I can't judge; it's a good day when I can bend over to put on my shoes.

Tony is something, no doubt. I watched the vid.

However...

(Note: I'm no rabid Bruce Lee fan, I have studied him a bit and watched most of his movies and many other non-scripted videos with him performing in various situations).

Lee had so many skills and had such insane control of his body that it really does make Jaa and others of today (definitely including Jackie Chan, who's only skill (albeit VERY good) is in choreographed fight scenes) look pale by comparison.

I remember seeing a video of Lee playing Ping-Pong against a regional champion. His opponent played with a paddle; Lee played with nunchuks. Holding one stick, swinging the other on the 3-inch chain. He utterly destroyed the guy.

I am not sure I know of a modern fighter/actor who could really compare to him. There are better fighters now, but they couldn't act through a day of filming like Lee... and I doubt many are as much of a gentleman as he was. Of course, he did all this while smoking pot like a college boy, too.

I gotta vote Lee over Jaa.

Like the series 'THE GREEN HORNET' he so over shadowed everybody else on the set. He was something.
