Bruce...

He did not die from cannabis use, that is all a conspiracy perpetrated by Don Langford (Lee's personal Doctor) and Peter Wu (the neurosurgeon on Lee's first collapse several months before)...

Perhaps the idea of a conspiracy is itself a conspiracy....

See how this works :D

Anyway, the man was a legend and his death, (as well as his sons), was a tragedy. I would like to think that he'd have carried on making movies but perhaps he'd have bowed out of the limelight to enjoy spending his monies.
 
Unfortunately he is dead..... so we have no way of knowing.

The reason he is dead is becuase he believed numerous doctors and friends, and believed specific chemicals could help him perform better or heal him / ease his ailments without any side-effects.

YES - he had tried Cannabis, and he had a fondness for pain killers, but most importantly he took steroids on a regular basis to improve himself - and this was well documented. It was one of these that killed him..... a chemical that reacted in a specific way (possibly) with all the other non-essential chemicals and supplements he was taking. He was the main man at the time - so had numerous people asking him to try their new found fixes/protein powders/herbs etc.

So - no - I don't think he would have aged well. Unfortunately, most people of that era had no idea how dangerous most of the drugs/chemicals they were taking were, and just took them on so called experts recommendations. Luckily - we have a whole host of resources now to tell us how combination drugs work - and the possibilties of serious injury if we mix Aspirin with numerous other chemicals.

And yes - I do respect and like Bruce Lee - but unfortunately he was just like most other top class sportsmen of his era.

Hmmm, Jackie Chan isn't really just a martial artist, he is circus trained as well. He is a master acrobat as well as proficient in Shaolin Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Pak Mei and several other styles. He was incidently Bruce Lee's stunt man in Fist of Fury.

Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee are not really comparable as Sportsmen.
 
Bruce Lee would have got greater and greater. His influence was absolutely huge and did so much for Eastern/Western cultures.

His philosophies and his dedication to his fitness were phenomenal.

He was blending steak and eggs before people even started touching protein shakes, he had gym apparatus built specifically so he could target muscle groups which he had studied meticulously.

Truly amazing bloke. An Inspiration to Millions allover the world.
 
I never got Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee etc. I've watched a few of their films and found them to be bad comedies and poor predictable action films.

Could you guys that really like the films try to explain what it is about them you like so much? Maybe I might spot what I'm missing.
 
Hah... IIRC Chuck Norris had to go easy on Bruce Lee as well for that one... actually does show in that scene.
 
The guy died from the cocktail of drugs he was taking. Basically the same thing as Michael Jackson. I don't think that's a very good sign towards him ageing well if he'd taken slightly less drugs and made it into later life. Stephen Seagull's hamburgers aren't as damaging as the stuff Bruce was putting into his system, hence why Seagull is still alive an Bruce is dead.
