And Bruce Lee was an actor with no combat experience whatsoever so idk where this disrespect accusation is coming from
Because Bruce Lee was respected by all different types of martial artists. And meant a lot for Asians in cinema/Hollywood and culture overall.

So in a movie whose main purpose was to suck on Hollywood's dikk, glorifying everyone from stuntmen, b movie actors, stars like Steve McQueen to a fukking pedophile rapist Roman Polanski, only one guy is completely shytted on along with a murderous cult :beli:

And it just so happens that movie is made by a director who is a self proclaimed student of Asian/Chinese cinema. A director whose movies are heavily 'inspired' and 'influenced' by Asian cinema.

i truly believe QT was making fun and poking at the BRUCEPLOITATION era rather than BRUCE himself.

:hubie:
Tarantino, doing press for the film in Russia, disagreed, saying Lee was actually "kind of an arrogant guy."

"The way he was talking, I didn't just make a lot of that up," Tarantino said in the video below. "I heard him say things like that, to that effect. If people are saying, 'Well he never said he could beat up Muhammad Ali,' well yeah, he did. Not only did he say that, but his wife, Linda Lee, said that in her first biography I ever read.… She absolutely said it."

Tarantino also defended the fight between Moh's Lee and Pitt's Booth, which is stopped before either wins the best of three.

"Could Cliff beat up Bruce Lee? Brad would not be able to beat up Bruce Lee, but Cliff maybe could," the Oscar winner said. "If you ask me the question, 'Who would win in a fight: Bruce Lee or Dracula?' It's the same question. It's a fictional character. If I say Cliff can beat Bruce Lee up, he's a fictional character so he could beat Bruce Lee up."

Tarantino then offered a deeper look into Pitt's character, who is referred to in the film as a "war hero" but nothing more is stated.

"The reality of the situation is this: Cliff is a Green Beret," Tarantino said. "He has killed many men in World War II in hand-to-hand combat. What Bruce Lee is talking about in the whole thing is that he admires warriors. He admires combat, and boxing is a closer approximation of combat as a sport. Cliff is not part of the sport that is like combat, he is a warrior. He is a combat person."

Continued Tarantino, "If Cliff were fighting Bruce Lee in a martial arts tournament in Madison Square Garden, Bruce would kill him. But if Cliff and Bruce were fighting in the jungles of the Philippines in a hand-to-hand combat fight, Cliff would kill him."

Cool Breh. He was an actor and didn’t compete. You act like they portrayed him like a fukking faq of pedo.

It becomes the typical QT flick. You just have to wait a while. These days if anything can keep my attention it goes into the "good" rating. This was one of those films.

Finally watched it.

I’d give it a 7-7.5/10

I enjoyed things like the dialogue and the setting of the film with most Tarantino films but I swear nobody else would ever be allowed to do a film like him.

They’d say it’s too long, dialogue is too on the nose, it’s scattered everywhere, the way the narrator just popped up at the end time, etc

The main issue with the film and had any amateur done this they would’ve got their ass pushed back, THERE WAS NO GOAL IN THE FILM.

In Django Unchained, Django is on the way to free his girl. Reservoir Dogs, it’s regarding the aftermath of a robbery.

There’s no sense of direction or guidance for the film. It’s just like Tarantino wanted to have a bunch of dialogue and had a hard on for the 60s and wanted to tie the whole Manson fiasco in the last 25 mins of the film into it.m


Btw, the acting was all fine. But I would give. The Golden globe the other day to Pesci or Pacino (preferably the former) over Pitt

The beauty of Tarantino movies is, that he gets away with that type of stuff.
