Compare about Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Which one do you like?

I don't very familir with Bruce Lee, but I believe he was good at martial arts.
I like Jackie Chan, I think he bridges the gap between chinese kung fu and entertainments.
Jackie's early movie(about 10 years ago) didn't have so many funny parts like today, those movie showed the martial arts to audience.
Today, Jackie still insists on wearing traditional chinese cloths in the public to tell everybody he is a chinese.
Maybe somebody do not like Jaceie Chan, but I think the chinese martial spirit whitch in the Chan's and Lee's mind is the same and never changed.
