Haha always. The little pricks.
It still amuses me ST that people; still believe, BL is anything but an actor who was good at Kung Fu and believe that he is some kind of invincible mystic fighter, as we know Martial Artists of any cloth are just skilled athletes.
I blame it on the movies really. Hollywood is rife with inaccuracies: people kicked through walls; wushu actually being effective; street thugs shooting people from nearly a mile away with a pistol; sound in space; Tom Cruise not getting shot like 3 billion times in MI:2; Beyonce, Channing Tatum, and Megan Fox being good actors; etc

All true; however, with Bruce, because of the self promotion before he died and the promotion by others after, it gets crazy.

It's just fetishism with the mysterious, mythical "East". Some people pop a boner for anything from Asia.
An extract from The making of Enter the Dragon
Bruce was screening a Cassius Clay documentry. Ali was world heavyweight champion at the time and Bruce saw him as the greatest fighter of them all. Bruce set up a wide full length mirror to reflect Ali's image from the screen. Bruce was looking into the mirror, mirroring along with Ali. Bruce's right hand followed Ali's right hand. Ali's left foot followed Bruce's left foot.
Bruce was fighting in Ali's shoes.
"Everybody says I must fight Ali some day" Bruce said, "Im studying every move he makes, Im getting to know how he thinks and moves".
Bruce knew he could never win a fight against Ali. "Look at my hands" he said. "Thats a little chinese hand. He'd kill me"
