RGV showered his admiration for Bruce Lee and said, “There is something remarkably different about Brue Lee which can’t be just his speed, it can’t be just his power. I don’t believe there is more than a 10-15 percent difference in the punching power. It is his personality, it is his screen presence, it is his eyes. He understands the power of his stay. He will give the audience the time to react to his punch. He makes them relish it”
