This post was deleted for the following reason: Bruce Lee stand-in advertises Nokia phone? I'm not a hardcore OMG COMMERCIALISM guy, but this seems like it's pushing it awfully hard. -- cortex
And I thought she was joking...

Even though it's definitely not Bruce, it is amazing. This is something Jackie Chan would have spent time learning, not Bruce.

it's an ad for the Bruce Lee Edition Nokia N96 phone -- with that in mind, and given that we don't see Bruce's face and the jumpsuit obscures his torso (and distinctive musculature) I'm pretty sure it's not real.

Thanks for posting a TV commercial to the blue all by itself, with no other content. That's exactly what I come here to see.

More info about the ad. "A couple of weeks ago, a ten second clip called “Bruce Lee's secret training video,” featuring someone looking like the famous Kung Fu master completely owning at ping pong with a pair of nunchaku, was uploaded to the Chinese Internet. Now, the entire clip is up and... it's a Nokia ad!"
Bruce Lee- nunchucks, Enter The Dragon.

Breaking with popular Asian convention, Lee employs the traditional Western "shakehand" grip...

Totally fake.
The real Bruce Lee would have employed his unique vocal styling to psyche out the opponents.
And then he'd have kicked their asses.

Most of you aren't aware that the ultimate test of skill in Jeet Kune Do involves using nunchuckus in ordinary activities.
Playing ping pong is just one of these activities. The true master can also use nunchukus to beat an egg, to hammer a nail, to mix a cocktail, and to scratch an itch. One true master used nunchukus to write a poem - the hardened wood of the nunchuk slamming against the traditional soft wood tablet. And a good poem it was! Three people died during the last rhyming line.

Until they post a film of someone spanking the old monkey with a pair of nunchuks, I'm not impressed...
And, that is SO CGI.... any ping-pong player or physics professor could tell you that.

Unless Nokia have developed some kind of awesomephone that can actually be turned into a pair of nunchuckus.. I ain't interested.

He uses his foot to hit the ball at 0:28. Bruce Lee wouldn't cheat like that.
