0:00 I want to see a Will Smith biopic played by Will Smith and his focus on his relationship with Jada Will Smith Bob pick played by August he get cucked out right now why like that that's ████ up dude that's ████ up oh that's too soon dude take that back [Music] so if you guys remember recently um there was a Bruce Lee moment in Hollywood where Bruce Lee was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood oh yeah and now Ang Lee famous director Crouching Tiger he's going to make a Bruce Lee biopic oh yeah I'm so sick you know who's gonna be Bruce Lee though who his son is this Bruce Lee the child story no this is Bruce Lee Bruce Lee has a

0:51 five-year-old for the whole movie his son's not gonna his son's not that young oh it's a biopic do you have a photo of his son he doesn't look like him but that might make it better well the thing is when you do like a Bruce Lee or a Michael Jackson like two of the most Wiggly squigglers in the world it's Unique though it's ████ hard to mimic that kind of movement ironically though there's like um they're so signature in their movement that it's mimics so well across the world I've never seen anyone mimic it well what about that little Japanese kid Bruce was different that little Japanese kid he's good for a kid but like an adult-sized man I've never seen anyone like move as good well for sure nobody can move like Bruce that's like also what made him what but it has to be

1:41 close yeah the new Watcher you're just like oh this guy's slow it has to do with Justice that's all I think I'm not a fan you have a Mike Tyson biopic and this guy is not scary you're like oh yeah you gotta be intimidating wasn't there Mike Tyson he was scary didn't Bruce uh just to carry my game over that I always do that Bruce Lee wasn't that good didn't Bruce not ever compete as a fighter dude he he was undefeated in street fights I'm just about movement he's fast as ████ it's just hard he looks like a whip he revolutionized Martial Arts Cinema okay some say that he made it into kind of a joke Amanda parody everyone else did it wasn't everybody wanting to copy him and then it was the derivatives of them yeah exactly why did you gotta go whoa and let the enemy know that you're coming because that's how good how come you don't like Bruce she's like Part White

2:31 [Laughter] actually I know why Steve doesn't like Bruce Lee because Bruce Lee was stealing white women dude did he marry white chick Linda Linda Lee but he's Part White yeah I got eighth or something recorder or a quarter maybe I didn't do something I liked about the fellow yeah 180s that was such a good one oh well to me it's absurd to uh you can't I mean he's such an icon like the real the real question is is Ang Lee's son gonna be able to top the Bruce Lee from Shaolin Soccer in terms of looks he's probably the closest he's the sick as the goalie come on so good well I mean what would you guys want to see because I I think honestly like that scene in Once Upon a Time I could have followed that character the

3:21 rest of the movie honestly so he was really good he was so good he was very good as Bruce the way he's like I thought so I thought he sucked I thought he was great what do you like about it let me suck that you wanted to be faster let me guess you wanted to be faster yeah faster because he flew up what would be wiggle better he's a little he was skinnier what kind of uh tone what you want like more action briefly or more like uh like Joker where it's dark and that you you hear is like inner thoughts like what kind of Bruce Lee movie I like an under a more understated Bruce Lee yeah I want a Will Ferrell Bruce Lee there it is that's good like a Leslie Chow Bruce Lee oh that'd be fire that'd be really good dude what would have been great as if they got David Carradine's son to play Oh Bruce Lee you know I'll ████ that is you know how ████ that is yeah because he was so David

4:11 Carradine yeah is a white actor who is cast um in kung fu and it pissed Bruce Lee off to no end uh because that was a Bruce Lee star yeah he was supposed to be he was supposed to be the starring actor but you know how it came back in the 90s as the Kung Fu Legend Continues and then his his son well the guy that played his son was like a cop and then David Carradine was the dad yeah I used to watch that series I used to watch it too I watched it too I thought it was amazing yeah me too I didn't know that he was a child he was supposed to be Chinese I had no idea oh you thought he was just mystical white guy I just thought it was a like because at the time there were a lot of white guys doing karate his rated not a mystical white guy yeah he's a mystical he mostly white yeah is Gandalf not a mystical white guy there it is uh um yeah you're right he's very mystical he's probably the most mystery he didn't

5:01 I didn't know until later on he was playing a Chinese dude and I don't know The Legend Continues and then later I I found out the Kung Fu series to get just back on what you were saying though I would like a an understated and darker tone Bruce Lee biopic I love that yeah absolutely more realistic yeah just one that doesn't have to talk as much but it's more like action based and yeah all of that or like less less dialogue I think but like what what's the story what's the lens of Bruce Lee's story that you would want to watch is the main that's the real one the real oh the actual real life yeah like him his his like like a biopic like him being a troublemaker and then finding passion in martial arts yeah and and strong in his struggles in Hollywood low-key though Jason Scott Lee in the dragon that movie

5:51 is pretty fire too that movie six five because he's pretty good dragons to me the most interesting thing about Bruce Lee was is that yes he wasn't a competition fighter but he was fighting the whole ████ time behind the scenes and that's the coolest part that's the real competition well he revolutionizes the gank exactly so I'm a big fan yeah he's my guy he's my North Star you know what about um so if they do the life story thing do you want them to put in the truth behind how he died you know how he like isn't that a mystery still kind of I mean it's like debatable but one thing that I don't know if it's true but like how he was like cheating on his wife at the end so he has another kid no like he he like when he went into cardiac or whatever he was like with a mistress at the time I thought he was with Chuck Norris the day before working out like a ████ and then the next day he died maybe but I think he

6:41 was on the set of Enter the Dragon he was at the house of that like one actress yeah yeah yeah it was holler but then like the wife kind of maintains it he wasn't cheating so it's kind of weird just keep it honorable or whatever yeah a little bit we want the truth but then yeah like what do you want in the morning there was also I think he was dabbling in a bunch of like substances which was a very experimental guy oh so they're saying something some of it could have been laced too to be fair though if you're saying Ang Lee's doing it like I'm not expecting any of that ████ oh yeah I'm like expecting Aang to do an angry movie he's probably gonna a Crouching Tiger it yeah with Bruce Lee flying in the sky with a ████ Dragon which I'm not mad at because that's what we're two gay cowboys yeah or he might Hulk it Hulk remember Hulk where you do the whole thing he did the Edward Norton one or the Eric Bana one the banner one oh

7:31 that's right that what else was it bad I didn't see that one do you remember it that was the first one right before it's pretty bad it was bad the technology was not as good what's the last hitter Angley did the last like all right black pie was huge what if my fight was great that's the last one life of why was amazing but that's a long time ago though that was a long time ago yeah are you sure maybe there might be another one you know what anglia's versatile but he only makes masterpieces though that's true that's true he makes what he wants right that's nice dude talk about life up higher than Crouching Tiger this is my ████ don't ████ around I mean the whole thing was ████ around let me see he better bring back Mr Peters the ████ tiger Richard Peters Richard Petersburg Gemini man oh that was terrible oh oh and that's angry oh boys it's not looking good that's what

8:22 Will Smith was like that's not good fighting himself right that's what he had Will Smith and angry and it still sucks what about Billy's Billy Lynn's long halftime walk do you guys remember that one I did it do you remember that one yeah dude Blockbuster hit her dude the idea of Will Smith the idea of selling Will Smith the movie be like hey you're gonna fight your younger self he's like a man wait that sucked dude I think the last couple movies that Will Smith has done nobody was like uh except for uh King Richard like that ████ was that good I didn't see it but I heard he wanted a ████ Oscar for it yeah and he slapped the guy before you know except some Rando dude I want to see a Will Smith biopic played by Will Smith and his focus on his relationship with Jada that'd be pretty cool dude we already know what that relationship Will Smith Bob pick played by August he's getting

9:13 cucked out right now why like that that's ████ up dude that's ████ up oh that's too soon dude take that back so you know that scene of uh Bruce Lee out once upon a time that that was rooted in Industry people saw Bruce Lee because my friend's Grandpa would um he's in that same circle of like Chuck Norris and his brother and all them so Chuck Norris's brother was an actual fighter he was a kickboxer he did all that stuff and his group was like the guys that basically were at the Forefront of martial arts and kickboxing in America truck was one too right he was a real fighter yeah he's a real fighter too Chuck Norris day well according to what my friend says he was the Hollywood guy the reason why he went toward that way is because he understood it but like he wasn't much of a real fighter like he wasn't like into it into it like the way that his brother was okay so then he was more like the action

10:03 fighting guy and like on camera but like he didn't want to compete as hard and and then so he went two different directions and so like they hung out in that same circle with Bruce Lee and whatever and then so Bruce Lee was around kickboxers Bruce Lee never fought but he acted like he did and so that was the inside joke I guess of the Once Upon a Time thing where like he would go up and he would challenge people and everyone's like dude like dude they're not gonna take you serious you're like the short dude and this guy's like six something and you're just trying to bully him and so there were these scenes that were always happening like on set where he would like try to bully people and that's the rumor and then I think that's so inside baseball that the outside world doesn't ████ know this ████ and then so I've heard it from rumors of people that were in like that scene or like they had a close

10:54 proximity to it because all the stories that we hear a lot of the times are like from the followers of Bruce Lee and Bruce Lee himself so if we want to be objective with it we don't know how truth Clinton Tarantino has said in an interview that he wrote that scene based off of a book that was written by another person about Bruce Lee see there's a lot of weird stuff and then the guy who wrote the book said you misunderstood what I wrote oh yeah he's like ah ████ because everyone was pissed that you know everyone was mad like Quentin tarantine I wrote him that way yeah but quentinian was like no like I got it from this is my source there's like like an interview where he really excited yeah and then the writer's like that's not what I'm saying like yeah yeah so the writer was you know his I don't know but it wasn't like he said I didn't mean it like that like it wasn't that way yeah he's like I meant he got

11:44 his ass to be way harder you throw it through the windshield cleaned his ████ clock and the car was Brown by the way but then that might be that might have just been the only uh maybe like there's a lot of sources like that but they probably don't want to be named they don't want to be like the person he is someone that's hard to diss because amongst even real Fighters he's considered the father of MMA yeah like even Dana White said it himself so it's like if you ████ on someone like that it's like you're pissing off yeah everybody everybody and he's so iconic man yeah he elevated that Martial Arts Cinema to a whole other level and then obviously Jackie and Samo and all those guys to go to the oh next time yeah yeah yeah but the Hulk foreign
