This has got be one of the most interesting questions in martial arts history. Which one of the big three of the martial arts cinema is better: Bruce, Jackie, Jet? Each of the three, after all, has legitimate claim to the throne of best martial arts star of all time.
Through astounding physical and emotional effort these three men made it to the top of their field. These three men each took a different route to the top of their field. These three men must be considered from several angles before we choose a winner.
The first and foremost question is, of course, what are their statistics at the box office. Another thing to be discussed is how good were each of the three? Finally, the important question of how real their art is must be analyzed.
Jackie Chan comes out on top when it comes to how many box office dollars they made. Heck, Jackie made more movies than Jet or Bruce, so he gets an obvous edge on this question. To be considered in this question is the fact that Jackies movies have been popular in the orient long before the west even knew he existed.
Jet appears to be the top dog when it comes to who was the best martial artist. Froom all the millions of people in China he was selected as a superior person in the physical sense of the word. Neither Jackie nor Bruce trained a many hours of the day as he did.
When it comes to pure effectiveness, however, Bruce Lee is far out in front. Bruce dedicated himself to isolating and developing specific combat techniques. All od his discoveries, his efforts, his very intense personality, went into the creation of his own combat art, Jeet Kune Do.
So, it appears that we have a tie. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Bruce Lee have each managed to have one win. Well, considering the incredible quality of the three, perhaps that is to be expected.
Before we close the book on this question, however, perhaps we should consider one last item. When it comes to being the best, there is always somebody better, and this just because time passes. Over time new students rise to the top, a whole new generation has somebody to look forward to, and...there was a fellow I heard about a few months ago named Tony Jaa.
