No, it is fake…even the part where it looks like 1973.

if it was fake, that would explain why I had never seen it before.
Here’s another link to an interview with the ad agency that created it.

The Bruce Lee bullshit is overblown. He was an actor, like Jackie Chan, and probably not much more dangerous.
Will there be no end to this ridiculousness…[/quote]
statements like this infuriate me to no end. Just cause a guy happened to make some movies, that suddenly erases his entire background of martial arts. many have done that with stephen seagal. Bruce lee started training at a very young age. he studied many different forms of martial arts. He went on to create his own unique fighting style. How many men can claim that? Hes just an actor? Thats truly laughable.
before he ever acted, he owned his own martial arts school. ASk chuck norris how good bruce lee was. hes been recorded as saying he was an incredible martial artist, and thats coming from a world karate champion. (yes, chuck norris was a world champion. at the time the big fight, that never happened, was chuck norris vs Bill superfoot wallace. they even made a movie together, but for some reason that fight never happened.
I hate those people that say, “oh, he was just an actor.” just cause a guy makes a movie or 2, so what. that doesn’t take away what he knows in martial arts. [/quote]
Wait - who gives a fuck about any of this?
Lots of dipshits own their own martial arts school and can’t fight worth a shit. Lots of guys “Create” their own fighting style or train in the Misty Mountains of China for a decade and come back super warriors.
It’s amazing that for how remarkable and legendary this dude is, there’s not one goddamned tape of him beating someone’s ass - all just second and third hand accounts.
Whatever. I’m a super invincible badass streetfighter too, just go as my cousin and his buddy in Hong Kong, they’ll swear it’s true.
Christ. [/quote]
Whatever man, they didn’t have cameras in those days. [/quote]
LOL. Right, they used magic boxes to film all of his movies.[/quote]
Methinks he was being facetious…[/quote]
That’s what I thought too; my comment was an add-on rather than a rebuttal.[/quote]
You are both wrong. I am 100% serious. They didn’t invent video cameras until the early 1980s, long after Lee was dead. Go look it up and educate yourselves.
[/quote]
Errrr…I don’t believe that his legend is complete hyperbole, but your argument is pretty insane.
You know that the use of personal motion picture cameras has been around since the 1920’s in America?
By the time Bruce Lee was famous and at his peak Super 8mm cameras were all over.
Lots of famous movie directors got their start using them.
There might not have been cameras that used video, but they damn sure used film.
So…what was your point?[/quote]
lol. Were you, too, giving an “add-on rather than a rebuttal?”
Is it sacrilege to say I like Frank Zane more than Arnold or Bruce?
That is a beautiful man.

Oh my mother freaking god. I had never seen that before. Oh no, thats not impressive, is it, lol. I won’t even quantify how impressive that was. Its like watching something and not beleive your eyes while watching it.[/quote]
Dude, I’m a licensed instructor in the use of nunchuks. I love Bruce Lee and I’m not part of the whole YouTube/video or it didn’t happen generation, but come on. If you think any of that shit is even remotely possible then you have no place in this thread whatsoever. I’m a fucking expert with nunchuks and while it is definitely possible for Lee to have hit the ping pong balls in this video in the manner that he does, it is completely impossible to hit them with any sort of accuracy whatsoever.
I didn’t even watch the video when I mentioned it was fake (though I did watch it a few years ago when it came up on the net somewhere) and to think that what was done there could be real…that a movie star who does martial arts could play ping pong with what I’d assume to be at least an adequate real ping pong player and then play against two and still win…hell, they could’ve thrown Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster in there and I guess some people would believe it.
Maybe they should’ve had Bruce Lee play against himself! He could jump over the table in time to return his own serve!
Loopy bloody thread.
Who’s got a better phsyique; Bruce Lee or Schwarzenegger? Better for what? Better for winning Mr Olympia? Arnie. Better for Wing Chun/Jeet Kune Do/making Kung Fu movies? Bruce Lee. WTF sort of question is that anyway?
Thread warps into argument between 280lbs vampire dude who loves a 400-year-old serial killer/whales and Mr boxing, about whether Bruce Lee could fight. Fight? What are you talking about? Bruce Lee in a ring Western boxing in his weight division? Bruce Lee cage fighting? Bruce Lee street fighting, and under what conditions? Who the frig knows? He never competed in any martial contest and there’s no video footage of his alleged ‘street fights’.
And despite the history of boxers’ verbal bravado about being ‘invincible’ and the ‘best in the world’ there’s always the element of chance. In addition you have to define what you mean by ‘street fighting’ and even comparing it to the early UFC fights is pretty meaningless as they weren’t ‘no rules’ by any stretch and even many things that were allowed weren’t used by agreement; e.g. small joint manipulation, hair pulling etc.
This is an entire fucking thread of troll.
This what happens when Coop gets bored.
Roguevampire has a better physique for trolling.
Lawl… I shouldn’t have posted that vid. Forgot we have people with learning disabilities on here.

Favourite bodybuilding pic of all time. If I can some day even remotely resemble that I will die a happy man.

What regulatory board grants one a license to instruct in the deadly art of nunchucks? Are their continuing professional education courses you have to take to maintain your license? Would said license be revoked if you were to commit an action which was deemed shameful or unsavory to nunchucks as a weapon, and/or to the entire community of nunchuck enthusiasts as a whole? (ie: Show up drunk to a midget convention with nunchucks in each hand…unleash fury)
Genuine curiosity here…
I watched his one inch punch on youtube and it’s more of a “push a guy and he goes off balance and staggers back 10 feet so Bruce Lee won’t look bad” sort of thing.
Might as well link to the video. There’s even some kind words from Rouge Vampire at the end.

i second that! 1st time i’ve seen that photo and i’d have to agree. That is the perfect physique for me.
Lee could take in one arm a 75 lb barbell from a standing position with the barbell held flush against his chest and slowly stick his arms out locking them, holding the barbell there for several seconds.[84]
Holy crap!
