I know that I'll probably get blasted for this, but I really am sick and tired of others accusing posters of being hardcore "fanboys" just because they defend their opinion. I'll agree, there are those that just can't be convinced even with proof. But some of you others just jump too soon to call them extreme fanboys, ones that won't listen to reason. There are those, yes, but not everyone who defends there opinion is one.
I have seen a large number (almost all every one) of Bruce Lee's movies. I have read his "Tao of Jeet Kune Do" and many other books about him and his fighting. I have also seen almost every Jacke Chan movie there is, he is incredible to say the least. And, in case you didn't see it coming, I have also seen almost every Jet Li movie there has been as well. And just to not be a "movie fanboy", I have also read much on each of the three, know very much about their histories, and know their array of fighting styles very well.
In my completely unbiased opinion, this fight would go to Bruce Lee. Not many people know this, but he moved too fast for almost everyone to keep up with, and that's INCLUDING the camera. This is no lie, it is a proven fact from all of his movies. When they first began shooting the movies, they literally couldn't see Bruce's motions for a punch (for example), only a very faint blur because the film could not keep up, even with its 24 frames per second. So they actually had to have him slow down his movements from his first movies and on, or else no one would ever know what was going on.
And it's not just speed, though that is a major factor. He is also incredibly strong. He developed the One-Inch-Punch. He would only need to place his hand only his fingers' length away from his target, and then punch with all his might. This proved to be more than many of the top martial artists of his day could handle. I have LITERALLY seen (and own the video) of Bruce Lee One-Inch-Punching this guy literally 10-15 away and making him fall over. The guy was ready and prepared for it and everything.
And let's not forget his fighting style, Jeet Kune Do, the one that he actually invented and developed himself. Jeet Kune Do is a different kind of martial art because it revolves around adapting to any form of attack or defense. It is also all about winning, no matter what. No styles, no crazy stances. Just whatever it takes to get the job done.
I'm not going to even go into the rage factor here. And yes, Bruce did indeed have one, and no, not like a comic character or anything. But it would enable him to just crazy on an opponent, completely decimating him.
Again, don't get me wrong. I think Jackie and Jet are INCREDIBLE, AMAZING martial artists, the top of their game really. I have such high respect for them. They are probably the top right now, in this era of our world. But Bruce is a legend for a reason.
I think the better thread should've been Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li. Now that would be a much closer match in my opinon.
Bruce wins. It's sheer fact.
