Tarantino concluded, “If Cliff were fighting Bruce Lee in a martial arts tournament in Madison Square Garden, Bruce would kill him. He spends most of his time drinking and palling around with Cliff Booth, his easygoing best friend and longtime stunt double. Cliff is not part of the sport that is like combat, he is a warrior. Actor Rick Dalton gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television Western, but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesnt recognize anymore.

But on a set, he’s not gonna show off.” He added, “Bruce Lee would have never said anything derogatory about Muhammad Ali because he worshiped the ground Muhammad Ali walked on.” Maybe he was cocky in as far as martial arts because he was very sure of himself. Inosanto said, “He was never, in my opinion, cocky. Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, and his protégé and training partner Dan Inosanto aired their grievances with the scene to Variety in July.
