While Cliff is defeated within the first spherical, it’s only a trick, and the following time he proceeds to make use of Lee’s transfer to throw him over the facet of a automobile.
Tarantino was blunt on Rogan’s podcast throughout his promotion movie renewal, “I can perceive that his daughter has an issue with this. But anybody else?

But as an assassin who has killed men in the woods before, he would kill Bruce Lee.”
Shannon mentioned in an opinion piece printed on The Hollywood Reporter, “As you already know, Mr. Tarantino’s portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is, in my opinion, inaccurate and, to say the least, Was unnecessary. (Please don’t blame actor Mike Moh. He did what he could with what he gave.) And while I’m grateful that Mr. Tarantino has so generously acknowledged Joe Rogan’s portrayal of my father I’m also grateful for the opportunity to express it: I’m really tired of white people in Hollywood trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was.”
She continued, “Mr. Tarantino, you don’t need to like Bruce Lee. I don’t really care whether you like him or not. You made your movie and now, clearly, you’re a book.” But within the curiosity of respecting different cultures and experiences chances are you’ll not perceive, I encourage you to remark extra about Bruce Lee and to rethink the impression of his phrases on this planet. which requires no extra battle and fewer cultural heroes.”
Tarantino reiterates in his guide the criticism concerning the battle. He calls him an boastful one that didn’t respect American stuntmen. He claims that Lee “tagged” the stuntman, implying that he really hit him whereas filming his scenes.
