Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” will have to wait a while to see those Chinese dollars due to the country halting the film’s release over its depiction of Bruce Lee.

“The film was originally set to hit theaters in the Middle Kingdom on Oct. 25 after having received approval from Chinese censors,” reports Variety. “But an exhibitor source told Variety that the movie has been ‘temporarily put on hold’ because the daughter of Bruce Lee has filed a complaint to China’s National Film Administration about the on-screen depiction of her late father, a hero to many Chinese.”
