I voted for Bruce Lee, but in full disclosure, I figured that was the fight scene that was on the youtube video as I had seen the movie years ago.

I always liked the respect Bruce Lee shows for Chuck Norris by covering his face and placing his belt on him.

I remember a quote from one of my instructors at the US Army Ranger School back in the 1970s -- "All the 'kung fu' in the world never stopped a head shot from a .45 automatic pistol."

My wife and I had our honeymoon in Hawaii in 1979.  Our second night there we went to see a Chuck Norris movie.  36 years later, she still puts up with me!  As Jeff Foxworthy said, "You know you might be a redneck if an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger changed your life!"

Huge Bruce Lee fan but to be fair, this scene was choreographed by Lee himself. Years later when he was asked who would have won a straight fight, Chuck Norris replied that Lee was an absolutely amazing athlete "but c'mon, I was the world champion at the time."

Another clip I love:

Chuck and a 44 Walker Colt.  He would make Bruce Lee become Lee-nnie Bruce.

I think if they had several fights, they would each have some wins.

at 1:28 it looks like Bruce is turning into a werewolf.
