Bruce Lee is an iconic legend.

I've been watching some Shaw Bros stuff of late and was impressed with Gordon Liu - MASTER KILLER for example. Pei Mei fans should check it out.

Jet Li would loose because the cheesy CGI he relies on 100% will not be there to save his worthless ass
Jackie Chan would loose because he would get knocked out while trying to make funny faces and balancing teapots that were about to hit the floor
Bruce Lee would loose because Necromancy isn't developed enough
Stevel Sagal would loose because his body is now as tense as his face
Chuck Norris would loose because he's on that fucking retarded TV show and everyone would want to put him out of his misery so they would all team up on him
Jean Claude Van Damme? ROFLMFAO


That leaves Sonny Chiba

 

[norinrad21]

I love Bruce Lee.

Dragon the Bruce lee story, kind of tells the story behind the man.

I'd bet on the fat Karate guy Bruce Lee killed in chinese connection by sword impalement against all the other entries. In reality he was one of the first two Chinese ever to get a 6th dan from the Kodokan in Judo. Not olympic Judo, but old school ass kicking Judo. That guy was fucking bad. He'd break Bruce in half in a real fight.

Segal didn't train with Ueshiba. He never was any champ in Japan. How he got his teaching license is up for debate as well from what I heard. There are all sorts of rumors about him, he supposedly pulled a Frank Dux early on and used to talk shit like he was in the CIA. Rumor also is he's a wife beater. Justa negative feeling about the guy.

JCV was more of a dance then a fighter. I heard he later got into some type of submission grappling. Not sure how serious he was about that.

Chuck Norris was a legit badass in his chosen area. He was also open enough to study BJJ later on.

Jet Li...good when he was young. Nowhere close to Jacki'es level though. Jackie is older and still doing it without the blue screen. Jet Li supposedly has a bunch of doubles to do most of his stuff.

Bruce Lee gave so much inspiration. I love the guy. But, he wasn't a real fighter. He was very much human, but I'll always give him credit for inspiring so many people. Great figure.

EDIT: Also, what's with all the Steven Seagal hate I'm seeing here? Where's that coming from?

Probably stemming from the reports that Seagal is an ass on movie sets moreso than a lack of fighting ability or anything

 

[COCKLES]

Sega should make a KUNG FU LEGENDS coin-op Virtua Fighter style - with Suzuki producing.

Bruce...Jet....Michelle Yeoh....Sonny Chibia...Bob Wall ect.

what's with all this chuck norris hate? :mad

Just to add what Boogie said, I've heard the same about Segal. Actually, I've heard allot of bad shit about him from people I know and just all around. He supposedly punched out Kelly Lebrock a few times, lied about involvement with the CIA, and has a weird habit of hitting people in the balls on the movie set. Supposedly he was really rough with some stuntmen. Don't take that as meaning he just had good martial arts skill and used them. It could mean he's a big guy knocking around stuntmen who need the job. Anyhow, the head of teh stuntmen, Gene Lebell told him to stop that shit. Lebell is probably one of the greatest martial artists of the modern era, and a person you wouldn't want to fuck with. Now, there are many variations of this story, but the ending is always teh same from what I heard. Lebell choked Segal unconcious, and did it in a way that Segal actually crapped his pants on the set.

I remember reading that story about Lebell in a martial arts magazine as well. Pretty cool.


I could've swore, though, that it was official that Segal trained with Ueshiba in Japan when Ueshiba was very old. Weird.

 

[Biff Hardbody]

When Ueshiba was very old he would often teach dozens and dosens of people in a class. He'd stand up and demonstrate the technique on one of his close students. I'm don't think Segal even got to be one of the faces in the crowd, I don't ever remember hearing he even was there when Ueshiba was alive. I know some people claimed to be Ueshiba's student after they trained in one of those group classes a few times, and that's just wrong.

 

[isamu]

Yummy.

Oh and Bruce > ALL.

 

[isamu]

Oh where is the fuck is the Gorden Lui, Jimmy Wang Yu and Donnie Yen love?

Iron Monkey bitches!

 

[MASB]

what's with all this chuck norris hate? :mad

Exactly! When it comes to entertainment, Chuck and Jackie Chan are my two favorites. Surely Chuck rose in everyone's esteem with his recent appearance on Conan O'Brien? That was a great segment. Conan: "NOORRRISSSS!!"

I know it won't happen, but in a way, I wish Norris could get the kind of role that David Carradine got in "Kill Bill". Not necessarily that exact type of role, but some great, career-reviving role. It would be interesting to watch that.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

i think alot of people arent giving jet li enough credit, and its probably cause of his shit tacular american movies....

this man is probably the fastest martial artist i have ever seen.

but yea, bruce lee will always be king.

peace

 

[Loki]

this man is probably the fastest martial artist i have ever seen.

You probably haven't seen many high-level martial artists, then.

 

[Shinobi]

Well Bruce Lee was dead at 50, so he's out.

:lol Almost spat my food out there...

Watch "Way of the Dragon"

:lol Yeah, because movies aren't scripted at all and always tell who could beat who. What's next, Mel Gibson could beat Jet Li? :lol

Jet Li would loose because the cheesy CGI he relies on 100% will not be there to save his worthless ass
Jackie Chan would loose because he would get knocked out while trying to make funny faces and balancing teapots that were about to hit the floor
Bruce Lee would loose because Necromancy isn't developed enough

That would kick tons of ass. And the last boss could be...

...Bolo!!


Oh yeah, gotta agree with an earlier comment...Jet Li's character in LW4 was one of the best villans ever.



And where's the Sho Kosugi love???

Revenge of the Ninja bitch!!

 

[ourumov]
