In an interview, Shannon complained that the director put her father an arrogant "pear for beating," although Bruce himself did not challenge the challenges to others, since all his strength was leaving to take her place in Hollywood. At a press conference in Moscow, Tarantino responded to this remark:
Bruce Lee was a arrogant guy. I did not invent all his tunes to communicate. I heard him saying like. Someone may argue: they say, he never stated that Mohammed Ali could beat. But no, he spoke. It even confirmed his wife Linda Lee in his memoirs.
Shannon Lee remained very unhappy with this answer:
He could just shut up. It would be very nice on his part. Or he could apologize and say: "I really didn't know how Bruce Lee was, and invented his image for the film, so it is not necessary to take everything for a clean coin."
She added that he did not consider her father an ideal person, but I am sure that critical feedback on which Tarantino relies belongs to the white men who once amounted to Bruce Competition.
She also accused the director in an attempt to stream on two chairs at once:
He could portray Bruce Lee, as he was pleased, and he did it. But it was rather hypocritically to say: "Well, Bruce is such as he was in life, but this is a fictional plot, so do not worry about it."
