Bruce.  Not even close.  Even Chuck Norris is better than Van Damme.

Bruce Lee is indeed the true master here. Or was. Regardless, Bruce Lee was aparently so fast and powerful, he could drop a board from shoulder height and smash it with either fist or foot before it hit the ground. Asides from that, he created the 1 and 3 inch power punch. One more thing, in his fight scenes he actually had to slow himself down so the camera would be able to catch his moves on film, otherwise all you would see would be a blur and you couldn't see what he was doing.

i'm old fashion. i like bruce lee because he was real. when i see jet li or any of the new guys perform, i feel like it's all special effects and not original. \n\nit's just my opinion.

Fist of Fury - Bruce Lee.\n\nI still remember him playing kato in few episodes of batman - why back. I didn't know who he was at the time, but his fighting skills were awesome. I don't think anyone ever saw moves like that.\n\nOne of the things that always seperated Bruce Lee from other martial artists was that there were no theatrics in his moves. Everything he did had a purpose - every move, every kick, every flip - was meant as a counter or strike toward his opponent.\n\nNo other martial artist I've seen can compare to the realism Bruce Lee brought to the screen.

I seriously cannot answer that question because they are both great! I think Jackie Chan is too soft hearted and would not fight to the death but Jet Li will. Jackie Chan is amazing because he could still do the stunts he do at his age and Jet Li is swift, deadly, and a force to be reckoned with!

Jean Claude Van Damme's real name is Jean-Claude Van Varenbergh, where as Rob Van Dam's real name is Rob Szatkowski. So no they are not related. Plus the name is spelled different Jean's is Damme and Rob's is Dam.

for those of you who are unaware-benny "the jet" urquidez. is a full contact kickboxer renowned for his speed and courage-now retired he held the world crown for a number of years. his trademark being the full red-indian headgear he used to wear when entering the ring. while "the jets" speed and courage have seemingly no limitations i beleive sifu lee would have the edge in the technical and speed department-remember that in bruce lee you are talking of a man who could bring his kicking leg up from prone-to target-to prone again in one eighth of a second. i also beleive lee would have the edge in the power stakes as well-during the filming of the scene with bob wall in "enter the dragon" where lee backfists wall in the face several times the film-rate had to be slowed from 32 frames a second to 16 frames a second so the audience could see his hand move-benny the jet would have no answer to this combined with lee's legendary power.

Dolph by far, although van damme seems more successful over his career.  He cant lay off the bottle therefor dolph wins  in martial arts, while van damme tries to bring back drunken boxing and harrassing women at spring break.

Bruce Lee was an amazing man. They used to say he was the most fit man in the world. He was in better shape physically than anybody at that time. I see questions asked on  here who would win in a fight. Bruce Lee or Jet Li or some other well know person. The answer is, "no contest". Bruce was so far beyond everybody else. He could beat any fighter just with his mind alone. He could out think any fighter and beat them to the punch. It's ashame some people die so young. \n.

These people are out of their mind.  Lee was a movie star, but not a champion fighter.  Don't get me wrong.  He was a great fighter and lightning fast, but he didn't train in the way moder MMA fighters do to prepare for a ground fight.  He'd be taken down and either submitted or pounded into mat.

Did you watch that movie that was about the life of Bruce Lee?  I think it was called "Dragon" and was produced roughly around 1993.  \n\nAnyways, it seems that Hollywood was indeed racist at the time and I agree with you, in that Bruce Lee would've made a far better actor on the set of Kung Fu than David Carradine.

I agree with you. However I wouldn't say there is NO proof, unsubstantiated statements are proof, just not very good proof. \n\nMuch of his image comes from linda lee trying to bolster it to cash in.\n\nThere is little evidence of if he was "great" or not. It is logical that he had some level of skill because he had a name for himself and I would imagine he would have been exposed. but he didn't have a fight record so there is no way to know for sure.\n\nEven still, don't think the UFC is a good measure of bruce lee because it is pretty obvious what worked 30 years ago is not necessarily what works today so even if he was "spectacular" then he was so 30 years ago when MMA and groundfighting wasn't really a reality (it was around, but no where near as popular or practiced as it is today).  Bruce even admits that muhammad ali would have kicked his ass.\n\nHowever I don't think it is fair to take away the man's accomplishments in hollywood. Even though fanboy's may piss you off it was a good and big step for asians in hollywood pictures. that has little to do with his actual ability but it is wrong to take that from him.
