Not real. Nokia has launched a successful viral commercial, starring Bruce Lee to promote its new N96 in China.

It's not. I know it's hard to tell from the face, but it's not his face. Also, the limb proportion isn't right. It's definitely a good Bruce Lee impersonator.

These are all commercials. No, they are not real. They pull him out of his movies and use them alongside new actors to make these (obviously).

It seems real to me and I am more inclined to believe the video due to the fact that Bruce Lee had perfected his new form of martial arts, Jeet Kun Do, which he sometimes refered to as "the formless form" or "the style of no style" and he was thus able to do some extremely crazy stunts and martial arts forms like his famous one inch "fist of fury" punch. In which he would punch someone from an inch away and the impact would throw the person over six feet away from the point of impact.
Here are some of Bruce Lee's Documented Physical Feats.
Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats. The following list includes some of the physical feats that are documented and supported by reliable sources.

Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.

Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24 frames per second, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.

In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.

Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[54]

Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.

Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger

Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.

Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.

Lee could cause a 300-lb (136 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a side kick.

Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-lb (68 kg) punching bag

In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair.

So with such proven physically attributes the stunts like the one shown on that video must have meant nothing to the man touted as the most physically feat person to have ever lived.
