Bruce Lee’s legacy ‘flushed down the toilet’ by Quentin Tarantino in ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, says daughter
- Shannon Lee says her father comes across as arrogant – ‘not someone who had to work triple as hard to accomplish what was given to many others’
- ‘It was uncomfortable to sit in the theatre and listen to people laugh at my father’
Bruce Lee’s daughter has hit out at Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of her father in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, saying he comes across as an “arrogant a******”.
Tarantino’s latest film (be warned, spoilers lie ahead) sees Brad Pitt’s rugged stuntman character Cliff Booth get the better of Lee, played by Mike Moh, in a best-of-three-rounds fight on the set of television show The Green Hornet.
Lee knocks Booth down in the first “round”, but Booth slams him into a car door in the second round. The fight is interrupted before the third round, but it is heavily implied Booth has got the better of a stunned Lee.
ABC show The Green Hornet, on which a masked Lee played sidekick Kato, gave him a foot in the door before he became a martial arts superstar.
