Bruce Lee adored Muhammad Ali and would never show off on set, says protégé on ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ debate
- Dan Inosanto, who starred with martial arts superstar in ‘Game of Death’, weighs in on Quentin Tarantino controversy
- Filipino-American says late kung fu actor would always have shown humility
Dan Inosanto, the man who helped Bruce Lee introduce the world to “nunchucks” and starred with the late martial arts superstar in Game of Death, weighed in on the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood scene debate involving his former training partner and great friend.
Inosanto is one of Bruce Lee’s proteges and vice versa with the Filipino-American credited with teaching the Hong Kong superstar to use nunchucks or nunchaku, the traditional Okinawan martial arts weapon consisting of two sticks connected at one end by a short chain or rope.
Bruce Lee first introduced nunchucks in the films in Fist of Fury and again in The Way of the Dragon before Inosanto was cast in Lee’s unfinished film Game of Death, where the pair go at each other in one of Lee’s most memorable fighting scenes.
