“They didn’t work out some money thing!” Tarantino protested when Rogan brought it up as a possibility about what happened between the action star and the studio. “If that were true…if I were the Lee family, I’d be mad at Warner Bros., wouldn’t you? To rip me off so bad? Who does Bruce Lee do his first film with, ‘ Enter The Dragon?’ Warner Bros!” Tarantino went on to say that if it was Warner Bros was the one at fault, the Lee family would have easily sued. He had all the information, he had all the documentation of how he wrote the script and how he came up with Kwai Chang Caine. “He said, ‘When I called Ed up, he was like ‘Oh my god,’ it was the phone call he had been waiting forty years for.’ Because he’s had to put up with this all this time. “I talked to the author of ‘Bruce Lee ’, Matthew Polley,” Tarantino further explained.

Either he created Kwai Chang Caine, or Bruce Lee did. Well, this is pretty clear, Ed Spielman either ripped off Bruce Lee’s treatment for ‘The Warrior,’ or he didn’t. Then they wrote ‘Kung-Fu, and they read Bruce Lee’s but decided not to use him cause they’re racist, and boom, they cast David Carradine. “In the book, she claims, that Bruce had written this idea for a TV show called ‘The Warrior’ and that Warner Bros. “She wrote this biography, which was the first biography I’d ever read,” he continued.

Quentin Tarantino Started Writing A ‘Reservoir Dogs’ Novelization & Reveals His New Stage Play Is ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’ Long story short, it was widely believed among fans (thanks to the 1993 biopic “ Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story” and a 1978 biography about Lee that his widow Linda Lee wrote) that “Warrior” was stolen from Lee and turned into “Kung Fu,” a similar series that became a massive hit. Rogan asks, “Kung Fu” was originally supposed to star Bruce Lee, right? The backstory is the “Kung Fu Vs.

The short version: you’ll remember upon the time of the release, people complained about the treatment of Lee in Tarantino’s film, depicting him as cocky and arrogant. Following his disparaging remarks about Bruce Lee in the recent podcast conversation he had on the Joe Rogan show about his “ Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” novelization and his whole career, people are angry and upset.
