Based on all 3 men in their prime in a tournament.
Bruce Lee put alot into his arts maybe more than the others. Although he has little or no fighting experience. There is only here-say about one fight and who won, that took place in private. All we know is both men claim to have won. And the other challenged Lee to a rematch in public and Lee declined. Bruse did put on many displays of his arts and skills. Although many were strength displays such as one armed 2 finger push ups and the infamous 2 inch punch. Lee took pride in his strength and loved to be the center of attention. He got little respect form the asian community because he was mixed chinese and german and he tought non asian students which at the time was still looked down upon by some asian artists.
Jackie Chan has quite a bit of training fron Wing Stun to Mantis to Hapkido and Judo. But with the exception of Wing Stun and Mantis the rest were all specifically to better his movie fighting.
Based on his stunt work he has proven his toughness and abilities so I think he would be a very tough fighter.
Jet Li has 4 Chinese national championships however they are for Kata competitions. So although his trianing is very real his fighting experience is limited or nil. I know he does most of his own stunts but he is the smaller and weaker of the 3 and probably has the least physical experience of them.
I am a Jackie Chan fan although I respect them all. I just think that if the fights took place in 1970 Bruce would have had to of won with all the hype around him.
As for who is the overall better fighter. This can't be answered as none of them are nor have they ever been fighters. And there is no fight record to or footage for any of them to gage from.
Jet Li is theonly one of the 3 however to have actually competed in his art all be it Kata he has still proven his skills and had titles to show for it.
Additional: What the hell does sparing footage have to do with abilities to fight for real. You will never see 2 strangers sparing. Especially if it is someone like Bruce Lee. He will spar with his chosen partners. If you know enough about Kata and sparing, then you should know it's your Uki or partner that makes you look good. I have read Bruce Lee's Bio and Jet Li's. I also read a bit about Chan. Jet Li is the only one of the 3 to have ever competed in any tournaments. It was Kata so than no he does not have full contact tournament experience. But at least he proved his skills in some way before being made famous by movies. Bruce Lee is an icon made famous by the American film and TV industry. But so is Hulk Hogan...

Do you have any ACTUAL fight footage of jet li or jackie chan?
Not movie stuff fight footage. I have a clip of bruce lee sparring but I don't think you have seen it and are basing your opinion on movie footage.
Therefore like most people who make this topic, they make thier assumptions based on a total lack of knowledge or even some level of educated conjecture.
Find me sparring footage of jackie chan and jet li, and I will get you the bruce lee sparring footage then you can judge intelligently rather than just pull some crap out of your ***.

jackie chan is good but not as good as bruce lee and jet lee.
if bruce lee and jet lee lived in same decade and fought each other i would say bruce lee would win. because he was greatest he never used any special effects when taking movie unlike jet lee.

These three are movie stars. Nobody really knows how well they would do, or would have done in Lee's case, in a real fight.
