And in our feature presentation, you’ll hear an interview with Hobbs and Shaw writer/producer Chris Morgan.   Opening Banter:    In The News:   Brad - The Bruce Lee Fight in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Almost Ended Very Differently Once Upon a Time in Hollywood feedback emails Kevin H says: Could Tarantino be making a connection about Weinstein with Cliff, saying everything that I saw said he was a good person so why would I think he intentionally killed his wife or was a horrible sexual predator. Aaron S. basically suggested that Cliff’s harpoon gun may not have been loaded. David P. says: During the Spahn/Cliff “don’t you remember me?” scene — one half baked idea that just came to mind, is [hits joint] “Sleepy George Spahn represents the Academy, and Cliff represents stunt workers and how they’re not recognized, man... [long drag] these rich execs and producers and directors made their money off the backs of these hard workers, only to leave them behind as a footnote, man.” Sonic W. says: I have a different take on the movie ending.  I believe Tarantino is taking a jab at all those critics who say his movies are too violent.  If you remember, in the car, before setting out for the murder, there was a diatribe by one of the girls about  tv violence and how it has affected its viewers. Bounty Law was one of these shows, and that is who the three should go after.  In the end, it was violence that saves the day. Tarantino purposely waited til the ending to unleash this violence, save the day, and  give his critics a "take that" moment.  Ben - ‘The Eternals’ Eyes ‘Captain Marvel’ Actress Gemma Chan – But Possibly in a Different Role Brad - ‘Event Horizon’ TV Series in the Works From ‘Blair Witch’ Director Adam Wingard Ben - New ‘The Walking Dead’ Series Will Be Directed By ‘Kong: Skull Island’s Jordan Vogt-Roberts Ben - ‘Fast and Furious’ Actress Michelle Rodriguez Says Writer Chris Morgan “Has Absolutely Nothing to Do With” Where the “Justice For Han” Narrative is Going   In Our Feature Presentation: ‘Hobbs and Shaw’ Writer Chris Morgan Reveals What Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham Wanted in the Script [Interview]   Other Articles Mentioned: How the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Final Battle Was Made   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

We have a lot to cover before we get to the Chris Morgan interview.

And let's start with the Bruce Lee fight in once upon a time in

0:34.3

Hollywood I suppose we should give maybe like a loose like a vague spoiler

0:39.1

warning for once upon a time in Hollywood for those who haven't seen that yet so if you want to just

upon a time in Hollywood that is teased where Brad Pitt's character Cliff

1:05.0

shares a scene with Bruce Lee, who is played by Mike Mo.

1:10.8

And in the actual movie, the way this plays out is it's kind of a confrontational scene where Brad Pitt's character mouths off a little bit to Bruce Lee while Bruce Lee is kind of arrogantly bragging about how tough he is and how nobody can beat him in a fight and that he could even beat Cassius Clay in a fight if he wanted to.

1:30.0

And the scene has stirred up a little bit of controversy because Asian American audiences have thought that it kind of paints Bruce Lee in a negative light kind of makes them look a little bit more foolish and kind of like a bit of a dick. And even though plenty of people have said

1:45.1

Bruce Lee was kind of arrogant, they think that this scene goes too far. But the original scene actually would have made things a little bit worse because while we see Cliff and Bruce Lee go back and forth twice during this scene, there would have been a third round if you will

2:04.8

where Cliff would have actually taken a little bit more of a cheap shot at Bruce and
