You bastard, Hanzo. I love all 3. Going to have to go for Jet Li, though. Love the leg work, Jet!

This is only for actors who have actually existed. If it helps, Shang is a rip-off of Lee from Enter the Dragon (which doesn't stop him from being awesome).

Jackie Chan. Not only a skilled martial artist, but funny as well.

Bruce Lee, without him, the others wouldn't have careers. Jackie Chan is my 2nd choice, his stunts are incredible.

Jackie Chan. He's probably not the best martial artist of the three, but he's the most entertaining.

Bruce Lee. I like the way he really put some thinking into his fighting style. He really believed he was onto something.

The WWWF Grudge Match used to pit Pop Icons (and other folks) vs each other. One of the matches was Bruce Lee versus Jackie Chan. The following was my post.

That match and a lot of others can be found here: http://www.grudge-match.com/History/index.html


Quote:
This is one match that requires a real expert on cool and Yo Bad Self, so..

Shift scene to a diner where two men are sitting in a booth. One is a white guy with long slicked back hair and a dark, vampirish suit eating a cheeseburgher, and the other is a a black man with jerricurl hair and eyes that blaze fire. He is reading a newspaper.

Jules "WHAT THE (multiple explitives deleted)??"

Vincent (used to this) "What?"

Jules "It says here that on the WWWF Bruce Lee is fightin' Jackie Chan, What the (multiple explitives deleted) kind of (multiple expletives deleted again)is that?"

Vincent "Isn't Bruce Lee dead?"

Jules "So..." (he stares at his friend)

Vincent "Oh, yeah, right" (Lights up a smile that would give a piranha shivers)

Jules "Bruce Lee, Do you understand, Bruce Lee is BRUCE LEE. Bad MO FO (multiple expletives deleted) ka-arate, kung fooin, Woowoo-in big bad BRUCE LEE.

Who do people think of when you say Bruce?"

Vincent (thinks a bit) "Bruce the shark"

Jules "Daaamm right. Don't forget Robert the Bruce, Bruce Boxleitner, Bruce Willi.."

(Vincent looks up with a hurt expression on his face)

Jules "Sorry, I know it's a sore spot. But there are some people YOU JUST DON'T MESS WITH. Muhammad Ali, Richard Petty, John Wayne, The Beatles,.."

Vincent (without looking up) "Elvis"

Jules "...Elvis, Shaft"

Vincent (looking puzzled) "Shaft?"

Jules "Don't worry about it. It's just that Jackie Ow doesn't stand a chance. It almost brings tears to my eyes to think of it. Hey where's the (multiple expletives deleted) waitress, I want my (multiple expletives deleted) Food!

Jackie Chan. He has the best combination of skill as both a martial artist and an entertainer.

I've always dug Lee's water analogy for fighting. I actually use this in my job, explaining things to younger accolytes. They think I'm weird.

Jay, Bruce's writing on philosophy had a tremendous impact on my life. He was a philosophy major in college ("What are you going to do with a philosophy degree?" "Think deep thoughts about being unemployed.") and his work compiled in the first and last chapters of Tao of Jeet Kune Do and Striking Thoughts are wonderful. It's like he took the best from Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and mixed it all up.
