and ground fighting when no one was , he incorporated movement from dancing and fencing when no one was.
Sure he didn't have an amazing fight record but his training, his philosophy of just using what worked was very impressive.
Exactly. Doesn’t matter that he couldn’t win fights. As a white liberal, I respect that he was Asian and had a good philosophy. When another white person has an opinion that goes against my pc script, I double down and stick up for my minority pets.
Stop bro. Relax. Fighting is fighting and can end up anywhere. Don't act like this nigga was the first tonfight only because he starred in a couple movies. 🤣 it's like me Beliveing Clint Eastwood was the first to be a beast with a 6 shooter. Bruce Lee fans completely oblivious.
@@AntonioPerez-xo4hm Never said he was the first to fight, I said he was 30 years ahead of his time, which he was.
I feel Bruce Lee Fans & Bruce Lee Haters are both sides of the same coin. One side props him up as a total god who can beat any pro MMA fighter, & the others believe he's a fraud and only uses their surface-level knowledge of his movies to support that belief.
But like you and I have, we've actually taken time to read his writings in order to understand him further. His books weren't bad and the concepts he had to offer were still valuable. He learned a lot from other martial arts & professional fighters.
TheWeasel had a good, unbiased analysis of Bruce. He appraised Bruce's use of the sidekick to the knee - what Bruce called the "longest weapon to the closest target" - which has seen use in the UFC by Jon Jones' camp. Bruce fought _very_ differently from his movies.
But, Weasel also admitted that his sparring partner was too inexperienced to accurately gauge Bruce's skills. And how Bruce's use of a vertical fist could be difficult against a mobile opponent.
I think anybody can gain benefit from studying Bruce. But both the deification & defamation of his name only serves to prevent people from learning something truly valuable from the man.
Dude MMA was a thing before Bruce. Just Americans had 0 knowledge about it = does not look flashy on Hollywood screens. People who actually introduced MMA to Americans were practicing it before Bruce was even born...
The guy was an awesome philosopher tho and should be respected his mindset.
Bruce Lee is a legend. Who is this Tarantino guy?

I’ll never forget what Jackie Chan said during I think his it support interview, someone asked who would win between him and Bruce, and his response he said was: let Bruce win.
To me that was him respecting everything Bruce has done for the industry and saying the debate is tired, have respect for the dead. That’s how I interpreted his response anyway and I think it’s a good stance to take

Wow! I was just about to comment about this. Both of these videos have me feeling conflicted
That's wierd considering Bruce Lee lost out a job in Hollywood for I believe the show kung-fu, which David Carradine started in, who also happens to be the protagonist in kill Bill. If anything it could be another jab from Tarantino

My thoughts exactly.
except that QT never called Bruce Lee overrated. Did you guys actually watch the video? This is clickbait

Ha ha absolutely true words.
Tarantino has been living for the past 30 years in a world where no one tells him no. He's full of himself and a prick. That's reality, he calls Lee arrogant in the inverview, but Tarantino needs to look in the mirror.
100% he has the personality of “if you don’t like it you can fuck off!” It’s really sad and annoying

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I always idolized Bruce Lee. For me, the UFC dispelled a lot of myths about fighting and martial arts. Was Bruce Lee a great martial artist? Absolutely. His technique and speed were incredible. Does that translate to real fighting like the UFC? In my opinion, yes and no. However, the fact that he was imitated so much and his name is synonymous with martial arts makes him a true legend. Also, I would not want fight him🙂. Rest In peace Mr. Lee.
Comparing Bruce Lee to today's UFC champions is like comparing Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton to Stephen Hawking and other Nobel winners, the knowledge possessed by modern scientists far surpasses that of Galilei, Newton or Kepler, but if it wasn't for them modern science wouldn't exist at all. The same goes for Bruce Lee, modern fighters can very well be better than him, but if it wasn't for him the very concept of MMA wouldn't even exist.
Why would you compare him to todays fighters? Do you compare todays Olympians to those of 40 years ago? What the #$/% is wrong with society.

I have a unique perspective on this situation. I grew up in L.A. and one of my buddies was a student of Jim Kelly's(From Enter the Dragon). Jim Kelly had a Martial Arts school down near the Crenshaw area of L.A.. We asked Jim what he thought of Bruce Lee as a Martial Artist and he told us that no one at that time was his equal. Jim was a guy that watched Bruce spar with all of the greats from that time period. Tarantino needs to stick to Producing Movies.
Finally truth speaks , what you say is VERIFIED by EVIDENCE and WITNESSES. Thank you very much for speaking out.
Jim Kelly was good friends with Bruce, it's not like he was going to say something negative about him.
Not what I heard from people who know people who were at the WJM challenge match. And from the San Francisco Chinatown CMA community. Nor is what I believe. Based off of what he did after the WJM challenge match and based off his temperament.
It's actually very simple to figure out who's telling the truth. Do this:
Without telling them why, ask serval people who are actual fighters about temper and control of emotions. Ask them if someone who can't control their temper can make it MMA, boxing or any professional or even amateur league or tournament.
True that.!✊🏼
Tarantino's movies are absolute sh!t and he is frankly an OVERRATED movie producer with even sh!ttier values. Fvck that guy. I'm NOT even a Bruce Lee fan, but ALL the people that bad mouth Bruce Lee are, without exception, the sh!ttiest people you could ever come across. It's like a personality litmus test.
I trained under some people who met him, trained under/with him and they all have said he was one of the most inspiring people they ever met.
Thanks for sharing 👍
It's easy.
You can watch QT's movies when you are a teenager, you may find some still interesting when you border a certain age, but from then on, his violence and general approach drifts away from any personal evolution that might happen. There is just nothing behind the stories QT tells.
In change, you can age with Bruce Lee. You will always find him inspirational when you need assistance most. It is not about the movies, it is about the man. He can fill any void at any time, and not because of violence, but because of genuine wisdom he spread, generosity and hard working character he was.
Obviously, he was a problem in many eyes. QT is just one of these guys that instinctively feel overwhelmed and as any kings without clothes, he prefers to attack to disguise his nudity.
Kind regards,

Always worth remembering that Tarantino is unapologetically proud of driving multiple actresses to breakdown and physical injury to capture a "perfect performance" - if he had tried something like that directing a Bruce Lee movie he would have been sent running with his tail between his legs.

5:27 I never heard anything about Bruce treating stuntmen badly. He hurt Jackie Chan by accident twice and twice he came to his aid. First time was during the flying kick stunt, when Chan doubled for Suzuki's actor. After the stunt was finished, Bruce went to see if Jackie was ok. Of course as he said Jackie always ok. The second time was during the infamous neck snap scene in Fist of Fury. According to Jackie, he milked that one for all it was worth because Bruce was carrying him.
He beat up a few extras may have been stuntmen but they challenged Bruce they were only there to try and beat the legend.. Q.T is a dick

Bruce Lee was probably the only Asian superstar in Hollywood, which is a rarity and an inspiration for ethnic minorities in America and around the world. But of course Quentin Tarantino had to bring him down and make him look like an idiot.
Bruce Lee was very open minded and people tend to forget that he was the one who brought the east and west closer culturally
I feel if anything Bruce was underrated.
I believe that he never showed his true potential or was on his way to.
I also believe he was very subtle in some of his notes about crossing the line of human to supernatural in becoming a being that is one with everything and channeling energy into the human body from the universe.
Also intuition of potential threats in so many words.
To harness a flow of energy that can strike like lightning.
For instance.....there is a shrimp called a Pistol Shrimp.
This shrimp can snap its claw so fast that it creates a flash dispersing water in the bottom of the ocean with heat that is equal to the energy released from the sun.
Think about that.
A tiny living shrimp snaps its claw so quick it releases the power of the sun for a millisecond.
It's so loud it messes with the sonar of a Nuke Submarine.
This shrimp is the size of a silver dollar.
Now put your whole hip into it and SNAP IT.

he makes movies. end of discussion.
I really don't think he cares how butt hurt the Bruce stans got. Bruce has no combat record. Never entered a tournament. Has never mentioned and no one else has mentioned a single actual practical demonstration of his skills. He was a Hollywood show martial artists. But but but I read he could do 400 pushups, ok.

@@notjohn100 No combat record, nor entered a tournament. However, James Coburn and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were two of his students, and both spoke extensively of him being the real deal and not simply Hollywood Martial Arts.
On top of that, many legends within the legitimate Martial Arts community thought highly of Bruce Lee, all saying he was the real deal.
For the final word (go ahead; you tell him he doesn’t have the Final Word), you should speak with Chuck Norris, who was not only friends with him, but sparred Bruce Lee and even learned a thing or two from him. He’ll set you straight on Bruce Lee.
You may dislike Bruce Lee, especially considering his name is an industry unto itself, but you cannot say he was nothing more than a Hollywood Martial Artist. His prowess didn’t come from stunt doubles, creative camera angles and very cooperative movie villains. He was THAT good.
The only shocking thing about this whole situation is that anyone cares, Bruce was a very skilled martial artist, and pritty much the granddaddy of modern MMA, so regardless of the true he's still an absolute legend, especially to many of the great fighters of today, and it's their opinions that really matters, so who even cares.

@@warbeast787 Bruce Lee is much more than tarantino. And it's a stretch to call tarantino a legend when compared to Bruce Lee.
@@Bridgeburner4477 your response seems to operate on the assumption I was comparing the 2. I was not. I was simply stating a fact of reality. Good day.
@@warbeast787 your reality maybe
I have seen a video here on YT where Van Williams is explaining Bruce's attitude and his interactions with the stuntmen. Bruce, coming from Hong Kong, was used to strike for real since that was the practice. But once they pointed out the differences, he adjusted. If he truly was arrogant, he wouldn't have cared.
I think this whole thing with Bruce Lee doesn't even have to do with Bruce, but more with someone who is a fan. And that someone has hurt Tarantino which he is still disgruntled about. Tarantino is the arrogant one. If it weren't for Hong Kong Cinema he wouldn't be where he was today.
Tarantino copied City On Fire for Reservoir Dogs.
Bruce actually didn't have any experience with on-screen fights when he did The Green Hornet.
He was not making martial arts films as a child actor.
Deep down in every mans soul, there is a secret admiration of Bruce Lee the Martial Artist.
Bruce lee is the biggest bad ever in my book
Lol no he is overrated and his followers are in love with his myth he made for himself.

@@marblemadness8870 not my fault your parents did’t love you enough that’s why you have to be a shity person online
When someone is the best at what they do...not everyone will sing your praises...it will bring out the worst in many people... latest example is Tarantino.
So emphatically true
I think when u become an icon like Lee, Ali, Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc... you're gonna have lotsa haters as well as those who love them.
Out of those four Icons We have seen Ali box, we have heard Elvis and MJ sing. We have never seen Bruce fight for real.
Interesting video. I thought Tarantino respected Bruce Lee after his Kill Bill movie series, thinking it was a tribute to his yellow jumpsuit fight scenes. So I was surprised by his bogus Bruce Lee fight scene with this fictionalized stud, stunt guy, Cliff Booth. Nice job of clarifying the backstory.
Kill Bill 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 a movie about nothing except gore, fake historical figures, weirdos, absolutely senseless bloodbath, terrifying shots, inaccurate samurai techniques, bizarre editing, the list goes on. Tarantino is so full of it.
Uma Thurman barely knew who Bruce Lee was when she did Kill Bill and apparently didn’t like the tracksuit and thought it reminded her of a banana ..
@@a.ksh376 sounds like a great movie
After Bruce Lee died a lot of losers started claiming that they could easily take Bruce lee down because he was nothing but a movie star.
But when he was around it only took a few idiots like Terrntino to talk out of their asses and it was a very painful lesson for them to realize that they were wrong and they had made a huge mistake.
Quentin Tarantino fighting to stay relevant by trying to tear down a legend. 50 years from now people will still visit the Bruce Lee statues and know who he is. While they won't even know who Quentin is unless they are in film school. The awareness and representation alone that Mr. Bruce Lee brought to the Asian community makes him a hero.
Facts cuz when people think kung fu films they think Jackie chan and Bruce Lee
Tf you talking bout Tarantino is super famous and his movies are really popular
Bruce Lee fought against anti-Asian racism and Quentin Tarantino’s obsession with the “n-word” says it all about his views.
Straight up stopped watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood after the Bruce Lee scene. No reason to disrespect a legend like Bruce Lee.
Yeah I stayed away when I heard about that scene. Sucks cause I was just now getting over his excessive use of the N-word.
That's why I don't feel bad seeing him getting cancelled by the very people he cater to lmao
Nobody can touch Bruce Lee. He was a work of art.
He shitted on bruce lee and also made his worst movie of his career lol
@@imperialstats fare point, the movie was awful but to be fair, the acting was top notch. I don’t understand why anyone would go at Bruce Lee. I’m no MA history buff but when I see BL on screen, it’s absolutely magical. He was unmatched in his beauty and charisma.
Nobody anywhere at any point in time. Once Upon A Time there was the mightest of men, small in stature greater than David and Goliath and his name was Bruce Lee. One of God's very favorite. That's what my spirit tells me.
@@starshineraiser6729 the acting was good even though the movie sucked Lol
If only Bruce is alive and in his prime today! I think a lot of “other” people will understand what “over rated” truly means!
Indeed, absolutely
He’d get his ass beat by amateur league fighters. Bruce could do a lot on screen but we’ve never seen him take an actual punch. He’s a dancer. Why do you think nobody uses his style in mma?
Awesome video once again Prince my dude thank you for setting the record straight when it comes to this particular topic!! Sad tho, because imagine how cool a Bruce lee movie directed by Tarantino could have been :(. R.I.P. Bruce Lee
He's only saying that because Bruce is gone, He knows that if Bruce was still here, he'd snatch his heart right out of his chest.
TRUE!!
Bruce will be waiting for him in the next dimension
LMMFAO.
I dont know why peoples r so jelious on Bruce Lee remember there will be no Bruce Lee again i hate those who never respect the legend (Bruce Lee).
Bruce doesn't even know who this nerd is
@THE RENAGADE I think there is. It just not what people think
He's gonna get one-inch punched back to hell
Tarantino is a Mor-on .... He could never create a film as good as Bruce's. He should have. But he prefers Saturday Morning Chop Saki Movies to what Bruce Lee offered. The difference too, Bruce was a real street fighter, not just a movie actor or action hero. He had been in dozens of real street fight and Jeet Kune Do is a street fighting system not meant for film.
Truth indeed ,TRUTH INDEED.
If Bruce lee fought mike Tyson, Bruce lee would die. Most people think Bruce lee in real life was as strong as he was in the movies that is why he is overrated. In the movies the Star can be as strong as the director wants him to be.
What ever Bruce Lee was, he was innovative and ahead of his time with his Mixed Martial Arts "style" Jeet Kune Do!
I remember being enrolled by my mother into a Judo class, when I cared only for karate. Little did I know, Judo is probably better. I never passed a white belt though, because I was there to have fun, not to follow stifling and arbitrary rules. Glad I chose fun above arbitrariness.
Ahead of his time? The so called "his styles" is just Orthodox style with a cool name, nothing new.
@@pafoneto1275 Combining techniques from different martial arts were very much something new at the time he did it. Today that is called MMA!
He did MMA 20 years before it became a thing!
@@maxcaysey2844
No, it wasn't new.
I do enjoy Tarantinos movies but from everything I've seen Bruce Lee was extremely humble i just can't imagine him acting like that in real life how he is portrayed in this movie.
Bruce Lee was NOT humble.
@@otakurocklee only because you insist on it.
@@otakurocklee He was not humble on his younger years, but learn through life experience and became one of the humblest man
1, Who was Bruce Lee? (a) "He developed" a [Personal Style] of [Martial Arts].
(b) "He shared" his [Style of Martial Arts] by beating other schools & opponents!
(c) He [physically trained] till [his body gave in]! His Spirit kept him going.
"He would not be denied" his [Belief in his Skills & Abilities]!
(d) He was [Bruce Lee]...Father, Husband, [A Brand Name]
"recognized" for [Integrity & Fan Appeal]! (a) [Producer, Director], (b) [Star, Lead Roles],
(c) [Screenwriter & Coordinator] for all his [Action Scenes], [Executive Producer & Editor].
2. To the Point: He did his job. He did it well.
Just think, he was popular at a time when there was a lot of racism in Hollywood. Today he would have movie offers from all the studios.
As far as I know he did alright, but he had to relocate to Hong Kong because there was no work in the US.
So not only did he have a short career but he was hindered because of the time and era he lived in. Despite these obstacles he became legendary. That’s quite the accomplishment.
The truth is like water..it always finds a way..be water...thanks for posting you were brilliant...well done 👍
I love Tarantino. He's a great and smart filmmaker. However, the way he decided to treat and characterize Lee in this movie is simply infuriating. There was no reason to do that. Bruce Lee almost singlehandedly made Asian martial artists acting in mainstream movies viable and integral - and Tarantino pushed him aside like how Hollywood did to the real Bruce Lee in the past. It's why I have not watched this movie. The clips and some scenes I've scene of the Lee character in the movie already infuriates me and I'm pretty sure even more scenes of Lee not being Lee will make it worse.
@@4dstellatedhypercube558 you clearly did not watch this video. watch the video and then delete this post...

Something very creepy about QT
You need to read your comment again and realize this is what Tarentino was pissed off with. Worshipping Lee like he's the messiah.
The whole clown syndicate AKA the circus, upvoted your dumb ass comment 😂
Bruce lee is living rent free in tarantino head and he's not alive
Rogan and Tarantino will be FORGOTTEN 50 years from now while Bruce Lee will still be an inspiration to people.
I think we should take Rogan's own advice and ignore him. Here's a good analysis of his latest controversy: ua-cam.com/video/qJ-M4u1Dgj8/v-deo.html

"Bruce Lee historian" sounds a lot like "Bruce Lee fan boy" with extra steps
It sounds like you have it all figured out 🤔
@@GoldenbellTraining lol
Tarantino is over-rated.
Nope.
And you've made how many movies ?
@Stephen Greenhorn They aren’t, its just your taste that is garbage :)
He really is. He's all gory spectacle and no storytelling.
Bruce is overrated. Quit it fan boy.
Bruce was an undeniable force in martial arts. As a teacher, he dared to challenge traditional training methods by innovating and making it work for the individual student. This made a lot of Asian martial artists pissed off but Bruce proved his point in spades with his seemingly supernatural speed and technique. His kicks and punches, as seen in film, have been unmatched with anything else we've seen since. None of his fight scenes are sped up for cinematic effect like so many other big name movies coming out of Hong Kong yet he's really that fast and powerful. Sample the brutal side kick to Bob Wall in Enter the Dragon or the training pad kick in Way of the Dragon. I'm rambling here but I will sum up by saying Bruce singlehandedly rewrote the book of martial arts before the dawn of the 70s was up, and he was only 32. So Fuck ol' Quentin.
It sounds like you'd buy a ticket to wait in line and kiss his ass. Bruce Lee could beat (insert name) in seconds, no competition at all. He could also have beaten (insert names) because he could punch and kick through an engine block...seriously! What this boils down to is the age old male obsession of who has the biggest dick. You'd think by now, in this day and age, that thinking like that would be considered immature.
Look at me! Me punch hard! Me hurt people! Me have mucho muscles! But I guess macho, jock, roided stupidity will continue until the end of time.
There is any match about him he was a performer not a real fighter
@@kairoward7738 performer or fighter, he was good at what he did, what about you? What can you do? Be a man, stop hating
Bruce Lee was an artist, not a competitive fighter. Bruce Lee was good at what he did and he was a man that the average guy didn’t want to mess with. However, I’d put my money on Royce Gracie against Bruce Lee when they were both in their prime.
@@yanglee8799 he shouldn't talk about your boyfriend like that, huh?
I’m glad that when I’ve recounted Tarantino’s story explaining Cliff’s fight with Bruce Lee I always framed it “according to Tarantino.” I had my doubts about his veracity
Brad Pitt not doing the scene out of respect for Brandon and his dad was a class act you don't often see in Hollywood
I've always been very, very impressed with Bruce Lee. His philosophy, his discipline, fighting techniques, physique, attitude, acting, exercise regimen, career, accomplishments... the list goes on. I have never been that impressed with Quentin Tarantino or his work. Quentin Tarantino is overrated. I have seen 4 or 5 of his movies, and have seen several of his interviews, but in my estimation, he is a typical Hollywood film industry narcissist and purveyor of violently mediocre movies that transform shock and disgust into a movie ticket sales gimmick. I have a profound disdain for the mixing of history and fiction.
Oh well, I guess since he's rich and famous it must be working out for him financially; can't say that I would hate having lots of money, mansions, beautiful ladies, and fine cars; I'm just saying that I have respect and admiration for Bruce Lee, his work and his way of looking at things. I have actually read a few of his books... and I probably wouldn't walk out into my own yard to watch one of Tarantino's movies. Not even if they rolled out a red carpet for me. I definitely don't want to see the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood movie anymore. I'm not going to sit through something disrespectful toward Bruce Lee.
You mentioned his acting ? His acting was laughable at best ! His acting was amateurish , that kind of acting would never fly today ! Not only him , but everyone in his movies were terrible at acting ! Some of the villans were laughable, and all of the average thugs that he beat down by the dozen, were like people grabbed off the streets : hey you come here ! Bruce will beat you down, will give you 20 bucks ! Amateuris movies, terribly acted ! Every one of his films
@@tiborpurzsas2136Yeah well he did just great for his films. In fact it was perfect. Peace homie
@@kennethmurphy1652 yeah well perhaps in the 1970s those films were watchable.....today they are like a comedy show (unintentionally) the bad acting, the cat fighting sounds that Bruce makes. Etc etc. So over rated. I sometimes smoke a joint, and come across a Lee flick, I seriously laugh my ass off ! I find the acting (or rather over acting) extremely funny......
@@tiborpurzsas2136 I'd say the modern movies of today are going to be laughed at for decades to come and studied for many generations to avoid ever letting this happen again. Far more than any movie of the 70s in fact because the writing is genuinely pathetic now. So pathetic it's actually making old movies look better than they ever did and that's daunting.
@@Kn1ghtborne I never said that modern filmsa are any good.....the movies like Disney star wars is a blatant cash grab nothing more. The same goes for Marvel flicks etc. Everything is a cash grab nowadays unfortunately! These kind of movies don't interest me at all
OMG thank you, bro! I thought I was the only one being pissed about this. Tarantino even went back and went after Bruce Lee's wife. WTF is wrong with him?
he's white, old, and lonely. maybe he should get a sex change, like modern white guys, beat women at everything and live with 20 cats. he can afford it.
Well Tarantino is kind of a dck I mean even in the roles he puts himself in he's a complete sht from dusk til dawn, pulp fiction, and even django unchained he's type cast as the a hole
You cant stop people opinion.Every people had one or two people that they didnt like or hate but yes in this case Tarantino was going too far.
He is as demeted as the characters that he plays in some of his own movies!🤮
@@museworx6066 pretty much. I can just imagine him playing off his characters while writing them
Maybe when he (quentin) was younger he wanted an autograph and bruce did not give it to him because Quentin caught him on a bad day. And now his holding this subtle not subtle hate for bruce
I began studying Bruce's legacy in 1980. I was a young teenager. Bruce Lee had a tremendous impact on my life in a good way. Obviously I'm not one of those who thinks Bruce was invincible but I don't see him as just an actor. His contribution, during the Jim Crowe era to martial arts, the development of martial arts, the insight in looking at people as people and not the color of their skin or ethnicity broke barriers not only in the US but between east and west. Jeet Kune Do was not Bruce's only legacy, he was and did so much more. Now if you ask me, could Bruce fight, I would answer "You wouldn't want to find that out personally". The fake Karate champions of the 60's that played tag Karate were no match for Bruce and they knew it, they were envious of his intelligence, his creativity, his insight and the fact that you couldn't touch him. Hayward Nishioka said Bruce was well trained in grappling arts but if he got him on the ground he could possibly defeat him, but the problem was getting him on the ground, he was too fast.
I respect Quentin because of his honesty and defending fiction.
I respect Bruce Lee because he's done so much for the martial arts and he looked out for the little guys, Jackie Chan is the best example when he accidentally hit him in the face on Enter The Dragon he took him as one of his stunt men to do overtime with him.
what honesty
What does Tarantino know about martial arts. Not shit.
Tarantino is a hack, always has been
You respect Quentin? Wtf the man is a literal pedophile

The green eyed monster
QUENTIN TARANTINO IS VERY JEALOUS OF BRUCE LEE MARTIAL ARTS LEGAGY AND INSPIRATION. ALOT OF FANS LIKE ME STILL IDOLIZE BRUCE LEE.
I personally turned my back on Tarantino when he tried to claim, with a straight face, that Django Unchained was a genuine exploration of the effects of slavery in the Deep South, rather than the yet-another-excuse-for-a-shoot-'em-up that it really was. Like all his films.
If there was justice in the world Tarantino would be directing Steven Seagal films. Those two have the same approach to content.
Both have made some great entertainment. Out for Justice is still one of the best choreographed martial arts movies.
💯
Years ago I trained for a year with Steve Golden in Junction City Oregon in the He was one of Bruce Lee's first students in Los Angeles. Steve told some great stories about Bruce. Steve was only about 5' 5" and weighed about 140 lbs. He knocked me across his garage with the one-inch punch. No chair behind me. He made a believer out of me. I could say more but I don't want to provoke people who only criticize on social media.
Thanks for sharing this experience 👍
hey, please, say more!!! I would love to know more!
Then kahbib comes along smashes his face and then chokes him out. Modern MMA would destroy Bruce Lee sorry. Facts are facts. Take it from Bas Rutten the guy knows his shit.
he took what works in all martial arts in incorporated it not original the romans were the first to this and applied it to war bruce lee applied it to martial arts, the father of MMA
@@nightfightsday Sure. But you're taking his comment out of context. Of course Bruce Lee would lose to a modern fighter. Modern fighters have taken the building blocks Bruce Lee laid in his approach to mixed martial arts and become more complete fighters. If he woke up today, in perfect health, and had a fight, he'd be destroyed. But if he were given time to train like modern fighters, he would probably do very well given his athleticism and work ethic, even Bas said that. Anything else is pure speculation.
It's very sad , I will explain : I have a huge respect for Tarantino and believe he is a great director , but Bruce Lee is a legend and he is so popular because humanity knows that he was truly a good hearted person
Everyone has their opinions so his opinion of Bruce shouldn’t bother you
Thank you for making this video. I'm not a fan of Tarantino movies and now I have a reason to not be a fan of Tarantino the man. I've always loved Bruce Lee. He was a great man even if he wasn't as great of a martial artist as his legend would lead you to believe. Thank you again for making this video. The truth is more entertaining than bs and Tarantino movies and the man are mostly bs.
Who gives a flying turd what he thinks… Bruce Lee is beyond a legend. He’ll always be the man

@@2laughandlaugh true
@@wickipicki4563 finally.....someone with a functioning brain.
I dont think Tarantino cares what any of you think XD
@@2laughandlaugh No, they don't. They said it themself. Bruce was a real deal.
I was in love with Bruce Lee when I was a child and I still get butterflies by watching his movies, interviews, fights… I think Tarantino is being a jerk, just disrespectful. I didn’t like the scene with fake Bruce Lee being beaten up. For me Bruce is the best fighter ever. I get bored by watching other fighters easily so I usually don’t watch fight movies… I don’t understand the hype over many stars* so to speak.. but with Bruce Lee it is otherworldly… how he is one with his body and soul how he carries himself he is one with universe and I also love how he tried to teach people about what he has learned from his masters and life itself. I believe that Bruce Lee was a genuinely good person at heart. But I don’t think the same about Tarantino when listening to his interviews.
Bruce Lee’s delusional fans make me dislike Bruce lee…no doubt he was a great actor and martial artist and probably a great guy, but when you have all these fans making ridiculous claims about Bruce lee being able to beat real fighters like mike Tyson or almost any current MMA pro fighters, it makes the man less of a legend and more of a joke to anyone with experience or knowledge of actual combat
That's nice 🙂
