Is it libelous or true? Are you assuming?
You have to realize this is a person who was mythologized. A person who millions believe is the best fighter ever despite never having been put to the test. A great person who accomplished a lot, but reality never quite matches up with perception of the masses.
- keiferski 3y agoFrom what I’ve read online, Lee never claimed he could beat Muhammad Ali, as he does in the film. In fact he said the opposite. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-lee-thought-muhammad-ali-would-kill-him-in-fight/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bruce-lee-thought-muhammad-ali-... That seems pretty misleading to me.
- johnla 3y agoNear-libelous is fitting. I'm a Bruce fanatic since childhood and there are a lot of personal accounts of Bruce and they never painted him as the guy in Tarantino's movie. I love Tarantino but that was bad. Tarantino likes to play with his characters but in this case Bruce was a real person and a hero to a generation(s). That was unfair to do that to a real person for some comedy.
