That guy does a really good imitation. The mannerisms are exactly like Bruce Lee's. The giveaway is his stubbier frame. The original Bruce Lee was lanky-- short torso, long legs. This guy has short legs and a long torso.

Bruce Lee was second to none !

`just watched Enter the Dragon,,,,,,,,,,,again.

His best move was the one inch punch,I`ve figured out how he did it and it`s still impressive!

It was a good imitation.....Was done as part of an ad campaign, by Nokia, and they made sure not to show any real close-up shots....I stumbled across it, and it made me miss him, when I saw it.....

Good to keep his memory alive......he did a lot for martial arts.....

Bruce Lee was the only one who ever kicked Chuck Norris's ass.

In all seriousness, though, Lee was an amazing man. I used to be heavy into martial arts, and I read his book, the Tao of Jeet Kun Do. He was not just on another level athletically, he was also brilliant.

Many consider him the father of mixed martial arts which is currently so popular although there is some debate about that his influence on martial arts is undeniable.
