Who will win?

by edible_hat » Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:02 pm

An odd question occurred to me while I was walking home earlier today, so I thought I'd ask it here.

Who would win a fight between Bruce Lee and Jet Li? (if they're both at their prime of course, no doubt that Jet Li could beat up Bruce Lee's corpse)

(edited to add emphasis to the bit people keep not reading)
Mel Gibson's remake of The Life of Brian is nowhere near as funny as the original.

Given that Bruce Lee is dead, Jet Li shouldn't have too hard a time beating him.

And now that people have replied to the first post, I can't edit the poll questions... I wanted to add IceLee as an answer.

Van Hellsing owns all because Van Hellsing always wins. However, Chuck Norris vs. Van Hellsing will result in the end of the universe.

Who would win between Bruce Lee, Bruce Li, Bruce Le and Lee Bruce?

answer is of course Bruce Lee, even if he's in corpse form.

Jet Li would only win if they were in a CG fight... as he's all special effects anyway.

Jet Li isn't all special effects, given the number of Wushu competitions he has won, even being declared a national treasure by the People's Republic of China.
What is interesting is that Jet Li has admitted that people that do boxing would be hard to defeat given how quickly they can dodge when you are using a traditional martial arts style like the one he practices. Although a Wushu champion, he actually comes from a long line of martial artists.
The boxing point is interesting as Bruce Lee practiced not only martial arts, but boxing as well.
Also, given that Jet Li is a Buddhist and Bruce Lee believed more in solving an argument through talking (his opponents picked the fights) this would probably end up quite a boring fight as both of them would be smart enough not to come to blows over something as trivial as who was better. The have both expressed respect for different styles of combat and hardly seem the kind of people to go around picking fights.
Both of the have extensive filmographies with quite a few martial arts movies, yet Bruce Lee managed to die mysteriously at the age of 32 and Jet Li is currently 44, which could show that Jet Li is luckier or blessed more than Bruce Lee. A curse seems to formed around the Lee family, as Bruce's son Brandon was shot dead whilst filming The Crow.

While interesting, I do find it all to be a moot point as my money is on Tony Jaa.

According to Google Fight, the winner is Bruce Lee by about 51,000,000 links.
