Bruce Lee vs. Predator!

The Predator from the 20th Century Fox film franchise has taken on a wide variety of opponents, from Tarzan to Batman and Superman, so why not late martial arts master Bruce Lee?

Taken from the Stan Winston School of Character Arts Facebook page is this imaginative battle between Bruce Lee and the Predator from the film franchise of the same name. While on the surface this would seem to be a ludicrous concept, given the legacy of Lee one has to believe he would somehow be able to hold his own. The images were reportedly created utilizing action figures of both.

5 seconds into the fight... Predator cuts off Lee's Face
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/27/2012, 5:21 AM
The Predator was hired by Chuck Norris. No one breaks Chuck Norris's leg and gets away with it!
Viking - 6/27/2012, 5:24 AM
@R3Animator Uh ? sorry but i think you meant 5 seconds into the fight, Bruce Lee finger flicks the Predator sending him flying into the sun.
IronManny819 - 6/27/2012, 5:40 AM
If a Predator can't kill Adrian friggin' Brody, he's not even touching Bruce Lee.
BenderDickCumPatch - 6/27/2012, 5:43 AM


TO. MUCH. AWESOME.
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/27/2012, 5:48 AM
@ IronManny819 - good call! Although Brody was surprisingly ripped for that movie it was one hell of a miscast film!
AlexDeLarge87 - 6/27/2012, 5:51 AM
Without weapons i think the fight would be fair.
Lee would obviously win by breaking Predators knees and then kicking his head off and using it as football.
Lee is fast mother[frick]er. :)

If Predator uses his hunting web which slices everything. Lee would be history... IF Predator is fast enough.
MitchConner - 6/27/2012, 5:57 AM
Predator kills Lee with laser...says "frick this, not worth it to risk it."
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/27/2012, 6:01 AM
That's the thing, are we talking the original Predator with all his tricks or are we talking the strong but incredibly slow-to-react Predators from other movies in a one on one duel?

At first I thought this was an easy Predator victory but thinking about how dimwitted and non-agile they've been recently, I'm seriously thinking Bruce could walk away from this!
captainbeta - 6/27/2012, 6:02 AM
Without weapons, Bruce wins. With weapons that aren't lasers or webs, Bruce wins. Throw in the Sci Fi weapons and Bruce loses. Bruce with nunchucks or a staff or escrisma sticks and he is unstoppable.
Berger45 - 6/27/2012, 6:19 AM
Argument invalid: he is Bruce Lee.
Carnage302 - 6/27/2012, 6:29 AM
Batman VS. Predator the movie would be awesome.
sKeemAn - 6/27/2012, 6:33 AM
^^^^Do you remember the Dark Horse comic of the same name in the 90's Batman won
Bruce Lee wins in hand to hand.
THORION76 - 6/27/2012, 6:38 AM
I CALL BS ON THIS ONE. BRUCE LEE IS A LIGHT WEIGHT AND IN THE UFC HE COULD NOT WIN AGAINST SOMEONE LIKEBROCK LESNER.

IVE BEEN IN AND SEEN A LOT OF BAR/STREET FIGHTS AND THE ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT SIZE AND ANGER MAKE A BIG DIFERENCE.

A PREDATOR WOULD COMEPLETLY DESTROY OUR BIGGEST AND BADEST FIGHTERS. I LOVE BRUCE BUT HE WOULD LOOSE.

IT WOULD BE BADASS TO SEE HIM GET AHOLD OF THE PREDATORS STAFF AND EVEN THE BATTLE A LITTLE BIT.

Grif vs. Predator
AlSimmons - 6/27/2012, 6:57 AM
This is really Bruce Lee vs the kill-switch wrist nuke.
ThunderCougarFalconBird - 6/27/2012, 6:57 AM
@ THORION76 - I understand what you're saying but I'm inclined to disagree sir. I've seen some of the biggest angriest beasts of men taken down by the feint touch of a true martial arts master. I'm not just talking a fith-dan blackbealt who's been training taekwondo for 15yrs, I mean someone like Lee who truly studied how every part of the body works, how to get its maximum potential for attack, and how to best disable it's entire function. I fully doubt ANY UFC fighter could pull off or even understand Bruce Lee's '1 inch punch'. I'm not saying a UFC fighter couldn't beat Lee, I'm sure a lot of them could on their day, but at the same time, Lee (in his prime) could take down any UFC fighter.

There's a world of difference between a life time of martial arts 'physical training' and a life time of martial arts 'studying'.
BillyM67 - 6/27/2012, 7:00 AM
@THORION76 - You obviously know nothing about Bruce Lee or you would realize how silly the statement was. Lee would beat the snot out of Lesner and have him crying within 3 minutes.
GUNSMITH - 6/27/2012, 7:02 AM
BATMAN" VS PREDATOR...
darkmetal - 6/27/2012, 7:33 AM
@THORION76 Lesnar at 265 lbs and not a great fighter would most likely defeat Bruce Lee a martial arts expert at 135-165lbs.

Real fights do not happen like movies. Opponents dont just stand and watch spin kicks. Glancing blows do not make loud POP sounds and knock people out.

When we see movies with Bruce Lee or Batman wading through men and knocking them out with jabs we are seeing impossible fictional superheroes.

The difference is guys like Lee, Seagal, Van Damme, Norris are expected to have superhuman ability in real life.
They have great skill, but its just movies.

Lee, or even a 230 lb guy like Fedor cant get a 265 lb guy off of them.

Manny Pacquiao at his best is built much like Bruce Lee. And hes had fights where he simply cannot knock out his opponent. Though his skill is far above a Lesnar type, Manny couldnt beat such a guy in a real fight.

In actuality there are millions of guys who could beat Lee, Manny, Mayweather in a real fight.
Greengo - 6/27/2012, 7:34 AM
@THORION: BRUCE LEE WOULD NOT FIGHT BROCK LESNAR IN THE UFC.

AS YOU POINTED OUT, THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES.
GUNSMITH - 6/27/2012, 7:41 AM
BEST VS EVER
darkmetal - 6/27/2012, 7:44 AM
@Greengo I think the point made is Bruce couldnt possibly defeat our biggest and baddest fighters in the real world and our biggest and baddest couldnt beat the Predator, so Bruce would die.
Tevii - 6/27/2012, 7:44 AM
Bruce Lee would get in super close so Predator cant use weapons, then Lee would use his famous 1 inch punch and knock a motha out
TheMyth - 6/27/2012, 7:46 AM
Thorion, I love morons like you who think a few bar fights mean you know shit about fighting. I have over 15 years of disciplined training in several fields including Western Boxing, Isshinryu, Tae Kwon Do, Fila Grappling, and a beginners course in Muay Boran with Savate being actively sought as the next one I seek to add to my list. At 6'5 and weighing in between 190-200 lbs, I've boxed countless matches against light-heavies to cruiser weight, and I've even fought in 2 matches and won in my local MMA cage fight league, then the countless exhibitions and tournaments for the schools I went to. So how does that measure up to your lol, the few bar/street fights you've been in? Size and anger only dictates a fight between two neanderthals that only know how to stand head to head swapping blows. Take one of those neanderthals against someone trained to fight and they will be dissected, I've seen it more times than I've done it myself. Their isn't a fighter alive today that could have taken Bruce Lee in his prime, not a one. And for the record, speed with trump power all day buddy, all day, and that's speaking from LOADS of experience.
Tevii - 6/27/2012, 7:48 AM
@darkmetal... if you think bruce lee was just a showman and a great fighter due to movies, you need to read up on him more. The man was AMAZING. Just read the Muscle and Fitness magazine that came out a few months back
Lee was known fro taking down REAL opponents twice his size.
Im not saying he could compete to todays UFC fighters, but Im also not saying he couldnt. Im just pointing out that he was WITHOUT A DOUBT more than just a movie fighter
Batman27 - 6/27/2012, 7:58 AM
Bruce Lee would take advantage of his speed. Weight doesn't mean anything if you're a great fighter. I weigh like 60 pounds more than Lee and he would beat me down in two hits.
hoodedjester - 6/27/2012, 7:59 AM
Lee was a great fighter and a fantastic actor who really brought martial arts into mainstream movies - that being said this concept of him taking on a predator is pretty silly.

I would have loved to see him in the ring fighting UFC style if he was still around but something tells me he would have never done it
Greengo - 6/27/2012, 8:00 AM
How dare I take a comment referencing a Bruce Lee v. Predator match up literally : )
Bassman15 - 6/27/2012, 8:10 AM
Lee's dead, i bet its chuck norris in disguise
TheMyth - 6/27/2012, 8:14 AM
Darkmetal, You put Mayweather in with the likes of Manny Pacquiou or even Bruce Lee? Wow, you really don't have any clue at all what you're talking about. And for the record, Lee was a martial artist long before he was in a few movies. I guarantee if you could ask the fighters you've listed they'd openly admit they'd shit their pants at the thought of fighting Bruce Lee, even Mayweather's talentless arrogant ass. I can always spot someone who has no fight training at all and likely very little experience in less traditional brawling when they think size dictates anything. And I doubt you know anything about the fighters you've talked about including Lee, beyond the superficial media coverage. So go ahead and argue me over this, but it's like an 8 year old trying to tell a professional Basketball player how to play. I have half my life to pull first hand experience and knowledge from. Have you ever traveled to Thailand to train in a gym for 30 days? Have you ever stood in a boxing ring with someone who has 3 inches and 20 lbs on you and won decisively? Have you ever stood in a cage with another amateur MMA fighter and beaten them without them landing a single punch? Have you broken your knuckles, wrists, toes, ankles, ribs or anything else just training, let alone actually fighting? Have you ever even gotten up at 4am for 4 hours of endurance training? I have and then some, so come back when you've accumulated 15 years or so of disciplined martial arts experience.
TheMyth - 6/27/2012, 8:20 AM
Hoodedjester, you're right, Lee would never have degraded himself by stepping into an MMA ring. I fought 2 matches in my local amateur league a few years ago and couldn't believe what a joke it is. Most fighters don't even have any real martial arts training, they just train at the gym a lot and "learn" several different styles, lacking the discipline to see one out. There are a few fighters that are exempt of this in the pro league, as there were a few in the amateur league, but mostly, just a bunch of tough guys who've won a few bar scraps and think that's enough.
6of13 - 6/27/2012, 8:20 AM
Lee, like many KunG Fu fighters, was super fit. And quick. Plus he knew the pressure points. So if he wanted, he could easily kill Lesner or any MMA fighter in a fight.
Bread - 6/27/2012, 8:34 AM
Bruce would win, Predators always fight fair so he wouldn't use any weapons (the sword fight in Predators) it would all be hand-to-hand combat, and well... It's Bruce [frick]ing Lee
Anthrax - 6/27/2012, 8:43 AM
Bruce lee would rip off his chest skin since he doesn't have any chest hair like chuck Norris I mean hes the only guy who's kicked chuck Norris assnand lived
thewolfx - 6/27/2012, 9:05 AM
bruce lee beats all you dim muth[frick]az!
Talontd - 6/27/2012, 9:09 AM
@THEMYTH


I agree with everything you said......EXCEPT one thing. MAYWEATHER is far from talentless. Arrogant, yes. GOD YES, but he is probably the best technical boxer of all-time. He does have very little power but as far as technical boxing skill, he is amazing. Now that's not to say he would last more than 5sec in the ring with LEE, he is only proficient in one style (a very limited style at that), but he is the best at what he does.
Bunx05 - 6/27/2012, 9:12 AM
Bruce Lee was something we had not seen before and will most likely not see again. I'm not saying that as a fanboy. I'm saying this as a Martial Artist. I saw my first Bruce Lee movie when I was 3 and told my dad I wanted to be him. At 4 I started training. Tae Kwon Do. Then Jujitsu. Then Thai Boxing. Then Wushu and Chinese Boxing (Kung Fu), first Hung Gar Southern style and Then several Northern styles. I have been studying Martial Arts for 25 years, competing in tournaments, and for a while (when I was younger and dumber) fighting off and on in a street fighting circuit.
So believe me: Bruce Lee could beat any MMA fighter in any weight class. Watch the tapes of his training and tournament appearances. It wasn't that he knew which move would take out his opponent. It's that he knew how to move with perfect efficiency. The right movement every time. This is something I stil haven't begun to learn and many of the Masters I have studied under haven't mastered. It's about understanding your unique body more than your opponent's. How do you move when confronted with x how much to relent when confronted with y. Bruce Lee was a natural at this.
So, yes, Bruce Lee would kick the Predator's ass up and down the field. And then probably steal his ship fly it over to Chuck Norris' house and have a beer (or tea).
rbfn04 - 6/27/2012, 9:15 AM
@THORION76 cause size is everythingin a fight. And a martial arts masters fights the same as 2 dumb knucleheads drunk in a bar. Right?
Watcher - 6/27/2012, 9:27 AM
@ TheMyth: Impressive resume. Cheers
Tajin88 - 6/27/2012, 9:46 AM
@Bunx05- Agreed!

It doesnt matter who Bruces opponent is, what matters is if the one will survive the fight or not, so there is no talking about winning anymore, because its BRUCE LEE!

If Bruce Lee visits the planet of the predators, then they will leave their planet in an instant LOL!
wavehunter - 6/27/2012, 10:05 AM
Simply put: Bruce Lee was the first MMA fighter. He started his discipline in Wing Chung. From there he studied many other arts of fighting. Lee then simplified them into he own (Jeet Kun Do). Just watched Enter the Dragon the other day. Still the best MA film ever.
Jimdlux - 6/27/2012, 10:27 AM
Despite how it seems in film, the Predator is faster and stronger then humans. Even without weapons, Lee wouldn't have made it...but I guarantee his skull would be the center piece of the Predator's trophy room!
hope420 - 6/27/2012, 10:48 AM
I'd rather see Bruce Lee and Ip Man sparring.
dnno1 - 6/27/2012, 11:50 AM
I thought it was a done deal when they had Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris.
CaptainMaximum - 6/27/2012, 12:18 PM
royce gracie beat bigger guys
fistofthenorthstar - 6/27/2012, 12:34 PM
the predator always looks for a challenge, and this would've been the ultimate challenge...
Gideon - 6/27/2012, 12:56 PM
@TheMyth, I couldn't agree with you more. I too am a trained martial artist, but unlike you, I've stuck with the same discipline for more than 30 years. It's called Am Doung Dich Vo Dao, or the American name is Vovinam. Size doesn't mean shit in a fight. Technique is everything. And nobody had better technique than Bruce. And as far as UFC fighters go, they are not even on the same plane as true martial artists. They're just a bunch of thugs that know a couple of rudimentary moves and workout alot. If you actually watch a UFC fight and dissect it as a technical fighter, you can't go more than three seconds without seeing mistake after mistake and missed opportunity after missed opportunity. It's sad that UFC is what passes as skilled fighters nowadays. But hey, if that's what passes as skilled fighters, then that makes me extremely safe in hand to hand combat.
Durf - 6/27/2012, 1:01 PM
As awesome as he was, Bruce would fight hard and lose. But he would be a proud trophy for the Predator!

Oh, and Lee would crush any fighter today or in history. Greatest fighter/martial artist to ever live!
Gideon - 6/27/2012, 1:09 PM
Whoops. "Dich" got autocorrected. It should be "Viet."
