That CANNOT be real.  Or it's unreal if he really did that with the nunchucks.

Thanks for posting that one.

Hard telling if it is real or not, Bruce Lee did master the famous 2 finger push up, the one inch punch, as well as kick a 300Ibs heavy bag and make it hit the ceiling. I always wondered if it was myth or fact.

It appears most think it's fake on those links, but no one says it IS fake.  There is one guy who claims to have seen the video in 1978, predating the CGI necessary to pull this off.

It's kinda like that Tiger Woods video where he bounces the ball on his club and after a while drives the ball midair.  No multiple camera shot and no CGI but no one believed it was real.

Then again, look what they did in Forrest Gump with ping-pong.   But they could not have done that movie in 1978.

Hope it's real.  It's still amazing.

Well, Im not going to sit here and judge that Bruce Lee isint good enough with them things to hit a ping pong ball.  I do know from playing lots of ping pong and a tiny bit of nun chucks.  That ping pong ball would not have survived a few of them hits.  I can guarantee when he put his ooomph into it the ball would have done the squish!  quick fast and in a hurry!

I agree the video may be tampered with, but who knows?

I was at the Atlanta Fitness Super Show about 1993 and saw a ping-pong contest.  Since I was reasonable good, I got in line.  If you beat this guy, you got a $500 gift card.  The game was to 11 points.  As I watched, he let most people get the score to about 9 to 1 in favor of the contestant.  He would then whip up on them and beat them 9 to 11.  I was about 10 people away from getting my chance when I saw him do something crazy!  He stepped back a few feet while the ball fell almost to the floor, then with a tremendous up shot, he sent the ball about 40 feet up into the air and to his left.  I thought for sure the contestant had won, since it was 10-10, but that ball did a U-turn, came back down and hit the table on the other side, then promptly shot off onto the floor.  It must have been spinning at 5000 RPM or better!  His name was Jim Butler.  Maybe there are some videos of him out there.
