Quentin Tarantino directorial which hit big screens in July this year had a scene in where Brad Pitt's character challenges a ridiculously boastful young Lee for a fight and easily manages to toss him aside.

"As long as Quentin can make some cuts, it will be released as planned," the source said.

However, no official confirmation on the same is out yet, the news has been all over the social media in China lately.

A fan outraged by the decision wrote, "Unbelievable. In the future, I'll never watch go watch movies in the theaters again. There's absolutely nothing good to watch."

It is produced by Shannon McIntosh and David Heyman.
