Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Actor Thinks Bruce Lee Would Have Won The Fight If It Continued

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a film that has received some mild backlash on a couple of fronts. The first has to do with Margot Robbie’s character, Sharon Tate. While she is one of the three leads in the movie, she has the fewest lines of them. Another sticking point came in the form of Bruce Lee, whose portrayal was spoken out against by his daughter Shannon, who said the following.

“He comes across as an arrogant asshole who was full of hot air, and not someone who had to fight triple as hard as any of those people did to accomplish what was naturally given to so many others.”

But that wasn’t the only problem some moviegoers had. The other issue? “How could Bruce Lee in his prime lose a fight to an aging stuntman?” Birth Movies Death had a chance to catch up with Mike Moh, who portrayed Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and here’s what he had to say.

“So let me be clear; in the film it was a challenge – “best two out of three.” I got the first point – I knocked him on his ass first. And Bruce at that time was so cocky and maybe got a little excited and he didn’t know Cliff Booth has killed dozens of people with his bare hands – and that’s what people may not realize up until that moment in the film. It’s a hugely important scene – what better way to show how dangerous Cliff is than for him to show up and even match him for a little bit with Bruce? And the only reason why I got thrown into that car is because I was so cocky, like, oh I’m going to do this again. And at that moment when I get slammed, that’s when Bruce realizes, oh s**t, this guy is not just a stunt guy. Because Bruce didn’t always have the most affection for stuntmen; he didn’t respect all of them, because he was better than all the stunt guys. So after I got slammed, I get serious. And then we get into this scuffle, which is stopped – so it’s a tie. I can see how people might think Bruce got beat because of the impact with the car, but you give me five more seconds and Bruce would have won. So I know people are going to be up in arms about it, but when I went into my deep dive of studying Bruce, he more than anybody wanted people to know he’s human. And I think I respect him more knowing that he had these challenges, these obstacles, just like everybody.”
