The Joe Rogan experience another thing in once upon a time in Hollywood that
got controversial was the Bruce Lee scenes
Yeah, yeah, yeah a lot of people felt like you you made Bruce Lee into an
asshole. Yeah, well, okay, that's okay
I'm a little hesitant to talk about this because I don't want like this to be
the only thing
All right people pull from from this show
But I figured you were gonna bring it up especially because I've heard you guys
go back and forth on it and a little bit
I mean where I'm coming from is
I
Can understand his daughter
Having a problem with it. It's her fucking father. All right, I get that but
anybody else go suck a dick
You know and the thing about it though is like, you know, even if you just look
at it
It's obvious click cliff tricked him
That's how he was able to do it. He tricked them. Mm-hmm. You know, it's like
I it's it's it's explained more in the book, but the thing is like they they do
a they do a three fall a two falls out of three
Contest mm-hmm
So cliff loves shit like that, you know, I and he has a method and his method
is to give the guy the first fall
Okay, do your fucking move dude, right? Let me see your move
All right, he gives them no resistance whatsoever
the guy does the move he knocks him on his ass and
Cliff and there's like four different ways Bruce could have come at him the
second time that Cliff wouldn't would have had very little defense against
but
Most of the time if if a guy has a particular move and it looks like the guy's
a long kid
Just a big mouth who can't really defend himself. They do the second move again.
I
Mean they do the first move again. Mm-hmm second time. Well now cliff knows
what it is
So he prepares for it he pivots he catches him he throws his ass into the car,
right?
You know and now the third time will be the charming gets broken up
But he just tricked him and Bruce realized he got tricked if it hadn't been so
vicious he could have even appreciated it
Do you know about the history of oh, yeah gene gene labelle? Yeah, of course.
Did you research that?
Yeah
Well, I've always known it and everything and like well the stuntman hated
Bruce really on
On a Green Hornet. No, it's in the it's in Matthew Polley's book and before
that it's always been known
That's why gene labelle was brought on
To teach Bruce respect for American stomach Bruce had nothing but disrespect
for stuntmen and he was always hitting them
He was always hitting them with his feet. He was always tagging. It's called
tagging
Hmm when you when you hit a stuntman for real
And he was always tagging him with his feet
He was always tagging him with his fist and they and they and they got to be
the point where like no
I refuse to work with them
Really? And he had nothing but disrespect for American stuntmen
Huh, that's interesting. I wonder what that was about. I wonder what his
perspective would have been if somebody asked him to explain it
It's like bow. They're just not good enough. They're their pussies. Mmm. I'm
gonna make it look real
Okay, so he was hitting them to make it look real. Yeah, yeah, but they don't
like that. No
That's unprofessional well that is unprofessional, but that's been done before
in a bunch of movies by people that people say are assholes
Yeah, I ended up in the yeah, and well, and yeah, and and um
You know and actually somebody else who had a reputation pretty similar to
Bruce Lee's in that regards was like Robert Conrad
Oh, yeah during that time. Yeah, and you know
He did a lot of his own stunts and he did some really really gnarly shit
But if you and I've always been a big fan of Robert Conrad, but you know in the
stunt community
He was known as Robert never met a stuntman. He couldn't blame Conrad
mmm
The stunt world is a fucking crazy world because they're the people that
occasionally die making movies. Yeah, absolutely
Which is just nuts and look and the thing about it is also
Cliff is a hand-to-hand combat killer
He you know, you know, he fought in World War two he fought with the Filipino
resistant fighters, you know in the Philippines against the Japanese
If cliff
If cliff
Fought Bruce Lee at one of Aaron banks's Madison Square Garden
Tournaments, Cliff wouldn't stand a chance against Bruce Lee at a Madison
Square Garden martial arts tournament
But in a as a killer who has killed men before in a jungle he'd kill Bruce Lee
He'd fucking kill him Bruce Lee's not a killer
Bruce Lee's never really let loose on anybody. He's always had to keep it
together in a martial arts tournament kind of
Kind of kind of way if he's actually facing a guy who could actually kill him
It's a different story, you know, it's it's it's it's in the book Bruce Lee
realizes
When Cliff takes a hand-to-hand a military hand-to-hand combat stance, you know,
he really is. Oh shit. This guy's a killer
This guy's not fighting me. He's fighting his instinct to kill me
