OnlyGodMatayoshiKaiju yangster09 jackie suks hes only good because hes funny rofl b***h, Jackie Chan can scale flagpoles while handcuffed, clear buildings in three jumps, and survive fifty foot drops on his face. Bruce Lee was good at posing for the camera and Jet Li was good at posing for the CGI animators and wire operators. Compare and contrast: Bruce Lee Jackie Chan Jackie is ******** awesome. Bruce and Jet are ******** gimmicks. There's a reason why Chan is the number one highest grossing martial arts star of all time. I agree biggrin He even has his own cartoon... |

black_wing_angel dumdum288 Lateralus Angel Jet Lee only looks like a good martial artist because of the special effects we have now-a-days. Bruce Lee for the win. jet lee actually know martial arts So does a good percentage of America's youth, but that doesn't make them great movie-stars. It takes more than moves. Thank you. I never said that he doesn't know martial arts just that he needs CGI to make his skill look good. OnlyGodMatayoshiKaiju b***h, Jackie Chan can scale flagpoles while handcuffed, clear buildings in three jumps, and survive fifty foot drops on his face. Bruce Lee was good at posing for the camera and Jet Li was good at posing for the CGI animators and wire operators. Arguably, in Bruce Lee's day and age the general audience didn't expect the same type of action that today's audience expects. It would be interesting to see what Bruce Lee could do at the time that Jackie Chan was at his peak. |

mayatoshi: shut the ******** up. Bruce Lee was a trained martial artist who founded the Jeet Kune Do school and singlehandedly brought Martial Arts into cultural view. Jackie Chan is a ballet dancer who picked up martial arts to do movies.

And not only that, he's got his own C-pop albums. Let's see Burce Lee do THAT. Quote: Arguably, in Bruce Lee's day and age the general audience didn't expect the same type of action that today's audience expects. It would be interesting to see what Bruce Lee could do at the time that Jackie Chan was at his peak. We saw what Bruce Lee could do "at his peak". It was barely par for course; the only reason people go so gaga over him is because his PR team was great and he got early mainstream recognition in the West, while everyone else from Hong Kong stayed stuck in their low budget crap fests that only dorks like the WuTang Clan have ever actually watched. "Yes... Bruce Lee... is great... TV tells me... this is so..." Watch his movies, for Chrissake! Do they HONESTLY hold up to the image you're expected to pay lip service to? Oh, and A Liberal Media: shut up. Bruce Lee never had a real fight in his life: the last time he ever actually "did martial arts" was in high school, when he won a single inter-scholastic boxing match. Saying he was a "trained martial artist" is like saying some guy who won a single PeeWee football trophy, then spent the rest of his life making movies about football, is God's gift to the gridiron. You're exactly the kind of talking-point spewing chimp I was alluding to in the last paragraph, an automaton regurgitating the same tired gloss fed to you by the suits who own the rights to Bruce Lee's films. |

RazzberryLemonade dumdum288 Lateralus Angel Jet Lee only looks like a good martial artist because of the special effects we have now-a-days. Bruce Lee for the win. jet lee actually know martial arts Ever heard of Jeet Kun Do? Bruce FTW. What, the non-martial art which was little more than resume padding for Mr. Lee? Yeah, I heard of it. As a matter of fact, I read his entire body of work concerning THAT little piece of "never tested in a real ight because it's a load of Hollywood hogwash" in a single afternoon- HEY! I heard some LARPERs developed a real life martial art! They call it "The Nine Deadly Foam Sword Strikes". Guess that makes them Grade A Genyooses, huh? Let's be honest here, people. Jet Li was a much better on-camera martial artist than Bruce ever was. He was in better shape, moved faster, acted smoother, and his movies were just generally ten notches ahead. He didn't do interviews quite as well, and as an actor he takes a distant third to Bruce's second, but don't be fooled by the hype. Watch their movies for a change and stop spouting bullshit. |

OnlyGodMatayoshiKaiju Jackie Chan. Now go away. Still fail. Jackie Chan has stated multiple times that he owes his career to Bruce Lee. Quote: "When I was first billed, they tried billing me as 'The Next Bruce Lee!' and I went bug eyed. NOBODY can be that!" It was impossible to live up to. |

Look, I know you love playing the "too cool for school/everything that most people think is automatically wrong/all the great people are overhyped/this obscure figure was always better than the popular one!" devil's advocate, but you just ain't getting off the ground in this one chum. |

GunsmithKitten OnlyGodMatayoshiKaiju Jackie Chan. Now go away. Still fail. Jackie Chan has stated multiple times that he owes his career to Bruce Lee. Quote: "When I was first billed, they tried billing me as 'The Next Bruce Lee!' and I went bug eyed. NOBODY can be that!" It was impossible to live up to. Fail for the bollocks, and fail for saying "fail". That puts you a double fail to my glorious win. Sure, Jackie Chan stated that- it's called "being polite". People constantly debase their achievements when they talk about "who came before", the only thing it means it is that their gums are flapping. He owes his career to himself- he had plenty of movies before and after, and while he got a good break as a stunt double in one of Lee's films, it's pretty clear from what followed that Bruce Lee WASN'T impossible to live up to. "NOBODY can be that!"... except for you, Jackie. And Jet Li. And, God willing, Tony Jaa. Maybe Sammo Hung and Beat Takeshi, Sonny Chiba, John Woo, and Julius Carry. Now, did you have an argument that actually makes sense, or was that your best? Have you been beaten like Yee Kwan Yan before a line of rifle-armed marines? |
