In a new interview Shannon Lee said that her father “could have a temper sometimes, but he did not go around challenging people to fights.”
Lee referred to the way her late father and Asian-American actor Bruce Lee was portrayed in Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
She criticized the scene where an actor playing the part of Bruce Lee challenges a stuntman on set to a fight and gets laughed at and mocked for his arrogance.
The decision by the director to show Bruce Lee in the way he was portrayed meant that Quentin Tarantino treated hum “the way white Hollywood [did] when he was alive”, Shannon Lee added.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was released in 2018, after which Shannon Lee first criticized the fight scene. Later she admitted to have been disappointed by Tarantino’s response to her reaction.
Chinese-American actor Bruce Lee died in 1973, after “hypersensitive reaction to an ingredient in the pain medication that caused a swelling of the fluid on the brain, resulting in a coma and death.”
