Delighted to get name checked by Quentin Tarantino (one of my fav directors) on @joerogan show.
But to clarify, my biography of Lee DID NOT say that "Bruce had nothing but disrespect for American stuntmen." (1/4)

What I said in my book is that Bruce wanted to change American fight choreography so that the blows would miss by millimeters rather than by feet (aka the John Wayne punch) in order to better sell the technique. (2/4)
But in the process, Bruce did bang up some of the stuntmen on the Green Hornet, which pissed them off. So they asked Gene LeBell to settle Bruce down. (3/4)
It wasn't an issue of disrespect but a difference in fight choreography philosophy and style.
