Despite being a comedian, Joe Rogan didn’t find Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of Bruce Lee funny. The UFC commentator bashed the movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/em>‘s portrayal of Bruce Lee on his popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast.<\/p>\n

“That was fu**ed up,” Rogan told his guest Brendan Schaub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He was a dummy in the movie. The problem was in real life, there was no evidence that he was an egomaniac dummy. He was a very interesting guy. Very insightful.”<\/p>\n

In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Bruce Lee (played by Mike Moh) fights Cliff Booth (played by Brad Pitt). At first, Lee knocks down Booth. In the second round, Booth launches Lee into a car. They then continue to strike each other before the fight is interrupted. The Bruce Lee character is presented as less-skilled, weaker and dramatic. Some fans were irritated by the representation, including Rogan and Bruce Lee’s daughter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rogan’s podcast guest, Brendan Schaub responded, “He was a philosopher and he’s brilliant. But when it comes to actual toughness, we don’t know. And you’ve heard that narrative before \u2014 that he’s not an actual tough guy.”<\/p>\n

“The problem was they made him look like a buffoon. There was no evidence that he was a buffoon…It’s a movie about a real person who has a real legacy and a bunch of people love him,” added Rogan.<\/p>\n

The movie takes inspiration from real-life characters and real-life circumstances, including the Manson Murders.<\/a><\/p>\n

“There was a lot of evidence that Bruce Lee was this brilliant, insightful guy and in that movie, they made a character of that. I didn’t like it,” Joe Rogan said.<\/p>\n

“You’re making the guy looking like a fu**ing idiot when he wasn’t an idiot.”<\/p>\n

Joe Rogan also critiqued the actor portraying Bruce Lee, Mike Moh:<\/p>\n

“The dude who played Bruce Lee was not quite shredded enough.”<\/p>\n

Brendan was not offended by Bruce Lee’s character and expected nothing less from the controversial director Tarantino. Here is the trailer, if you haven’t seen the movie already.<\/p>\n
