There's this one scene in the movie with Bruce Lee. The point of the scene was to establish Cliff, Brad Pitt's character as a badass who was a match for Bruce Lee. However it seemed Tarantino took many gratuitous and totally unecessary cheap shots to make Bruce look like a retard. He was portrayed as this pompous blowhard who gets humiliated by Pitt both physically and verbally.
During there fight Cliff throws Lee hard enough into a car to cause a massive dent. I don't think that is a realistic portrayal of strength. It wasn't enough to show Cliff beating Lee in a realistic fight, Quentin had to give Cliff a superhuman level of strength so he could inflict cartoonish levels of violence on Lee.
Their were many ways to make Cliff look badass while still maintaining Bruce's dignity. However Tarantino decided to make him a stereotypical pompous and exotic kung fu chink.
He could of easily made the scene of Bruce being a down to earth martial artist and shown Cliff sparring with and even beating him. But instead he had to set it up as Bruce being some sort of hyper insecure bully and magically give Cliff superhuman strength just so he can beat the shit out of him.
I'm not one to be sensitive or complain about racism in media but this just seemed like it was put in to either shit on Bruce Lee or asians in general.
Bruce was not shown as some sort of cool guy that left his mark on the world, he was portrayed as an incompetent buffoon, in the same group as the Manson kids in the movie, who were actual heinous killers.
Tarantino wanted to make one of the most biggest Asian stars the world has seen look as retarded as people who committed first degree murder.
Why didn't Bruce Lee use Hokuto Shinken to kill Cliff?
Nicholas Brooks
Look clown. Bruce Lee knew what weight classes were as do many other fighters. The issue with the movie wasn't the fact Bruce Lee could lose a fight it was the the fact he was portrayed an assclown with a massive ego when in reality he was an incredibly humble guy who was happy to be where he was with movies and to spread his martial arts around.
Jackson Watson
Delusional.

>tarantino does a movie where a woman and some randos kill hitler totally fine guise, just a fictional movie >tarantino does a movie where some dude overpowers bruce lee WTF HOW DARE HE ATTACK ONE OF THE ONLY TWO FAMOUS ASIAN PEOPLE IN AMERICA THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
Gabriel Bell
The difference is that one of those is an asshole mass murderer and the other is just Hitler
Logan Morales
Why does the Bruce Lee scene trigger /have sex/'ers so hard?
Elijah Collins
t. incel goblino
Colton Ortiz
I disagree with your hypothesis, faggot
Brayden Garcia
There were later scenes when the people he was choreographing kept landing shots. Based T was definitely mocking Bruce.
Jace Taylor
Finnish taking your meds you delusional moron. Lee got into fights on purpose in HK. He was a shit talker. That was an accurate portrayal of his personality.
Henry Butler
Why the fuck did they never mention that he was a green beret in the movie?
Kayden Price
It was Cliff thinking what would happen if he worked with Russell’s crew.
Ayden Stewart
So this board is just copying and pasting shit from reddit?
Lucas Peterson
Why are insects ugly?
Nicholas Fisher
>it was the the fact he was portrayed an assclown with a massive ego Well ya
Joshua Ortiz
Clarity: it was all in Cliff’s head. When the scene ends Cliff was back on the rooftop and said ‘nah’ implying that he thinks it’s a shit idea.
Angel Stewart
TARANTINO IS A HACK BRAD IS A MANLET HOMO LEO IS JUST SHIT
I'm not the guy you are replying to, but Bruce Lee was the first to admit that when he came to america he realized he wasn't as strong as he thought, since fighting big americans was incredibly hard.
In an interview, when asked if he could take on Mohammed Ali in a match he showed his fist and said "see this fist? This is a tiny asian man's fist, now look at his fist - it wouldn't work".
He never claimed to be unbeatable.
Levi Perry
>rich >beaten many men >swimming in kung fu movie dough >biggest asian movie star on the planet not depicted as gook or yellow face why would he even want to fight some stuntman at the height of his career. In reality he wouldnt want to give two shits about cliff or his laugh. Bruce lee didnt go around bullying people with this little man syndrome
No other girls are worthy of inclusion on this list.
Xavier Roberts
>im at a party go shill elsewhere your youtube is never going to get any views
David Sullivan
I really don't think the height of his career was the mid 60s, wasn't he just coming off the green hornet
Caleb Perez
do you know that sharon tate didn't really live? and the manson family weren't murdered? why are you asking questions about why something happened in a movie that blatantly changed history?
Jackson Nguyen
this, it was just cliff daydreaming. the rest of you are retarded.
Dominic Phillips
He was born in America
Luis Reyes
Can you really simulate hours of grueling exercise with electric shocks? I’d love to get ripped but I absolutely hate any sort of physical activity. It’d be nice to know if I could get a Herculean physique with a car battery and some jumper cables
Julian Hernandez
He went back to Hong Kong when he was three months old, i don't think he fought many linebackers in those three months, you fucking imbecile.
Gavin Bell
Yet, he died in Hong Kong.
fyi, gooks name their children by dumping a drawer full of silverware on the ground and then trying to duplicate that noise using Engrish letters.
Jose Watson
He was in Hong Kong for a while though before coming back to the states
This scene was how Brad Pitt's character recalled the situation, not entirely objective.
Easton Gutierrez
did you forget the part where the whole thing was playing out in cliff's head? and though it was brief, the part where sharon tate recalls her training with bruce lee shows him being chill and encouraging but no one's going to mention that
Jason Garcia
Bruce Lee was like that. Several reports of his non students (friends and collegues are the least trustworthy people in court for a reason) say that he was a cocky asshole.
Also he weight as much as a woman and everyone way heavier than him who knew how to fight a bit could kick his shit out.
David Morales
Alternate. Fucking. Universe.
Carson James
Post the aforementioned accounts.
Oh, wait. You still can't.
Angel Murphy
Kill yourself schizo. The white race is superior and dirty gooks must be vanished from the planet. Except their women of course who should be hold as sex slave for the superior white male.
So did everyone who writes these articles miss that this was a fantasy daydream? I was half asleep and even I got that
Colton Thomas
Where was that implied? It was right after Rick told cliff he couldn’t come work with him. And after it Cliff says fair enough.
Aiden Gomez
Cliff is fixing Rick's TV antenna like he asked After the Bruce Lee scene it cuts back to him on the roof like he was lost in thought and dismisses his fantasy
Noah Allen
Yes. And him saying “fair enough” implied it was a memory. Rick was working with the same people which is why he asked Cliff not to come. It’s clear you were half asleep.
Charles Smith
I like Bruce Lee, and have read many of his books. He was a great martial artist, and an excellent salesman.
However, he was a jerk. He was known to have been a bully in school, and in later life often behaved in aggressive and arrogant ways towards others. He was not a kind or humble man.
So, who gives a shit if he's been mocked? Fuck him.
Where the fuck did the "Bruce Lee is arrogant" meme came from? In this interview he visibly gets upset when the retarded interviewer calls him a "superstar"
Evan James
it was not a fantasy. it was a flashback explaining why it wasn't worth trying to get him a job that day.
Jacob Anderson
>However, he was a jerk. He was known to have been a bully in school, and in later life often behaved in aggressive and arrogant ways towards others. He was not a kind or humble man. source?
James Sanchez
i went to school with him. he peed in my coke
Mason Allen
It’s also not in Cliff’s character at all to be a fantasy day dreamer. Go see the movie again.
Anthony Murphy
be water, my friend
Colton James
Eh in 3 months when it's out on Blu Ray sure
Liam Taylor
you are both wasting your time, the anti lee camp is as or even more delusional than his cult.
I refuse to believe any able-bodied white man will submit or get killed by the world's shittiest guillotine.
Jack Jackson
he doesn't even really have big lats, he's just good at spreading his shoulder blades
Justin Baker
It's not a fantasy daydream. The guy Leo said doesn't want to hire him is the same guy who saw him slam Bruce Lee into the car.
Jonathan Stewart
>However, he was a jerk. No matter how much of a jerk you think he is, what he said in actuality about Muhammad Ali and what he said in the movie are polar opposites.
Literal bad fanfiction with an out-of-character Bruce Lee.
Andrew Walker
don't acknowledge these day dream cucks, there is nothing to suggest it wasn't a flashback.
Daniel Anderson
Cocaine and not eating
Zachary Williams
>asian
>In the 2018 biography Bruce Lee: A Life, Matthew Polly identifies Lee's maternal great-grandfather as Mozes Hartog Bosman, a Dutch-Jewish businessman from Rotterdam
BRUCE LEE WAS A FUCKING JEW. that's why "the media" is upset.
Josiah Martinez

Zachary Powell
is this peak natty potential?
Camden Turner
>Dutch-Jewish businessman
Joshua Foster
>I’ll automatically agree with the autistic /pol/ hot take /pol/ cucks I swear lol
Camden Clark
>NO BRUCE LEE WAS SO MAGICAL HE COULD KILL LIKE 100 DUDES AND THEN KILL ANOTHER 100 DUDES AND HE HAD NUNCHUCKS AND MADE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS AND COULD KILL A DUDE IN ONE PUNCH
It was cliff overfantasizing about how macho he is and still chased by his insecurities about maybe killing his wife The entire movie is about different hollywoodians dealing with their insecurities and is possibly Tarantella's best character-driven story yet, despite it not being as "fun" as his other stuff and having a silly ending I liked it quite a bit more than I thought I would because it had humans in it instead of Tarantino's usual pop-trivia cypher meme characters
bruce lee was a philandering asian manlet strung on metamphetamines that worked as a mascot for jews and their nigger pets
Jace Turner
>I didn't see it, there's no videos of it on YouTube, therefore it never happened.
Things happened before the internet existed. Not everyone had the misfortune of having their entire existence depicted in instagram.
Angel Bailey
You think with MMA exposing how asians cant fight people would realize Bruce Lee was a fraud. He's the same tier as Jackie Chan
Josiah Campbell
>He was portrayed as this pompous blowhard he was
Jaxson Jackson
Joe Rogan didn't like it but based Brandon Scaubb did. Idk I think it was fine and could be interpreted as a dream sequence anyways.
Dominic Foster
I thought it was cliff remembering why Randy wouldn’t hire him again
John Cook
>Bruce Lee knew what weight classes were as do many other fighters fighters have records. show me his record. only time I have ever heard of Lee competing was in HS in Hong Kong and I've still never seen any evidence for it.
Charles King
"It cant rain all the time"
Bruce Lee
Joseph Garcia
I thought that whole scene was supposed to be a daydream not a flashback
Hudson Martin
Yeah you're right, that other dipshit was looking at his fucking phone during the movie obviously.
Jace Gomez
and female jew killed hitler... who gives a fuck about cuckatino?
