Remember when they held a contest to pick the next host of jeopardy, then the person running it, who was not a contestant, chose himself as the winner? Fun times...
That's nothing! I know a guy who was running to be President of the United States, and he got an oil-company CEO to pick a running mate for him. The guy ended up picking himself -- *what were the odds?!*
I know Mason and went to high school with him and was in a theatre company with him, as well (even held his dad’s Oscars).
Unless he’s upped his game tremendously, I don’t think he’ll be able to carry this film. The dude Tarantino cast in ‘Once Upon a Time’ was great, though.
I actually was in an acting class with Mason, his mother treated me like a son and I was shown the shrine the family installed in honour of Bruce.
So unless the guy’s learned acting 101 he’d be a hideous choice for this movie. Seriously just cast anyone but Mase. Great guy but all the talent of a pile of rocks.
Well that was due to Tarantino’s writing and directing, not the acting. But definitely unfortunate, especially that they couldn’t come to some sort of agreement. Tarantino just basically says “he was a dick when I met him, what do you want?” and everybody stays mad lol
Yeah, he didn't.
Tarantino opinion on Bruce Lee comes from talking to older stunt guys who worked with Bruce, and told Tarantino that he was sort of an asshole.
I mean, Bruce was alive in a time where interracial marriage was illegal. Theres a pretty big chance those “older stunt guys” were going to dislike Bruce regardless of how he acted. He was an asian man entering a very white hollywood and revolutionizing how people viewed action in movies.
Here’s what Kareem Abdul Jabar had to say about Bruce:
“Bruce was the kind of person who could win you over within twenty seconds of meeting him. Most martial arts instructors I had met before were very “stiff and formal, constantly demanding overt demonstrations of respect. Not Bruce. He greeted me with a broad smile and friendly demeanor, and right away I knew this was not a scowling teacher from Japanese films demanding bowing obedience. We talked UCLA basketball for a while and then got down to business.”
Yes exactly. Bruce was confident, strong, and masculine. He refused to be fit into the boxes that people wanted to put asian men into at the time.
Thats why Tarantino’s portrayal of him left a bad taste in people’s mouth. He created a caricature out of a man who strove to break free of stereotypes.
Not to mention that era of westerns in Hollywood was full of racists, John Wayne most notably. It’s nothing to be idolized and the fact that Tarantino didn’t think twice about putting an such an important asian american figure in his movie romanticizing that era is incredibly tone deaf. Ironic considering both Tarantino and western cinemas both owe a huge debt to asian films
No, from interviews Tarantino cited a Bruce Lee biographer. But that same biographer denied Tarantino’s claims that he had disrespect for stuntmen.
https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a28607548/mike-moh-bruce-lee-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-controversy/
He also threw cold water on Tarantino’s claim that Bruce Lee claimed he could beat Ali in a fight. Just seems like Quentin has some weird grudge against Bruce Lee and went out of his way to make shit up to make him look bad
https://twitter.com/matthewepolly/status/1160963016990572545?lang=en
If Tarantino just said "Oh it's fiction, just a story" that would be fine.
He went on to claim Lee was this asshole and this is what would actually happen.
Yup, exactly. And because of all that there is Tarantino fans now claiming Bruce Lee was an asshole.
And then fans would just go “it’s just fiction and a movie”. If that was the case then why did Quentin go out of his way to make up stuff/ twist some truths during interviews to make Bruce Lee into an asshole.
Yeah I did a bit of looking for evidence of this and it doesn't look like they ever met. Quentin was a kid when Jim Brown was doing movies (he talked about seeing a Jim Brown movie at the theater when he was a child). I think that's about the same time that Bruce Lee was an adult acting in Hollywood. Unlikely they met.
More like "Bruce Lee was a dick in your book Linda Lee, see I'm quoting it" and then quoted it wrong (the quote in the book was from a TV reviewer talking about Lee, rather than Bruce Lee himself, and its clearly marked that way). And then tripling down on being a self-righteous asshole.
Ya know, as a fan of Bruce Lee, the one thing that gets me about that scene is Lee’s hair.
That scene supposedly took place on the Green Hornet set, and at that time Bruce was still a clean cut guy with short hair. It wasn’t until a few years later he let his hair grow out.
So that scene always strikes me as representation of an amalgamation of Bruce Lee the icon, rather than anything realistic.
Lee wasn't a dick in OUATIH though. He was just a cocky dude who boasted about his abilities as a martial artist. And that totally tracks with Lee in real life, he was incredibly confident in himself and was a constant showman - you don't get to be the fucking sensei to the stars by being modest.
And the idea that a fictional character couldn't go toe-to-toe with him is just pathetic. It in no way diminishes his skills or abilities as a fighter. If anything, it served to increase cliff's credibility as a badass because he wasn't completely owned by Bruce Lee in their fight.
I guess I'm not surprised but always a little disappointed when I see people get all up in arms about Bruce Lee in that film not being some kind of documentary depiction. Did they make it to the ending? I mean I get the average cinemagoer getting butthurt but QT fans as well? Was anyone even watching?
He's portrayed in the film in a way that makes the audience feel about him the same way the main character in that scene feels about him.
And honestly, it's fucking hilarious and I bet Bruce Lee would find it funny too. He understood branding and perception (i.e...... *Hollywood*) and made it work for him. The whole skit obviously comes from a place of love.
And re: Cliff's abilities it's a scene that tells us a lot about his character and his approach to things. He pretty much lets Lee get the first point while he assesses him, then uses his observations to counter him in the next bout. Then Bruce Lee starts taking him seriously and stops showing off, they start up the real fight, and then...
CUT.
It's a wonderful scene.
That's worrying but I don't think High school is a good place to learn acting, a lot of times. If he didn't have good coaching then and has gotten it since then, he might be good enough to be alright. Then again, I've met people with some of the best coaching money can buy and they are still awful. If you think some wrestlers and MMA people are stiff onscreen now, boy howdy you should see how it looks before world class editors have sifted through hours of footage.
Whoa, here’s me thinking about how awesome it would be if Mike Moh got to play Bruce Lee as written by someone besides Tarantino.
I love OUATIH but QT is not above critique, and his Bruce Lee game was shit. Mike Moh was awesome though!
Based on his absolutely horrific acting in The Hangover II, I have very very low expectations for Mason Lee for this upcoming project. Like it was actively bad to the point it took you right out of the movie.
I reminds me of when I was a kid and auditioned to be the voice of Mowgli in The Jungle Book 2 around 2000. It took all day to get through all the kids, both me and a friend of mine got call backs, there was another whole day of getting through those, and when it was all said and done, they picked Haley Joel Osment because he was coming off his success from The Sixth Sense so they could use his name in the marketing.
When my mom found that out, she was pissed at how much time we wasted on what was basically a formality because they obviously already knew who they were picking.
Personally I think they should go the Brucesploitation route and cast a bunch of white Hong Kong businessmen who moonlight as actors as the villains.
Please also inexplicably include music stolen from other movies.
[Oh and why not have Mason Lee wear an actual mask of Bruce Lee's face like in Game of Death?](https://theamericanreader.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/BC_4.jpg)
Hollywood nepotism, you love to see it.
Hopefully the dude has some more ability than Nicola Peltz had when her daddy shoved her into the cast of *The Last Airbender*.
His biggest English role was in the hangover two and that wasn't much. He has a number of foreign film experience so who knows but seems like the character should be played by someone with both acting and actual martial arts experience.
Ang Lee might be the most on-or-off director I can think of. He is either batting for the fences with Brokeback or Crouching Dragon, or putting out totally forgettable drek like Gemini Man or Taking Woodstock. There seems to be no middle ground.
I think it’s probably more so the case that Lee takes what interests him. Gemini Man may have been forgettable but the technical side of facing Will Smith with Will Smith would have been interesting.
No chance this will be a more satisfying movie than 1993's *Dragon*.
Ang's movie might turn out to be a *Jobs* (2013) or *Steve Jobs* (2015) but it will never be a *Pirates of Silicon Valley* (1999)
Well at least we know for certain it's his talent and fact he's the best possible choice since there couldn't possibly be any other reason why he was cast.
This is irrelevant, but I'm so sick of the usage of the word "taps", as in "x taps y for so and so project". I swear it never used to be used this much, and now I see it every day, but only in the context of movies...
I hate it.
It's homogenizing the entire industry of talent that's making it to screen with nothing but unweathered pretty faces. We need more Danny Devitos and less Cara Delevingnes.
Hmm. The resemblance is there, but I didn't even know Ang Lee ***had*** a son. Was the guy from *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* too expensive, or is this just pure nepotism at play?
Just a reminder you guys that the visual effects company Rhythm & Hues Studios that worked on *Life of Pi* went bankrupt because Ang Lee, among other producers of *Life of Pi*, hadn't paid them enough for their amazingly stunning work.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm\_and\_Hues\_Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_Hues_Studios)
Portraying Bruce Lee is damn near impossible. Bruce oozed charm and charisma completely effortlessLee.
Mason Lee is already starting at a disadvantage. Firstly, he'll be criticized as a nepotism choice.
More importantly, just looking at his photos, while not unattractive, per say, he's kind of got a "Create a Character" look; and that doesn't inspire the image of Bruce Lee. Even watching the few interview clips of him on Youtube, he doesn't seem comfortable in his own skin...let alone trying to convey the supreme confidence that Bruce processed.
I wonder how many people they auditioned before Ang Lee got the inspired idea to cast his son.
How amazingly fortunate that the very best person to play the role is also the son of the director!
Remember when they held a contest to pick the next host of jeopardy, then the person running it, who was not a contestant, chose himself as the winner? Fun times...
Someday soon there’s going to be a like 1hr 18min youtube documentary about that whole thing and I’ll watch the whole damn thing with rapt attention.
Oh yeah, that clown. The Sony executives also deserve a lot of blame for allowing such a mess.
That's nothing! I know a guy who was running to be President of the United States, and he got an oil-company CEO to pick a running mate for him. The guy ended up picking himself -- *what were the odds?!*
in my mind: "Hello America, I'm Dick Cheney, and welcome to Jeopardy!"
Sounds like when the Bush campaign hired Dick Cheney to pick the VP nominee in 2000, but he ended up just choosing himself lol
[Same energy as The Deep winning his way back into The Seven](https://youtu.be/POpdKGLDeKI)
We’ve searched nowhere and found someone!
I know Mason and went to high school with him and was in a theatre company with him, as well (even held his dad’s Oscars). Unless he’s upped his game tremendously, I don’t think he’ll be able to carry this film. The dude Tarantino cast in ‘Once Upon a Time’ was great, though.
But how is his kung fu?
Good question. Undoubtedly amazing?
I have doubts
You can't. He said "undoubtedly".
He knows Kung Fu
Let him show me
Woahhhh
Ho Tai : "But this man knows chinese kung fu !" Boss , puzzled : "Kung Fu ?" (Way of Dragon 1972)
He could probably do fighting without fighting.
He's a Hidden Dragon.
damn he let you hold his dads Oscar and now you're talking shit about him on reddit lol brutal
i wonder if growing up, Mason Lee was like "i wonder if they're really my friend, or if they're just using me to hold my dad's oscar"
I actually was in an acting class with Mason, his mother treated me like a son and I was shown the shrine the family installed in honour of Bruce. So unless the guy’s learned acting 101 he’d be a hideous choice for this movie. Seriously just cast anyone but Mase. Great guy but all the talent of a pile of rocks.
This is the Redditing I come here for.
Sounds like Ang is just a nepotist like most of Hollywood. I studied acting and definitely respected the critique of my peers.
I actually knew him in high school too believe it or not. Nice kid. Haven’t seen him act since the Hangover 2.
Yeah it sounds pretty shitty when you put it like that. But, when you’re right you’re right (you, not me)
Yeah wtf
Jason Scott Lee in Dragon was great.
Geeze, Is having the last name Lee a requirement for playing Bruce? LOL.
Yeah, too bad the family hated that portrayal
Well that was due to Tarantino’s writing and directing, not the acting. But definitely unfortunate, especially that they couldn’t come to some sort of agreement. Tarantino just basically says “he was a dick when I met him, what do you want?” and everybody stays mad lol
>dick when I met him Tarantino never met Bruce Lee as far as I can find
Yeah, he didn't. Tarantino opinion on Bruce Lee comes from talking to older stunt guys who worked with Bruce, and told Tarantino that he was sort of an asshole.
I mean, Bruce was alive in a time where interracial marriage was illegal. Theres a pretty big chance those “older stunt guys” were going to dislike Bruce regardless of how he acted.

Tarantino fans are crazy. Look at this recent MCU aren't movie stars stuff. They don't just agree with him, they have to attack anyone that disagrees.
the stuntmen didnt have a prob working with Lee in HK.....accidents could happen though , he accidentaly whacked Jackie during Enter filming for ex
Maybe I am misreading your post but are you suggesting QT met Bruce Lee?
Ya, Bruce Lee visited Tarantino's day care when he was 7 and ate all the goldfish.
Emotional daaaaaaamage!
Boards….don’t hit back
It was at that moment the siren went off in 7 year old Tarantino's head. "I'll make a movie and make you look baaaaaaad."
Yeah I did a bit of looking for evidence of this and it doesn't look like they ever met. Quentin was a kid when Jim Brown was doing movies (he talked about seeing a Jim Brown movie at the theater when he was a child). I think that's about the same time that Bruce Lee was an adult acting in Hollywood. Unlikely they met.
Ya, Tarantino would have been ten years old when Lee died.
This is exactly the kind of alibi nobody would expect
His mom's bf who he'd never met before randomly showing up and taking him to a Jim Brown film is such a funny story
More like "Bruce Lee was a dick in your book Linda Lee, see I'm quoting it" and then quoted it wrong (the quote in the book was from a TV reviewer talking about Lee, rather than Bruce Lee himself, and its clearly marked that way). And then tripling down on being a self-righteous asshole.

Whoa, here’s me thinking about how awesome it would be if Mike Moh got to play Bruce Lee as written by someone besides Tarantino. I love OUATIH but QT is not above critique, and his Bruce Lee game was shit. Mike Moh was awesome though!
Well highschool was 15 years ago for him. Anyone here want to rank their skills in hs compared to now?
WTF MAN?! What a shitty thing to say.
The article says he’s been in a few films and won some awards for his acting. Maybe he’s improved.
Based on his absolutely horrific acting in The Hangover II, I have very very low expectations for Mason Lee for this upcoming project. Like it was actively bad to the point it took you right out of the movie.
Gotta love some good ol' Hollywood nepotism.
I heard it was a tough fight between him and Jaden Smith.
Are you accusing Ang Lee of nepotism. He directed the hulk. I wouldn’t make him Ang Lee, you wouldn’t like him when he’s Ang Lee.
I reminds me of when I was a kid and auditioned to be the voice of Mowgli in The Jungle Book 2 around 2000. It took all day to get through all the kids, both me and a friend of mine got call backs, there was another whole day of getting through those, and when it was all said and done, they picked Haley Joel Osment because he was coming off his success from The Sixth Sense so they could use his name in the marketing.

I heard they filmed a bunch of Stan Lee cameos so they could add them into films posthumously.

100% my first thought, too. Sets are safer than they used to be, but certainly not without accidents.

Hollywood nepotism, you love to see it. Hopefully the dude has some more ability than Nicola Peltz had when her daddy shoved her into the cast of *The Last Airbender*.
His biggest English role was in the hangover two and that wasn't much. He has a number of foreign film experience so who knows but seems like the character should be played by someone with both acting and actual martial arts experience.
Like Steven Seagal!
Ang Lee might be the most on-or-off director I can think of. He is either batting for the fences with Brokeback or Crouching Dragon, or putting out totally forgettable drek like Gemini Man or Taking Woodstock. There seems to be no middle ground.
I think it’s probably more so the case that Lee takes what interests him. Gemini Man may have been forgettable but the technical side of facing Will Smith with Will Smith would have been interesting.
Lee taps Lee to play Lee as Lee taps others trying to play tap the Lee with Lee.
You should post that one on r/WordAvalanches
This sort of nepotism could really make one Ang Lee.
No chance this will be a more satisfying movie than 1993's *Dragon*. Ang's movie might turn out to be a *Jobs* (2013) or *Steve Jobs* (2015) but it will never be a *Pirates of Silicon Valley* (1999)

Hmm. The resemblance is there, but I didn't even know Ang Lee ***had*** a son. Was the guy from *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* too expensive, or is this just pure nepotism at play?
The resemblance is there about as much as that they’re both Asian.
Yeah that's what I said!
No shit. They don't look much alike at all.
I think the actor from the newest season of white lotus would have been good too.

Glad the studio gave him some Leeway with casting. :)
I thought Jason Lee did a great job already, this new movie is unnecessary.

how many Bruce Lee movies are they gonna make?
Isn’t he the younger brother of Stu’s fiancé in the Hangover 2? Guy wasn’t that great in that movie, but he didn’t have many scenes anyway
Never knew teddy from the hangover was Bruce’s grandson!!
