I thought i'd put my 2 cents in here as I am a martial artist and have been practicing Jeet kune do,
Bruce is like a "shower of the way" to me, he's inspired me to try and achieve exellence in all feilds that I try,
and I am a die hard fan, I would however like to clear up the whole Bruce Lee Jet Li ability comparison thing, First of all I have great respect for Jet and i'm a fan and I catch all his films he's a great actor and thats the word we were all looking for "Actor" Jet Li grew up studying Wushu in China and before he was "discovered" he was part of the China "wushu" team witch is kind of like an olympic competition thing, they don't do self defence it's all about performance, they practice forms or a series of martial arts movements to perfection (basically choreography) and then they perform it infront of judges and win competitions and so forth, kinda like Jacky Chan, although jacky is alot more hardcore, so what you see of Jet on screen is well put together fight scenes with great sound effects and perfect camera angles not ability like Bruce, alot of people say alot of things about bruce and try to downplay his ability and I myself agree that he wasnt "unbeatable" but he was a great man, he single handedly changed action cinema and sure enough most fight choregraphy and ideas these days come from him, he trained like no one else and called himself an ordinary man, his ability was otherworldly, it would be cool to see the new movie alot of people are interested in Bruce Lee and it's good to see them trying to keep him alive because he's helped alot of people and I hope that it stays that way, it would be cool to see a fight scene between the two of them, but banish the "who would win" thoughts because we all know who would..
